(Before Mr. Justice Simpson.)
BOWMAN V. BOWMAN.
Ellen Bowman (formerly Skinner) sought a dissolution of her marriage with Isaac
Bowman on the ground of desertion. Petitioner, who was represented by Mr. P. K.
White, stated that the marriage took place in August, 1872 at Hoskinstown,
near Molonglo. They lived happily for three years, and then one morning he went
away and never returned. He shook hands with the petitioner, kissed the children
wished her good luck, saying that she would get along all right without him. His Honor said
that he could not hold that there had been desertion for three years and
upwards. The petitioner had said she was glad to be rid of the respondent. He
dismissed the petition.

Description: Hi there,
Still loving Monaro Pioneers. Fantastic site.
I'm looking into a descendant of Captain John STEVENSON.
You have him married three times, twice in Scotland and once in Australia to an Agnes FAIRWEATHER who goes onto have a number of children.
I think this may be inaccurate. Agnes is listed as having been born in 1799 and marrying in 1865. She would have been too old to have birthed any children in this marriage.
Thanks, Claire
Hi Claire,
The marriage took place well after the birth of the children. As we don’t have copies of any certificates for Agnes, I am not able to confirm or deny the details we have been supplied.

Hello again Ian
Below in jpg form is a photograph of Pvte Oscar Hyle's headstone.
The photo was taken at Villers Bretonneux ( exactly 100 years after his death) by a family member who had gone there to attend this year’s special Anzac Day ceremony and is now searching for the grave of his brother Pvte Elliot Hyles.
Both men were first cousin of my great uncle Ernest Ware whose war record has just been updated on Monaro Pioneers.
Would it be OK to add this photo to Oscar’s military record ?

Hello Ian
Some years ago I submitted what little was then known about the WW1 service of my great uncle Ernest.
He is included in Men of the Snowy River War Memorial Book on display at Berridale council chambers but precise details of his New Zealand service and death were unknown and I have searched for and recently found that information.
He had advanced his age and enlisted under an assumed surname of Dempsey but fortunately given his sister Sarah as his next of kin.
Below are two of his pictures. The first is in png form. He was killed at Ypes Belgium on 24 November,1917. His New Zealand army number was 38358 and his rank was Lance Corporal in the ambulance section of 3rd Bn Wellington Infantry Regiment.
Would you kindly make amendments to the Pioneers and Military sections of Monaro Pioneers and add his photograph to both sections.
Many thanks, Greg Thorp
Hi Greg,
Thank you for the information and images, Ernest Henry’s record has been updated and his photos added to his record in our database.

OBITUARY
Floyd Primmer, Q'beyan great
Australian Football in the Queanbeyan district lost one of its former great players and leaders when Floyd Primmer died last week. Primmer first took up with the Queanbeyan Tigers in 1935 after coming under notice with the Albury Rovers in the Ovens and Murray League and being invited to train with Carlton in the VFL. He was instrumental in leading Queanbeyan to three successive premierships - 1939-41 - after being appointed captain-coach in 1938. Primmer represented the ACT on a number of occasions and was selected as captain in several of those matches. He was appointed non-playing coach of the first Queanbeyan-Acton combine in the 1952 season and took the side to the grand final. The team played five successive grand finals, winning three. In his earlier days in the Albury district, Primmer earned a reputa tion as a top sprinter with wins in two Beechworth Gifts as well as being placed in several others. Also, he was a cyclist of some note.

William Vincent Primmer, aged 12 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Primmer, of Queanbeyan, was fatally injured when struck by a motor lorry late on Saturday afternoon.

