War Trophy
Dear sir,
The City of Liverpool sub-Branch of The RSL is seeking information on the WW1 German Field Gun that is in the possession of Liverpool city Council. The War Trophy in question is number 13379 was issued to the Cooma people in May 1921 for the displaying of it in recognition of Cooma’s contribution to WW1. This war trophy has been in the possession of Liverpool City Council circa 1965. Why Liverpool has it is unknown therefore I seek your help in establishing as to why, how and when it came into the possession of Liverpool. Maybe this information can be obtained from yourself and the local Historical organisation to assist the City of Liverpool sub-Branch of The RSL.
Should you require further details on this matter please feel free to contact the City of Liverpool sub-Branch of The RSL 171 George St Liverpool 2170. My contact details are (m) 0417451813 or email gjlucas@bigpond.net.au

Hi Ian,
Just a quick note re an item on page 18 of 65 for David Myers
b1803. I note that for LORNA E. HARDAKER daughter of Henry J. and
Elizabeth nee Myers, it is stated that she married Kenneth S. McKinnon 1930 in
Waverley. I have her married to Frank Ryan 1934 Sydney and in 1943
married to Harry Peel in Randwick. Back in the late 1980's I had a
lot of contact with Lorna and it was from her I received the information that I
have. She had one son, Kenneth J. born to Harry Peel. I haven't located
any marriage to McKinnon, however, the above marriages can also be checked on
BDM NSW site.
Take care and thanks for all the hardwork you and others have put into this
site. (Oh, just thought, I think from
memory that you have Patricia Hayes nee Hides b1926 daughter of Emma nee Myers
and Arthur George Hides as being deceased, this is also incorrect at my time of
writing.)
All the best, Colleen
Thanks Colleen,

In addition,there were a number

Dear Ian
I finally mailed off the USB to
you today, containing the family lines of Hutchison and Lowrie . Why the
separate one for Lowrie? Well, Mary Ann Lowrie, the half-sister of
Christian Lowrie, who married William Hutchison, married Robert Nisbet
Richardson and settled on the Monaro.
I have also included BDM’s (I have
more, but these will do for the minute) and Wills of Monaro folk.
There are also a few more family
photos to add. Where someone else has supplied the photo, I have labelled
them, such as the wedding of Cyril Rostron and Ethel Cotterill in 1920, which
was courtesy Irene Ramsay, and of course Nangutta Station (I think I sent you the
NLA’s permission to put on the Monaro website a couple of emails ago).
Many thanks, once again, for all
the wonderful work that you and the team have done and continue to do.
Warmest regards, Judy

Hi Judy,
I am not often stopped in
my tracks with awe and amazement these days but the material you sent is
amazing! I am progressively working my way through all the files
selectively choosing that which I believe would be appropriate to add to the MP
database. The amount of extra detail I have so far added as a result is
tremendous. In particular, the birth register pages for the Bendoc
and Northern Gippsland areas is a gold mine of information and I am adding each
page with the appropriate links to the individuals in the MP database.
The task is much bigger than I anticipated but the excitement of finding so
much more information is driving me forward.
I am writing this thank
you note before I have completed the task of perusing all your material simply
because I want you to know how grateful I am and how excited you have made me
and to ensure all the newsletter readers can know about your extraordinary
material and see it for themselves.
I suggest the first thing
anyone does upon reading this is to look at the "What's new" option
in the MP database search facility to look for known ancestors who may have
changed. The second thing to do is select the "Documents"
option in the MP database search facility and search for "birth reg"
which should give a list of all the Birth Registration pages you have supplied
and each one will show the links to the various individuals concerned.
Thank you Judy once again
for your wonderful support, it is people like you who make this whole thing so
worthwhile.

