Scotland Census Records state
Alexander JAMIESON was born around 1802 to 1805 Moneghan,
Ireland.
Robert JAMIESON was born about 1827 Ireland.
Also seen surname as JAMISON and JAMESON.
I doubt parents will be named on the Scotland Death certificate for Alexander as
it was before civil registration so will probably only be similar to Aussie
burial records. His wife Sarah's 1878 Death Certificate would probably hold more
information regarding place or birth and date/place of marriage.
Apart from that posting a query on Ancestry on the Monaghan Ireland Message
Board might find some nice person willing to go to archives etc to do a look up.

Comments: Grateful for any information re parents of Mary Ann RYAN m. 1857 to
Michael McCarthy in Cooma. Marriage certificate cites Honorah Hogan (nee Dwyer)
giving permission for Mary to marry - what was their relationship? I thought she
might be her mother (their 2nd child was named after her), but Mary's DC gives
Mary as the mother. There is evidence of James and Honorah Ryan coming to
Australia in 1841 on the 'Livingstone' with 4 children - they had another,
Margaret Esther, in Cooma in 1845 and I thought Mary Ann might also have been
born to them in 1841/42 which would accord with her age of 15 at her marriage in
1857, but I can't confirm this. There is no information about parents on the
marriage certificate, even though Michael's mother, Johanna, was still alive at
the time and, if Honorah was Mary's mother, why wasn't she listed as such? I
also can't find Mary's BC with James as the father and Mary or Honorah as the
mother, but we know she was born at Bullembalong, near Berridale (as cited in
death notice in Manaro Mercury, 23/10/1922). Appreciate any help in resolving
this.
Many thanks! Cheryl Scott

