Description: Hi Ian
James Dennis was born in 1798 in Toseland, Huntingdon Shire, England. He
married Sarah Richardson on 22 February 1818. He died in Gundaroo, NSW in 1870.
James and Sarah had 8 sons and 4 daughters born in Hail Weston, Huntingdon
Shire, England:
Eliza was baptised on 11 April 1819. She married Charles Darby and migrated to
Australia with her family on the Wilson Kennedy in 1852. She died in Gundaroo,
NSW in 1871.
James 1820
Elizabeth baptised on 17 March 1822. Married John Hardwick and migrated to

The family firstly settled in Richmond, NSW where Elizabeth gave birth to George
in 1857 and William James in 1859. George died in 1857 and there was one other
son born who did not survive (this baby could have been born and died on the
voyage to Australia). Elizabeth gave birth to a daughter Henrietta after
separating from Charles.
William was brought up by his father Charles. Henrietta was brought up by
Elizabeth and her second husband.

Hi Ian,
Would you please be able to change the death date for William Tonge b 1861. The date shown in the database in Marrickville in 1936 is incorrect. He died 30 April 1925 at 111 Carey Street, Leichhardt and was buried in the C of E Section of the Rookwood Cemetery on 2nd May 1925. Also missing is his eldest son Charles. Can't find his birth record at the moment it is probably there but misspelt. He is mentioned as the eldest son in both his parents death notices.

Hi Kelli,

Hi Ian,

I am the great great granddaughter of one of the people listed on the site and I notice there was some incorrect information regarding my ancestor Margaret Ann Brown http://www.monaropioneers.com/TNG/getperson.php?personID=I258689&tree=MP
It mentions she married John Dixon however this is incorrect, it was her aunty Margaret Brown (sister of Patrick Brown, daughter of Thomas Golden Brown + Hannah Annie Nicholson - you don't have her listed however she was born 1859-1909) who married John Dixon. Margaret Ann Brown married John T Clegg in 1909. It is a common mistake we have found people have made, thought I'd start correcting it.
One question I have about Margaret Ann Brown is in relation to the name you have listed as her great grandmother on her paternal side, Coomee Nullanga http://www.monaropioneers.com/TNG/getperson.php?personID=I331318&tree=MP.

daughter of Sims Cuvington the man that was with Darwin on the Beagle. Their
marriage did not last long, Emmaline died in a sense tragically and then Samuel

Looking at the death of Mary Hannah Underhill in 1928 the index gives : 7185/128
"Father: John ; Mother : - Spence. Age 76". I think this makes Mary Hannah
Gleeson the first child born, abt 1852, to John Gleeson and Barbara Spence.
Their second child, Robert was baptised on 25 July 1855, the same day as his
cousins Robert and Jane Burnett (dob 25 May 1854 as already known). best regards

Can you tell me how you allow people to access the family tree via your website. I am trying to help the Wright family first fleeters to add their database to a webpage using Legacy
Many thanks for publishing the Venables convention in France 2016 it was a wonderful experience. Perhaps can send some photos for others to inpsire for next time?

Hi Ian,
Can you advise Cheryl with her query.
Thanks, David
Hi Cheryl,
Anyone can access the family tree information in our database by registering a username and password and using same to login and search for individuals/families.
I am not entirely sure what you're asking with the second part of your question but if you mean you want to upload a tree from Legacy to a specific website then the normal method is via a gedcom file exported from Legacy. That is assuming the website allows the importation of information that way.
If you mean you want to add information to our database, then the same applies except you send the information to me and I will do the necessary importation.

