Comments (Power, John b. 1799 Ireland d. 6 Sep 1872 Wyndham, New South Wales):
I’m finding your website fantastic and it’s been so helpful in my research
On the Breens. My soon to be wife Maree, is descended from Daniel Breen who
married Mary Anne Byrnes but his son Michael Joseph married Emma Jess who was
John George Jess’ daughter.
Working up from John George Jess’ wife Jane Power, Jane’s father is supposed to
be John Power who was a convict from Ireland landed in 1822 on the Prince of
Orange but I simply can’t find a record of him being on this ship. Are you able
to provide some sort of verification?
Rob Isaacs
Hi Rob,
The information we have is as supplied to us and we have no documentary evidence
of John Power’s arrival. I recommend you look at the following link for
more detail on him and his family and a contact to discuss further.

old bank book
Hi Ian,
I was wondering if you may know any of the family descended from John Nichall(?)
Woodhouse?
Years ago I helped demolish a house next to Tea Gardens near Nimmitabel and we
found a rolled up bank book in behind the wall that was being used as a mouse
house. I rescued the book and have had it ever since and always wondered if I
could find an interested relative. I just came across the Monaro Pioneers site
and thought I would see if you might be able to assist?
The bank book dates back to 1938/39 and was with the Commercial Bank, Jindabyne
branch. It is fascinating as it states the names of all the individuals and
business's he dealt with.
I hope someone can help find a relative. Otherwise would a local museum be
interested? I would prefer to find a relative.
Thanks, Libby
Hi Libby,
I suggest you put the details and perhaps a photo of the book on our Facebook
page. I am sure you will attract some interest that way.

Subject: Mary Higgs, George Higgs
and Sarah Moore
Dear Monaro Pioneers,
Thanks so much for your very informative website. I do have family who were
Monaro Pioneers and are on your website. It’s wonderful to have all the
genealogies together like that for reference.
I’m a descendant of George Higgs great, great, great grandfather
(1799-1862) MP48358
and Sarah Moore MP48359.
(great , great, great grandmother)
Sarah Higgs 1842-1882 (great great grandmother ) MP172446
George Stephen During (great great grandfather ) MP250209
Catherine Higgs (great grandmother) 1871 MP250212
If you are interested I can add Catherine’s descendants.
I have had shared DNA matching with trees with two different people on
Ancestry.com
, one for George Higgs and Sarah Moore
and another with Sarah Higgs. So I’m pretty confident these are my family.
However , I’m still not sure if Sarah Moore was originally Hopkin/s or not as
I’ve been trying to work out why people think the Sarah Moore that married
George Higgs was Sarah Hopkin. There are a few inconsistencies with her death
certificate and George’s request with marriage with Sarah Hopkin.
DOB, place of birth. (Campbell Town not Parramatta, 1803/8 not 1799)
I’m struggling to see why people jump to match them together other than
everyone does it.
I did note on your website something interesting.
On your page for my great great grandmother Sarah Higgs (1842) MP172446
your
site says
2] Roman Catholic, with sister Mary, 20 February 1849. BORN 27 December 1842
Sarah's double baptism is one of the recorded
facts which ties this family together - without it there would be very little to
accurately connect the George and Sarah HIGGS family and the George HIGGS and
Sarah HOPKINS family as one family group.
I have been trying to verify this second Catholic baptism which would in part
add credence to the linking of Sarah Moore with Sarah Hopkin as Sarah Hopkin’s
mother was and Irish Catholic Convict from Dublin. Hannah Birmingham.
I tried to search on
ancestry.com for
the Catholic baptism but to no avail.
I thought then I would try and find Mary Higgs birth details who was supposed to
be baptised with her sister, my great great grandmother.
I looked at the reference for Mary Higgs on your website in this family.MP57426
I saw there was a reference for her birth certificate. with NSW BDM Index V18471700
32A/1847
I looked up
ancestry.com and
found a Mary Higgs with exactly the same NSW BDM Index V18471700
32A
However although in same area it was for different parents, Not George Higgs
and Sarah but Jesse Higgs and Ann

