Hi I had family living at 21 in the 1890's. They sold second-hand clothing. I have no idea when the property was demolished (I presume it was). Is it possible to locate the position upon the old maps? Dave PS My dad was born in Gee Street early 1900's. No. 4 I think.

Terry Thank you for the response. I am trying to find out if my Grandfathers name appears in the book. I have an idea of his Battalions from his record. I understand there are lists of soldiers names. Would it be possible for you to check easily? I have tried to source a book but live many...
