Description: MR. T. M. CHALKER
Word has been received of the death of Mr. Thomas Michael ("Father") Chalker, of
Wombeyan Caves in his 80th year. He had been in poor health for some years, and
had spent a great deal of his time in St. John of God Hospital, Goulburn. He is
survived by one son, Patrick, of Taralga. The deceased was a son of the late
John Chalker, who was the pioneer settler at the Caves and Taralga, and the
deceased was the last member of the original family. He was well and widely
known over a great part of the State by tourists, scientists and visitors to the
caves.
A man of quiet and unobtrusive demeanour, he made the caves his special study,
and when scientists came along he was able to do much to help them in their
investigations. During all the time he was care taker at the caves he never had
an accident and was a storehouse of knowledge for sightseers. He was
scrupulously accurate in his duties and exercised the utmost vigilance in his
lifetime of care of the caves. For nearly a generation he was in charge of the
accommodation house for visitors, and everyone was sure of a hearty welcome, and
the culinary department at the Caves House was of the highest order.
He was an active member of the Goulburn Highland Society and until recently was
invariably present with his bagpipes at the annual carnival. He never lost an
opportunity of giving his services to local events for charity or of a sporting
character. The funeral will take place tomorrow and the remains will be interred
at the Catholic cemetery, Stonequarry.
His wife, who was Miss M. Kelly, of Taralga, and one son, Bob, predeceased him.
There is a very large number of descendants of the original Chalker family
living all over the Taralga district. The father of the deceased was the
recipient of a sword presented by the Government for his capture of Lynch, the
notorious bushranger.

her mother Eliza Jane worked as a servant. Eliza Jane did not disclose the
father's name for fear she would lose her position if the man's wife (her

noting that Emma did not take on the name of her stepfather which refutes
various family members' claims he was the father. The information re Emma's
father's identity was passed on to my by my grandmother, Emma Jane's daughter
Annie Ellen Grace Warburton (Randall).

Hello Ian, I can add a little to the history of William
James Knox for you. He was born in New Brunswick Canada in 1829 and sailed for
Australia on the "Star of the East" which landed in Sydney in 1853 where he
jumped ship and with a bounty of 5 pounds on his head he headed for the gold
fields. He later met Elizabeth Chapman and they married at St Phillips Anglican
Church in 1859 and settled in Moruya. His father was George Knox and his mother
Margaret Marsden McKee both of Kilkeel, County Down Ireland.
Of his children, George John Knox my Grandfather did die
at Bundeena in 1960 and is buried in Woronora Cemetery NSW, I don't know when
Emily Knox/Venner died but I do know that Mary Knox/Oliver died at Wallsend NSW
in 1927.
Richard Mepstead, 1804-1881,( parents Richard born c1777
and Amy Ann whom he married c1800) and his brother John were both convicted of
burglary and sentenced to 14 years transportation to Australia arriving on the
Mellish in 1829. He finished his sentence in Broulee NSW and became the Publican
of the Plough Inn there.
Both he and Harriett Horton lived in King St in Maidstone
Kent England and in 1839 she married my G/G/Grandfather Job Coppin, they
immediately sailed for New Zealand as immigrants on the "Auroura' Arriving
at Port Nicholson in January 1840. It is thought that Job worked on the whaling
ships but there is no proof and in 1850 he vanished leaving Harriett with three
children under ten. Hannah born c1843, John born c1887 and Martha my
g/grandmother born c1850. This gutsy lady somehow got to Broulee NSW with the
children arriving here 1851? and went straight to Richard Mepstead. His wife had
just died leaving him with a small boy, Richard Junior, and as you know he and
Harriett married 1852 and had three more children together. Catherine Dunn is
buried at Glenduart Cemetery Moruya.
There is a lot more to be said about both families but I
have confined myself with filling in the few gaps I saw in your directory and I
hope you can understand what I have written. This information has been checked
many times by many people but feel free to check on anything. I did notice that
you have no Coppins on your register and as you know there are many families of
that name in Moruya. Please email if I can help you in any way.

