Monaro Pioneers Newsletter
2017 Number 01
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
A LETTER FROM KELLIE
“A
site like Monaro Pioneers is not built by a handful of
Researchers/Administrators.”
A site like Monaro Pioneers is built by hundreds of people who all chip in that
bit of "knowledge" they have and the rest of us just try to match it all up to
make one BIG Tree.
I have worked on many sites and donated millions of hours, only to see those
sites get to 'size' where they close off and begin charging a "membership" fee
etc to access the data and research that I supplied for free. Not just me
either. I know of many researchers who gave up 'helping' because they ended up
having to pay to access data they researched and supplied for free. Not to
mention the hundreds of people who also end up having to pay for 'work/data'
that was supplied free of charge.
Many moons ago when I began helping on Monaro Pioneers that was the ONE thing I
kept checking and asking about...will it always be FREE?
Today we have a database that pretty much spans the world, is growing regularly
and is FREE for everyone. The Admins work to keep it FREE but it is YOU
people who help to keep it growing.
Each month in the newsletter people thank the Monaro Pioneers site. Today, I
would like to thank each and every one of YOU for taking the time to sign up,
join in and supply those bit's of data that none of us would ever know
about,,,,unless YOU told us.
Monaro Pioneers is built by ALL of you. I thank you for that and I am sure
everyone else does too.
Merry Christmas to you all and keep it coming.
It might only be one change or one bit of information BUT in a tree ONE change
can mean all the difference!
If you can, please chip in that bit of "knowledge" in the form of BDM
certificates, newspaper articles, etc which will help Monaro Pioneers to
continue growing and keep the MP Team off the streets.

Subject: Greetings from Jennifer Wood(nee Prendergast)
Dear David,
Greetings from the beautiful Whitsundays in Queensland.
I will be visiting Cooma and staying at Woodvale cottage Cooma from 28 February
until 2 March 2017. I am a Prendergast descendant and would love to meet other
Prendergast/Pendergast descendants who live in the Monaro area
How would you suggest I do this? Do you have a family history group that meets
regularly in Cooma? Where does the group meet please?
I have a very exciting year coming up with a visit to Ireland where I have been
invited to deliver a paper on the Prendergast/Pendergast family at a Conference
in Nenagh, Tipperary May 2017.
I am documenting the Prendergast trail from the Sydney, the Hawkesbury, the
Monaro, the Victorian High Plains and East Gippsland. This video will form part
of the paper entitled ”The quest to find Prendergast family” that I will deliver
at Nenagh.
I am delighted to let you know that I will also host a High Tea on 30 May, 2017
at Enniscorthy Castle to say thank you to the kind people of Enniscorthy who
honoured me with a Welcome home civic ceremony in July 2015. I was touched by
their kindness and wish to repay the gesture.
In 2015 I was awarded a RADF Grant to travel to Ireland to research my
Prendergast family history. I attended the genealogy Summer school at University
College Cork before travelling to Dublin and whilst residing at Trinity College,
undertook a bespoke Archives visit of Dublin and with experts in tow, visited
the various repositories there. These included the Registry of Deeds, National
Archives and National Library of Ireland. I also visited Glasnevin cemetery and
viewed Prendergast ancestors graves.
I was honoured to be the only Australian to be invited to the launch of the
Catholic Parish Registers. I met the Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny and passed
on the well wishes from the people of Australia.
I posted a blog
www.prendergastfamilyhistory.wordpress.com that you might be
interested to view. It details my Prendergast family history journey so far.
Warmest Whitsunday Wishes,
Jennifer Wood(nee Prendergast)
Thanks for the update Jennifer.
I can post your email in the Monaro Pioneer’s Newsletter which will publish this
week.
You could also post your email to the MP Facebook group.

