Hello again.
You know
your site is fantastic, thank you to all those who have worked at this.
I ask
again for help.
Below is
info from your site, I have tried my best, short of paying heaps of $$$ to get
beyond the Alexander (1) position.
If anyone
has a suggestion, I would appreciate it, I have joined various Irish
based sites and done, no good.
I cannot
verify the County Monaghan birth nor marriage of Alexander(1) nor birth of his
son Robert.
Have not
been able to source any book about the Jamiesons by Bob Gollan nor find any of
the researchers listed on the pioneers index ?
Any help
would be appreciated.
Regards,
Neil.
Hi Neil,
Our
newsletter is due out next week. Your emails will be included and
perhaps after that you might receive a response.

Subject: HIGGS FAMILY
Hello Ian,
This one might required some sorting out, sorry.
I am looking at THOMAS HIGGS family and see there are TWO on MP. One Thomas is a
child of JESSE & ANNE and the other a child of JOSHUA & ANN, both around the
Braidwood area.
When looking on NSW BDM there is only ONE birth registered (1849) which is the
year of birth stated for BOTH Thomas’
If you put in either dates of birth 21.9.1849 or 26.4.1849 up comes the SAME
registration number 2182/1849 V18492182 34A (yes I agree this could be a BDM
issue).
MP state one Thomas (26 April) as dying 27.3.1922; BDM have for that date
1887/1922, father Joshua; Ryerson have SMH 6.4.1922 page 8 the date of death
27.3.1922 and the family listed does appear to be correct.
MP state the other Thomas (21 Sep) as dying 2 MARCH 1929; BDM 17633/1929 the
date 16.7.1929, father Jesse; Ryerson have SMH 18 JULY 1929 page 10 the date of
death as 16.7.1929, age 80, husband of Elizabeth.
Both mothers are Ann and Anne.
I have looked but not noticed WHO the contributors are to BOTH of these sites. I
wonder if you could maybe approach ‘whoever’ and suggest the info be checked for
accuracy.
You might also confirm to me if the BIRTH information should be brought to the
attention of NSW BDM (i.e., both dates having the same registration number).
Knowing MP do such a wonderful job in all areas is why I pose these curly
questions to you. Keep up the good
work, we all appreciate your efforts,
LE (Qld)
Hi Lesley,
Obviously we have the wrong death date for the second Thomas Higgs and I have
amended our records accordingly, thanks for letting us know.

As to tilting at the BDM windmill, I have never tried doing that so if you
decide to attempt it I would be interested in how and if you succeed.

Thanks Ian, that is one Thomas sorted I really am concentrating on the other
Thomas born to Joshua and Anne and married to Bridget Noonan.
As for BDM I have actually had two records ‘altered’ over the last several years
when I produced proof of their error.
I will certainly keep you updated on how I get on with this case.

Bauer & Linger Descendants
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.
Kind regards, Stephanie Hinson
Thames-Coromandel, New Zealand
Thank you Stephanie,

Hello
With the
DNA services and family sharing available on Ancestry, I would like to add
further information to my previous email to you.
I have
made DNA matches with a descendant of John Sydney Bauer who married Edith Ruby
Hepburn. Our common ancestors are George Carl Bauer and Elizabeth Linger.
This
confirms that our family member Lawrence Herbert Bauer who married Lillian
McClintock nee Dudley in 1932 in NZ is correct, along with my other DNA matches
connecting the families together.

Hello Ian
I have
written previously related to Robert Allendale Campbell and Mary Agnes Walsh
(Wallace). This is an update.
As a
reminder of the background, Robert Allendale Campbell had 2 life partners, the
first, his wife Mary Ann Good, who died in 1888 and by whom he had one
short-lived child. He then was with another Mary Agnes and while there is no
record of formal marriage, they nevertheless had multiple children. My dilemma
has been to confirm who Mary Agnes was.
Further research led me to the conclusion
that Mary
Agnes Good was the mother to Robert’s first child, William, and my great
grandmother was Mary Walsh, the mother to Robert’s other children and that Mary
Walsh took on the identity of Mary Good. An early case of fraud identity! My DNA
test has now confirmed my previous assumptions and my connection to the Walsh
family.
Do you
think it is possible to update Mary Agnes Walsh’s entry and delete reference to
Wallace which is incorrect. Please let me know if you need any further details
or clarification.
If you
want more details:
Parents:
Denis (1828-1908) and Elizabeth (nee Slaven)
(1841-1922) WALSH. Siblings: Joseph WALSH
(1865–1947); Margaret WALSH (1866–1952); Annie WALSH (1868–1951); John Joseph
WALSH (1872–1958); Denis WALSH (1876–1904); Edward WALSH (1877–); Patrick WALSH
(1879–) and Bridget Esther WALSH (1881–1956).
I note
there are other Slaven/Slavin on the site but I am not sure of connections.
By the
way, do you have any contact details for anyone contributing information related
to the above families. It would be nice to make contact.
Thank you
for a marvellous website.

