Monaro Pioneers Newsletter
2014 Number 1
ANNOUNCEMENT:
Hi Folks,
I have completed the addition to the database of all the birth registrations for 1913 for the Eden/Monaro region. In many cases this just meant adding the registration number as a source reference to already known individuals, but for the rest it meant adding individuals to new or existing families. Many of these new additions were also WW2 service personnel.
If you have not used the database for some time perhaps now is the time to have another look, you hopefully will discover some new information or perhaps provide us with more complete details.
During this process the database grew to exceed 330,000 names.
As you can see from the diminishing size of the newsletter, the volume of new material has definitely dropped away, does this mean the project is drawing to a close?
Regards, Ian

Hi Ian,
What a great website
I wonder if your organisation is able to help.
I am a researcher for the Fromelles Project, (please google it) looking for living connections to soldiers who died in WW1, for the purpose of finding a
DNA match to identify the soldiers.
For one of the soldiers, I am looking on the female line and have tracked the family down to Francis M Daniels who married Lily May Luxton in 1904 and
certainly had their family and died in the Batemans Bay - Moruya area. It has been a long search, coming down from an Irish girl Susan Simpson and her
sister Margaret who arrived in Sydney in the 1850s. (Susan is the direct ancestor of the soldier and it is Margaret who married Joseph Wright who
produced the line I am researching.)
the children of Francis Daniels and Lily Luxton married into the local families of the Batemans Bay area.:
Ellen Mary married Harry MAYLOR - I don't think they had any children, having looked at a death notice.
Frances Edna Luxton married Francis Rowland PATRECH
Lily May Rose married Edward EMERY
Jessie F married Alan James COLLINS
Ruby W m Charles Clement or Clements EVANS
What I need is assistance in finding their descendants, either someone to talk to who knows the family connections, or an actual descendant.
I imagine that your organisation may know the local families well enough to come up with some answers or advice. Most grateful for any help.
regards

Hi Marg,

Hi
I am writing to you about an entry in the newsletter in April 2013 from Paul Fergus about the Curtis family. He mentions a John Curtis, the son of John and Ann Curtis. He says first that John only had one name (John) – his full name is John Joseph. He then says that he found an entry at http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=monaropioneers&id=I197395) which states that John Joseph, the son of John and Ann died at Brisbane in 1890. He obtained the death certificate which states that he was born in South Wales. I believe this to be a misprint and it should be New South Wales. I have a very detailed history of John Joseph’s life from the time he left Sydney to go to Monaro, his two marriages, his life in Victoria and then Outback Queensland (where he became a drover) and later as the manager of one of John Costello’s properties near Rockhampton. The family was mentioned several times in the book “Kings in Grass Castles” and “The Life of John Costello”
Paul also says that the info was provided to the Register by his wife. This would not be possible since Margaret, his wife died in 1917 at the age of 93. I doubt if the register was around then.
If you are interested I can send you his history, however it is rather large , about 90 pages(which include a large number of newspaper articles).
He also says he has obtained info from Ken Eccleston which says he moved to Victoria about the same time as his brother and sister moved to Monaro. John only moved to Victoria (Diamond Creek in about 1870 after leasing/buying land at Diamond Creek in 1869. I suspect this was to allow his second wife, Margaret, to be close to her family who all lived in Victoria. They only stayed in Victoria until about 1875 when they moved to Outback Queensland. Apart from visits to Victoria and NSW he spent the rest of his life in Queensland.
All the info I have points to the fact that John Joseph is the son of John and Ann Moran. I have a newspaper article that mention that James Curtis was his brother.
Let me know if there is any more info I can give you
Regards, Mary Wilson
PS On the website http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=monaropioneers&id=I88143 there is a mistake in the entry for Ann Moran. It shows that she was born in County Neath Ireland. There is no such place. It should read County Meath
Hi Mary,
Thank you for the information, I will amend our database. The information we have on John Joseph Curtis and Margaret Louisa O'Doherty is somewhat limited and we have no information on his other wife at all. If you could provide the names, dates and places for his marriages and descendants it would be a great help.