Dear David,
Thank you for your email and for offering to post my email in the Monaro
Pioneer’s Newsletter. It is great that it will be published this week in time
for my Cooma visit.
There may be Prendergast/Pendergast family members who would like to meet
up with me while I am in Cooma who can help fill in some of the gaps I have.
Please feel free to pass on my email details to them.
I would especially like to solve the mystery disappearance off all Australian
records of Catherine Prendergast. Catherine is the mother of John
Prendergast/Pendergast one of your Monaro Pioneers.
If you would like to post the link to my blog on your Newsletter that would be
greatly appreciated as it will fill in my background for anyone interested. It
is
www.prendergastfamily.wordpress.com
I will ensure that I am at the Cooma Library Tuesday 28 February in the
afternoon. Thank you for supplying the contact details.
Sadly, I will leave Cooma on Thursday 2 March and miss the Cooma/Historical
Historical Society meeting.
I will happily post my email to the MP Facebook group.
I have emailed the Snowy Monaro Regional Council Interim General Manager Joseph
Vescio and am hoping to meet with him to talk about my trip to Ireland in May. I
have not had a reply yet.
I have asked him for a letter addressed to the people of Ireland inviting them
to come to Australia and to walk in the footsteps of their Irish ancestor’s who
were transported to Australia and whose descendants helped make Australia the
fine Nation that it is.
This letter would be presented to the Chairman Wexford County Council (similar
position as an Australian state premier) Paddy Kavanagh who is the special guest
at my High Tea in Enniscorthy. Cllr Kavanagh has already accepted my invitation
for May 30th.
There will be a few noted genealogists invited as well.
Warmest Whitsunday Wishes,
Jennifer Wood(nee Prendergast)

Description: From 'The Scrutineer & Berrima District Press', 20 April 1898:
ROBERTSON. An inquest was held on Friday afternoon at the Royal Hotel,
before Mr A D Badgery JP (coroner), and a jury of 12, touching the death of a
young woman named Selina Burgess, a domestic servant; who died at the hotel
early that morning. From the evidence it appears that deceased stated to
the groom on several occasions that she was tired of life, and would take a dose
of some thing. On the Wednesday evening she retired to bed saying she was
unwell. Next morning she was so ill that she had to remain in bed, and was
attended to by Dr Wilson, who resides at the hotel. In answer to enquiries
she denied having taken any thing. That night she admitted to Dr Wilson
and Constable Westropp having taken some 'Rough on Rats' from out of a box on
the mantelpiece of Mr Graham's bedroom. The doctor was in constant
attendance but she died about 4 am on Friday morning. The medical evidence
was to the effect that the illness and death of deceased was due to some
irritant poison such a s phosphorus contained in 'Rough on Rats'.
The jury returned a verdict to the effect "that deceased died from the effects
of a certain poison, 'Rough on Rats,' self-administered." Deceased's
father and mother arrived at Robertson on Saturday morning, when the deceased
was buried in the Robertson cemetery. The funeral arrangements were
carried out by Mr T E Bursill. Deceased was only 16 years of age, and only
five weeks in employ.

his health has not been exactly robust yet he enjoyed life in his quiet way. He
was 71 years of age at the time of his death. Born at Goulburn, Mr Earnshaw
followed many pursuits in his lifetime and moved about the country a lot. He
married in Narandera quite early in life and then came to make his home in
Adelong. For many years he was an employee of the Gadara Shire Council. Three
children in all survive him, they being William, with whom he was resident,
Emily (Mrs Reub McGowan) and Jack, who also lives in Adelong. The funeral was
conducted by the Rev C B Alexander on Monday last, when friends and well wishers

