children with the same mother in the one year?
Secondly he married an Elizabeth Graham. His affair with the Ward girl caused
quite a scandal in the colony. His father was Mathew Kearns who was executed in
1813. He was Irish and came out in the Second Fleet on the Neptune.

QUEANBEYAN.
(From local papers.)
AN inquest was held on Saturday touching the death of a child named Harold
William Robertson, three-years-old, son of Mr. John Robertson.
Dr. Blackall deposed that death was due to shock from burns. Thomas Waters
deposed that he was a labourer, and was building a house; he was ironing the
roof on Thursday; he went to dinner at twelve o'clock taking his own child with
him, leaving Mr. Greenwood's and Mr.
Robertson's children there. Told the three children not to put any more on
the fire or touch the tools. When he came back the child was burnt.
There was no blaze in the fire place, merely a few hot cinders. Rebecca
Robertson, mother of the boy, deposed that she heard the little girl (about five
years old) screaming; ran out, and called to her son Montague to fetch a bag or
something; ran towards the child and saw that his clothes were in a blaze; put
the fire out as well as she could, until the boy came with a blanket, when she
stripped the boy and rolled the blanket round him, then carried him in, put
oiled rags on him, and sent for the doctor. John Robertson deposed that he
was the father of the deceased, who was three years old. Emily Walters
said that Bill (the deceased) fell down on a little lighted stick and got on
fire. A verdict of death from accidental burning was returned.

I know it was printed some time ago but I have just read the article "Back to

In it she mentions Rodney Rayner and his children. I lived, from memory,
diagonally opposite their original house and I still remember the girls taking
me to the preschool back around 1953/4.
Do any of the children still live in Nimmitabel ? We
lived in Stanton Street

Carmelite History: Carmelites in Australia
Transcript of Tom Fletcher,
New York 2003. (www.monaropioneers.com/dempsey.j.htm)
James Dempsey was
my g. g. g. g. g. grandfather.
He was transported to Sydney in 1802 on the "Atlas II" for his part in the
Vinegar Hill Rebellion in Ireland in 1798 (he was a member of the United
Irishmen in the Ballymanus Division and was implicated in the deaths of a number
of British soldiers- he was sentenced to death but this was to be repealed to
life servitude in the penal colony of NSW).
Upon arrival he was put to work in his trade of stonemasonry. The infant colony
had no infrastructure, barely any houses and no skilled labour. Dempsey oversaw
the construction of the first bridges over the tankstream (one of these bridges
is now deep below Australia Square) and built a number of houses and the
hospital.
His fortune and his reputation soon grew and he was held in high esteem by the
Governor and given a complete pardon in 1809. In the same year the only Roman
Catholic priest in the colony was expelled and NSW was to remain priestless
until 1820. Open catholic worship for this period was banned. An unconsumed Host
was left behind by the priest and Dempsey kept this at his house on Kent St. and
used it as a rallying point for the large catholic population.
Meetings at his house were common and on Sundays large crowds would spill out
onto the street. Dempsey organised a number of men into a group of
lay-Carmelites and they lived at his house. His house became a spiritual and
communal centre for the considerable disenfranchised Irish/catholic population.
He fell out of favour with the Governor, needless to say.
When a priest finally arrived in 1820 Dempsey was still filled with zealous zeal
and went about the construction of the first RC chapel in Australia. On an
undesireable piece of land at the outskirts of the town (the present-day site of
St. Mary's Cathedral) he started work. He was to sink his whole fortune into it
and it was to become his life's work- it sent him bankrupt and he went traveling
the world to raise funds for it. It was finally completed before his death in
1838. It burnt to the ground 27 years later and was replaced by the present
grand structure.

Description: DEATH OF OLD ARALUENITE
By the death of Mr. George Herbert, which occurred in Braidwood Hospital on
Saturday, the district loses one of its best-known and most respected citizens.
The deceased, who was born at Araluen 73 years ago, a son of the late Mr. G.
Herbert, followed labouring pursuits for many years. He was very well known in
and around the little mining village, where he had a host of friends. He married
a Miss Mary Ann Greenwood. Two sons, John George Reginald (Thirroul) and Albert
(Braidwood) survive, to whom we extend our sincere sympathy.
The funeral on Sunday was well attended, furnishing further evidence of the
respect in which the old man was held by all sections of the community. The
service was conducted by Rev. Canon Blanche, funeral arrangements being capably
carried out by Mrs. Morris.

footing and fell a distance of about fifteen feet, thereby injuring his neck and
causing a slight paralysis of the left arm. Dr. Davidson who is attending the
sufferer, has hopes of his coming round again shortly.