Obituary DEATH OF MR. ELIJAH AYLIFFE.
At 11.15 a.m. on Sunday the death occurred of Mr. Elijah Jennington Ayliffe, a
very old resident of Goulburn who had been for the past two years living in
retirement at "Lagnicourt," Lagoon-street. The deceased was 67 years of age, and
a native of Redfern, Sydney. When only nine years of age he came with his
parents to this city, the family travelling on one of the first passenger trains
to run here from the metropolis. Old inhabitants of this city will recall the
manner in which the deceased's father, Mr. William Ayliffe, met his death during
the 1870 flood. Whilst endeavouring to signal an incoming train the late Mr.
Ayliffe, senior, was drowned near Conolly's flour mill.
Shortly after this the late Mr. Elijah Ayliffe, who was then only a small boy,
joined the staff of Gllespie's old boot factory as an apprentice. After serving
his apprenticeship he transferred to Baxter's factory, where he quickly rose to
the rank of foreman. Mr. Ayliffe was at Baxter's for about 20 years. He was
afterwards a traveller for 'Beale pianos, a postal assistant, and for a time
assisting Mr. F. J. Clancy, a former sheriffs officer. About two years ago he
resigned from the position of postman owing to ill-health. The deceased was a
familiar figure in Goulburn. He made many friends, and always had a cheery word
for every one. He was well acquainted with the early history of this city. Being
a humourist, he always looked on the bright side of everything, and the
anecdotes he used to delight in telling about men and events of the past were
full of interest, while many were most amusing as well. For many years he had
been treasurer of the local Protestant Alliance Friendly Society, and at the
time of his decease was Past Master. Death was due to heart trouble, and he had
only been seriously ill for a fortnight.
Mr. Ayliffe leaves a wife and eight children, 25 grandchildren, and one
great-grandchild. The daughters are-Mrs. F. Baxter (Goulburn), Mrs. W. Roots
(Goulburn), Miss Ethel Ayliffe (at home), Mrs. B. Matthews (Goulburn), and Mrs.
S. Hobbs (Goulburn). The sons are-Messrs. Joe (Queanbeyan), Arthur (Goulburn),
and Selby (Goulburn). Besides their own Mr and Mrs. Ayllffe reared three adopted
children. His sister, Mrs. J. W. Wright, of Goulburn, is now the only surviving
member of a family of 14 children.

Description: Hi Ian,
Firstly thanks for a great resource, and apologies for this long document.
I am researching a particular story in my family line, and have come across
several discrepancies that I hope some of the many other people looking in this
family may already have more details about, and are willing to share, before I
embark on more expensive research. It is all very curious and interesting!
The family is that of Benjamin Allen 1819-1892 MP 37024 married to Ann Jane
Waite 1824-1861 Another Benjamin Allen married an Ann
(Kukkeridge/Muggeridge) in Sydney about the same time and many of the family
trees seem to include children of this marriage in our tree - particularly on
Ancestry.
On your database nine children are listed. In their son's obituary,
Benjamin Henry Allen 1848-1935, it is stated that .there were four sons and four
daughters in the family, Mr B H Allen being the last surviving member..
On John Allen's BMD his father is recorded as James. Does he really belong
in our family?
William Allen, born in 1859, is recorded on the tree as Charles William and was
baptised 11/3/1860 in St Matthias'. Nothing much seems to be known about
him. His mother, Ann, died in 1861 after . a long illness of three
years... is it likely that she would have had another child during this long
illness? Does anyone know what that illness was?
However, in a Trove article 6 March 1875, it says .. The following conditional
purchases were made at the Bombala Land Office on Thursday 25th February -
parish of Currowong: Benjamin Allen, 320 acres, Josiah John Allen, 320
acres, Benjamin Henry Allen, 40 acres and William Allen 120 acres... Neither
John nor Henry Thomas are included on this list.
Frances Elizabeth Allen, 1854-1922 also presents problems. She is listed
in a transcription of the All Saints church records as being baptised in 1851,
three years before her BMD registration. As registrations were usually
taken from church records it would seem her BMD date of birth is incorrect.
It is possible that there were two children named Frances Elizabeth and the
first child died, although there are no records to support this. It also
appears that she never married, yet there are children accredited to her.
Is there a family story here?
Lastly, all of this relates to the point of my research, which is Ann Frances
Allen, 1857-1932. She was my gg grandmother. The brief version of
the family story is that she always believed she was adopted, and felt that she
perhaps had some indigenous background. None of my research indicates that
this is the case, but the story must have some basis in fact. Little Ann's
mother died when she was only three or four, and presumably was ill most of that
time. After HEAPS of research I suspect that it is more likely that Ann
did get a 'new' mother because her father Benjamin, like so many before him,
married again. There is no evidence to support this in other family trees,
but I have found a marriage relating to a Benjamin Allen and Alice Riley/Reilly
nee Foxton in 1861 after the death of Ann Jane Waite. I can't determine if
this Benjamin was ours. This Alice died just six years later in 1867.
Is it only coincidence that Anne Frances called my grandmother Alice?
It would be really exciting if anyone else has family stories that can clarify
or confirm my theory.