Description: From 'The Goulburn Post', 27 August 1948:
ERENSHAW, Emily Agnes. - The relatives and friends of Mr Ernest [sic] Erenshaw,
9 Addison St, Goulburn, are kindly invited to attend the Funeral of his dearly
loved wife, the late EMILY AGNES ERENSHAW, which will leave St Saviour's
Cathedral tomorrow afternoon (Saturday), after a Service commencing at 4.45 pm,
for the Church of England Cemetery, Goulburn.
From 'The Goulburn Post', 30 August 1948:
The death occurred of Mrs Emily Erenshaw, of 9 Addison Street, Goulburn, at the
District Hospital on Friday after a lengthy illness. The late Mrs Erenshaw
was born in Braidwood 57 years ago, coming to Goulburn with her husband in 1933.
She is survived by her husband and a son, Leo, of Blackheath. The funeral
took place on Saturday after a service at St Saviour's Cathedral.
From 'The Goulburn Post', 20 September 1948:
Labour Stalwart Passes - Mr Allan Fraser, MHR, writes: The Labour Movement in
Eden-Monaro has suffered a severe loss with the passing of Emily Agnes Erenshaw,
wife of Mr Edward Erenshaw, of Addison Street, Goulburn. To thousands of
Goulburn electors she was best known for her unfailing work for the Labour
candidate on polling day. No matter what the weather or the state of her own
health, she took her place outside the booth and, with her husband, was an
unceasing worker throughout the day in distributing voting cards. She knew a
large proportion of the voters by name and had a smile and a word for all of
them. But though this was the sphere of activity in which Mrs Erenshaw was most
generally known, it was only a small part of her all-the-year round work for the
Labour cause. She was constant in her attendance at ALP branch meetings, a
leader in the Women's Auxiliary, and active in all the work of the party. Prior
to coming to Goulburn 13 years ago, Mrs Erenshaw had been equally act ive
in the Braidwood district.
Indeed, for me she represented an inspiration to service because she was
unselfish, cheerful and undaunted whatever the situation. All those who came in
contact with her will agree that she was of the salt of the earth, and there
will be the deepest sympathy for her husband for they were inseparable
companions with ideals and interests truly shared. The late Mrs Erenshaw, who
was born at Braidwood, was the daughter of the late Mr and Mrs Joseph Yeats.
Both her parents were also natives of the district, her father having been born
in Braidwood and her mother in Araluen. Mrs Erenshaw was aged 57.
The Prime Minister, Mr Chifley, expressed great regret at the passing of Mrs
Erenshaw whom he had known personally for many years. "Mrs Erenshaw," he said,
"was a splendid citizen, always ready to help a good cause. Her work for the
Labour Party will be long remembered and her memory held in honour."

OBITUARY
MR. CHARLES SHURMER
Mr. Charles Shurmer, an old and widely respected resident of Goulburn, died at
his late residence, Mayor- street, early on Wednesday morning of hemorrhage of
the brain. He had been in indifferent health, but his death was unexpected.
Additional sadness is lent by the fact that his widow is also seriously ill,
having been confined to her bed for many months.
Mr. Shurmer leaves a family of five daughters--Mrs. A. Larcombe, Mrs. B.
Smith (Ballina-street), and Misses Eva, Jessie, and Florence, all of Goulburn.
The late Mr. Shurmer was born at Bangalore (Komungla) in 1853, and during his 68
years of life passed through some stirring times. He spent some years on the
Araluen goldfields, and had several encounters with bushrangers, of whom he
often discoursed in later years. Eventually be settled in Goulburn, and for some
time carried on important contracting for the Goulburn City Council, later being
associated with Mr. Campbell in a furniture business. A short time since he
retired from active pursuits. The body was interred this afternoon in the C. of
E. portion of the general cemetery.

Description: From 'The Canberra Times', 19 September 1941:
MR JOSEPH READ - The death occurred on Monday night last at his late residence
of Mr Joseph Read, Wattle Grove, Sutton. The late Mr Read was 63 years of
age and had lived in this district all his life, being a son of the late Mr and
Mrs Hugh Read, who were amongst the pioneers of the Canberra and Queanbeyan
district. Being a sheep and wheat farmer of more than average ability, the late
Mr Read built up a very fine property and was a very successful breeder of fat
lambs. His advice and experience of farming were frequently sought and his ideas
in these matters are reflected in the well-managed property he has left behind.
The late Mr Read had not been in the best of health for some time during the
past eight months has been under constant medical attention but despite every
care and attention from his family, gradually became worse. He is survived by
his widow, four daughters and five sons, Geoffrey having been on active service
since the beginning of the war. The funeral service wa s held on
Wednesday afternoon in the St John's Church of England, Canberra, and was
largely attended. The Ven Archdeacon Robertson officiated at the graveside after
having held a service in the Church. Mr M H O'Rourke had charge of the
funeral arrangements.