Description: SAD FATALITY NEAR BUNGONIA. BURNED TO DEATH. The Goulburn Coroner
(Mr. Harold O'Brien), hold an inquest on Tuesday touching the death at Yarralaw,
in the Bungonia district, of Mrs. Elizabeth Reader, wife of Mr. John Reader.
Deceased was 66 years of age, and was born at Roseville, in the Bungonia
district. She was a daughter of the late Mr. Muffett, a pioneer of the locality.
On Monday Mrs. Reader was sitting on a deck chair in front of a large open
fireplace. Mrs. Larkham, a married daughter, who lived at the house, saw her
mother sitting near the fire, and the old lady appeared to be all right. Mrs.
Larkham went to the kitchen, which is a few yards from the main building, and a
short time afterwards a four-year-old grand-daughter of the deceased raised an
alarm that her grandmother was in the fire. Mrs. Larkham rushed in, found that
her mother was partly lying in the fire, and pulled her out. A telephone message
was sent to Goulburn for a doctor, but the deceased had been so badly burned
that on the doctor's arrival she was beyond aid. Mrs. Reader died at about 8.30
on Monday evening. Dr. Buchanan's evidence at the inquest was that the back and
front of deceased's chest and her face and arms were a good deal burned, and
that death was the result of shock to the system; caused by the burns. The
Coroner found accordingly. It is presumed that the old lady was seized with a
fit or dozed off.

Description: Death of Constable Asbury. On Saturday night, 21st June, at 9
o'clock, the death occurred of Constable Thomas T. Asbury, at the age of 28
years, the cause being an attack of double pneumonia. The deceased was a
son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Sherd, of the Dudley Refreshment Rooms,
Gosford, and the circumstances surrounding his death are particularly pathetic.
Some few weeks previously his wife came on a visit to her parents at Gosford,
and on the 6th a little son was born. Being anxious as to the welfare of his
young wife, he also visited Gosford, where he contracted a severe cold, which
eventually developed into pneumonia. Dr. Paul was in attendance, and on the
Friday pronounced his case as critical, and advised that his relatives be
acquainted, as there was very little hope of his recovery. His parents, who
reside at Oak Swamp, in the Tamworth district, were communicated with, and
arrived on Saturday morning, only to find their son in a semi-conscious
condition. Later in the day he rallied and recognised them, but, sinking fast,
passed away as stated above. Constable Asbury, who was a fine stamp of
Australian, had been a member of the force for five years, and at the time of
his death was attached to Police Headquarters at Braidwood. The indifference of
his grief stricken wife's health is at present causing her relatives a deal of
anxiety, and to them all we offer our sincerest sympathy. The remains were
interred in the Point Frederick cemetery on the Sunday afternoon. Father Kelly,
who was constantly at the dying man's bedside, impressively conducted the burial
service, while Mr. R. H. Creighton had charge of the mortuary arrangements -Gosford

JANE STALKER
From:

Subject: Re Jane Stalker nee Smith
Hi Ian
I would like to share the info I have re Jane Stalker nee Smith. Jane was actually born in 1838 to Parents, Richard & Charlotte Smith. The census for 1841 has this family living in Wrangle, Lincolnshire, England.
In 1844 Richard, Charlotte and children, George 17, Stephen 16, Mary Ann 13, Elizabeth 10 and Jane aged 5 years arrived in NSW as assisted passengers aboard the "Briton". Jane's father, Richard was contracted to work for 6 months to John Mackay of Dungog as a brickmaker and labourer. Both George & Stephen were contracted to work for Henry Dangar. I come down the line from Stephen Smith, Jane's brother.
Janes mother's maiden name was Charlotte Powdrell/Powdrill/Powdrile (many different spellings on other documents to hand). However on Jane's and one of her sister's DC's she is listed as Charlotte Bee so we are still trying to work this out.
On the 1841 census there is a William Bee aged 12 who was also in the household when the census was taken. It is believed at this stage he may have been a nephew of Charlotte's.
Richard and Charlotte Smith were married in 1823 at Croft, Lincolnshire, but Charlotte had a son out of wedlock in 1822 approx. 5 months before her marriage to Richard. His name was William Powdrell/Powdrill and he is also in the household in the 1841 census. William aged 21 and his wife, Hannah aged 29 years were also on the ship "Briton". So it looks like all the family came together on the same ship..
I've managed to trace most of the family except Jane's parents Richard & Charlotte. They seem to have just vanished after stepping off the ship in 1844 and I don't know where else to look for them. The only clues I have is that Jane's other siblings all married in the late 1840's to mid 1850's around the Paterson /Dungog area and I now have Charlotte as witness on her granddaughter, Mary Jane Stalkers DC in Pitt Street, Sydney in 1857.
Charlotte was born c1800 and Richard c1802 both in Lincolnshire, England. All of Jane's siblings were baptised in Lincolnshire but I don't know about Jane as I haven't managed to find a baptism in this area for her as yet, so maybe she was born in London but as I've also found heaps of incorrect info on Death Certificates so I don't know if it was her birth place or not. I guess the informants on some documents just have a guess on some of the info they are unsure of at the time. I've often seen siblings as spouses and parents etc on some of BDM's.
I hope I have been able to give you some new info re Jane Stalker nee Smith for you website. I do have all BDM's for the above info as sources.
I also come down the line of John Pendergast Snr and his daughter, Bridget Reed/Reid/Riley nee Pendergast on my other side, it's amazing how these families are interrelated isn't it?