Hi Ian,
I wish to congratulate you and the Monaro Pioneers Group on the wonderful work which you do. When I decided to trace my ancestors, I discovered your site on the internet and your geological data base made my task very easy. I was able to quickly trace my family line back to Joseph Ward, who was transported to Australia as a convict in 1802. I was easily able to trace other lines back and found that one of my ancestors was a first fleeter.
I have attached some transcriptions, which I recently purchased. Maybe they will be of use, if you don’t already have the information.
Keep up the good work,

Surprisingly many of these families from both trees lived in the same areas

CARBERRY

Hi Ian,
I hope you are able to give me some advice.
Both sides of my family- O’Reilly and Carberry settled in the Murrumbidgee region. Occasionally when searching for information on my Carberry relatives, the Monaro Pioneers Database crops up. In the past I have moved on as there are no ancestors listed in your index. Yesterday I strayed in via another portal, not sure how that happened. To my surprise I found dozens of Carberrys extending over several generation. It took me some time to find my way back today until I realised that I had came in via a RootsWebb portal.
This raises several questions:
1. The various Carberry listings indicate that they are from the Monaro Pioneer Database. If that is the case would I be able to access them directly if I registered for the Pioneers group?
2. If these names are part of your database is there a way I could make contact with the person(s) who added the names. Nicholas Carberry, our mutual ancestor will have been here 200yrs this May and this would be a propitious time to make contact.
3. Some of the entries have incomplete lists of offspring,which I would like to update, and two; Bridget Gerraghty and Edward Gerraghty give a birthplace Cork that is a long way from the place of usual residence given on Bridget’s transportation documents.
Thanks for any help you may be able to offer,
regards, Doug O’Reilly
Hi Douglas,
Yes we do have Nicholas Carberry who married Bridget Gerraghty (c1824 Appin) in our database along with descendants. Unfortunately we have no specific contact details for the information we have been supplied. The information we show on the Rootsweb site is a subset of our database and that site is used merely as "net" to catch people searching the web and hopefully redirect them to our website where more detailed information is available by using our database search facility. The database does have extensive information available on many families who lived in the areas adjacent to the recognised Eden/Monaro region.
To use the database search facility you need to register, a free and simple process. We use the Login mechanism as a security measure because our database does contain information on living individuals.
If you can add to the information we have or correct any errors we would be most grateful.

I was curious about this, as my understanding was that my Great grandfather worked and lived in the Breadalbane/ Goulburn area as a railway worker.
This is north of Lake George and beyond the electoral boundary description of Eden Monaro so…I was wondering if this meant that there are other Svanberg’s or perhaps they were buried in the area or alternatively there is a more loose description for the region….

Hi Ric,
Whilst the Project name is Monaro Pioneers, the database is really the Eden/Monaro Pioneers but does include information on individuals and families from beyond the recognised boundaries thereof. If only the pioneers had lived, married and bred within the boundaries it would have been more easily contained. We do add families from surrounding districts if there is a connection or if information is supplied to us. All the information we do have is currently available on our website, the rootsweb version is a subset and is merely a net to catch web trawlers and direct them to our site.

I have been looking thru’ the Monaro Pioneers Project, in particular, the pages relating to John and Eliza Cartwright (my great, great, great grand parents).
In the database there is listed a second child Anne E Cartwright b. NSW 1852. I feel fairly certain that this cannot be the child of this particular John and Eliza as they only arrived in NSW in 1853.
When I searched the NSW bdm’s I also noted that there is a Mary E b 1847 and a Sophia J b 1848 to parents John and Eliza so it seems there was another John and Eliza Cartwright already in NSW, who were probably the parents of the above mentioned Anne E b 1852.