Hello James
OKeefe,
Your genealogy user account has been activated.
Ian Harvey
Hi Ian,
Thank you so much for that...
I have been able to check only a couple of details this morning.
I am overdue for a visit to the Queanbeyan Museum & Historical Society..
I am following through on research of my own family (from Michael O'Keeffe of
Tharwa).
His story is directly linked to his wife's family (Mary Gallagher, sister of
Patrick Gallagher of Erindale) & niece of Michael Gallagher (of Lanyon &
Erindale).
Michael Gallagher's story is also intertwined with Mary Keegan (orphan, from
Mullingar, Ireland - MG bought her to Australia with he & his wife. Mary Keegan
married Joseph Matthew Oldfield & was matriarch of that large family.
If you have any connections or knowledge of those family to pass on, it would be
greatly appreciated.
I believe I may gain even more from the info of Eroll Scarlett-Lea's family
history notes & book "Queanbeyan District & People", but haven't been able to
resource a copy in Sydney yet.
Many thanks - I appreciate all the work behind your website/databases ect - well
done.
Jock O'Keefe
Hi Jock,
Are you able to provide more details of the Gallagher's so that I can make the
connections in our database please?
Regards, Ian
Hi Ian,
Sorry about the delay in getting back to you.
The basic details that I have are as follows;
Michael Gallagher B: approx 1805 Irishtown, Westmeath, Ireland D: 1898
Queanbeyan
Worked as a groom and gardener to Charles Levington of Levington Park in
Mullingar.
M - Elizabeth Moran B: approx 1813 - Killucan, Westmeath, Ireland? D:1885
Son - John Gallagher B: approx 1830 Irishtown D: 1841 on board ship to Aust.
Nephew - Patrick Gallagher B:1857 Irishtown D:1928 Queanbeyan M: Catherine Wall
(1865-1946)
Niece - Mary Gallager B: 1860 Irishtown D: 1955 Sydney M: Michael Doyle O'Keeffe
(B: 1861 Conna, Co Cork, Ireland -D: 1947 Sydney)
There is a line used in the book "Canberra" by W. Davis Wright - that states "He
(Michael Gallagher) married, at 25, Elizabeth Moran, whose people were in the
employ of Mr Cunningham, of Lanyon". The timeline for the Gallaghers arrival at
Lanyon (see below) would suggest that other Morans came later. But I would be
very interested to know (& be in contact with) if there was a Moran family from
Mullingar already in the area prior to 1842.
I have pulled out a little of what I know (some of the accounts are conflicting
& misleading) to give a brief picture of 'our' Gallaghers. Obviously by
continuing to dig deeper on my research I would love to be in contact with any
persons also checking Gallaghers, Oldfields, Morans etc - to fill out more of
the big picture.
Many thanks, Jock O'Keefe
Michael
Gallagher (and family) in Australia
The Australian
founding father of the maternal line (from Pop’s parents) appears to be the
uncle of our Great Grandmother - Michael Gallagher of Mullingar, Ireland as
uncle to Mary Gallagher, who married Michael O’Keeffe in 1892.
Michael
Gallagher, who hailed from Irishtown, Mullingar (various sources) in County
Westmeath in Ireland. He is documented in the shipping logs as having arrived
with his wife Elizabeth (Moran) in 1842 - with no children between them – on the
ship “Palestine”. They had, unfortunately, set out from Ireland with their last
surviving son, John, who perished on board soon after departure. The couple had
previously lost another 4 sons in Ireland.
Michael and
Elizabeth Gallagher were immediately engaged to work (hired while on board ship
with Davis) for Mr William Davis (on behalf of James Wright) at “Lanyon
Homestead, Queanbeyan”. He had made a favourable impression on this gentleman on
the voyage from Southampton. Mr Davis was the father-in-law of Lanyon’s owner,
James Wright & travelling there with his own wife & children.
(Ship’s
documents detail this & also additional details of their young (orphaned?)
companion, Mary Keagon/Caigon*)
Notes;
James Wright
had married Mary Davis in 1838.
Lanyon was
sold to Andrew Cunningham in (approx.) 1847 – after a period of insolvency but
not outright bankruptcy by James Wright. It continued then to be one of the most
prosperous & successful properties in the area. The buildings & original