Dear Ian,
I have contributed information on the Jess Family which you have published.
Thank you. Now I would like to ask for help.
James and Catherine Jess (Lyons) had 8 children. Two died. The other six end up being bought up in the Bega area. Here they meet and marry, having many children.
My problem is that no matter how hard I look, I cannot find how the 6 children came to live in Bega, having been born in Hobart and Sydney.
As there is no record of either parent's death, plus the records of both parent's problem with alcohol, it seems likely that the children were removed from their parents' care and ended up in the Bega area. But how?
I wondered if any of the numerous decendants of the Bartleys, Shuback, Power, Thornton, Neilson, Lumsden, Weinert, Longmore, Head, Rootsey, Jess families, had any stories of how their relatives came to live in Bega, or any stories about James or Catherine's life and death.
I have records showing that James and Catherine obtained a Bounty from Government in aid of their means of Emigrating (from Cork Ireland in 1836).
I have records of their arrival in Tasmania, leaving in 1840 to move to Sydney, birth of all children born in Australia, marriages, death and children of same.
Records of Gaol times for Catherine, of Bankruptcy of James. The last record of Catherine is 1859. After that nothing. Catherine is in and out of Darlinghurst Gaol all through the 1850's.
I know this is a long winded question, but if you could find a way to put something into your next Newsletter I would be most grateful.
Thank you, Sue Henshall
Hi Sue,
Your email will be included in the next newsletter. I suggest you also put your questions on our Facebook page.

Hi Ian,
I’m conducting a research project into my great grandparents, Samuel and Ellen Kearney, former residents of Adaminaby. I have gleaned some information from your site in the early days of this project but since then I have amassed a considerable amount of information of their lives in the town, largely through Trove and the Lands Department.
What I’m looking for now is information regarding their time in Adaminaby/Seymour in from the early 1860’s to the late 1870’s. I have evidence that Sam was the Innkeeper of the Seymour and Empire Hotels. I don’t know if these were the same hotel with a name change or if there were two hotels in the town during this time. Sam also bought a block on the corner of Grave and Cooma Streets in 1875. He also had a store and the post office in Adaminaby during the time. Are you able to tell me where in Adaminaby these premises might have been. I have copies of Adaminaby town maps from the time but the blocks only show names on them but don’t indicate where the business premises were located.
A big ask but do you have any early photos of the town.
I would greatly appreciate any information at all you could give me.

Hi Gavin,
All the information we have is available on our website. I suggest you try the Cooma Historical Society for the detail you seek.

