ANNOUNCEMENT:
DID YOU KNOW?
The MP Database can be used to see all individuals buried in a particular cemetery. Just log in and choose the option "Cemeteries" and then search for the cemetery you're interested in. When you choose a cemetery to look at you will see a "Google" map of its location followed by all the tombstone images we have so far and then followed by a list of all the individuals currently listed as interred in that cemetery. A very nifty feature I am sure you will agree.
Unfortunately, getting this "feature" to be useful has involved weeks of work changing the "burial place" of thousands of entries (one by one) which had additional detail in the burial place like grave number and/or religious denomination. For example, where a person was previously shown as buried in Bombala Cemetery, NSW Grave 12, they are now shown as buried in Bombala Cemetery, NSW with a Burial Note showing Grave 12. Thus with all entries for a cemetery having just the one address, you can now see a complete list of everyone interred therein (everyone we know about that is).
The added benefit of this process has been the removal of thousands of unnecessary place addresses from the database. This process is ongoing as I work my way through the various cemeteries but I hope to have it complete by Christmas. The Monaro district is complete with Bega/Eden next, followed by the Queanbeyan/Braidwood/Yass districts.
I do hope you will try this option and let me know your thoughts including any changes needed or additions that should be made.
Best wishes for the festive season,
Ian Harvey

BEGA VALLEY WAR MEMORIALS

Subject: RE: Newsletter 2013 No.8
“The Bega Valley Genealogy Society is working on a project of researching all the men whose names are on the War Memorials throughout the Bega Valley Shire and who are shown as having died – either in battle, from wounds or illness. Some died in Australia through illness before they even departed our shore. Another handful returned home – some being medically unfit and, if they died prior to 1924, their names are also shown as having died from war related injuries.
When the research is complete, a book will be published on these 180 or so men and we are trying to make it a personal account of their lives as well as information on their time within the Forces.
We would dearly love to have a photo of as many of these men as possible to go with their small biographies. Finding photos of these men, preferably in uniform, but, if not, any photos at all, is quite a challenge in itself. I was wondering if any of your subscribers would have a photo of any of the servicemen connected to the Bega Valley who died in WW1. Also if anyone has letters that the soldiers wrote back home to their loved ones – this would also be of interest.
So far I have collected 65 photos – if anyone thinks they can assist, it would be best to email me to find out which photos we are still searching for. My email address is ra80122@bigpond.net.au.
There are a small number of men whom I haven’t been able to link up with a War Record and, if anyone can give any leads as to whom they might be – or a connection to our area, this would be extremely helpful.

Subject: Family History
Hi Ian
I was wondering if you could help me or provide some direction, as I am new to tracking family history.
I would like trace some information on my wife's family. She has an interesting family history as she grew up in Ireland with an Australian grandmother and I have managed to track some background information to date.
The information to date
My wife was born in Ireland but her Grandmother Annie Nolan was born in Sydney in 1891 and her Mother Mary Nolan was born in Bombala/Monaro in 1869. From what I can work out she was one of at least 3 children born in the Eden area to Patrick Nolan and Ellen O Farrell
The other know siblings were
John Joseph Nolan born 1876 Eden
Margaret Nolan born 1873 Eden
Mary Nolan moved to Ireland with her husband and children, however we presume her siblings John and Margaret Nolan stayed in Australia
My wife and I moved to Australia in 1986 from Ireland and would like to see if we can trace any of the off spring from John and Margaret Nolan from the Eden area
Hope this makes sense

Hi Joe,
Until your email, we were unaware of this family as we had not received any information about them. Unfortunately therefore, we have no information about any descendants than can assist you.