homestead (Built by Michael Gallagher) still remain as a tourist
attraction/destination run by the National Trust.
[There was a
Cunningham that travelled on the same ship - The Palestine in 1842 - listed as a
shepherd for work on the Molonglo Plains]
Michael
Gallagher continued to work for James Wright at Cuppacumbalong - and was an
esteemed foreman, builder & formal garden designer. He remained in his employ
until 1854 – when he moved to work his own lease at Waniassa Estate.
When Robertson
Selection Act came to be in the early 1860’s Michael Gallagher was free to
purchase & establish his own property. He chose an area of 200 acres near
Tuggeranong that he named “Erindale”. This property remained part of the
Gallagher family for the next 70-100
years (sheep farming was still taking place in 1972 – whereas the farm & plant
had been sold off in 19__?)
The area was
vast enough to now contain two whole suburbs of Canberra – Monash & Gowrie –
with the central site of the original homestead now appearing as the “Erindale
Community Centre”.
*Mary Caigon
(as her name appears on the shipping records – she is alternately referred to as
Keagon/Keegan) arrived “under the care” of Michael and Elizabeth Gallagher on
the “Palestine” in 1842. She was also immediately taken up for work as a
‘farm servant” to work at Lanyon Estate.
Her story
continues and then is interwoven with the Gallagher & O’Keeffe families. Mary
Keegan soon married Joseph Oldfield who had been one of the longest serving and
trusted Lanyon employees, under James Wright, as a shepherd and then the farm
constable (Lanyon had it’s own jail). Joseph had previously been a convict
assigned to James Wright but had proven his worth in rounding up other
runaways/absconders.
The Oldfields
went on to have eight sons as Joseph proceeded to take work with the Cunningham
owners and later selected his own land at ‘HalfMoon” in the Naas district. THERE
IS EVIDENCE OF JOSEPH OLDFIELD OWNING ADJOINING PROPERTIES WITH Michael
O’Keeffe, James Wright and the De Salis families.
Next step, that I can find, is Michael Gallagher sponsoring his nephew - from
Mullingar, Co Westmeath - Patrick Gallagher to Australia in 1880, aboard the
'Devon'. Patrick was also from Mullingar, Westmeath & was 25 at arrival - listed
as a 'labourer' (hard to transcribe ?).
Michael
Gallagher could have been between 60-75 at that time & ready to 'hand over the
reins' (if Erindale was operating at the time)but I haven't been able to find an
establishment date for the station as yet. The timing & arrangements between
them is vague until i find more info on that.
Patrick
Gallagher is listed as the sponsor for Mary Gallagher then in 1886 - Michael G
is listed as being resident in Yarralumla, Queanbeyan. She then arrived in
December 1886 aboard 'Port Victor' (needs checking?).
In 'Canberra'
by W. Davis Wright (He devotes 2 pages to Michael Gallagher) it states that
(Michael Gallagher) "sent home for a niece & nephew, who did their duty by the
old couple and stayed with them to the end. The farm (Erindale)was left to the
nephew".
Prior to this
Michael O'Keeffe had arrived in Sydney in 1879 on board the Strathleven, aged 20
- also listed as a labourer from his native place - Coona, Co Cork, Ireland.
Michael Doyle
O'Keeffe was sponsored by his cousin, Pat Dinan (?). His mother was also a Doyle
& there are Doyle connections to be checked in the Southern NSW area. There
is no record of his movement from Sydney to Queanbeyan area.
He is later
listed as a grazier in Tharwa. Property listed as 'Fog Hill', Tharwa.
Michael O'Keeffe appears to have sold that property (under hardship) in 1904,
but does not 'appear' again until property & residence listings in the
south-west of Sydney between 1912 & 1915.
After that are
the facts as gleaned from NSW BDM....
Michael
O'Keeffe married Mary Gallagher in 1892.
Following
children all born (registered at) Queanbeyan;
Elizabeth
O'Keeffe - born 1893
Peter - born
1895 - died early - interned at Queanbeyan Cemetery
Joseph - born
1896 (cant track him at all?)
Catherine -
born 1898
Michael
O'Keeffe (Our grandfather) - born 1901
Mary - born
1904