Description: The death of Anne Higgs - nee Cunningham
The death date you have for Anne Higgs is incorrect - 1872.
I have the death certificate (searching for my Ann!), and found it is the young
wife of Thomas Higgs (Joshua and Ann's son)... I can forward this death
certificate for your records if required.
As yet still unable to locate a death for Ann Higgs (nee Cunningham)
Also, Joshua and Ann had one other daughter, Mary Ann, who was born approx. 1842
at Braidwood. .... registration still not located.
Mary Anne Higgs is my 3 x great grandmother and her death certificate states her
father's name as "Joshua Higgs" and mother's name as "Annie Cunningham" ... (I
can provide this certificate if required as well)
One last fact. Anne Cunningham arrived here as 'free'.
I am still researching at this point, however I believe she was with her mother
who was a prisoner on the ship.
Hope this is OK to send?
Kind regards, Julie :)
Thank you Julie,
Your offer to provide the death certificates is very generous and we would definitely appreciate receiving the copies please.
Regards, Ian
Hello
Ian,
Thank so much you for replying so quickly .... and also for adding Mary Ann to
your page so quickly as well!
On Mary Ann's death certificate, her father's occupation is given as 'jockey'
which all fits in part with Joshua's description of himself.
Another clue is that Joshua mentioned in his chat to the newspaper is that he
had a daughter in England who was to return soon. This was in 1883 and at that
time Mary Ann was in England with her 2nd husband, William Eagle, their daughter
Emma, as well as one of Mary Ann's daughters from a previous relationship,
Annie.
Mary Ann Higgs herself is a very interesting character to say the least - she
must take after her father!
I am descended from her via her son James McCoy (b. 1859 Indigo, Victoria).
Her other two surviving children to James McCoy were:
· Annie McCoy born 1861 at Wodonga, Victoria and
· Elizabeth McCoy born 28 March 1862 at Growlers Creek, Victoria.
· My James McCoy is my my 2nd great grandfather and was born 1 November 1859 at Indigo, Victoria.
Even though I already knew James birth date, actually finding it was a mammoth
effort! I finally found it and was absolutely stunned!! ... as I said earlier,
our Mary Ann was a bit of a character! ... on James birth registration, his
mother is listed as Mary Ann Seddon - maiden surname Higgs. I have not been
able to find ANY 'marriage' whatsoever to a James Seddon.
However, the father on this certificate is listed as James Sparkes. James
Sparkes is the alias for James McKay(McCoy). Before you ask, yes I know this is
the correct James McCoy as he used several aliases during this period ... it is
well documented through records I have obtained. In fact, I have documented
evidence that James was married to someone else from 1853 to 1861 --- and in an
official document dated 1861, this first wife is named as 'wife'.
It also states on Mary Ann's death certificate that she married James McCoy(snr)
in 1858 in Victoria, however I have been unable to find any registration of a
marriage at all.
In total it appears she had 6 children to James McCoy (even though I have
documented proof he was married to someone else as late as 1861!), yet on her
marriage to William Eagle in 1869 she gives her age as 21 and status as single!
At least by the time of her death she appears to have come to terms with her
correct age!
I will attach the
· death certificate for Ann Higgs (nee Rankin) - Thomas' wife, not Joshua's
· the death certificate for Mary Ann Eagle (nee Higgs);
· and a copy of the 1881 UK census (in 2 parts, as it went over the page).
I am currently trying to track Ann Cunningham. Some records state she arrived on
the "Marquis of Bristol", others state she arrived on the 'Margaret". I have
found a record on the "Margaret" for an Ellen Cunningham (convict) who arrived
with daughter Ann Cain (free) --- (a shortened derivative of Cunningham
perhaps?) .... anyway, I'm having a look at this line before looking into the
"Marquis of Bristol" records!!!
Can I ask your connection with the Higgs branch?
My line is:
Joshua Higgs/Ann Cunningham
--> Mary Ann Higgs/James McCoy (1) (born 1835, Cook's River NSW)
--> James McCoy(2)/Matilda Mary Alice Dalmas
--> Mary Ann Elizabeth McCoy/Horatio Hastings Spence
--> Janette Faye Spence/Byron Stanley Smith
--> me, Julie-Ann Reynolds (nee Smith)
If you would like any other information, please ask.
I have a lot of information on the various McCoy branches along with the Elphick
branch (Elizabeth McCoy's family)
Cheers, Julie :)
Hi Julie,
Thank you, the DC for Ann Higgs nee Rankin was a great help and enabled a number of loose ends to be resolved. I have no connection with the Higgs family.

Hi

The Monaro Pioneers website is fantastic.
I'm researching my descendants and am wondering if you can shed any light on
William Skipper and Mary Jane Gorman.
My great grandmother, Mary Ada Skipper, was their first born child. I'm curious
as to why she was born 5 years previous to them getting married. Once they were
married in 1881 they had 3 children, each born 2 years apart (which was quite
normal for those days).
I attended a family reunion quite a few years ago and there were rumours that my
grandmother, Clorine Letitia Mugridge, may have had aboriginality.
Any information would be useful. Thanks.