to information Ethel Maud Bailey
Hello,
My maiden name was Sandra Campbell
and I am the granddaughter of Ethel Maud Bailey. I have tried for some
time to find out more information about my great grandparents Thomas Henry
Bailey who married Emily Jane Piper in Tumut in 1891. I was thrilled to
locate my family tree on your website.
I would like to make an alteration
to your extremely valuable and important information. You list that Ethel
Maude Bailey died in 1941. This Ethel Maude Bailey is not my grandmother.
Please note that the spelling of my grandmother is Ethel Maud
Bailey.
Ethel Maud Bailey was born in July
1897 in Tumut. She married Daniel George Campbell in Tumut in 1918.
They had 6 children:
Christina Esme Campbell – 1
daughter: Yvonne Brown
Dorothy Campbell – no children
Sylvia May Campbell – died by
burns as a baby around 1925
Lindsay Daniel Campbell – no
children
Neil Joseph Campbell – 3 children:
Sandra Campbell, Kevin Campbell, Brenda Campbell
Dallas James Campbell – no
children
All the children are now
deceased.
Ethel Maud Campbell (nee Bailey)
died in Shellharbour hospital 12th January, 1990 aged 92
years. She is buried in the Catholic section of Gerringong Cemetery with
her husband, my grandfather George Daniel Campbell.
Thank you. Sandra

Hello I an,
I now know, from your
website, that Thomas Boyd is in the Tumut Pioneer Cemetery. I forgot
to mention that I am planning to go to Tumut Cemetery this month to view the
grave of my great x 4 (I think) Thomas Boyd who came to Australia for high
treason. My grandmother told the family that Annie Boyd was the first
Australian. I can only see from your website that Thomas Boyd's daughter
was Elizabeth Boyd. So I can only assume that the name her family
called her was Annie.
Thank you again so much for
putting this information on the web for me to find. Sandra
Campbell-Crofts
Thank you Sandra, we are
glad our humble website was helpful. I look forward to seeing the photos
of the graves so we can add them to the database.

Dear Ian,
As a new member I hate to be
difficult, but I have some new information for you. When researching the
children of William Henry Silk (Gen.2 No.4 of the descendants of Joseph Walpole
Silk) I have seen that WH Silk’s wife is supposed to be Elizabeth
Marshall. All the ancestry.com family connections have this
information. I had him married to Eliza Holdsworth and I couldn’t figure
out why. (My research started about 13 years ago and has been very
spasmodic, and working with four families, husband’s and mine, information
didn’t always stick in the mind.)
This morning I unearthed a birth certificate
for my grandmother Mary Ann Silk born 17th November 1873 at Square Range,
Nimmitybelle (sic) showing her parents as William Silk, Carrier and Eliza
formerly Holdsworth. One of the witnesses was Mrs. M. Holdsworth.
I also have a marriage certificate
for my grandparents Alfred Archibald Leal and Mary Ann Silk showing her parents
as William Henry Silk and Eliza Holdsworth. What would you like me to do?
I am happy to photocopy these certificates for you, provide any information I
can and do whatever you need me to do to help.
Sorry for the disruption.
Kind regards, Tricia
Kernahan
Hi Tricia,
Thanks for the input, I
will amend our records. The NSW BDM marriage index shows William Silk
marrying Elizabeth Marshall. Did Elizabeth Holdsworth marry a Marshall
before William Silk? If you can send me scanned copies of the
certificates I can add them to the individual's records in our database to
support the facts you have told us.
Please don't apologies for
helping us establish the true facts, we encourage additional information and
corrections.

SUICIDE SUSPECTED Victor Venables, 30, a native of Cooma N.S.W. was found dead
near the water tower at the rear of the Victoria Hotel early Thursday morning.
The discovery was made by the
yardman at the hotel.
The body was taken to the
mortu- ary at the Darwin Hospital. Police found a note on Venables addressed to
"Phyl" which said, "If I cannot see you I shall do away with my-
self."
It is thought that the note was
addressed to a girl with whom the deceased
had had some differences
recently.
Police said that death which
was instantaneous must have been caused by a 40 fall or jump from the water
tower.
Several friends of Venables
said that he appeared to be despondent on Wednesday night.
He awoke his camp, mate Mr.
Proberts at their camp on Foster's beach in the early hours of Thursday morning
and asked him to have a drink.
Venables later left the camp
and was not seen alive again.
The deceased was well known in
Tennants Creek where he was a partner with Alan McDonald in a mining venture.
Lately he had been engaged in
carrying out a painting contract on the water tanks for John Waygood and Co .
A coronial inquiry will be held
in to the cause of his death.

