Hi Ian,
Apologies for contacting you out of the blue. I have used the website before,
and I have found information about my family, but I am having trouble now. My
name is Kelly Hopkins, my mother is Maureen Therese Hopkins (nee Griffin) he
mother was Phyllis Irene Kennedy before she married my Grandfather. I haven’t
been back to Cooma since I was 17, and remember parts of the family history, I
was just wanting to track down exactly who we have there now. I know mums
cousins Michael and Nealie O’Neil are still in town, but with mum turning 70
this year we are looking
to organise a bit a reunion. Any help or advise would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance, Kelly Hopkins

would like to let you know that the father of Catherine Moore was not Joseph
Moore, although this is what is on the NSW Death index for her. Her
parents were Robert Moore and Mary Ann Rutledge and she was born 18.11.1867 at

Hi Ian
I am helping a friend with his research and I have been checking information
with the family tree of Richard Hannaford.
I feel there is a possible mix up of information relating to two of his
descendants, both named Henry Rowe Hannaford and both have Ada McSkinning / Ada
McSkimming listed as a wife.
ID. 1386428 Henry Rowe Hannaford, born 1854, s/o Richard Hannaford
married Ada McSkimming 1883
ID. 113701 Henry Rowe Hannaford, born 1866, s/o James Richard Hannaford
married Ada McSkinning 1883
married Frances Sophia Summerell 1889
Large families with numerous family members with the same name can make life
very difficult for family researches, it is so easy to mix up information when
entering data into a family tree.

aged 84 years.
Evening News (Sydney, NSW : 1869 - 1931)
Mon 6 Oct 1879 Page 2
CAPTAIN WATSON.
Captain Thomas Watson, a very old colonist of New South Wales, died on Sunday,
at Randwick, where he had resided. His age was 84 years; and, during a greater
part of his life, was a resident of Sydney, having arrived here over half a
century ago. He was an enthusiastic admirer of Captain Cook, and his efforts to
obtain the erection of a statue to the memory of the great circumnavigator will
be long remembered. He lived to see the work accomplished, and the occasion of
the unveiling was, as he acknowledged at the time, one of the proudest and
happiest of his life. On October 27, 1874, he had himself erected a statue to
Cook on his estate at Randwick. This statue he gave to the colony. It was
unveiled by Commodore Goodenough. Watson's Bay takes its name after him. One of
the first appointments Captain Watson held in Sydney was that of light-keeper at
Macquarie lighthouse shortly after its establishment. He afterwards obtained the
appointment of pilot of Port Jackson, and subsequently rose to the position, of
harbour-master. He was also a member of the Marine Board for several years. The
most eventful period of his life was when he was master of the schooner
Essington, and rescued, in 1837, a white man named Forbes from the cruel and
murderous savages of the island of Timor after a captivity of 16 years.
The remains of the deceased gentleman were interred at half-past 12 o'clock on
Tuesday, at the Newtown Cemetery, in the presence of a large num-ber of old
colonists and leading citizens. The funeral cortege left the deceased
gentleman's residence, on the Randwick Road, near Coogee Bay, at 10 o'clock, and
proceeded to St. Jude's Church, where the Bishop of Sydney conducted the service
for the dead. Tho coffin, which was placed near the communion rails, was covered
with wreaths of beautiful flowers and the shroud was a Union Jack. After the
service the funeral party was again formed, and proceeded along the Randwick
Road, down Oxford and Liverpool streets into, George Street, and thence along
the Newtown Road to the cemetery, which was reached shortly after noon. The
first carriage that followed the hearse contained the deceased's brother, Mr. R.
Watson, and deceased's nephews. The next mourning coach contained the chief
mourners and executors, Mr. John Williams, jun., and Mr. W. S. Williams. The
next three carriages contained the members of the Marine Board - Captains
Hixson, J. B. Watt, Fox, Jenkins, Broomfield, M'Lean, and Mr. Lindeman, the
secre-tary. In the other carriages (about 30 in number) were Captain Charles,
M.L.A., Messrs. G. M. Pitt, Dutrue, P. Allpross, Hon. J. Marks, Dr. M'Kay, D.
O'Connor, D. O'Connell, J. J. Riley, Broderick, R. W. Robberds, Edward Lord, E.
B. Smith, M.P., Cruickshank, J. Cox, and others. When the coffin had been
carried to the grave, the Rev. Thomas Wilson conducted the burial service and
delivered an extempore address suitable to the solemn occasion.