years, but did not take to his bed till last Friday. The cause of death was

Description: OBITUARY.
MRS CATHERINE CHUCHIN.
Still another of our grand old citizens has passed to that other bourne whence
no traveller returns,' In the person of Mrs Chuchin, sen. She had reached the
great age of 84 years, and was one of the Braidwood district's best known
residents. Though she did not actually associate herself with any of our public
institutions, she nevertheless always had a keen interest in the town's welfare
and helped in various ways the different appeals and functions. The old lady had
a heart of gold, her hospitality and generosity being known everywhere. She
practised Christianity in the way it was intended to be practised, and moreover
did it unostentatiously. Possessed of a loving and charming disposition it was
her constant aim to make those happy who surrounded her. She belonged to the old
school of honest and sturdy settlers, who were quite satisfied with the simple
things of life, and there was no one more highly respected in the Braidwood
district.
Born at Araluen, she was a daughter of the late Mr and Mrs George Herbert, of
Mudmelong. Her father came here from England in the very early days, while her
mother was a Miss Clement, of Moruya. Her father work ed on the goldfields at
Araluen and had several claims there in the 60's. The late Mrs. Chuchin was
married at Araluen, her husband, Mr. Thomas Chuchin predeceasing her 24 years
ago. Mr. Chuchin, too, followed mining pursuits, working for some time on the
claims. Leaving Araluen the couple came to Braidwood many years ago, opening a
shop next to the Royal Hotel. Later they went into another shop at the northern
end of Wallace Street in part of what is now known as the old 'Dispatch'
building. In fact, we believe portion of the name can still be discerned above
the door there. That was a very busy end of the town in those days. From there
they moved to a shop situated between Sherlock's chemist shop and Mrs.
Roberts' newsagency. After selling out they lived privately for a time, opposite
the old gaol and then took on a farm at Huggett's between Major's Creek and
Bendoura, where they grew fruit and vegetables. Coming back to Braidwood again
they started a market garden on Mr. Kennedy's property down the Bombay road,
later coming in to Braidwood to live.
The late Mrs. Chuchin possessed a remarkably retentive memory, and when in the
mood could relate many interesting narratives of the colourful mining days at
Araluen. She often spoke of the claim-jumping that went on, when often a miner
left his claim at night and came back next day to find some other man
industriously working it for him. The fights and brawls which occurred over this
law less action remained fresh in the old lady's memory. Then, too, she
reminiscently recalled the activities of the bushrangers, and their daring
exploits on the mountain and about Mudmelong. When only a young girl she said
she witnessed the outlaws waiting along the road near her home for the, pack
horse mail to and from Moruya. The outlaws frequently stuck it up and went
through it there and then, tearing letters open and extracting the valuable
contents, pelting papers any other mail in all directions.
Often the outlaws camped in the bills near by and thought nothing of helping
themselves to a good horse or two, particularly if it looked a bit fleet. The
old lady was a most interesting conversationalist indeed. The deceased reared a
family of 12, all but one of whom, Muriel (who died , when only two years of age
through a fall down some stairs) surviving, viz., Jack (Marrickville), Sis (Mrs.
Worsley. Sydney), Ellen (Mrs. Westman, Brisbane), William (Braidwood), Arthur
(Braidwood), Malina (Mrs. W. Whittaker, Braidwood), Rupert (Sydney), Percy
(Sydney), Cecil (Braidwood), Fred (Gundagai), and Doris (Mrs. Graham, Goulburn),
to whom we join with the rest of the district in expressing sincere sympathy.
The funeral took place at Braidwood on Monday, 4th August, Rev. Frs. McGilvray
and Byrne conducting the last sad rites. The attendance reflected the great
esteem and respect in which the old lady was held by all sections of the
community.

The problem is that Rupert Edward Chuchin at some stage in his life became known
as Rupert Edward Churchill (1895 - 1981). Similarly the two records for Rupert
Edward Chuchin (born 1895) and Rupert Edward Churchill (1895 - 1981) need to me

Hello David,
Have just had a look at the descendants of Joseph Ward Jnr who was my great
great grandfather. His daughter Emma married William Goodwin and their
son George Robert Goodwin was my grandfather.
The records show that all of their offspring are deceased. However, I can
assure you that my mother, Hazel Hope Goodwin is very much alive. She was
born 21 July 1923 at Bathurst and now lives in Brisbane. She was the
youngest in the family and moved to Brisbane during World War II to continue her
nursing training. She will be 93 this year and has 8 children, all living,
17 grandchildren (plus one deceased) and 16 great grandchildren with another one
due this month.
Thanks for all of your hard work