Description: From 'The Canberra Times', 13 June 1934:
SYDNEY, Thursday. Before Justice Boyce in the Divorce Court to-day,
Margaret Adelaide Kirchner, of Molonglo, Canberra, made application for the
access to the three children by her previous husband, Ewen Gordon Bingley.
Bingley opposed the application, stating in an affidavit that when he returned
from a shearing trip in 1931 he found that his wife had sold up all the
furniture in the house at Queanbeyan and taken the three children and run away
in his motor car with Thomas Vivian Kirchener. It was 12 months before he
located his wife. Kirchener was committed for trial on a charge of
stealing the car. The children were running about without boots and were
in tatters. Subsequently, the husband and wife were divorced, and the
woman married Kirchener. An affidavit for the wife denied that the
children had been in a neglected condition at Albury, and stated that Kirchener
had been discharged on the car stealing charge. His Honour granted Mrs
Kirchener access every second Sunday af ternoon, but directed that the
children should not be brought into contact with Kirchener. "There was no
one else in the world to take the place of a mother," said His Honour. "No
matter how wicked the woman was the child could not believe that she had lost
for her own children that love which only the mother could give."

Hi there Ian
My name's Matthew (currently in New Zealand) and I'm related via my mother (an
Allcock/Alcock) to the family that Judy Winters wrote her book about. My
mother's Great great great grandfather, William, was Frederick Alcock's brother
in Tardebigge. I was there just a few days ago actually and my mother grew up
in Redditch, just a few km from where Frederick lived prior to looking for his
brother-in-law in NSW.
I am particularly interested in Judy's book from the 1990s, 'Tardebigge to
Tantawanglo' and wonder if there's anyone at all that might have a copy. With 7
or 8 generations of Alcock's I think this is fairly remote!

Great thanks a lot Ian.
A Margaret Allcock was interested in the Pooley family
her great grandmother Grace Stevens grew up with Fred and Emma Pooley at Summer
Hill and the Royal Hotel in Cooma. Emma was an Evans and Grace was her niece.
I am currently working on the Pooley history, the were
quite significant on the Monaro, they had the coaches and mail contracts from
Goulburn, Gundaroo, Queanbeyan, Cooma and Bombala and also Tarago, Bungendore,
Braidwood, Majors Creek, Araluen and Moruya in the 1870s, 1880s and 1890s. I
think they probably will need to have their own separate family site.

Hello Ian,
I was just looking for a map of Gegedzerick and Berridale area, when an article
appeared about the Monaro Pioneers, and I saw the name JAMES JACKSON JAMIESON.
He was my father's grandfather on his mother's side.
My father is REGINALD FREDERICK RUFF. He is 94 years old. He lives at The
Entrance on the Central Coast, NSW.
History briefly:
Reginald Frederick Ruff's mother was ALICE MAY RUFF nee JAMIESON
MALCOLM McGREGOR b.15.3.1797 married ISABELLA McILCHERE b. 19.7.1815
Both from Campbeltown, Argyl, Scotland. (Branches of this McILCHERE family
still reside in Campbeltown).
Malcolm and Isabella married 1836, and on 24.8.1838 they sailed on the 541 ton
barque the Portland for Australia, with their 2 small children Mary and James.
They were the first of this family to arrive in the Colonies. They were free
immigrants.
When they arrived Malcolm was 41 and Isabella was 23. They lived in Gegedzerick,
and many of their descendants apparently still reside in the area. They had 9
children, 2 named Isabella, who didn't reach adulthood. Isabella died in 1852
aged 37 yrs, on the same day her youngest child, also Isabella, was born. All
buried in Gegedzerick cemetery.
Their 3rd child, Agnes McGregor b. 21.5.1840 married John Peter KOELLNER at
Rocky Plain 1868. He was born in Baden Baden, Germany, 1835, and arrived in
Australia 1844. Agnes died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs Sidney Bottom,
Cooma in 1906.
They had 8 children. Their daughter MARY AGNES KOELLNER b.6.12.1869 married
JAMES JACKSON JAMIESON at Cooma 29.8.1890.
They had 6 children:
* Alice May JAMIESON
Herbert James JAMIESON
Frederick JAMIESON
Ethel Mary JAMIESON
Cecil Wilfred JAMIESON
Doris Evelyn JAMIESON
Alice May married BERTIE FRAZER RUFF. They had 2 sons Reginald Frederick (my
father), and Ronald James (deceased).
As I said, dad is now 94 and doing fairly well for his age.
My husband and I are going to visit friends on the Mornington Peninsular and
thought we would take a look at Gegedzerick and visit the cemetery as I know dad
would be very interested.
Hence, as I said before, I was amazed when I came across the Monaro Pioneers
article.
I will forward a photo of James Jackson JAMIESON.