MOORE
From: Janise Farrell
Sent: Thursday, 16 January 2014 12:03 AM
Subject: Apologies
Hello again,
I have been researching the children of Edward and Bridget Moore (amongst
others). My ancestor was the eldest son, William Moore (born 1846), the father
of Rachel Moore (1878 - 1951), who married William Shanley (1887 - 1950).
I have noticed some errors on the site. The date of death given for William
Moore is given as 28 August, 1912, but that was actually the date of his wife,
Dorcas Keeling's, death. The death notice for her in the Sydney Morning Herald
(31st August, 1912) mentions Dorcas as being his wife, but no mention is made of
his death.
Instead, William Moore died on July 7, 1917. There is a death notice for him in
the Bombala Times of 13 July, 1917. This corresponds with a later notice of
thanks from his son John Moore for expressions of sympathy in the Manaro Mercury
of 20 July, 1917. Most importantly, it corresponds to the death certificate for
a William Moore of Cooma in 1917.
The sticking point there is that his parents are listed as Lewis and Bridget.
The death certificate for William Moore states his father as 'Lewis', but I am
certain he is the William Moore of the family of Edward and Bridget Moore. A
newspaper report about the death of John Moore states him to be the father of
both John and George Henry Moore. Many of the Moore siblings lived around him at
Dry Plain and his land bordered the residence of Edward and Bridget at
Coolringdon.
The 1891 census lists those residing with him at Black Spring as 4 males and 4
females. (It was earlier in the year that daughter Annie was born) and the 1901
census lists there as being 4 males and 5 females (as Annie is now included).
There is a lot of evidence for the William Moore who died on 7 July, 1917 as
being 'our' William Moore, so I hope you will feel comfortable about changing
his date of death.
The other change relates to his brother, Edmund. Edmund was actually Edward in
all but his birth certificate. (His father's name was also incorrectly recorded
as Edmund on the birth certificate).
Edward Moore was born in 1848. He was a successful farmer and owned property
from Berridale, Dry Plain, Numeralla to Nimmitabel. This fact is mentioned in
his many death notices (some of which say he was 77 at his death, others say he
was 87). He was a prominent character as he was the president of the Monaro
shire in 1927 and served on many pastural committees. He married Mary Sheehy in
1886 and their son, Clarence Edward Moore, ran for the legislative assembly in
1938.
In addition to Edward's death certificate (of 1936) naming his parents as Edward
and Bridget Moore, he is named as a surviving brother in the death notice for
Annie Lynch (nee Moore) in the Manaro Mercury of July 20, 1928.
I'm certain that Edmund Moore is really Edward Moore and he and his descendants
seem to be missing from your site completely. Would you mind changing Edmund to
Edward?
Full details to be changed or included for both brothers.
William Moore: died 7 July, 1917 in Black Spring, near Dry Plain. NSW BDM
#11952/1917.
Edward Moore: born 1848, Cooma. NSW BDM #V18481508 66/1848.

Subject: Thomas Underhill
Mr. Harvey, I am Bob Underhill of the Underhill Society of America. An Australian by the name of Thomas Underhill sent me a copy of an article entitled "The Underhill Family by Jack Burgess" concerning Thomas Underhill c1845, Bega. He had joined the Underhill Society of America YDNA Project and very interestingly was a perfect match with one of our US immigrant lines. It will take research in the UK to find the link but at the moment he is somewhat unsure of his line within Australia. His grandfather was murdered when his father was only 12. His father then lived on the streets and knows little of his family other than Thomas seems to be a traditional family name. He believes that he must be descended of the Thomas Underhill that the article was written about. Before we can be looking for a link back in the UK I need to affirm who his immigrant ancestor in Australia was. Is there a genealogy coming forward to the present of the Thomas Underhill who came to Australia in 1830 that we might get access to? Thank you for any assistance that you can lend on this.
Hi Robert,
All the information we have is in our database, current generations are reluctant to be included for privacy reasons. However, this email will appear in our next newsletter and that might bring forth some useful contacts for you.
Regards, Ian
Thank you Ian. I registered on your site and see that you have an excellent database. I am getting all of the necessary base information that I need from my modern day Thomas and between your site and other sources expect we'll be able to figure out this guys line. Then the hard part begins, linking back in the UK his line and the American line that his YDNA matches.

Hi, Ian. I am the grand daughter and niece of three of the people named on your list of pioneers. My name is Wendy Garcia (nee Travers).
Arthur B Travers, Matilda Laura Travers (nee Clarke) and Thelma Florence May Griffiths (nee Travers). I don't know what is their connection to Eden Monaro.
From what I know about Arthur, he was born in 1875 in Northcote, Victoria and raised in Victoria. His mother was Matilda Travers (nee Webster), his father was Wilfred Travers.
Wilfred came alone to Sydney around 1877 leaving his wife and the very young Arthur and his other son Frank Wilfred. Wilfred left Melbourne to take up the position of Manager of the Sydney Omnibus Company, the position he also held in Melbourne. He never returned to Melbourne, dying in Sydney in 1893.
Arthur married Matilda Laura Clarke in Victoria in 1897 and they came to
Sydney in 1899. Thelma is one of their six children, my father is also.
I am researching my family and so would very much appreciate knowing what is the connection to Eden Monaro. I see the name Edward Dodds and he is my uncle who married Mattie Dodds (Ivy Matilda Travers), sister of Thelma but even Mattie isn't on your list. The Dodds family have owned orchards in Batlow for over a century. But that has nothing to do with Arthur or Thelma, other than their relationship to Mattie.
I hope this isn't too difficult to solve and if it does turn out Arthur has a connection, I should be able to give you some information about him.
Thanking you, Wendy Garcia.
Hi Wendy,
Thelma Florence May Travers married Ronald Jacob Griffiths whose Mother Lucy Ella Jacob was born in Goulburn. By recording the children of Lucy and her husband Lionel Griffiths and their respective spouses you get the connection. We try to record the parents of spouses where ever possible. We have no Edward Dodds in our system young enough to be the husband of Ivy Matilda Travers.

