Hello David
I would like to introduce myself. My name is Sue Zammit and I live in Gisborne, Victoria. My fathers mothers family were the Smith family from Braidwood NSW. The father was Joseph Smith Born in 1843 in Pinxton, Derbyshire England. He married in 1867 in New Zealand to Mary Jane Granger She was born in 1853 in Surrey, England. They went on to have 16 children. The moved to Braidwood New South Wales, Australia in 1891 and Mary Jane went on to have another3 children, one of which was my grandmother Ethel Dorothea Louisa Smith. One of the Smith girls married into the Willoughby family that was settled in Braidwood. That is where the reunion starts. The Willoughby reunion is to be held at the RSL Club in Braidwood on 26,27,28 Sept 2015 There is a Facebook page under Willoughby reunion. I was wondering if you may be able to put a notice on your web site adverting for any descendents of John Willoughby and Mary Ann Mills. She was a half cast aboriginal. I have loads of information on the whole family if your are interested. I can be contacted at email suzyq14@bigpond.com There should be a very healthy turnout as the Willoughby clan is huge.
Many thanks for your time, hope to hear back from you .
Kind regards Sue Zammit (Gisborne, Victoria)

Hello Ian My name is Jenny Penno & Im the granddaughter of Charles Harold Grant the youngest son of Henry Grant jr.
I noticed Charlie Grant has hardly any info He married Henrietta Vaughn in Sydney & had three children. Colin now deceased, Peter who is still luckily with us, and Hazel Dawn my mother who passed away in 2010.
He lived in Kingsford in Sydney & was greenskeeper for a park behind Kingsford junction. He apparently invented the stuff the use to mark basketball courts etc on grass.
Ill tell uncle Peter about this & hell be able to provide more information. Also about Bob (Robert) Grant the second youngest of henry jr.
This is all very exciting as I moved down here to Brogo a few years ago. I knew Granddad Charlie was born in Wyndam & have visited it a couple of times to see the cemetery but i had no idea how many Grants there are. Its lovely to end up down here close to Wyndam with so many distant relatives around. I went to a market day in Wyndam & went into the hall & almost yelled out Im a Grant just to see what happened.
Thanks for all your great work. Who are you a descendent of?
regards, Jenny.=
Hi Jenny,
Thank you for the information. If your Uncle Peter can provide any further information we would be most grateful. Photos are also most welcome.
Perhaps when you want to "advertise" you are a Grant, you may want to also add you're related to the Scottish Grants so as not to be confused with the Irish Grants.
My wife is a Grant, her GGrandfather was Robert Grant, Henry's older brother.

MCGREGOR

Subject: JOHN MCGREGOR [MP42728]
Hi Ian,
John McGregor is my Great x4 Grandfather. Currently the MP Webpage places his birth year c.1760 and without prior ancestral information.
I recently sourced information on Malcom McGregor [MP42731] being my Great x3 Grandfather; that records his father as John McGregor born 29th April 1770.
I am slightly sceptical as to its accuracy of this link but on face value I am unable to fault it. (My concern is; has the correct John McGregor been linked to the correct marriages & descendants)?
-----------------
The new information indicates:
John McGregor was born 29th April 1770 at Forteviot, Perth, Scotland. John married twice. He had one child with Mary McILREVIE. He had two children with Mary McMurchy (i.e. John & Malcolm).
John McGregor (the senior) died in 1856.
The information supplied on Malcolm from this source was:
Malcolm McGregor was born in Campbeltown Argyllshire Scotland on 15th March 1797 to John McGregor & Mary McMurchy. Malcolm married Isabella McILCHERE and had eight children. Malcolm passed away 5th July 1861 in Cooma NSW Australia. (This is consistent with MP Webpage)
The parent details from this source for John McGregor (the senior):
Alexander McGregor (Born Scotland c.1738) and was to marry Katrine Lindsay (Born Scotland c.1743) on the 26th December 1768 in Forteviot, Perthshire Scotland. They had three children all born in Forteviot.
John McGregor, born 29th April 1770 and died 1856 (as above)
Mary McGregor born 12th May 1771 was to marry Henry Deas 3rd February 1799 at Arngask. Died & was buried 20th November 1838 at Arngask.
Jean McGregor born 5th June 1774 further information unknown
Alexander McGregor died 30th May 1814 in Arngask. The details of Katrines death are not stated.
---------------------------
Unfortunately at that point I lost the connection to the relevant webpage & have since been unable to find it to review.
However if anyone is currently researching the McGregor name or have updated primary documentation - they may be able to confirm or discount the above information principally - that our John McGregor was born in 1770 and his parents were Alexander & Katrine!
Thank you, Peter Willis