Dear Michael,
I am helping Barry Perry, the Great Great Grandson of Thomas Robert Perry who
was the son of Peter Hepburn Perry (convict) and Elizabeth Ann Brown with his
family history. Barry is married to a cousin of my husband.
We are a little puzzled on your website by the last named child of Thomas Robert
Perry and Martha Jane Eltherington being named as Eden Kenneth Perry b. 1895
Bega d. 1958 Petersham
This child was Eden Clarice Perry, (Birth from NSW BDM Index Reg. No.
10994/1895 Bega District Father: Thomas R Mother:
Martha J).
Eden Clarice Perry married Adam Alfred Wesley Zuber (Marriage from NSW BDM Index
Reg. No. 12010/1915 Lismore District).
Also there was a report in the Northern Star, Lismore, Thu 16 Sep 1915, Page 4
"ZUBER-PERRY.
The Rev. Canon Whyte was the officiating clergyman at a pretty wedding
solemnised at St. Andrew's Church of England yesterday afternoon between Adam
Alfred Wesley, son of the late Mr. Richard and Mrs. Zuber, Sydney, and Eden
Clarice, daughter of Mr. Thomas Perry and the late Mrs. Perry, of Rous. Mrs.
Cordery presided at the organ. The bride, who was given away by her brother, Mr.
H. Perry, wore a beautiful gown of ivory satin charmeuse, bodice with Raglan
effect, with vest of tucked ninon, deep puffed tunic falling into a square demi
train, lined ninon, and edged goffered frills, sprays of hand-made roses, the
deep ceinture swathed belt was caught at each side of the bodice with hand-made
roses.
A coronet of orange blossoms kept in place an embroidered tulle veil arranged
mob cap fashion. A gold bangle was the bridegroom's gift. Miss Ivy Perry
(sister) attended as bridesmaid wearing white Japanese silk scalloped tunic and
folded belt, vest of tucked pink ninon, white satin French sailor hat trimmed
with roses and streamers. A ruby pendant and chain was the bridegroom's gift.
Little Phyllis Klein was train bearer, wearing a dainty frock of hailstone
muslin with Valencienne lace and pink satin sash latticed ribbon, mob cap to
match, and the bridegroom's gift was a gold ring. Mr. M. G. Loadsman was
bestman. The bridal party left the church to the strains of Mendelsohn's Wedding
March. The wedding breakfast was served in the large dining room at Mr. B
Klein's residence, about 20 relatives being present. A handsome three-decker
wedding cake, the gift of Mr. L. Sackett had pride of place. Mr. B. Klein
presided, and toasts, including that of "The King," were duly honoured. Mr. and
Mrs. Zuber, who were the recipients of a number of useful presents, left later
by motor for the Brunswick Heads on a short honeymoon, the bride travelling in a
smart violet crepe de chene costume, black tulle hat trimmed violets and tulle
butterfly bows. The catering was in the hands of Sackett and Howard."
Eden Clarice Zuber (Death from NSW BDM Index Reg. No. 65912/1971 Albury Father:
Thomas, Mother: Martha).
Adam Alfred Wesley Zuber:
“Death from Australian Cemeteries Index (Ancestry)
Name: Adam Arthur Wesley Zuber
Death Age: 80
Birth Date: 1887
Death Date: abt 1967
Late Residence: Gippsland Home & Hospital Bairnsdale
Burial Date: 13 Dec 1967
Cemetery: Bairnsdale Cemetery
Section: Church of England
Cemetery Location: Bairnsdale, Victoria
Register Number: 6062
Occupation: Retired Draper"
There is also a Newspaper Article in the Northern Star, Lismore when Eden
Clarice Zuber’s, sister, Maud Jessie Loadsman (nee Perry) died in Lismore in
1942 as follows:
“Northern Star, Lismore, Fri 6 Jul 1951, Page 5, Obituary
MRS. M. G. LOADSMAN.
Although she had been in indifferent health for some time, the death occurred
suddenly at her home late last night of Mrs. Jessie Maud Loadsman, aged 66, wife
of Mr. M. G. Loadsman, of 32 Keen Street, Lismore. Mrs. Loadsman was well known
in Lismore, where she had resided for over 50 years. She was born at Tilba
Tilba. In addition to her husband, Mrs. Loadsman is survived by four sons and a
daughter. The sons are Messrs. Marshall, Terance and John, all of Lismore, and
Trevor, of Kyogle, and the daughter, Mrs. G. R. McGauly, of Bellevue Hill.
Brothers are Messrs. Hugh Perry, of Federal, John Perry, of Keerrong, Peter
Perry, of Tilba Tilba, and Sonny Perry, of N.Z., and sisters are Mrs. W. Zuber,
of Albury, and Mrs. I. Ferguson and Mrs. M. Reid, of N.Z. Her funeral will leave
St. Carthage's Cathedral, Lismore, tomorrow, after a service commencing at 11
a.m. for the Lismore cemetery."
As you can see from the above Newspaper Article Eden is referred to as “Mrs. W.
Zuber”.
I also applied for the Death record for Thomas Robert Perry
Ref No: 1917/13144 Ballina as Thomas Robert Perry lived at Rous Mill not far
from Ballina and his son Hugh Perry of Rous Mill was one of the informants on
the Death Record along with the Matron of Ballina Community Hospital.
Thomas Robert Perry died on 3 August 1917 at the District Hospital, Ballina
Municipality. His profession was a Farmer aged 68 years. The cause
of death is (a) Primary spastic paraplegia (b) Paralysis of respiratory centre,
years as certified by Dr. Gearin, MB.
The informant - Certified by A Pearson, matron, District Hospital, Ballina and
H. Perry, Rous Mill.
Unfortunately the parents’ names have been noted as Hugh Perry’s parents and not
the parents of Thomas Robert Perry. They have been noted as Thomas Perry,
father, Violinist and Martha (surname unknown), mother.
As Peter Hepburn Perry gave his occupation on the Church Marriage Record as a
Musician I think perhaps Hugh Perry may have known his Grandfather’s occupation
but not his name.
Thomas Robert Perry was buried in the Church of England Section of East Ballina
Cemetery.
It is noted that Thomas Robert Perry was 23 years of age at time of marriage and
was born at Moruya NSW.
Thomas Robert Perry married Martha Jane Eltherington at the house of her father
George Eltherington at Cobargo near Bega. Thomas Robert Perry is from
Bodalla and his father is Peter Perry and his mother Elizabeth Taylor (from the
records I have the mother is Elizabeth Ann Brown) I have the
marriage record for Thomas Robert Perry and also a Newspaper article as follows:
“The
Bega Gazette and Eden District or Southern Coast Advertiser, Fri 17 May 1872,
Page 2, Family Notices
"MARRIAGES.
PERRY-ELTHERINGTON.-At the residence of the bride's Father, on 9th instant, by
the Rev. M. Maldern, Thomas Robert Perry, of Bodalla, to Martha Jane, eldest
daughter of Mr. George J. Eltherington, of Cobargo."
The children named on the death record for Thomas Robert Perry are noted as:
Elizabeth 44 years, Hugh 39 years, John 37 years, Peter G 35 years, Mary J 32
years, Hamilton R 30 years, Ivy 26 years, Eden 22 years living, one male and one
female deceased.
I think as the children’s names are right for this family on the Death record
for Thomas Robert Perry who died at Ballina on 3 August 1917 that the above
Death record would be the right one for Thomas Robert Perry and not the death
date shown on the website as 24 May 1919 at Arncliffe NSW.
I hope the above information is helpful to your research and records and I look
forward to hearing from you in due course.
Kind regards, Shirley McAnelly