What a remarkable lady!- a great story that I thought should be added to Flora's page.
The Canberra Times (ACT : 1926 - 1995) Sun 28 Feb 1988 Page 1
Still a good life, at 107 By TONY WRIGHT
Flora Primmer married a man from the Snowy River. She was 21. The year was 1901, when Australia was celebrating its Federation. Today, Mrs Primmer, at the tender age of 107, spends a lot of time musing on the changes she has seen.
She has outlived her Man from Snowy River by 26 years, although he was 86 when he died, and she has outlived three of her seven sons. She can remember when there were no motor cars, when there was no electricity, and when women did not have the vote. "I voted in Cooma when women first got the vote (in 1902 in NSW)," she says. "I rode in a motor car that day for the first time. Gus Miller, the Labor member for Monaro, drove me in his car to the voting booth. He was really a grand man. I have always voted since then."
Mrs Primmer's head swirls with memories. She can stand in front of the house in Queanbeyan where she lived for 50 years and look at a nearby block of flats and tell you there was once afowlhouse there; at the houses across the street that she remembers was an empty paddock: at a doctor's clinic that was a vegetable patch; and at the firestation, where cows once grazed.
"There's no secret to growing old," she will tell you. "You just live from day to day. I was always pretty healthy, and I worked hard." Mrs Primmer lives at the Queanbeyan Private Nursing Home these days, just around the corner from her house of memories. There are plenty of memories that pre-date the house, too.
She was born, on December 21, 1880, in the gold mining village of Bethanga, tucked in among the hills east of Albury.
"My father and mother came from Adelaide to Bethanga in a bullock dray," she says. "My father had a butcher's shop"
"I remember when I was six there was a big celebration at the school -something to do with Queen Victoria- and we walked three miles across the paddocks. It rained all the way, and they gave me a Queen Victoria medal. I think I've lost it.
"When 1 was 16 I got a job at the local hotel - I scrubbed the floors and did all sorts of work - and I got four lovely shillings for the first week."
One day, her Man from Snowy River walked into her life. His name was Michael Primmer.
"He used to ride horses all over the Snowy Mountains," she says. "He was the first to take supplies up to [Clement Lindley] Wragge, the scientist who studied the weather up on top of Kosciusko." Michael Primmer and Flora Bartlett (for that was her maiden name) were married in Albury in 1901.
They moved to Cooma, where Mr Primmer earned his money "as a navvy - he sheared, fenced, went on the railways... anything really".
Later, the couple moved back to Albury where Mr Primmer worked on one of Australia's great construction jobs of the time - building the giant Hume Weir. It took 14 years, and Mr Primmer was the first man employed and the last to leave. "He had a horse and dray, and carried stone and soil for the weir wall."
Then they packed their belongings on the dray and set off for the small town of Canberra, where Mr Primmer worked variously on building the Cotter Dam, the powerstation, and "those streets and avenues in Canberra".
"We lived in a tent out on the Cotter. I tell you, there were hard times."
The Depression of the 1930s is etched deep into Mrs Primmer's mind.
"We never took the dole, not once. Not us, or any of our sons. We kept them. Three or four of the boys were fit for work, but they couldn't get jobs. We had a vegetable patch. We never went hungry - there was always meat and potatoes if we didn't have any thing else."
The boys, all seven of them, were born at home, wherever home might have been at the time.
"I had a bush nurse come in - we had no luxuries, let me tell you."
The Primmers moved into their Queanbeyan home in 1935. Mr Primmer carted wood for other householders in his horse and dray. He retired as a pensioner a few years later. It seems almost incredible that Mrs Primmer turned 60 in the first year of World War II. She and her husband had already lived a long life before those who are now middle-aged were born. Mrs Primmer has lived for more than half the time that Australia has been colonised by Europeans.
"I've had a good life," she says. "I'm still having a good life."

