An 80 page document has been collated by Leo Blore 2017-2018 relating to this family after an old bible of the family was found, an attempts made to return to family.
A very early settler and farming family of Newry, near Maffra. Those in this family either died early, or those that lived to a great age, never married.
Received an email from Russell Blore in Melbourne,
July 2000 (one of the 7 in the phone book... all the others are
related I believe).... I also spoke to him on the phone and he told
me that his father says one of his grandfathers brothers (I think
it was!) migrated to Buffalo (USA) and another to South Africa.
A copy of his information is as follows...
"Gi'day to who ever opens this message. My name is Russell
Blore and
I live in Melbourne, Australia. I'm 32 and married with 1 daughter,
and 1 son. For years I've wanted to know if I have any relatives,
anywhere in the world. My father, Colin Blore, migrated here in
1966, with his second wife. He was brought up in Barnet and has
2
children from his first marriage, Sara, and Richard, both live in
Essex.
To make the search a little easier I've milked
some information out
of my Dad about his parents, grandparents etc. His ancestory is
as
follows.
Father: Leslie George Blore, born 11/7 or
8/1893.
Mother: Dorothy Agnus Blore (nee Butler),
born 11/1/1894.
Grandfather: George Blore, born sometime
in 1864.
Grandfather on his mothers side: Henry Paul
Butler, born 1864/5.
Grandmother on his mothers side: Florence
Butler (maiden unknown).
Thats as much as I can get. So does anyone recognise any of these
names? If your online and have just discovered you have a cousin,
nephew or what ever in the great southern land of Australia, namely
me, please Email me at rblore@start.com.au or rblore@gonnect.net
.
It would be marvelous to know I have family other than immediate,
and
learn a little more of my heritage.
Thankyou to who ever responds. I look forward
to knowing you.
Sincerely yours
Russell John Blore. "

at Battery Point, Tasmania, the 54 foot boat has Blue Gum frames..."
Found on the net at http://www.woodenboatshop.com.au/restorations/restorations.htm
Where does Alf fit in??? Anybody know.???
Is this the same Alf or Arthur Blore who worked
on the paddle boats at Mildura and Wentworth around the 1970's
1980's... known as "Spring Heeled Jack" due to the spring in his
step as he walked?

people are around to ask,we leave it till they've passed on.
What I'd like to find out is whether the other siblings got married
and whatnot and try to find any other ancestors.
I hope this helps,and thankyou again for your taking the time
to answer my email,I hope to talk to you soon.
Warmest regards, Margrette.