Hello David
Is Monaro Pioneers being removed permanently from Rootsweb?
Regards, Sue Lopes
Hi Sue,
Yes the Monaro Pioneers database has been removed from Rootsweb for the time being. Given that it was a limited subset of the real database available on the MP website it seemed superfluous to continue to maintain that version. Besides, it was only updated monthly whereas the database on our website is updated daily.

Excellent

Description: Hi, David and 2nd wife Wilhelmina went to Clermont Qld in late 1890's. Things didn't go so well and David disappeared off the SS Julia Percy in November 1899. He left a note in his bag in his cabin.
We think he found out that Wilhelmina had conned him and he had made a fool of himself regarding her.
You have Wilhelmina marrying in WA in 1931 - not so. She went back to Sydney and married Patrick Coleman about 1904. That marriage didn't last as Patrick shot through and died in Lancaster. Wilhelmina had a couple
of fraud issues as she had money problems. She put the 2
oldest boys into an orphanage and kept the youngest boy and only girl with her. One of the boys (Allan)accidentally shot a man in 1913 and was sentenced to death but this was commuted. Wilhelmina changed the spelling to "Mayne" and their Christian names slightly. When her daughter Olive died her mother on death cert was named as Jane Elizabeth Taylor. Later Jane Mayne/Main popped up on the electoral roll in NSW with one son Edwin and Roland Allan (Allan). Jane died in 1941 in Sydney. When I tracked down a grandson of hers his first question was "who is Wilhelmina?" David's eldest kids never liked or trusted her and tried to find out info about her but never could. Her father was Robert Taylor a brick maker. A couple of her brothers were also and in the Dubbo area. I have info on deaths and marriages of the children of David and Elizaeth Gorman if you would like it. If you can find out anything about the Cluss part of Wilhelmina I would love to hear it - she apparently turned up at David's with at least one child but it is unknown what happened to it/them.

Hi Ian
I noticed on the Index that Alma Andrew is shown as buried at the Mt Gravatt
Cemetery. I hope I did not mislead you with the information I sent.
Alma's husband, Thomas Richard Andrew, is buried at Mt Gravatt. Alma died in
Sydney and her ashes were sent to Albany Creek in Brisbane (not Mt Gravatt). I
hope that helps.
Would you be able to advise where I might get more information on Melon Dan
Grant (in addition to that already shown in the Index)?
Kindly yours, Rick Andrew
Hi Rick,
Thanks for letting me know, I will amend our records.
I am not sure what additional information you are seeking for Melon Dan? Certainly a birth certificate would provide the exact date and place of his birth. There is also the Electoral roles that should show his residential address and occupation for each of the years he is listed, Ancestry.Com have these roles on-line if you are a member. The National Library via their Trove facility might turn up any newspaper references. Otherwise, you will need to seek out a close family connection to find any anecdotal stories.
Regards, Ian
Thanks
for this Ian. I appreciate this advice. Will let you know if I can find future
relevant information.

John was the sixth child of John Hutton (1835) and Ann Parry (1843).
The information listed here is taken from the death registration.
The boy only lived for five days and died on March 4, 1874. Because of this there may not be a birth registration. John died from Convulsions and had not received any medical attention in the five days.
The birthplace is listed as Canadian. This was a mining area, called Canadian Lead on the Cooyal Creek, in the Home Rule area, east of Gulgong.
John was buried in Gulgong, on March 5; his father acted as the Undertaker and Samuel Bishop and John Whiteway witnessed the burial.
John s (senior) occupation is listed as miner and he was the informant of his son s death. Ann Perry is listed as the mother. The registrar of the death was F.L. Osborn on March 23, 1874. This was the third child to die in infancy.