Dear Ian,
Thank you for your reply. I have attached information I have researched on my
great grandmother Honora Hayes so far. I am still working on research and will
keep you posted. Please feel free to share any more information that you may
have or query any that I have.
Kind regards, Marian Donnelly
Hi Marian,
Based on the facts you have provided and my own additional research, the
attached file is what I think is the (incomplete) family of Honora Hayes. I
hope this is helpful for you.
Regards, Ian
Hi Marian,
I have dug a bit deeper and now believe that Leslie and Dulcie Hayes were
children of Mary Emily Hayes, 1st child of Honora and most likely raised by
their Grandmother either before or after their mother died. New file attached.
Regards, Ian
Dear Ian,
Thank you so much for sending this information on to me.
I have just come back home from being away and while away drove through Michelago and saw the grave of Michael Hayes. This morning I was looking up an article on Trove and noticed he had many children and thought I must have had the wrong person. I have now joined up to Monaro Pioneers and have accessed the full picture. What a wealth of information has been compiled for which I am just so grateful.
I am just wondering though with so much family why there was so little written on his headstone even though the headstone looked like it was of very good quality.
I have been looking up the NSW births deaths and marriages site and I wondering why I don’t seem to be able to find many of the items that are cited in the information you have kindly sent me. Even when I seem to put in the exact dates etc. or even broader details.
Last week I mentioned that I went down to Rookwood cemetery to try to find Honora Hayes’s grave with no luck. I was wondering while walking around why there were so many very old graves in that area. I have now researched and found that she was buried in the same grave as her daughter Mary Emily who had died a very long time before Honora.
A correction. My mother Monica Mary Brown ( nee Monaghan) was born in 1918
Thank you once again
Kind regards, Marian Donnelly

Hi Ian,
I am sorry, I should have been more clear. I went into the New Data Base with Photo’s and then in the list on the left hand side there was Albums. I went into that and the last one listed was World War 1 Participants and I think it listed 69 People. When I scrolled down I saw Eric George Gatehouse No 14. I had not noticed the other section which listed WW1 and WW2. I still think it is amazing the work that you do, that goes into this site.

Hi Ian
Three items pertaining to my branch of Love family:
Marriage of Charles Milton Love to Elizabeth Martha Booth - Copy of Marriage Certificate attached.
Item (Marriage) from Queensland Historical BDM records - copy and pasted above.
Item (Death of Child) from Queensland Historical BDM - copy and pasted above.
If you look at his actual birth record in NSW historical records, I think he may have been a bit short of the mark where accuracy was concerned about his age at the time of his marriage. (Claimed he was 21 - and a bit vague about parents true names/occupations also.)
I'm not sure whether any of his family were aware of this/these events. I am now the oldest living member, as far as we know, of descendents of Percy John Love and Margaret Carmody. However, it appears I was not the first-born grandchild, as had previously been generally accepted.
Thank you for all the good work.

Hi there Ian
I am after any information you may be able to provide about living ancestors of
Jabez Southwell who was born in Queanbeyan in 1866 and died in Yass in 1931.
Am taking a 'stab in the dark' that you may have some information that may help
me locate some living family members of the gentleman.
I have been given a christening gown, marriage certificate (1871) and some
photos of family members with surnames Chadwick (same as mine), Lanchester and
Southwell.
It's a bit ironic as I was born in Queanbeyan and lived in Canberra for 26 years
so know the area well.
Anyway, it would be nice to hear from you - even if you could just point me in
the right direction!

Hi Ian
I am
sending you information on the WARREN - MAYBERRY descendants. As with all family
trees there may be errors, if you find an error or want to query something
please email me I would appreciate the feed back.
When I first started reseaching, some thirty years ago, I was a bit lax on
recording source information, I had no idea of the hugh amount of "bits &
pieces" I would gather, nor the large number of branches there are when tracing
two seperate lines, mine & my husband's.
My information on the Warren started with hand written trees (decendants charts)
from several decendants I corresponded with some 20 yrs ago. I try to check &
confirm all information I am given & now record all my sources, which include
NSW BDM indexes (plus some certificates), Cemetery records, Parish register
Index C/E Diocese of Canberra & Goulburn, WW1 & 2 service records, WW2 Nominal
roll, Newspaper Articles, Ryerson Index (death & funeral notices) etc...
Attached

(including my ID code for each family member, I have used that code to help
identify the family member that newpaper articles etc relate to. If you have a
problem understanding hoe the code works send me an email & I will send an
expanation.)
2. Warren - Mayberry newsparer articles etc

