Sorry it has been over a year since I have updated this blog. Last year I decided to have some time away from technology for the majority of the year. It was a refreshing and busy time; however it did mean I got out of the habit of transcribing from Lina’s diary.
What a blessing it was to receive comments from people who were related to Lina! I was glad that this site was able to assist someone researching their family tree. It has been encouraging to read that this site has been useful to someone. I hope you have enjoyed reading Lina’s diary as much as I have.
I will try and finish the diary this year. What is left looks to be some old letters, notes and clippings which are loose in the back of the diary. I will scan them in and try to transcribe as time permits.
Once again sorry I haven't updated for a while. I will try and be a little more consistent until the diary is completely transcribed. There are about 7-8 more pages to go, all loose paper in the back of the diary.

Aunt Lina and her unmarried sister used to own adjoining houses on the site of what is now the Burnie Hospital. When they died they left the money to my Grandfather who had returned from the war. He had 10 children but no money - he rented farms to try and earn a living and support the family. The money they left enabled him to buy his first ever property in Devonport - the area that is now known as Maxwell Court. This is named after my Uncle Max (the eldest son of my Grandfather)who inherited the property.
