 This really has nothing to do with ancestors it is a song I wrote for the inaugural  day for the Wanneroo Joondalup womens choir .

MAKE IT CHANGE 

When I find a friend, who is in trouble 

words then like wisdom come to me

Echo through my mind, to leave it be 

And so, I close my eyes and move on 

Till new words they come again 

Come on be a friend, make it change 

 

Make a change Give a smile 

Be a friend Lend a hand 

make it change make it change

2

And when I see the lonely people 

Living down the street from me 

It Echoes through my mind, leave it be 

And so, I close my mind and move on 

Till new words they come again 

Reach out to your neighbour, make it change 

 

Make a change Give a smile 

Be a friend Lend a hand 

make it change, Make a change 

3

When I am feeling lonely and

I think nobody cares for me 

I hear my friends all singing make it change

Change poverty of friendship 

Into one of living harmony 

For I hear us singing make it change 

Change your self 

Change your street 

Change your town 

Change the world 

Make it change 

Make it change  

4

I know there is a place to be

it’s me with you and you with me 

and so, we join in singing 

make a change

with helping hands and stepping out

the world will know what were about

for we will make a difference 

make a change  

Change your self 

Change your street 

Change your town 

Change the world 

Make it change 

Make it change 

 this was sung to the tune Hallelujah by T Cohen from Shrek 

it can also be sung to Let it be by the Beatles. The day I wrote this I heard Let it be, sung as the 1st song on a world wide fund raising festival for famine, and I thought No you should not let it be you need to change it!

  That square part of the shed was where Charles Blegg commenced his life and lived until he was 4. Also in that shed were his parents John and Margaret and 8 siblings, including a baby younger than Charles. That was the gardeners and grave diggers shed at the Anglican Church at Ouse Tasmania. It wasn’t much to call home but as many only had a small tent or canvas lean too it was better than some. When Charles was 4 disaster struck, his 69 year old father died, and so his job went to someone else and with the job and the tools for grave digging they also lost the shed they had called home. Charles found himself at the age of 4 dumped by his mother at the Hobart Orphans home, with not a thing to call his own. After a short time there a foster family was found for him, many farm women liked the idea of fostering a boy, he could help on the farm, and she got paid to care for him, plus there was an extra amount as soon as he was old enough to go to school, there were clothes supplied b...

  About Margaret Blegg   I knew i had this information but could not find it, as i have time to sort out some thumb drives i have found the copy i took.  some things to note  Margaret was born in Tasmania, according to her , and she was born at Big River Tasmania. this document was because she left her 2 daughters in a field with nothing : desertion for which she served 14 days.  by this time she had another daughter to Charles Walsh.

  2022 52 ANCESTORS WEEK 5 Week 6 AT THE LIBRARY I know the great value of the library, although I have not been to the local library since we moved home a year ago, but while studying for Families at War, a subject of the family history course offered by UTAS, I spent a lot of time at the family history part of the Wanneroo library. Where I was given access to photos that had not been sorted but placed in storage to be looked at at a later date .  I borrowed Many books about the 1st world war and sat and read articles that could not be removed from the library.  It was in the library that I read the sad stories about the great great great grandfather of 3 of our grandchildren. But it had a good ending as he returned home and after his wife died shortly after his return he raised his 2 children on his own.