CARROLL
From:
Ian Burke
Sent: Sunday, 25 June 2017 12:02 PM
Subject: Tracing people ......
Ian,
The other day quite by chance while looking for something else, I came across an
entry in your Sept 2014 newsletter from Mrs Lindsay Upton of NZ, enquiring about
the grave of James Carroll in Michelago cemetery. I think she is a
descendant.
I called at the cemetery a few weeks ago (again, looking for something else….)
and found the grave. Date of death is 1882 at age 83, giving a birthdate
of 1798-9.
I am wondering whether this could be the James Carroll who worked at Gegedzerick
for many years, originally a convict. This James Carroll’s birthdate I
thought was about 1792 (but you would be aware of frequent discrepancies in
birthdates, particularly Irish), I think he may have been assigned to Richard
Brooks, Maneroo, in about 1829 (but I am not completely certain of that either,
I’ve got it noted but haven’t noted the source – possibly the 1837 General
Return). However he arrived at Gegedzerick, he later became one of the
most important employees, with his wife and I think about 3 sons.
Carroll’s lake (about 6 or 7 miles south east of Gegedzerick homestead itself)
was called after him and I think he and his family lived over there (Brookses
still live over there). The family disappears from the Gegedzerick records
in the 1850s, I had previously thought he might have been the Carroll who was
murdered by bushrangers in the mid-1850s while on his way to Braidwood to
deliver something for his employer, but that might have been one of his sons or
another Carroll (there seem to have been quite a few Carrolls who were not
related).
I can’t find anything further in later newsletters, but would be very interested
to know if you heard anything from anyone and if you had any more contact from
Mrs Upton herself.
If this is the James Carroll I am thinking of (and if I’ve got the facts right),
the grave is extremely interesting as being one of the few marked graves of
someone who came to the Monaro in the 1820s.
Michelago cemetery is endlessly fascinating in this regard. Garrett Cotter
is buried near James Carroll and a number of the earliest Irish settlers are
buried there.
Regards, Ian
Hi Ian,
If you check our database, we have the James Carroll who was buried in the
Michelago Cemetery with his family. He was a free settler who arrived in
1856 with his family on the Commodore Perry.
Can you provide any more detail on the James Carroll, convict, to which
you refer?
Regards, Ian
Thanks for that, Ian.
I’m a bit disappointed that the grave isn’t that of the James Carroll I am
interested in, it would have been pretty exciting if it were although a few
minutes research should have been enough to show me it couldn’t have been, as
usual I am not thinking too clearly ….. I’ve also now had a look at all
the James Carrolls on the website, I’ve found the James Carroll who is in the
grave, but none of them could be the James Carroll of Gegedzerick.
I am writing up what I know of this James Carroll but I need to research
further, it is an important story and will be in my book which I hope to bring
out in Spring 2018 (but that depends on when I stop work, I am still working
full time as a government lawyer in Canberra and only get occasional days at
Gegedzerick Flat where I do most of my writing). I might publish a
short article about him in the meanwhile – but the Snowy River Echo has changed
so much, the Cooma-Monaro Express has been closed (in disgraceful circumstances)
and I don’t feel comfortable in the Monaro Post (which is more into sport and
contemporary events). In any case I don’t want my main original material
to come out before the book does.
I have found the notes I made about the bushranging incident – turns out it was
in 1866 or 7 – the Gegedzerick James Carroll disappears from the records in
1850. Given the dates, the murder victim couldn’t have been him. I
don’t know now why I thought it might have been, perhaps it was the reference to
the one pound note – I remember stories from the old people about how Brookses
would send men to Braidwood and Goulburn with money for various purposes, the
old people told me this as examples of the trust that existed between the
Brookses and their employees – so I seem to have assumed that was what happened
here
(Actually I now think James Carroll of Gegedzerick must died in 1850 when he
would have been into his 60s (which was an old age then) there was a payment of
“sundries” to one of his sons – which would happen when an employee died.
His is probably another of the unmarked graves in the Catholic portion of
Gegedzerick cemetery)
I also wonder who Phegan and Macdonnell were. There are no doubt more
records somewhere about this strange event (probably in the SMH itself, this is
only a summary of the editorial, I’ll find the full thing one day) – it is
interesting how strange or macabre things like this seem to have happened in the
1860s, my guess is that the gold rush and “gold fever”, plus the tension and
unrest of the Robertson land reforms, had some sort of effect on the community
and society which seems to have changed about that time – I know a number of
people writing at that time remarked on the differences in society which they
didn’t think were for the better either. The book I am working on covers
Monaro in the 20 years 1823-1843, the next 20 years up to the 1860s would
require a book of its own.
Regards, Ian
Ian,
This is another review that appeared in the Monaro Post last November. You
probably already know this book. My review doesn’t do it justice, it
really is an interesting book but I had been asked for another short article
with a Cooma-Monaro angle and this is all I could come up with in the time …..
What amazes me is how much I learn from writing things like this. I can
see now how flawed St Paul’s church is, the tower ruins it …..
Soares’s style in the church itself was an early Victorian pure form of Early
English. The tower he designed at the same time would have been in the
same style. Christchurch in Queanbeyan (widely considered to be Soares’s
masterpiece) has both church and tower to the original design all in the pure
Early English style – and the result is restrained and rewarding to look at, it
seems exactly right for early Monaro of those times.
But when they came to build the tower of St Paul’s in 1890, Soares’s original
design was considered to be too plain and so the tower was built in a high
Victorian English Decorated style which is badly at odds with the style of the
church itself. Probably the builders were influenced by St Andrew’s
Presbyterian church which was built just around the corner in the 1880s in high
Victorian English Decorated style which was the height of fashion by that time.
And it is really a good example of that style, the window facing the street (in
pure Late Decorated style, going into Perpendicular) is quite magnificent.
But obviously seeing this very fashionable Presbyterian building, the Church of
England people thought they wanted something fancier for their tower than the
austere Early English design Soares had done for it – so they built their tower
in the much more fashionable and fancy English Decorated style – and I really
wish they hadn’t have done that. If completed to Soares’s original style
the building would have been architecturally very striking – but as it is I
think Graham Burrow is justified in “hesitating to call it beautiful…” (even
though I took umbrage with that in the review)
I hadn’t really thought about any of this when I wrote that review …. It
just shows that our Monaro towns are not entirely devoid of “culture” doesn’t
it. We just need to have our eyes opened as to the way we look around us
and the way we think about their history.