Hello, Ian,
I am interested in the PUTMAN name as it is closely tied to my family history.
I noticed that you had a record of Walter and Daisy Putman in the old ROOTSWEB database but they don't seem to be reflected in your new database.
Consequently I am curious as to whether there was a reason for leaving them out of the new database or if it was an oversight.
My next question is then to ask how I might be able to find out more about these two people and their history particularly if it involved the Eden Monaro region.
Thank you for any assistance.
Regards, Ken
Hi Ken,
There has been no change to our database, the Putman's are still in it. The connection being purely through Daisy's marriage to Wesley McPaul.

The Sydney Morning Herald (NSW : 1842 - 1954), Wednesday 2 January 1935, page 10 FIVE GENERATIONS.
Pioneer Family's Reunion.
Five generations of an old Australian family assembled at Robertson street Guildford yesterday.
Mrs Sophia Jane Teage who will be 98 in June is the daughter of a Monaro pioneer settler Mr James Martin who was born on a vessel as it was coming into Sydney.
Mrs Teage is in fairly good health and is able to take a walk with assistance. Her memory is fairly good. Until a few years ago she was able to drive a sulky.
Mrs Teage said she was born at Cathcart a small town north-east of Bombala where her father had taken up about 40 000 acres.
His employees were ticket of-leave men. Her family lived in bark huts and sometimes had to dig their way out through the snow there were occasional journeys to Sydney with cattle and the children were sometimes taken in a spring cart sleeping at night under the bullock waggons. When she was about
12 years old she was thrown off a horse and her skull was fractured and the mark of the in jury still remains. After attending school at Concord she went back to her mountain home. At 21 she married and came to live in Sydney. Sheep were then running on the present Hyde Park.
Mrs Teage said that her mother was 105 when she died. Her first husband was Mr F H Hill, an Englishman. She had 11 chidren, five of whom are alive, the eldest Mr Francis Henry Hill of Dulwich Hill being 72.
The others are Mrs Gilchrist of Parramatta, Mrs Margaret Dickson Mrs Herbert Hill and Mrs Littlejohn of Guildford. She was about
85 when she married a second time. Mr Teage being her first admirer.
And when she was 85 she could dance all night said her daughter Mrs Dickson.
Mrs Teage has 33 grandchildren, 50 great- grandchildren and one great-great-grand child. The five generations represented at the reunion were Mrs Teage, Mrs Margaret Dickson, her granddaughter Mrs Lilian Lafferty; her great-granddaughter Mrs Lilian Plummer and little Patricia Plummer.

"MISS LUCY W. HELMAN
There passed away on Tuesday last one of Braidwood's oldest and most respected residents in the person of Miss Lucy. Helman, at the age of 85 years. She had had a fall in her home on the previous Tuesday, and had been- taken to the Braidwood Hospital by the ambulance next day, where an X-ray showed that the old lady had broken a bone in her hip. Later pneumonia supervened, which caused her death. The deceased,' who had many friends in the district, was born in London, her parents being the late Mr. and Mrs. Walter Helman. Her father came to Australia, leaving his wife and baby daughter in London, Later Mrs. Helman, with her seven months-old baby, Lucy, accompanied by Mr.- Sanders Helman (her brother in law) set out for Australia in the famous old sailing vessel, 'John Lucy.' The trip, as can be imagined, was a long, exacting one. However, the par ty landed safely in Sydney, and later arrived in this' district, where Mr. Helman, attracted by the big gold rush, was working at Jembaicumbene and Araluen as^ a carpenter, making sluice-boxes. Those were hectic days in the Braidwood district. The remainder of the family was born at Jembaicumbene. . Mr. Helman died when his family was only young, but his widow survived until 1940. She practised as a maternity nurse for many years. The late Miss Lucy Helman was a quiet, reserved type, hospitable and generous, and one who never failed to do her neighbours or a friend in trouble a good turn. She was a dress maker, and her fine needlework was of the highest quality. Advancing years, however, compelled her retirement about 12 years ago. She had been living in the same house in Las celles-street for' over 43 years, having previously lived In Elrington Street in the house now owned by Mrs. Storer. She leaves two 'sisters to mourn their loss, Mrs. McKay (Lewisham) and Miss Bess (Braidwood). Two brothers, Jim and Charlie, and two sisters; Mrs. Warren and Mrs. Steve Fletcher, predeceased her. The funeral took place in Braidwood on Wednesday