Description: DEATH FROM FALLING INTO FIRE
A little girl, fifteen months old, daughter of Austin Tritton, came to her death
on Wednesday under these circumstances : The child's parents reside next to the
Manchester House, in Monaro-street. On Tuesday morning, about 10 o'clock, the
child's mother placed her on the floor whilst talking to a neighbour at the
door. The deceased shortly afterwards got to the fireplace, and fell in on some
smouldering ashes, at the same time pulling over a can of cold tea, which fell
into the fire and created a great steam. An elder sister, seeing what had
occurred, threw a bucket of water on the deceased, believing her to be on fire.
The child's mother took the deceased from the fire. Her clothes had not ignited,
and she was but sligtly scalded and burned about the face, neck, and shoulders.
On Wednesday morning, however, the child died from the effects of the shock to
her system. Queanbeyan Age.

Hi Alan,
Yes please, any more detailed information you can provide would be much

Our system will only display surname and initials for living people for privacy
reasons even though we may have more complete details in the DB but for future

possible.
Please send the information and any copies of certificates to me and I will do

I’ve attached printed out sheets of all the Beileiter’s that I have in my

born. The BDM certificates that I have (about 80) is too big a file even zipped
to send (about 80mb) so if you give me your address I’ll send a disc to you if
you like. The sheets that I have sent only show 1 spouse and there are several
with more than 1 so I’ll try to let you know them. If you find any mistakes I
would appreciate you letting me know as I know there are others with slight
differences than I have and in these cases I’ve tried to prove that what I’ve
got is correct. If I can help in any other way please also let me know. One
thing that I would like to know is what area does the Monaro cover from where to
where as I’ve other relos that I’ve traced that could be in the area.

Description: Additions of death information:
I believe that Mary died in 1980, as per the following from the NSW BDM death
index: RYAN Mary, father: Sylvester, mother: Margaret, registration: 11260/1980.
This would appear to be contrary to the marriage recorded for Mary, to a B[asil]
Honan. I believe that this Mary was the daughter of an M. E. Ryan, as per this
article in the Windsor and District Gazette of 6 Jul 1955, which has Basil as
the brother-in-law of the bridesgroom:
Windsor and Richmond Gazette (NSW : 1888 - 1954), Wednesday 6 July 1955, page 3
"District Wedding
RYAN BROWN
St. Monica's, Richmond, was chosen for the wedding recently of Pauline Rita,
only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. J. ('Bob') Brown, of the Lowlands, to Phillip
Michael, only son of Mr. M. E. Ryan and the late Mrs. Ryan, of Nelligen. Rev.
Father Madden officiated.
The bride looked charming as she entered the church on the arm of her father.
Her frock featured a guipure lace bodice, with a high collar, and long sleeves
pointed at the wrist. The skirt was of nylon net scattered with guipure lace
flowers, each centred with a seed pearl. A pearl tiara held in place her three
tiered finger-tip veil. She car ried a bouquet of white rose buds, tuberoses,
lily-of-the-valley and mock orange. The bride was attended by a school friend,
Mrs. Ken Perks (Glenorie), as matron of honour, gowned in blue hailspot nylon,
and a cousin, Miss Betty Shepherd (Braid wood), as bridesmaid, gown ed in lilac
hailspot nylon. With headdresses of nylon, they carried posies of cream roses.
The bridegroom was at tended by his brother-in-law, Mr. Basil Honan (Nelligen),
as best man, and Mr. George Brown, as groomsman. Receiving the guests at the
R.S.L. Hall, Richmond, the bride's mother chose a black green tie silk frock,
with white, close-fitting hat, and black accessories, and a shoulder spray of
cream rose buds and lily-of -the- valley. She was assisted by the bride groom's
sister, wearing a wine wool suit, with black accessories and shoulder spray of
cream rosebuds and slipper orchid. The beautiful wedding cake was made by Mrs.
S. E. Brown, an aunt of the bride. Some guests travelled from as far as
Nelligen, Bateman's Bay, Ulladulla, Kiama, Berry, Connell's Point, Ryde, Horns
by and Gosford. Leaving for the honeymoon (spent touring by caravan to
Queensland), the bride wore a ming blue velvet frock, with black accessories.
The future home of the happy couple will be at Kiama."
I hope that this makes sense.

