OLDFIELD

Subject: Oldfield Family

Hi

I’m trying to make sense of the many different “Naas” variations that show up in my Oldfield family tree.

Joseph Matthew Oldfield (Jnr) and Elizabeth Rawlings are my greatx2 grandparents and on their children’s birth certs they are variously shown as living at:

·         Naas

·         Naas Valley Station

·         Naas Creek

Various other Oldfields appear at:

·         Fairfield, Naas

·         Mistley Cottage, Naas

·         Naas Homestead

·         Naas Cemetery

·         Naas School

·         Top Naas

Google searches reveal little geography for this area … are their historical maps showing the various sections of Naas?

 

I also have a Facebook family group where I post BDM certs, photos etc…. and encourage other Oldfiel/Rawling descendnats to do the same. https://www.facebook.com/groups/OldfieldRawlingsFamilyGroup/

I’m happy to share any documents and images you’d like and would also be grateful if you’d encourage other Oldfield or Rawling descendants to contact me at this address (perhaps a mention in your newsletter?)

Thanks for any assistance you can give

R!

Hi Roberta,

As you have probably already determined Naas is the area just south of Canberra and was probably a property name originally.  I don’t have any information or maps of the area but HAGSOC in Canberra would be a good place to check  (https://familyhistoryact.org.au/).

Yes, we would appreciate copies any images you can provide to add to the individual records in our database.

 

I recommend you also put your request for family contacts on our Facebook page which is proving to be a very excellent vehicle for researchers to find other family members.

Regards, Ian

Description: Bungendore.

(From our correspondent.)

Death.

- It is my sorrowful duty to record the death of Mrs. John Leahy, which sad event occurred last Friday evening in the Goulburn hospital, the cause of death being tubercular disease of knee joint. The deceased lady had been ailing for over three months, and had been in the hospital nearly three weeks when death occurred. No pains or expense were spared and everything was done that was possible to spare her life, but of no avail, and she passed peacefully away at 5 p.m., surrounded by relatives and loving friends.

The deceased lady was a resident of here for more than 42 years and was beloved by a large circle of friends. She was ever ready to assist in any function of a religious or charitable nature, and was ever a friend to those in sickness and will be sadly missed not only from her own home but by all her acquaintances.

Mrs. Leahy was a native of Yass, being the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hassett, and was 60 years of age. The funeral took place on Saturday evening, the body having arrived in Bungendore by train that morning and been conveyed to the Catholic Church, and the cortege was one of the largest I have seen attending any funeral here. The remains were interred in the Catholic cemetery, the Rev. J. Fitzpatrick reading the solemn funeral service both at the church and grave side.

Comments (Holzhauser, Samuel Joseph b. 1882 Candelo, New South Wales d. 1948 Cobar, New South Wales): Good afternoon,

I am the great grandaughter of Samuel J Hall (Holzhauser). I am researching my family history and wanted to know why there are no details about Samuel's marriage or children on this site yet that information is listed for all his siblings? Could it be due to him marrying an aboriginal woman? Did the family disown him & thats why he changed his last name? My grandfather has passed away now but I know it would mean alot to my father if Samuel's marriage to Kitty Keewong and 5 children were acknowledged publicly. It is so sad that Samuel's final resting place is an unmarked grave in Cobar. I live in Eden now & am trying to find out what happened to my great grandfather. It's like they cut him out of the family tree completely. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Tiona Hall

Hi Tiona,

Samuel’s family are not listed simply because we have never received any details about his marriage or descendants.  If you care to provide me with all the information I will gladly add that branch to our records.

Mrs. W. Beileiter died at her home in Cardwell Street on Saturday night last. Mrs. Beileiter had been a long and patient sufferer, and for some time past she had been hovering between life and death. As showing the high esteem in which the deceased was held there was a large gathering at the funeral on Monday afternoon, and the hearse and coffin were covered in beautiful wreaths. A short service was held in St. Matthias's Church by the Rev. Carruthers before the coffin was carried to its last resting place in the Bombala cemetery. The church was filled to overflowing. Appropriate hymns were sung and the first portion of the burial service was read. When the cortege left the church it was headed by a long procession of oddfellows who thus showed their sympathy with Bro. Beileiter, one of the oldest and most prominent oddfellows in the district. Mrs. Beileiter was a daughter of the late Mr. G. Phillips, and a native of Bombala, and leaves to mourn a husband, daughter, and two sons.