HERBERGER

Subject: Notes - Louisa Caroline
Herberger (1819 - 1907)
Hi Ian,
Below are notes for the subject person.
Louisa Herberger is almost certainly the sister of Carl (Charles) Ludwig
Herberger born in Saint Andreasberg in 1823. His German occupation was stated
as a miner which was the same occupation of Louisa’s husband August Schlick.
Carl and his wife arrived in Adelaide in 1847 which was 2 years earlier than
August and Louisa. During the next 10 years there was constant contact between
the Herbergers and Schlicks.
In 1860 August’s timber mill business failed and August headed for the Kiandra
gold fields. At about the same time Carl left Adelaide and had uncollected mail
addressed to him at Kiandra. It is almost certain that they travelled together.
Both had a history of gold prospecting. August left his wife Louisa and their 5
children in Adelaide. Louisa informed the Destitute Board that she had been
deserted and was given assistance.
In late 1861 August returned from the Monaro and shortly after the family set
off in a horse drawn wagon for Nimmo where August had arranged to construct
another timber mill. The whereabouts of Carl’s wife and child from 1860 to 1862
is not known however it is likely that they remained in Adelaide and both the
Schlicks and Herbergers travelled together to the Monaro with the Herbergers
heading for Cathcart.
Louisa and August remained in the Nimmo/Adaminaby area until 1884. In
that year they bought land in Chapman Street Cooma and built a modest brick
cottage which they lived in for the rest of their lives. The cottage is still
standing and occupied.

Subject: Notes - Mary Wilhelmina Schlick
(1849 - 1937)
Hi Ian,
I have found two more females who do not have written notes. This is the first
note.
Mary was the first of the Schlick children born in Australia. She spent her
pre-teenage years in the Adelaide Hills where her father, August, operated a
timber mill. In 1860 the mill business failed and August headed for the Kiandra
gold rush leaving his wife and 5 children behind. Her mother turned to the
Destitute Board for help.
In late 1861, August returned and took the family overland to Nimmo on the
Monaro. At Nimmo Station he set up another saw mill and was open for business
in early 1863.
By 1870 Mary had met ex gold miner and now grazier John Feilen. He lived at
Rhine Falls. They married in 1871 and about a year later they moved to
“Greendale” situated about 6 km west of Cooma. They remained at Greendale until
John retired in 1914 then they moved to a 9 acre hobby farm overlooking the
Parramatta River at Ermington. Spinster daughters Mary and Mabel went with
them. Mabel became housekeeper and carer for her aging parents and epileptic
sister Mary. John died in 1921 and Mabel was very ill. Their doctor suggested
that they move to the Southern Highlands. They moved to Wingello, however,
Mabel’s condition worsened and she died from breast cancer in 1922.
At age 18, granddaughter Olive was sent to housekeep at Wingello. When she
married and left Wingello in 1926, daughter Mary was admitted to Kenmore
Psychiatric Hospital at Goulburn. With hired help and visits by relatives, Mary
(senior) remained at Wingello until she passed away in 1937.

Tree: SE NSW Pioneers and Settlers

http://monaropioneers.com/TNG/getperson.php?personID=I127866&tree=MP
Description: CORONER'S INQUESTS'
An inquest was held yesterday, by the acting Coroner, at his office, touching
the death of Simeon Emery, who died at the Infirmary on Monday night from
injuries received on the tramway on Monday. Superintendent Roberts, of the
Tramway Department, was present. The jury having inspected the body, the
following evidence was adduced :Daniel Allen, pastor at the Castlereagh-street
Baptist Church, deposed that the body just viewed by the Coroner and jury was
that of a man named Simeon Emery, aged 79 years, who had been a baptist minister
for about 50 years, but had not officiated through age for the last 10 years ;
deceased was a native of Malmesbury, Wiltshire, England, and had left a family
of three sons and two daughters. Samuel de Lissa deposed : I am a merchant
carrying on business in Barrack-street ; I never saw deceased before Monday,
when I took my seat in the front seat of the rear car in the 1.5 tram for Moore
Park; this was at the office in Elizabeth-street; I was sitting on the extreme
corner of the seat furthest from the office: after the tram started I saw
deceased run up to the car and catch hold of the brass handle against which I
was sitting ; he made two or three ineffectual attempts to get on the step; then
I and several others called out to him to let go ; deceased would not let go,
notwithstanding that he was being carried off his feet ; he clung on still
tighter ; he then let go, and fell well clear of the tram, but he then caught
the stepping board with his hands, and his feet swept round underneath; he then
let go the stepping board, and the momentum of the tram turned his body round at
right angles to the line ; he was right under the stepping board at this time,
with feet inwards ; he lay there till the hind wheels caught him and dragged him
along for about 10 or 12 yards ; he fell between the fore and the hind wheels ;
some one tried to catch hold of deceased's coat, but was unable to do so ; I am
of opinion that nothing could have been done to prevent the accident, and that
no one was to blame but deceased himself. Mark Windeyer Traill, one of the
resident medical officers of the Infirmary, deposed to the nature of the
injuries inflicted upon deceased, and that death was result of shock to the
system. William Muir deposed : I am a resident at Chippendale ; on Monday, just
before the 1.5 tram for Moore Park started, I was standing on the east side of
Elizabeth street, opposite the tramway office ; the cars had just arrived and
taken in the passengers ; an old man came up just as the cars were about to
start, and caught hold of the hand-rail and attempted to get in, but the cars
started and he was unable to do so ; he tried several time to sit down on the
footrail, but was too frail, and his feet slipped under the wheels, causing him
to let go the rail ; he then caught hold of the board, but soon had to let that
go also, and he was then dragged 15 or 16 feet; he lay in that position for
about 10 minutes ; there were no appliances to lift the carriage, and it had to
be lifted by the people who came up before he could be removed from the rails ;
I am of opinion that deceased would have been saved if those in the seat where
he tried to get in had caught hold of him and dragged him in ; he was too frail
to spring up ; there was no guard on that side of the car; the body viewed by
the Coroner and jury this morning at the Infirmary is the same. J. W. Tyrer
deposed : I am chief clerk at the tramway office, in Elizabeth-street; in
reference to the lifting appliances, a jack (one of which each driver has in his
motor) was immediately put under the car, for the purpose of raising it in order
to extricate deceased; but as it could be lifted quicker by manual labour, the
people were asked to get out of the carriage, and they did so, and the car was
lifted up and deceased got from under ; there were two conductors on the car ;
at the time of the occurrence conductor Fountain, who was conductor of the car
which ran over the deceased, was engaged in saving a lady from falling from the
off side of the same car, after which he ran round to the other side ; I
previously heard some one cry out, but before the conductor got to the other
side the deceased was down. The jury after a short deliberation returned a
verdict that deceased died from injuries accidentally received through trying to
get into a tram car while it was in motion ; and they were of opinion that no
blame was attributable to anyone.

