Hi Kathy, I live in Katanning Western Australia and doing research on Thomas Edwin Applin who was born in 1868 in Dorset and married to Agnes Moore. I have recently bought an old cottage... believed to be built in 1925 and I believe the cottage was built by Thomas for a George McLeod Jnr.George passed away in 1929 and Thomas on the 22nd November 1939 aged 72. There is still some family living in Katanning and I believe one of his daughters Thelma died in 2007. I just need to find out if Thomas was a builder as we would like to name the cottage after him and put a 'Circa' date on the name board. If you would like further history on the WA side and you have no contacts here I'll be happy to help. Cheers Jan Beswick