Description: Obituary.
THE LATE MRS. JNO. SHEEDY
In the death of Mrs. Bridget Sheedy, relict of the late Mr. Jno. Sheedy, there
has passed away another of the early pioneers of the Queanbeyan district. The
subject of these memoirs passed peacefully to her eternal reward on Friday
morning last in Sydney at the residence of her daughter, Miss Lena Sheedy.
The deceased lady was 78 years of age and was born at Marulan and on her
marriage settled with her husband in this district where she reared a large
family of sons and daughters. She had been ailing only a short time and her
death was not unexpected.
The deceased lady was greatly esteemed by her many acquaintances for her
charitable disposition and kindness to anyone in need of assistance in sickness
or trouble, and her numerous friends will cherish her memory for years to come.
The remains were brought to Queanbeyan by train yesterday morning and taken to
St. Gregory's church, of which, during her residence here, deceased was a devout
adherent. The funeral took place yesterday and was largely attended by many
relatives and friends who came long distances to pay their last respect to the
deceased lady. The last prayers at the graveside were recited by the Rev. Father
Lehain, while the funeral arrangements were conducted by Mr. Henry Lazarus.
Eight sons, four daughters and 37 grand children are left to mourn the loss of a
loving and fond mother. The sons are : Patrick J. Sheedy, J.P., of Tharwa,
William John and Lieut. Martin Edward Sheedy (Sydney), Francis Bernard Sheedy,
Sergeant-Major Michael James Sheedy, Henry Austin Sheedy, of Wingello; Thomas
Andrew Sheedy, of Uabba, Lake Cargellico; Furane B. Sheedy, Milton Park, Bowral.
The daughters are : Miss Lena Sheedy (Sydney), Mrs. Charles Gumley (North
Sydney), Mrs. Wm. Burns (Murwillumbah) and Mrs Lewis. (Sydney).

Good Afternoon Lesley,
Thanks for your enquiry.
I will answer your questions in turn below:
I am led to believe there were TWO Thomas Higgs’ born in 1849, one on 26 April
and the other 21 September.
If I put either date into your search bar both dates come up with the same
registration number (2182/1849 V18492182 34A)
I can only find one registration for a Thomas Higgs on our birth index’s for an
1849 birth, not two. Not sure what your source on this information is.
I also was wondering if NSW BDM have any desire to record death details (Qld
Registration Numbers) for my sister and mother both born in NSW.
I am happy to send emailed copies of their Death Certificates if required.
The registry only records life events(birth death and marriage)that occur in the
borders of NSW.

GOULBURN POLICE COURT. SATURDAY, MAY 25. BEFORE the police magistrate.
John McSorley, apprehended on warrant charged by Mary McGillies with deserting
his illegitimate child, was brought up on remand. Mr. Gannon
appeared for the complainant, and Mr. Betts for defendant, who pleaded inability
to pay for the child's support. Two separate orders had been made against
defendant requiring him to contribute towards the child's support; but for the
last twelve months he had contributed nothing. An agreement had been made some
time since between the parties that on payment of £18 down no further
proceedings should be taken and defendant be released from all future claims on
the part of complainant; but he had paid only £8 17s. Mr. Gannon, for the
complainant, stated that his client was now willing to accept the balance.
Defendant deposed that he was a labourer with a wife and one child to support,
that he some times experienced difficulty in getting work, and often earned only
10s a week. Finally the case was adjourned for a week to allow of defendant
endeavouring to procure the balance or otherwise to had sureties for his
compliance with any order that the bench might make. Bail allowed, defendant and
one surety in the sum of £15 each.