Thanks for all your wonderful work on the Monaro website. From the information found there I have discovered both that I have Jewish ancestry and also convict ancestry - both very interesting to learn!
I have noted in lots of my family listings that there are only initials used rather than whole names. I was just wondering if there is a reason for this or if it is possible to have this corrected:
E.F Shannon is Edith Fay (although always called Fay).
I am listed as P.D Gettens = Pamela (Pam) Dawn.
My husband is listed as U. Grover = David Frederick Grover We also have 3 children, as did my brother Brian - are you interested in this?
My mother's sisters are listed as B and E Shannon. They were Barbara Shannon
(dead) and Ruth Shannon (living).
Thanks again for your wonderful work!
Regards, Pam
Hi Pam,
Thanks for the kind words.
For privacy reasons, our system only displays surname and initials and no other detail for anyone still living even though we may have quite a lot of information on those individuals in the database.
We do have full name and dob for the people you mention (except for you and your husband of course)
I am happy to add the information on your children and your brother's children to the database but of course the same rule will apply, if you wish to provide same. Any additional detail you can supply would be much appreciated.

How do I access the genealogy on the Monaro Pioneers website, not having any luck although I used to. Would like to contribute. I think Simon Baker was contributing but I cannot get him on his Orangetoast email address anymore although we had long email conversations - I would like to connect with him again too.
Thanks, Jan Visinko, Blue Mountains NSW
Hi Jan,
All the genealogy information we have is contained in our database which is on our website and available to search for free.
To access it, just select the "Search the database" link on our home page. The first time you do use it you will need to register a userid and password of your choosing to be used from then on to login to database. The process is online and quite simple.
Unfortunately if contributors do not notify us of any email address changes, there is little we can do about it.

Hullo Ian,
I will be travelling through the Monaro area next week & hope you may be able to help me.
Among my ancestors I have an ex convict, George Waltham; around 1840/2, he lists himself as an overseer for Thomas Willmot, at Nimatta Bell at Moniera. Thomas Willmot`s usual address was at Bowral/Berrima.
By any chance do you have any idea, as to the whereabouts of Thomas Willmot`s property? I have not been able to track anything down. I do realise that information for this early time may be very scarce. I do enjoy your Web site, it is a mighty job, you & your volunteers are to be commended.
I do have a copy of George Waltham`s Will, 1843, it was not registered, but was made out in the correct manner, with witnesses & executers. Georges death is not registered either, but we think he must have died around this time. Thomas Willmot & Charles Throsby were the Executors.
Many thanks, Carmel Carroll
Hi Carmel,
We have no information of any property owned or leased by a Thomas Willmot. However, there was a property in the name of Charles Throsby. You can see the detail we have at http://www.monaropioneers.com/runs.htm
I suggest you contact the Bombala Historical Society to see if their local knowledge can be of more help.
Regards, Ian
Hullo Ian, many thanks for your response, this is of great interest also, but will have to be at a later date.
The 3 children of George Waltham would have been aged 10 to 13i sh when he died. The 2 boys turned up 10 years later in Moama, & had been a puzzle as to how & why. Recently we discovered that Charles Throsby & another fellow drove stock from the Berrima area, to Moira Station north of Moama in the 1840`s.
We are surmising Charles possibly took the lads with him, these boys had inherited land in Liverpool & breeding mares, Charles being their guardian. Thomas Waltham at age 27, paid 3.5 thousand pounds for the Inn in Moama. He is on your newspaper database, mentioned in the obit of Mr Maiden.
Ian , many thanks for your interest, Carmel Carroll