Both his parents died in 1900 so could not have been born in 1902. Probably due

Comments: Hi All,
Thx for your great work on the pioneers of Monaro.
We were at Gegedzerick cemetry recently(Robert Jamieson), cleaned up a bit, it
being already well looked after by locals ?
My question, can you direct me to any of the people who have discovered info
about the Jamiesons (Alexander (2) ) and his brother Robert.
I have tried and failed to get beyond your info on Irish connections, said to be
in County Monaghan, Ireland.
Also, the book on Jamiesons, Bob Golom ? do you know of a copy/publisher,
please.

Hi Neil,
The only contact information we have is displayed on our website (A bit old
unfortunately). This email will appear in our next newsletter and perhaps one
of our readers will be able to assist you.
I also recommend you put your request on our Facebook page which is proving to
be an excellent resource for contacting family members.

Description: Hi Ian
John Stanley (Stan) Bray's war service record is digitised and available at the
Nation Archives. His service number is 1773 (or 1772 - both appear).
His name is on the Cooma Cenotaph among those of the 53 men who fell in the
First World War.
I've put a bit of a summary below, you're welcome to use as much (or little) of
it as you wish.
Best regards, Dean
Stan was born 5th September 1896. (NSW BDM Index, 29978/1896)
John Stanley Bray applied to enlist at Cooma on July 17th 1915. He was 18 years,
10 months old and currently serving in the 11th Light Horse, Cooma Troop. He was
rejected on medical grounds.
Stan then enlisted in the Citizen Forces at Holsworthy. He tried to enlist in
the A.I.F. at least 2 other times, only to be rejected on each occasion.
He continued to serve in the Citizen Forces until his death on the 1st July 1919
at the No. 4 General Hospital Randwick NSW. The cause of death was Pneumonic
Influenza, Broncho pneumonia, Cardiac failure. (NSW BDM Index, 18515/1919)
The deceased was assured a military funeral, the internment taking place at
Rookwood. The scene was an impressive one as the funeral proceeded to the
Central Railway Station, the crowds of pedestrians halting, and soldiers en
route saluting the cortege. Monaro Mercury,
July 4th 1919.

Subject: D Sheep farming in the
1800's.
Hello David,
I am writing a play about sheep shearers and breeders during the mid 1800’s and
wonder if you could help me with some facts. What would be the asking
price of a good quality Lincoln ram during those times, and how much per pound
could the farmer expect for the sale of wool and meat when that ram was crossed
with Merino stock?
If I am asking the wrong person, I apologise and wonder if you could suggest
where I can find this information. I have trawled the internet for days
and find so much relevant information, except those figures.
Many thanks for your time,
Sue Sewell.
Morning, I just started to read the latest news email and saw that a Sue Sewell
wants some information on sheep and costs etc.
May I suggest she checks out
Australian Wool,_State Library, Riding on the Sheeps Back NSW, 1797 by John
Macarthur and Samuel Marsden (just type this into google)
Australian Ass of Stud Merino Breeders (on line)
At most county libraries, is a History of Sheep by Charlie Massy, “
Severn Park” , Cooma NSW Charlie has more
knowledge on sheep in this country than anyone I know and is always happy to
help out. Perhaps Sue might like to write to him at the address above.
Hope this information gets her on the right track,
Cheers, Gail Kerrison.
Hi David,
Thank you
so much for all that information , very helpful. Would you please pass on my
thanks to Gail Kerrison for replying in such detail; I will look at everything
she mentions.
With best wishes, Sue.