Dear Ian,
Just a word to thank you for
all the hard work you and others have obviously done to set up and maintain the
Monaro Pioneers Register. I have been doing my family research on and off
for about 10 years and am getting very close to 'publishing'. Only on
Tuesday did I discover a huge mistake in my research. My paternal
grandmother's (Mary Ann Silk) grandfather was not the Joseph Silk I thought he
was, grandson of William Silk 'rebel and convict' but Joseph Walpole Silk who
married Maria Thompson at Bungonia in 1841.
Your website has been
invaluable in correcting my research and has also awakened an interest in
visiting the Monaro area. I see 'Boco' is a
recurring name in the
area. I am also in touch with the Hill End and Tambaroora Gathering
Group through my husband's side of the family and have great admiration for all
the volunteers who keep our history alive.
Many, many thanks again

I sure I asked this before but I find it hard to work the new way Monaro Pioneers are updated.
I checked my Hall & Legge descendants and all needs updating but what is the easiest way to sent to you plus I have a lot of info in notes of families that is added information given to me & not the world to see.
As you know I have been researching for years but some of on Monaro Pioneers is not correct. People have asked me why this & that and I have not added what they asked.
One that showed out to me instantly was Amy Eva Smith she was not born Bega but in Goulburn, parents William SMITH & Sarah Elizabeth Rose Ann JONES. They are also the parents of Elma Maude SMITH who married David LEGGE. Plus lots of other siblings.
Amy Eva birth index is 14728/1893. Birth date is 30-Apr- 1893 and died Melbourne but buried in Tweed Heads Cemetery. Her first marriage was to Archibald Hamilton Joseph William Legge 10 July 1912.
2nd marriage was to Harold Holt and they are both in the Tweed Heads Cemetery under HOLT.
Elma Maude SMITH WAS BORN 19-March-1889 also in Goulburn and married to David Legge. Her birth registration is 14107/1889.
I receive the newsletter and from month to month amazing some connecting names of families.

Subject: Ryrie family
Ian,
I am compiling my side of my families ancestral tree.
My grandmother was a daughter of Donald Horne Ryrie born in Windsor, England about 1863 and left England with parents and family for the epic voyage to Australia when only 3 months old - story has it that their departure was delayed as according to my mother the birth should have taken place in Australia -on delving into records her name is not shown as part of the family but have found recently an entry is on record that the family arrived in Melbourne around that time but no date. My grandmothers name was Margaret Mary Ryrie - I am writing to let you know that there was this daughter of which there doesn't appear to have any record in your jottings of her existence.
If you can spare some time I would like to know when the family arrived back in Australia for it seems they lived out here earlier and went back to England for awhile, and their place of residence in Australia, I do know that my grandmother went to a girls school called 'Roseneath' or similar in name and gather it was in Victoria, and married at an early age to a Robert Cooke, who changed his name to Stuart, shortly afterwards.
I am also interested to see any family photos that may be in existence.
Would like to hear from you sometime,
Regards, Margaret Denney.
Hi Margaret,
All the information we
have is already displayed on our website.
Regards, Ian

Subject: Extra Certificates
Hi David,
You received mail from Judy McCutcheon re extra certificates she has.
http://ausbdm.ucoz.org/tblCertificates.pdf
I have been using a site for some years where certificates can be listed, and the owner contacted for sharing of certificates. This is a free service, organised by Gordon Beach.
I submitted my correct certificates, and those I have acquired in my research that did not fit my family. I have had contact from several people and I have copied and shared information.
Hope this information can be shared via your newsletter.