I am wondering if there is any proof that this joint baptism of Sarah and

Sarah Higgs with parents George Higgs and Sarah
I would really like to know who my great great great grandmother Sarah Moore who
married George Higgs was, and also learn more about the rest of my family who
spent so much time in the Monaro region.
Thanking you, Anne Hibbard
Hi Anne,
I agree, the link to Sarah Hopkin(s) is tenuous to say the least. I
have not seen any documentation to support the double baptism argument so am not
in a position to adjudicate either way.
However, given that Sarah Hopkin(s) was born July 1st, 1799 and appears to still
be having children with William Moore (according to LDS transcriptions) after
the first born to George Higgs (Oct 20th 1838) would add weight to your doubts.
I think that Sarah Hopkin(s) would have been a most remarkable woman, if in fact
she was the wife of George Higgs because their last child was born March 12th,
1851 making her nearly 52 years of age which at that time was highly usual for a
woman to still be bearing children.
I will change our records accordingly.
If you have any copies of BDM certificates I would be most appreciative if you
could send me a copy to add to the individual’s records in our database. I
would also very much appreciate any information you can provide on Catherine and
her descendants.
The pioneers index entry for George Higgs does list the contact information for
the contributors of the Higgs information so you might try contacting them to
discuss your request.

Hopkins, Mary Elizabeth (I98359)
Hello Ian ... I am working on some old land records in Bega (in the main
shopping area). The MP website has been so helpful for sorting out relationships
where there were several part owners.
Regarding Mary .. her date of death was 19 Sept 1942 (“aged 66 years”).
This is the only death for a Mary Brown in 1942 at Bega
Her husband’s name seems to be spelt “LaW...” (this is also the spelling
on the Old Deeds I am looking at).
The death notice indicates issue from second marriage of a daughter Beryl
(though there is nothing in the births index up to 1916).
There is a 1942 marriage of Beryl Alexander Brown to Charles Phillip Cumberland
(at Bega). If it is this person MP231184 then he married a year after he
enlisted. He apparently died 21 Feb 1999 (Ryersons)
Beryl Alexander Cumberland died 17(?) August 2011 (there is apparently an Obit
in the Bega District News 30 Aug 2011 ... but I don’t have access to it)
Sorry ... these last bits unsubstantiated and so may not be of use to you.
Ian, when someone on the FaceBook page asks for help and no relatives answer
within a week or two, I sometimes do a bit of research and post things like
screenshots of relevant BDM index entries; or bits from the newspaper.
Should I also be sending this information to you? ... or do you use helpful

Description: From 'The Cumberland Argus', 10 March 1954:
FLAGS flew in Chestnut Road, Auburn, on a sunny October day in '45, when a great
welcome home awaited Private Carlyle Clarence Smith (45) and his eldest son,
Private Keith Smith (24), returning after three and a half years together in a
Japanese prisoner of war camp. Smith, a former railway guard, and his son,
enlisted together, reached Malaya with the first Australian contingent, were
captured together, endured hell on earth together. Often desperately sick and
despairing, the father was devotedly nursed by his son. Last week, the son again
sat at his father's bedside in the Repatriation General Hospital, Concord, where
the flame of life, long dimmed by prisoner of war camp suffering, feebly
flickered and was gone.

Description: From 'The Catholic Press', 25 July 1907:
DEATH OF ALLAN McKEIG. On Monday afternoon week a young lad named Allan
McKeig, son of Mr Sandy McKeig, of Jeir, near Yass met with an untimely end.
He was evidently thrown or fell off his horse, for he was found some time after
in a dying state, only living for a short while after being picked up. It
appears the young lad was suffering from whooping cough, and must have commenced
to cough whilst riding along and became powerless, for some of the goods that he
was sent to purchase were found some distance away. Great sympathy is felt
for Mr and Mrs McKeig. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon, and
was largely attended, the scholars from St Augustine's boys' school walking in
front of the hearse as a mark of respect to their schoolmate. The remains
were interred in the Catholic cemetery, the Rev Father O'Reilly officiating at
the grave. RIP.

Hi Ian,
I believe that the list of children for John & Rebecca THURSTON should be
amended as follows:-
Include:
Henry H. Wakeling/Thurston, born 1884 in Cooma.
Exclude:
Henry William Thurston, born 1903 in Bega.
The attached Notes explain my reasoning.
Please let me know what you think.
Regards, Robert Ward.
Hi Robert,
I agree with your conclusion about Henry H. Thurston(Wakeling).
As for Henry William, I suspect he is in fact Arthur Maurice Thurston
born 1895 but as yet I am unable to verify my presumption. Arthur Maurice
enlisted in the 1st AIF in 1916 and was subsequently listed as a deserter but
later found to be seriously ill in Cooma Hospital which led to him being
discharged medically unfit. Why Arthur Maurice (Henry William) would want
to enlist in the 2nd WW under an assumed name is open to speculation.