Subject: Question - Henry ‘Walter’ Child
Dear Ian,
I note that you put together the information on the
Henry ‘Walter’ Child tree
http://www.monaropioneers.com/
I am so keen to find out how my surname came to Australia but am stuck at William Child/s and Martha’s generation. I have come across a land grant to a William Child of 12.2 acres in Bega c1854. I have Henry’s marriage certificate that shows his father as William Child (farmer) and mother as Martha Child, but his death certificate shows father as William Childs (labourer) and Martha surname unknown. Ancestry.com.au does not have the answer.
I have also come across a TROVE article referring to the death of a drunkard, ‘an old resident’ of Bega, William Childs, under the verandah of the Victoria Inn, Bega, 8th December 1859. I am planning on finding the record of the magisterial enquiry mentioned in the article.
TROVE keywords a ‘William Child’ in Adelaide in relationship to this family, but that doesn’t feel right to me. It doesn’t fit with Bega.
I am just wondering if you have any local knowledge that might help me get unstuck finding the right William Child or Childs? Is it possible that the strange lack of information of the parents of such a prominent family so few generations ago, means William and Martha were vagrants and transients? I can find no marriage record, and indeed few records at all. Was it a birth from cohabitation? They appear to have only had one child, and there are no household census showing the three together in one house., or indeed William or Martha , except one reference to a William Childs living alone in a bark hut in the Illawarra in 1850.
Even if I can identify him, this won’t solve my problem in terms of the arrival of the name and genealogical line in Australia. There are so many William Child/s, one via Norfolk Island, others assisted, others convicts at about the right time.
I know I am talking aloud (apologies) and you may have nothing further to offer. But any information is useful.
Kind regards, Merilyn Childs
Daughter of Stanley Thomas Childs and great great grand-daughter of William Child/s & Martha.

Description: OBITUARY
Mr. Chas. Thos. Blowes
Charlie (as he was known to everyone) Blowes passed quietly away at 9 p.m. on Christmas Eve at his residence. "Back Creek," on Cooks Vale Creek, Limerick, at the age of 69 years. He would have reached 70 years on January 15.
He had been in falling health for some three or four years and had been unable to follow his former active life and. the end was not unexpected. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Blowes, settled with their family at Back Creek when the land around that part, of Cooks Vale was thrown open. The nearest school was Fullerton School-now pulled down and here Charlie Blowes learnt his lessons and met his life's companion.
He married Catherine Sharwood, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Sharwood, of the same district. The wedding at Bolong Church was a notable event not yet forgotten by the older people of the district. The young couple went to Burraga, where the copper mines were in full work. Charlie Blowes was esteemed as a hard-working miner, conscientious and never deterred by hard work, ready to take on an extra shift to help another, if ill. Nothing was too much trouble and he took a pride in the job. Later he brought his young family back to Cooks Vale Creek, taking up a selection adjoining his parents residence, and there he lived all the remainder of his life. A good shearer, an expert at handling horses and a good rider. A hard-working, industrious man of the land, ready for any job that was to be done. Of jovial, sociable disposition, Charlie Blowes was never happier than when keeping events moving at a schools' sports or acting as M.C. at a local dance. Mr. and Mrs. Blowes were always ready to respond to a call on behalf of any good cause and few were the social events at which he and his wife were not present giving of their time and boundless energy. Charlie Blowes was a good churchman; he made a point of being at church services, notwithstanding distance or weather. The Rev. T. E. Whiting expressed the feelings of a very large congregation before the Interment, saying how much Charlie would be missed and how difficult It will be to fill his place.
The funeral took place at Bolong on Sunday, December 26. An impressive service was read by the Rev. T. E. Whiting, M.A., and the congregation sang the hymn "Abide with Me." As the casket was carried out of the church hall "Forever with the Lord" was played on the organ. The large congregation some unable to gain admission to the hall and the long line of cars that followed to the cemetery bore testimony to the great respect In which the family is held. The Rev. T. E. Whiting officiated at the graveside, where the deceased was laid to rest beside his dearly loved wife, who predeceased him in July, 1946. Surviving are two sons Laurence Rupert (Cooks Vale), Albert Samuel (Fullerton) and three daughters Emily Lindaline (Mrs. C. D. Stephenson), Ivy Beatrice (Mrs. L. B. Holden), both of Sydney, and Alma Jane (Mrs. Frank Smith, Fullerton). One son died in infancy. One brother is living, Albert, of Lithgow, and one brother, Sam, died many years ago. Sarah (Mrs. Grayson. Sydney) and Rachel (Mrs. . H. Murphy, Forbes) are sisters. Many beautiful floral tributes were received from sympathising friends.