Good Morning,
Am I speaking with Ian?
Helen
You certainly are.
Regards, Ian
Thank you Ian, as you can see by my name we don't have any ancestors in this area.
We moved from Syd. 40 yrs ago and bought a property next door to Bill and Gail Fitzgerald, so after all this time and Bill now deceased, Gail and I are travelling around the countryside looking at all the cemeteries/churches etc in the whole district.
As I had been doing my family history for about 12 years, I had a good idea on research, so just recently offered to do the Fitzgerald's for them.
Of course your website is a very good place to start with the John Fitzgerald name.
His father being Patrick, it shows all the details of his death certificate at Crankey's Plains near Bombala, could you put me in touch with the person who may have the actual certificate.
For Patrick's son John who married Jessie, I have found another couple of children who were not registered at birth.
I just wanted to say what a wonderful website you have, 30 years ago we built the 2 storey house that overlooks the old pioneers cemetery at Nimmitabel and I remember wandering around the old headstones taking it all in.
We actually found an 1824 sixpence when the grader was making our driveway off Stanton Street, which I still have.
Regards, Helen
Hi Helen,
Sorry, I don't have any contact information for Patrick Fitzgerald unfortunately.
Are you able to supply the details of the missing children so that I can add them to the database?
Regards, Ian.
I'll try and be brief Ian, I just received the death certificate for Jessie Fitzgerald, wife of John REF: MP42939,
All the children are listed by name on the certificate, I'll just give you the 2 extras.
#1. Kate born 1859, someone I know has it as Catherine, but in keeping with the facts I guess you should put it down as Kate, the informant was Renie? Franklin, grandaughter, in the newspaper OBIT for Jessie it says she was living with her daughter in Kensington (Sydney), Dollenia was at Mullumbimby, so Kate is the one she lived with. Also says she leaves 5 sons and 2 daughters.
Your record: 1. William 2. John F were already dead, so that told me there was another son.
I found him, it was Patrick, born 1871-72 presume Bombala. OBIT in Wagga Wagga Express: died 16 October, 1902, accident at Ganmain, shearer, road his horse into a tree, smashing his head, native of Cooma, NSW B.D.M's has it, parents Jessie and John, registered at Narrandera.
Before I go, No. 1 son William who died 1911, buried Cooma cemetery, he shares his headstone with Mary Jane Fitzgerald who died 1939, she was born 1854, so about 7 yrs older than William. A MYSTERY, she had to be a relative and my guess was confirmed when I got her death certificate. William and Mary Jane had the same father, JOHN, she was born to John in Victoria, long before John married Jessie in 1859, shows her mother as Mary Unknown.
Also on Williams OBIT is says he had 3 sisters, Mary Jane was his half sister.
It's a bit long winded but I just wanted you to see I only go by facts.
Hope this is satisfactory for you. I have been able to collect a folder full of information just in about 3 weeks, although I do hate mysteries. Gail Fitzgerald has told her kids and a few of them are all excited at getting more info, I got all the documents for the convict records of the first 4 arrivals.
I do a lot of research on Trove, that's where you find all the OBIT's which mostly have a brief history of the persons life.

Thank you Helen, do you have any details on Kate and her family.

Hi Ian,
I will scan and send you all that I have on Ah Hung's and Jacksons. Ellen was my fathers grandmother. He is the son of Maude and George Smith. It is a hard task to try and track them all down. I have had some input from Bombala Historical Society and what I have sourced on the NSW'& VIC BDM site and the transcripts and certificates that i have purchased. It seems to be an impossible task to track them all down and link them together. My cousin who was raised by Maude and George says that Maude told her Ah Hung abandoned the family and returned to China. He was on Maude's birth certificate dated 1890, but on her marriage cert of 1921 he was listed as deceased. So he either died between 1890 and 1921 or he took off and left them all.
There are a lot of Trove articles on a Walter, who is described as a young fellow with cripple legs. They did a lot of fund raising for his medical treatment. My cousins who remember Walter Ernest said he had polio as a boy. I cannot find the birth of Walter anywhere but maybe he took his fathers name when he left them? James Walter who was born in 1880 may be Walter. I have birth confirmation for James Walter but no death.
I will send scans first that relate to Ah Hung and Ellen and their children.
I may have to send scans in a few emails.