Description: From 'The Queanbeyan Age', 29 July 1869:
MELANCHOLY FATAL ACCIDENT. A sad and extraordinary fatal accident occurred
on last Saturday at Spring Flat, Back Creek, Gundaroo, the remarkable feature of
the case being that a child five years old felled with a tomahawk a tree of
considerable dimensions which came down on a younger child, a sister three years
old, causing her instant death, and severely crushing the hand of another little
playmate. The details of the case are as follow: The deceased, Maria
McMullen, was the daughter of John McMullen, farmer, of Back Creek. On the
morning of the sad event Mrs McMullen was confined, and the deceased and her
brother were sent away to the care of a neighbour, a Mrs Read, who resides about
a quarter of a mile from the McMullens. At Mrs Read's residence, the two
children from McMullens were joined by three of Read's children, aged
respectively six, four, and two years, and the whole party began playing
together. Mrs Read, noticing a tomahawk in the hands of the elder
McMullen, a boy five years and three months old, took it from him; but soon
afterwards at his request gave it back to him for the purpose of cutting her
some firewood. Mrs Read's attention was next attracted by the screaming of
children, and on hastening out of doors she found, about a hundred yards from
her house, the deceased Maria McMullen lying under a fallen tree, the branches
of it pressing on her chest. Mrs Read lifted the branches sufficiently to
extricate the child, who merely moaned and then died. Mrs Read immediately
sent one of her own children to the father of deceased, she herself meanwhile
carrying the dead child and her own infant in the same direction, and met him on
the way and delivered up to him the deceased. It was not until then that
she noticed that one of her own children was severely hurt, and upon inquiry
found that the tree had caused this injury also. The right hand and fingers were
completely crushed, and the poor little thing, only four years old, was
suffering intensely. Dr Morton was sent for the same night, and hastening
to the locality dressed the wounds of the little sufferer. Being on the
spot, Dr Morton, in his capacity as coroner, on the forenoon of the following
day, held an inquest on view of the dead body of McMullen's child. On a
careful examination of the body, it is strange to relate, no external marks of
violence were found, no fracture of any of the ribs or other bones, and no marks
of bruises or contusions. The tree which on being cut down had caused the
death of the child was also examined by the jury, and was found to be 27 inches
in girth where cut through. After hearing the evidence, which was in
substance as above the jury returned a verdict — accidentally killed.

Description: From 'The Wagga Wagga Daily Advertiser', 6 March 1928:
The death occurred at Yass on Wednesday last of Mr John McMullen at the age of
88 years. For the greater part of his life Mr McMullen had enjoyed good
health. In the last six months, however, his health began to fail, and for
the concluding fortnight he was bedridden. He retained his faculties to
the last. A native of the County of Antrim, Ireland, he came to Australia
in 1860, when 20 years of age. He came through to Bungendore, and five
years later married Miss Bridget Byrne, daughter of the late Mr and Mrs Owen
Byrne, granddaughter of the late Mr Michael Dwyer, the famous Wicklow chief, and
sister of the late Mother Walburga of the Good Samaritan Order at Tempe.
Mrs McMullen died 17 years ago. There were eight children of the marriage,
and all survive except one, Jack, who was killed at Ypres in 1917. The
others are Messrs Patrick and Owen McMullen (Wagga), Richard McMullen
(Carrathool), James McMullen (Goulburn), Mrs S Coulton (Wagga), Mrs A Williams
and Mrs A McKeig (Yass). Shortly after their marriage Mr and Mrs McMullen
settled in the Yass district, the husband following farming pursuits for many
years. The funeral took place in the Catholic portion of the Yass cemetery
on Thursday, the Rev Father O'Connor officiating at the grave.

Dwyer, known as the Wicklow Chief, who took a prominent part in the '98 movement
and to whose memory a costly monument, by public subscription now stands in the
Waverley cemetery, to where the body had been removed from Devonshire-street on
the resumption of that portion of the city. A surviving sister of deceased
is Sister Walberger, of Tempe Convent, near Sydney, who has twice occupied the
position of Rev Mother. Sister Walberger on hearing of the illness of her

Hi Ian
I recently joined the Monaro Pioneers website and I find it a vey interesting
and important source for people interested in their heritage and family history.
I personally have connections with some of the families listed in the website
(e.g. Britt, Crisp and Day).
The reason I am writing is that in the section on the descendants of James
Delany there is no reference to his grandson Athol James Delany. He was my
wife's step-grandfather and I knew him personally.
Athol was the son of James Thomas Delany and Mary Ruby Pratt and the brother of
Nerridah Delany. He was born on 23 June 1919 and died in Merimbula on 22
December 1985 and is buried in the Cooma cemetery.
For the completeness and integrity of the Monaro Pioneers website Athol should
be included in the Delany family history.