OBITUARY
Mrs. A. J. Brownlie
As previously briefly mentioned, the death occurred in the Western Suburbs Hospital, Sydney, on 12th August, of Mrs. Amelia Jane Brownlie, a well known and respected Bombala resident after a long illness. The late Mrs. Brownlie was 73 years of age and had lived in the district practically all her life. She spent her early life in the Rockton locality, being a member of the Rixon family.
Her husband, the late Mr. James Brownlie, who predeceased her some twenty years ago, acquired a grazing property at Rosemeath, near Bombala, where they lived for many years. Eventually she made her home in town. She was the mother of a family of five sons and seven
daughters- Les, Pat, Bruce, Keith and Kevin, Ethel (Mrs. Berry, Lakemba), Elsie (Mrs. J. Bicket, Bombala), Alice (Mrs. Stone, Bankstown), Clare (Mrs. Olive, Caringbah), Jean (Mrs. Alcorn, Auburn), Doll and Gladys-all of whom survive and have the sympathy of district friends. An unassuming kindly woman, with keen home and garden interests, she was held in high regard amongst her friends. Her remains were interred in the Church of England portion of the Rookwood cemetery.

Have Found the probable location of Patrick Macdonalds farm (Jingera)
his daughter was the Alice Macdonald who married John Thomas Keevil, later known as Thomas John Sutherland (see the information I supplied previously). This has answered a lot of Questions to which I needed answers before finishing off the manuscript of the history of Thomas John Sutherland tentatively called The Bushrangers Apprentice. I would appreciate any info on the Jingera myths and legends that might help colour the story, I already know of the story that James Vennel may have been one of the unidentified members of the Clarke gang on the Araluen gold coach job and the additional story that John Thomas Keevil was a cockatoo for the same job. If you have the parish map for that time could you give me the reference so that I might locate a copy. Thomas John Sutherlands farm was just down the road between Anembo and Jerangle. Hope this might fill out one of your historical holes.

Hi Ian,
I am a new member of the website. I have some info about one of the many early Kelly families around Ironmungy.
Currently the Monaro Pioneers web site indicates info for the husband of Roseanna Murphy as William C Kelly . I have death birth and marriage certificates that seem to indicate the info is incorrect. My info indicates William John Kelly born Ryde 17 May 1838 and died 15 Sept 1925. (NSW 1925/13270 attached) is Roseannas correct husband. His death cert shows Rosanna and all the children as well as 2 later wives after she died.
I also have other info on the family.
1. I am confident Catherine Kelly, William Js daughter (my great grandmother) died 1930 Sydney and
2. I believe there is a good chance William J may possibly be a nephew of Mary Anne Rolfe (Kelly) , Joseph Rolfes wife, hence William J working on the Rolfe station in the 1860s and possibly dying on a Rolfe property at Liverpool in 1925.
Some of this info has been cross checked with Cheryl May and Jan Wise if you have contact with them in relation to the Seears family, one of whom married Bridget Kelly (Catherines sister).
I am interested to get any other info and share what I think I have found.

Hi,

In the first line of the entry for Ada Jane Tozer in the Thomas Tozer Pioneer Entry below, I stated that Ada Jane Tozer was, according to anecdotal family history, raised with her sisters Eleanor and Georgina, by her grandparents Austen and Ellen Tritten after their mother Mary Ann died in 1891.
Since the said grandparents had died Austen Tritten (sometimes
Tritton) on 12 August 1874 and Ellen on 22 January 1887 by the time ADA Jane s mother died on 23 September 1891, she and Austen can t have raised the three girls. Accordingly, can you please delete the first line/sentence in the Other Events entry for Ada Jane. At this time, the rest of the entry remains correct. If I get to the bottom of who raised who and when with the three girls and it is based on more reliable information, I will let you know.

They are both from the Snowy River Shire's Memorial Book to the men from the Shire who were killed in the Boer, 1st and 2nd World Wars. Your site has a photo of Negus Brown in WW1 album which, in the Shire album is shown as James Cecil Oliver. Are you able to shed any light on the problem?

Hi Rosemary,
The AWM shows the same image for Negus Brown as we do .
Perhaps the photos were accidentally transcribed in the memorial book you have?

Dear Ian,
It would seem as if that is the case. The Snowy River Shire's Memorial Book was commissioned in the early 1960s and I suspect that either the man who collected all the photos and information made a mistake or the publishers did. Either way, it clearly wasn't proof read very well (if at all) and it has taken 52 years for anyone to spot the mistake!!