Description: MR ROBERT LANG.

Mr Robert Lang, a well known farmer of Richlands, Taralga, died suddenly at his residence on Wednesday afternoon at the age of 77 years. He had been in ill-health for some time and was recently treated for heart trouble. Mr. Lang went to his sheep yards during the afternoon in order to do light work and later he was found dead in the yards. There were no marks on the body and in view of a doctor's statement, the Coroner decided to dispense with an inquest. He was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lang, who were pioneers of the Wombebyan Caves district.

Mr. Lang was twice married and leaves a widow and seven children of his second marriage. One daughter is married to Mr. Max White. Mr Lang carried on grazing near Curraweela for some years and later acquired property in the Richlands closer settlement area. Messrs. Charles Lang (Gunning) and Jed Lang (Oberon) are brothers. The interment took place at the Anglican cemetery, Stonequarry. Prior to the funeral the body was taken to the Anglican Church at Taralga where Rev. H.F.A. Champion officiated and later read the burial service. There was a very large attendance at the funeral.

Good Morning Ian,

 

I believe there is a duplication of names with the Michael Richard Geraghty (MP11110) being the same person as the Michael R Garretty (MP7885) who married Ethel Ruby West (I7901). The daughter of this marriage is listed Thelma Ethel Geraghty (the surname should be changed to GARRETTY as per NSW BDM). From the New South Wales Police Gazette of 13 Aug 1919 (below) this led this morning to the identification of second child of this marriage being Felix L GARRETTY born Cooma 1918 (BDM NSW 4144/1918).

Description: THE LATE MR. W. A. BRODRIBB.

 

We regret to have to announce the death of Mr. William Adam Brodribb, one of the last of the old colonists,,who link the present to the past of New South Wales. Mr. Brodribb was a Londoner having been born in that city on May the 27th, 1809. He was therefore 77 years of age. He was the son of the late William. Adams Brodribb, an English solicitor, who afterwards resided in Hobart, where he held the office of clerk to the Judge Advocate, and subsequently became Under-Sheriff. Mr. Brodribb left his fathers adopted home for New South Wales, where he entered upon sheep-farming and also cattle-breeding, in each case with considerable success. His first station was in the Maneroo district; and he after-wards acquired an interest in a large, pastoral Holding near Goulburn and during his residence there stocked a station on the Broker River with sheep, cattle, and horses, Mr. Brodribb was one of a company formed for the exploration of Gippsland, who after considerable hard-ship and almost when their minds were made up, to abandon the enterprise discovered what is now known, as Port Albert. After varying fortune in station property, in New South Wales. Mr. Brodribb in 1855 crossed the Australian Alps with his herds, and settled on the Wanganella run, from, which, however, he soon, afterwards sold out. He then went to Melbourne, where he was elected a member of Parliament for Brighton; but about a year afterwards he resigned, and went to England, and, after, two years' absence, returned and formed several, stations in the Lachlan district. In 1874 be again visited England, and whilst there did some useful work for the colony, aiding, in bringing about reforms in the wool trade. He was elected a fellow, of the Royal Geographical Society, and a Fellow of the Royal Colonial Institute. In 1876 he returned again to the colony, and purchased, Buckhurst, where he resided up till tho time of his death. In 1877 Mr. Brodribb was appointed a member of the New South Wales Commission at the Paris International Exhibition and in 1879 a member of the New South Wales International Exhibition, He was justice of the peace - both of this colony and of Victoria. Mr, Brodribb was elected a member of the Legislative Assembly of New South Wales on November 24, 1880, but resigned that position in the following year, on the 29th December, upon which day he was appointed to a seat in the Legislative Council. He did not, however, take his place among tho members of that body till the 22nd of August following. Of that Chamber, he. has remained a member ever since.

Mr. Brodribb went to Melbourne about three weeks ago, and was taken rather unwell whilst there. He was very anxious to return, and as soon as possible did so, reaching Sydney by the express train on Saturday morning last. At first, after his return to Sydney he appeared to be better in health, but on Sunday he was again taken ill, and his illness terminated fatally at 5 o'clock yesterday morning.
