I invite you to have a look through our family history pages on this site. If  you have any additional information that you feel may be useful, or any  corrections to the information here, please drop me an email.

Access to this site is now unrestricted as due to illness I have been unable to keep up with all  the requests to view the Family Tree. My sincere apologies to those to whom I have not been able  to reply or act on information provided. I hope to have some more time to correct some of the  entries and submit an updated tree later in 2010.

Our branch of the Cooling family appears to have originated in the area around  Nottingham in England and eventually spread to South Australia with the  arrival of my parents, sister Yvonne and me, aboard the `Strathaird` in  September 1957.

The Wood family is a bit more of a mystery but again has its origins in  England. Several generations ago, the first Wood arrived in Australia but we  are still researching the details of where and when.

Other names in our ancestory for which I have information are :- Rivett, Revitt, Sim(m)s, Maylin(g), Johnson,(H)Enning Mills and Talbot. There  are of course many others for which I am still searching.

My thanks to all those people who have contributed to this research so far.

I hope you find the site interesting and can make use of the information in  your own research.