Description: Found Dead.
NEWs has been received in town that Mr. John McSorley, contractor for the
conveyance of the Wheeo mail, has been found dead at Grabben Gullen in a paddock
belonging to Mr. White. The deceased had been to Goulburn, and was expected home
on Monday. The Goulburn police authorities have received no particulars of the
occurrence.
Goulburn Evening Penny Post, Thursday 4 July 1889 page 2
CROOKWELL.
(From the Gazette.)
Mr. S. L. Cox, district coroner, held an inquest on the body of Mr. John
McSorley, who met his death on Monday night last. The evidence of Mrs. Margaret
McSorley, wife of deceased, was to the effect that on Monday last her husband
left home with cattle for Goulburn, and she had never seen him alive afterwards.
Dr. Fitz-Patrick, Government Medical Officer, made a post-mortem examination of
the body and found no external marks of violence, but was of opinion that the
cause of death was dislocation of the neck.
Alfred Withers, hotelkeeper, saw deceased on Monday night in company wilth
Stephen Clune; they had five or six drinks; McSorley then went after the cattle
to put them into a paddock; deceased shortly afterwards came back and witness
tried to persuande him to stay, but without avail; deceased said he had to go
home, as he had particular business to transact next day.
Stephen Clune stated that deceased and he went into the hotel, and a man named
Tully called for drinks; deceased afterwards had some tea; witness brought the
cattle back; they were afterwards put into Mr. Tully's paddock; returning to
Withers' hotel, he found deceased lying on the road; witness and Withers lifted
him on his horse and he accompaniped him on his way home as far as Mr. A.
White's; witness tried to persuade deceased to remain at White's all night, but
he would not; Clune went with him about 100 yards, and left him at a spot about
70 yards distant from where his body was found. Andrew White's evidence was that
yesterday morning while on his way to work he saw a man lying on the track, whom
he found to be McSorley; asked Timothy McCormack to convey the intelligence to
the police. Constable Blagrave went out and found the body, and arranged for the
inquiry under the direction of Sergeant Hurley. The jury found that the deceased
died from the effects of a broken neck accidentally received.

Subject: David Norman c.
1835-1855 - was he the brother of William Norman(1832-1893)?
Hello Ian,
I'm unsure if it would be appropriate for me somehow to include this
information about a "David Norman" in the Monaro Pioneers database, so
am content to pass it on for your evaluation. The possible connection is
not of great significance to my interests but sometimes a clue is hard
to bypass.
When reading about William Norman (1832-1893) who migrated to the Colony
with his wife Sarah and son Richard in 1854, I became curious about the
connection with Ashfield in Sydney. As shown in the database, the
passenger list of the ship "Columbia" on which the Normans travelled
refers to a brother of William's named David who resided at Ashfield.
That's what it looks like to me; the image of the list is rather indistinct.
Elsewhere, the infant Richard Norman, son of William and Sarah, is said
to have died at Ashfield in 1855. Curiosity led me yesterday to search
newspaper records on Trove, and I found references to a David Norman,
aged 20, accidentally killed at Newtown in 1855 while working on the
railway line.
David Norman's age and the proximity of Newtown to Ashifield make me
wonder if he could have been the brother of William Norman.
I've attached some details of the newspaper reports of the accidental
death. The victim was initially reported as Daniel Norman, and this name
was repeated in a couple of later press reports (not shown) which seem
to have been copies of the first which appeared in "Empire" on 18 April
1855.
When reporting on 19 April 1855 about the magisterial inquiry into the
accident, "Empire" and "The Sydney Morning Herald" both showed the name
as David Norman, with the SMH's report being the more detailed of the two.
Kind regards, Bernie Wills.
Hi Bernie,
It is possible that the David Norman you reference was the brother of William
but I cannot make that connection without some concrete evidence. Perhaps
a transcript of his death certificate might reveal his parents and thus prove it
one way or the other.

I am not sure how we can help each other but just wanted to let you know. By the
way I love Monaro Pioneer and use your website regularly.

Hi Julie,
Thank you for the kind words, we certainly would be very interested in any
photos you have when digitised. We
would also appreciate any corrective or additional information you and your
group could provide to enhance the MP database.