Hi Ian, since my last note, I have discovered that John Brodie is half
brother to my William Henry Bryant, same mother, john being the older brother,
another brother Benjamin was also transported for life Elizabeth Gore(brodie,
bryant, condell) has 3 out of 4 sons transported, John Brodie, was a witness at
William Henry Bryant's wedding, how do I go about letting the family of
john brodie know this information, I am quite happy to pass on all the info I
have to them. also the 1st wife of Anthony Bryant was Mary Ann Weblyn, I miss
that out before, have just got back into the Bryant side, hence all this
information. John Brodie took the name of Bryant, he was charged under Bryant
with the alias of Brodie
regards robin buck
Hi Robin,
Thanks for the information. This email will be included in our next newsletter
and hopefully that will reach the Brodie family.
Can you provide any details on Benjamin?
Regards, Ian
Hi Ian,
I have a little more info Benjamin (born 1815) was
arrested and tried at Northampton Assizes on 11 July 1836 as was sent to
Australia for life per ship Norfolk, he was tried and transported as Gore his
mothers maiden name, but is seems he was a full brother to William (born
1819), Thomas James ( born 1820 ) and Frederick Joseph (born 1823)
Frederick arrived in Australia 21 December 1858 on the
ship Forest Monarch he was sponsored to come here by his brother Benjamin, on
the ships documents Benjamin was given as Benjamin Bryant a brother of Singleton
but in immigration Deposit Journals he is Benjamin Gore
Elizabeth now had 3 sons as convicts in Australia
apparently John Bodie advertise in Sydney Morning Herald
looking for Henry Brown, (ship Susan) William Henry Bryant (Henry Tanner) And
Benjamin Gore (Norfolk) saying that if they contacted him they would hear
something to their advantage, it seems that William did, as he was in the Monaro
area not too long after, I don't know who Henry Brown was.
this is all I have for now

Hi Ian,
I am looking for info on Charlie Wilkie, son of Annie Burgess. I can not find
any proof Charlie was aboriginal other than on his death certificate and as you
know this can come down to the opinion of the person giving the info at the time

information up on the web page to see if they have actual proof.
As a family member I have followed through with this information but cant seem
to find any verification any where. The name Wilkie doesnt appear to be known
among the aboriginal people of the area either and it has been suggested the
original Charlie Wilkie may have not been from the tribe stated on your web

Description: From 'The Canberra Times', 5 January 1944:
MOORE-BOOTH. St Johns Church of England Canberra was the scene of a pretty
wedding on Saturday, December 18, when Thelma, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs C
H Moore, Ainslie, was married to Geoffrey Charles youngest son of Mr and Mrs W
Booth, the Causeway. The ceremony was performed by Archdeacon Robertson.
The bride who entered the church on the arm of her father chose white cloque cut
on classical lines and trimmed with silver. The long silk net veil trimmed
with lace was held in place with a topknot of Christmas lilies and orange
blossom. She carried a bouquet of Christmas lilies and carnations.
The bridesmaids were Misses Laurel and Lois Booth, twin sisters of the
bridegroom. They wore pink figured net over taffeta. Their shoulder
length pink tulle veils were held in place with matching flowers. They
carried bouquets of blue and pink delphiniums. The brother of the bride Mr
W Moore was best man, and Mr Ken Mullins groomsman. Mrs Robertson presided
at the organ. The reception was held at Wilkie's Tearooms Manuka, where
the bride's mother, wearing an ensemble of blue figured silk with matching
shoulder spray, received the guests. She was assisted by Mrs Booth who
wore a black ensemble with a shoulder spray of mauve sweet peas. The
honeymoon was spent in Sydney. For her travelling frock, the bride
selected a dusty pink Canadian crepe ensemble with white accessories.