Hello
I am currently in the process of tracing my family tree.
On searching for my Great Grandfathers family, I came across your reference in
the Monaro Pioneers.
I believe there is an error with the indexes used, having received official
documents here in NZ.
My great grandfather was Lawrence Herbert Bauer, born 1893, Bega, Australia,
died 26.10.1956 Whangarei New Zealand. He married, Lillian Mary Amelia
McClintock nee Dudley in 1932 in Whangarei, New Zealand. His parents are listed
as Elizabeth Linger and Carl Bauer.
His sister, Mary Callaway nee Bauer is listed on his NZ Army record.
She had come to NZ with her husband, Sydney Thomas Callaway, married in 1893 in
Sydney. He was a cricket player for AU and NZ. They had a son, Harold Callaway,
who enlisted in the NZ army, and later returned to AU.
If you have any further references to these records, I would appreciate any
information to are able to share with me to clarify.

Hi John,
I posted the following on the Monaro Pioneers Facebook page ....
"Hi Folks, we have this photo in our database identified as Archibald Ferguson,
husband of Emmiline Jane Jaggers but I have received an email disputing this.
Can anyone identify who the person is in this photo before I remove it from
Archibald's record?"
and I received the following confirmation that the photo we show as Archibald
Ferguson is correct.
"This photo is definitely of my grandfather Archibald Ferguson, who was the
first husband of Emaline Jane Jaggers. Emaline married another man after my
grandfathers death I only know his last name which was was "Rose". Archibald and
Emaline (Janie) were the parents of my mother Annie Lyla Ferguson who married
Frederick David Gough.. .I have a copy of this photo. Please contact me for

Hi
I've read on your web page as a result of my online searching for information
about this event that you say that this man was married on 23.3.1883 in Sydney.
I am just trying to confirm that the James Henry Griffin who was murdered on
28.2.1884 was my great grandfather however, he could not have been married on a
date in 1883 in Sydney as he was a prisoner in Yatala jail in Adelaide, not
released until 18.1.1884.
I am attaching my James Henry Griffins prison record which shows his date of
release.
Are you able to provide any further information to show which James Henry
Griffin was murdered on 28.2.1884?

Hi Sheryl,
The information we have is as supplied to us and we don't have any other
information that might link our James Henry Griffin to the man you detailed.

Hi Ian
I have previously drawn a blank in searching as to where this “Seymour Redbank”
land grant may have been located. Today I found the above reference to “Redbank”
along the Hawkesbury. Given that some of the earliest land grantees later
received grants around the Hawkesbury, I’m inclined to think that this may have
in fact been the (possible) location. No doubt it is recorded somewhere in the
archives, but it’s nice to have somewhere to start looking, and possibly have it
narrowed down somewhat.
If that proves correct, then I think that covers all the locations of each of
his land grants for my records.
Thanks for yours and David’s good work.
King regards, June

