Mona Green anyone?

Well I am back manacled to the desk after a happy week in Tuross. How about youse?

There was some conjecture in developing the family tree last week about the real identity of Mona Green who married Jack Roff. Her grandchildren knew her as Mardi and were generally in awe of her. But Eileen Mona Green she was, as per the wedding pics and description attached, obtained from another of Mum's dossiers (Roff, Osborne, Musgrave, Seage, Bernasconi amongst others). A bit of trivia is that Mardi/Mona turned 120 last Monday (12th Jan). I have never known the Roff's to be big headed, but looking at Jack in the photo I would forgive any of you if you were. Well, he was my grandfather too.

The other wedding shot is of Frank Green, Mona's elder brother, marrying Linda McBride. They produced Don (1922), Noel (1926) and Max (1928). Max died quite young. Noel sadly passed away last week and his funeral was last Friday while we were in Tuross. His son Mark came to Betty's funeral. So there is only one of that generation of Green-Roff remaining…and he (Ken), derived from Walter and Thelma, has lived in Canada since he was 20.

Not sure if you can read the fine print….but trust me.