Hi Ian
I am still working on checking and updating my WARREN family information. At present I am researching in early digitalised newspapers.
About 15 years ago I was given the following information, which I think came from a Mayberry family member.
Henry THOMPSON (aka Heinrich SCHUTT) married Emma WARREN (with marriage & death dates)
I have checked & confirmed over the years much of the information I was give and what I now have is
Marriage - THOMPSON -WARREN
21 Aug 1888 (Parish Register Index C/E Diosese Goulburn & Canberra)
Death.
NSW BDM 1949-21276 Braidwood, Henry THOMPSON s/o Henry & Doris Christina
Buried - Braidwood Cemetery
Henry THOMPSON d. 22 Sep 1949 (unknown)
Emma THOMPSON d. 17 Aug 1953 (C/E)
Birth.
VIC BDM 1863-22869 SAND, Heinrich SCHUTT s/o Hans & Christina
I have just found an obituary for Henry THOMPSON d. 1949 which confirms him as the husband of Emma Warren.
In the Henry Hooper WARREN family tree in the Monaro Pioneers Emma's husband, Henry THOMPSON is linked the the family of William THOMPSON & Mary Jane SPICER, from the information I have found I do not think that is correct.
Attached are copies of THOMPSON newspaper obituaries.
I have gathered quite a few newspaper articles on the Warren family which I am happy to send to you if you would like to have them for your records.

Thank you Irwin,
I cannot find a WW2 Nominal roll entry for Henry Archibald James Brayshaw but we do have a Henry Archibald John Brayshaw (b13/11/1918 Gundagai) in our database who served in the 3 AUST ARMY TANK Battalion, is this the person you're referring too?
The other folks are listed in our database as WW2 service personnel. Thank you for the death details which we did not have.

Ian, My mistake – John is correct.

Subject: Lawless
Hi Ian,
I have a death certificate for Mabel Florence Lawless, once married to John Francis Lawless (Queanbeyan).
The death certificate contains the names of her 9 children (including Victor).
I’m not sure on the accuracy of my information as her father is married to Anges on your site and married to Louise Wildman on this certificate.
However there are inconsistencys on the certificate.
I’ve been looking on the roots web site to try and make sense of the information.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated
Cheers, Bradley Lawless
Hi Bradley,
I would suggest the Death Certificate is more accurate than just relying on the bdm index. I have found a Mabel F. Johnson born to Clarence F. Johnson and Louisa J. Wildman in 1897 in Sydney, does this DOB correspond with the age shown on the DC?
Would it be possible to have a copy of the DC so that I can extract the names of the other children please?
Regards, Ian
Thanks Bradley,

I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Hi Ian,
Having just read the latest Newsletter it saddens me to ‘hear’ the ‘tone’ in a couple of the letters of correspondence.
I take this opportunity to remind people that the likes of yourself (and the team) are NOT PAID and you all work many hours for the ‘love’ of the job. This site that you all work so hard on is there for ‘us’ to use/refer to and it is a FREE site.
I also wish to remind people that although I ‘know’ you try to verify as much as possible the information you receive, it is essentially, what you are given. Just like Birth Death & Marriage records they are only as TRUE/ACCURATE as the information supplied to the Government Departments, so IF the informant does not have the facts right neither will the certificate etc.
Please, fellow readers be a little more gracious for the good work done by the MP Team.
Keep up the good work or a lot of us would be lost, most of us appreciate you.
Lesley E
Thank you Lesley,
Regards, Ian

Subject: Britten & Haigh Families
David: I wonder if you could insert into the relevant Britten and Haigh sections of Monaro Pioneers website information about the availability of my book: Family Pastimes, Our Exiles to the Fatal Shore (2009). The families were connected initially by the marriage in 1841 of William Britten II and Elizabeth Haigh. In the case of Britten the reference might be placed near the photo of the two I have supplied.
Thanks, and congratulations on your great work.
William (Bill) Streat.
Hi Bill,
If you want to send me the text you want inserted I am sure we can accommodate your request.
Regards, Ian
Thanks Ian. Perhaps something like this would suffice:
An account of the early Britten/Haigh families [insert whichever is relevant] is outlined in the book, Family Pastimes, Our Exiles to the Fatal Shore (2009) by William Streat, available in both the National and State libraries or by purchase (tanyabill@optusnet.com.au).
Ian, if this is unsatisfactorily commercial then mention of its availability for sale can be eliminated from the text. All contributors to the book got it free but I can’t afford universal philanthropy.
Regards, Bill Streat.
Thanks Bill,