Hi Diane,
If you check our database, you will find the family details of the convict
Thomas Berry and his family(s) (3 wives).
Thomas is buried in the Braidwood Cemetery along with his third wife. We
don’t have any information on where Bridget is buried but most likely on a
property at Jerrabattgulla (near Braidwood) where she died February 21st, 1868.

which re veals that he won the singles championship, in 1932. He is survived by
his wife, and one son, Mr. Sydney Walsham, of Grafton. Mr. Walsham had five

Description: Heirloom Pearls Worn By Bride
Miss Laurel Blanchfield wore a gown encrusted with pearls more than 90 years old
for her wedding to the Reverend Lawson James at St. Paul's Church on Saturday.
The pearls were worn by her great-grandmother, Mrs. Eldridge, at her wedding in
Cooma more than 90 years ago. Since then various members of the family have worn
the pearls on their wedding day.
The bride is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Blanchfield, of Yarralumla,
and the 'groom is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. R. J. James, of Parkdale,
Melbourne.
The ceremony was con-ducted by the Bishop of Canberra and Goulburn, Dr. E. H.
Burgmann.
The bride's gown was on white brocaded satin in a princess style. She wore a
coronet of pearls with a three-tier fingertip-length veil and carried a white
prayer book with a trailer of stephanotis.
The bridesmaids, Miss Gwen Banks, of Sydney, and Miss Gleeys James, sister of
the 'groom, were in full-length lilac satin frocks with matching lilac chiffon
hemline sashes. Their hats were of lilac velvet leaves and they carried mauve
orchids and white stephanotis.
Lynette Blanchfield, niece of the bride, who was flower girl, wore a white nylon
full-length frock with a lilac sash and caught up at the hemline with tiny lilac
flowers. An Alice band of lilac velvet leaves formed the head-dress.
Mr. Geoffrey Byrne was best man and Mr. Allan Thompson 'groomsman.
Mrs. Blanchfield was attired in a grey and pink brocade jacket frock with pink
and black accessories, while Mrs. James wore a pink suit with black and white
accessories.
The bride wore a navy blue frock and jacket with all white accessories when
leaving for the honeymoon.