HAMMOND
Mr W. P.
Hammond was born on 7th December 1870 at Hobart Tasmania, where he spent his
early years. At the age of 19 he crossed over to the mainland and
was at Captain's Flat during the boom days in the nineties and took a leading
part in the sporting and civic activities of that town, being secretary of the
racing, cricket, and football clubs, a foundation member of the School of Arts
and secretary of the Progress Committee, the election for members of
same being conducted on the same basis as the Parliamentary elections, a full
day being set aside for the voting and a polling booth established with
returning officer, poll clerk, and scrutineers. From 1901 to 1921 he
resided at Cobargo on the South Coast of N.S.W., where
he was engaged in business and was identified with all the public bodies of that
town, being president of the cricket and football clubs, Chairman of the Park
Trust and a committee man of the A. P. and H. Society
and School of Arts. In 1902 he assisted in the formation of a branch of the
A.L.P., and was elected president, which office he held during the remaining of
his residence in Cobargo. He was also president of the first Electoral Council
for Eden- Monaro. He has been a resident of Canberra for nine years and is a
member of the local executive of the A.W.U. and Vice-President of the A.L.P.

OBITUARY
MR. W. P.
HAMMOND
The death of
William Pitt Hammond, of Ainslie, has removed one of the pioneers of the Labour
movement in Canberra and a well-known identity since the early construction days
of the National Capital.
The late Mr.
Hammond was born in Hobart in 1870 and when a young man participated in the
Western Australian gold rush in the early nineties.
After working
for some time in Western Australia, he returned to Captain's Flat, which was
then experiencing the first signs of a gold boom and set up in business there.
He married in 1899 and later moved to Cobargo, where he took over the Post
Office Hotel. The deceased left Cobargo in 1921 and arrived in Canberra early in
1922. He became a clerk to the late Jerry Dillon, foreman of the sewer
construction gang, and one of the most dynamic men the capital has known. He
transferred in later years to the Parks and Gardens, retiring in 1940, although
during the war years he was employed as a reader at the Government
Printing-office.
He was a
foundation member of the A.L.P., which was formed in Canberra in 1927, and with
Mr. S. J. Blumenthal and Mr. A. E. Gardiner was appointed to a special Disputes
Committee by the then Minister for Interior (Arthur Blakely).
The late Mr.
Hammond nominated for the first Advisory Council in 1930 as an A.L.P. candidate,
but was unsuccessful.
He was one of
the staunch men of the industrial movement in Can- berra and fought
tirelessly for better conditions for workers. We lost a good fighter in the late
Mr. Ham- mond, said the secretary of the A.C.T. Trades and Labour
Council (Mr. S. J. Blumenthal) yesterday.
Mr. Blumenthal
added that when the deceased became interested in a case, he worked so
tirelessly that he often forgot his own well-being.
The deceased
is survived by a widow, Mrs. Catherine Hammond, a daughter Jessie
(Mrs. Roberts), and four sons, Pat, Jack, Joe and Fred. Two of his sons, Frank
and Charles, pre-deceased him.

SAD DEATH OF A LITTLE GIRL.
READERS will sympathise with Mr. and Mrs.
A. DeSmet, of Canberra, upon hearing the sad news of the death of their little
daughter Agnes, aged 7 years. The circumstances
surrounding the death are very sad indeed, and the benign manner in which the
residents of Canberra and surrounding districts took the treatment of this
pitiful case in hands only goes to prove the amount of sincere sympathy shown
towards the parents and relatives of a young girl cut off so early in life. It
transpires that the deceased about four months ago was afflicted, by
some unknown cause, with a paralytic stroke (somewhat similar to that of the
poor boy Marty, whose death was recently reported in this paper) and was
admitted to the local hospital. During her time in the hospital under the
diligent care of both medical officers Mr. and Mrs. J. White, of Canberra,
organised a subscription by which means some 16 pound 8/- were raised, and an
invalid's chair was purchased. About five weeks ago, however, the invalid was
discharged from the hospital but no recovery was imminent. On
Saturday last she contracted a cold, which developed bronchitis. This was the
immediate cause of her death, which took place
yesterday morning at 3 o'clock, though the end was greatly attributable to her
breathing being affected by the paralysis. The
funeral was to take place this afternoon at 8 o'clook. We hear that Mr and Mrs
White suggest donating the invalid's chair to the
local hospital.
