Hi Mary - I have been corresponding by email with Sylvia and she directed me to this thread on the Bulletin Board. I was so surprised and delighted to hear about the sampler you have worked by either Alice Jane Collister or Esther Elizabeth Collister - or both. My grandmother, Anna Rubina Collister, was their sister. Alice Jane had a daughter with William Henry Clucas (cannot find a marriage record), called Annie Margaret (known to me as Auntie Nancy). When Alice died in 1915, Nancy was sent to Australia at age 11, to live with her aunt and uncle, Anna (Collister) and John Joseph Hampton (my grandparents). I would love to hear from you. I believe you have a photo of the sampler, could you possibly send me a copy?