Dear Ian,
I recently scanned in the start of my grandfather’s memoirs of his life, unfortunately this is all there is as Greg died in 1983 before he got any further.
My mother was Nancy Crawford, eldest daughter of Greg and Joan (nee Delany) so the families all go back some time in the Monaro. I found parts of it interesting on life in the early part of last century and thought you may be able to use aspects but will leave that to you to determine.

I am working with a death transcription as this is the only record I have.
In the Family Group sheet printed from the Monaro site it lists a son John and in my information I have no record of him, but I am not saying he didn’t exist. However I have a Margaret Born 1843 in Kiandra married Thomas Cunningham and died in Swan Reach Victoria. I also have a no name “Male Deceased Murphy”, but no record of the birth.
James death transcription lists and names 4 male and 2 female, including Margaret living but none deceased. On Catherine’s death Transcription children of marriage 4 males3 females living and I male deceased.
Can you help me solve this puzzle?
Also Ian I am having trouble finding the following towns or areas, can you help with the spelling or their location.
Billingara
Boloco
Coolamatong

Hi Phillip,
Thanks for the information, I have found Margaret Murphy, married to Thomas Cunningham in our database and connected the dots to her family.
The only other information we have is what you see in our database.
You can use the Places option on the first page of the database search facility to look for the places you nominate and see what map location has been established. You will probably find a lot of those names are property or station names rather than villages or hamlets.
This email will appear in our next newsletter and perhaps one or more of our readers can be of more help to you.
You could also contact the Cooma Historical Society who meet in the Cooma Library every Friday morning.

Hi Ian,
I am researching Elizabeth Rose Crisp born 1905 in Cooma and died 1962 in Penrith. She was married to Ernest Henry Quodling in Cooma in 1930. Ernest died in 1931. They had a son, William Henry Quodling who died at 6 months of age in 1931. Elizabeth remarried in 1933 to George Heath Hill in Cooma. They relocated to Ivanhoe, Victoria sometime after. They divorced in 1939. On Elizabeth’s death certificate it states that she had two children with George, John was 21 when his mother died and Jeanette was 15.
I am thinking that perhaps, John and Jeanette were not George’s children as they were both born after Elizabeth and George divorced. Elizabeth returned to the Cooma area after she separated from George (not sure of the exact year).
On her death certificate she was known as “Elizabeth Rose Hill”.
Elizabeth had another child whom she adopted out, my mother, who was born in 1943 in NSW (my mother’s details understandably were not on the death certificate).
I would like to know if you or anyone receiving your newsletter knows anything about Elizabeth and her children John and Jeanette as I can’t find any information about them and information regarding the circumstances of my mother’s adoption.
Congratulations on your very detailed website, it is a credit to you.
Warm regards, Alison Pedersen

All the information we have on Charles John Cadman is in our database.
Regards, Ian
Hi Ian
I have checked and double checked the statement that Charles John Cadman had no direct decendants. He was a part of the 2nd 22nd known as the Lark Force Stationed in Rabaul. He died of Malaria while escaping the Japanese on the 23rd of Feb 42.His grave is unknown as he was buried behind a local chiefs hut on the banks of a river. The family placed a plague at the foot of his mothers grave in the Corryong cemetary as a part of the family reunion a few years back. If I remember correctly this was in 2000. Along with this the family donated a painting to the Corryong hospital in memory of the Cadman familie's link with the area. In the local museum you will also find a copy of Thomas Cadman's family tree. You will also find the death notice for Charles John Cadman which appeared in the local paper in April of 1942.
Charles John Cadman was my father. I was born on the 23rd of March 1942. Dads date of death and my birth always had my grandmother confused as there is exactly one month between the two dates. A few years back I had the priviledge to march in his memory in Corryong in the ANZAC day March..
Melbourne Legacy put me through school and I stayed at Blamey house that was on Bourke road Kew opposite the deepdene Primary school. While in Melbourne I attended all services at the shrine of remembrance in dads memory though I never personally knew him. I was shocked to learn that he had left no decendants as it meant that I do not exist. Please if this is whats recorded on your data base as this is where I found the statement.
Cheers, John Cadman
Hi John,
