COURT HOUSE BUILDINGS

Good afternoon Ian (Monaro Pioneers),
I am hoping that you may be able to assist with my enquiry, as it is a little outside the main purpose of your website - but I am trying a long shot here in the hope of some success.Over the last few years I have developed an interest in Court House Buildings in country NSW and am researching old court house buildings. I understand that there existed a Court of Petty Sessions at Berridale from October 1958 to April 1979. I am assuming that court proceedings may have been held in a building that was either built for that purpose (i.e. a Court House), or maybe some other building (e.g the Police Station).
I would be interested to know more details about any court buildings and if they still exist. I have tried to locate them but have been unsuccessful, hence I am requesting your assistance.
Currently I am collecting as much information about court houses in country NSW with the view to writing a book about them. Much of the history associated with former country court houses is disappearing and it is my aim to gather as much as possible before it is too late. If by chance that you have any information and hopefully a photograph of any such building, may I please have a copy, as I will be most pleased to include it in the book with suitable acknowledgment. I have so far visited and photographed over 350 buildings in NSW that are, or were, court houses at some time. I am currently in the process of expanding my research to also include old court house buildings.
Please feel free to pass this request on to someone else if you wish.
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
I look forward to your reply.
With many thanks.
Kind regards, Lachlan Turner

Description: OBITUARY
The death of Mr. Peter
Alley, of Sassafras, which occurred at 'Edman'
Private Hospital, Nowra, on Wednesday morning, came as a terrible shock to his
relatives and many friends in the Nerriga district. The deceased, who was only
30 years of age, was a son of Mr. George
U. Alley, of Sassafras. He had only been in hospital about a week, prior to
which time he had been working at Messrs; McGuire's sawmill for the past couple
of years. Peter Alley was a splendid type of young man, honest, conscientious
and generous in the extreme. He was a general favourite with everyone who had
the pleasure of his acquaintance. The young man had friends everywhere. Amongst
his fellow employees he was most popular. There was no more competent workman a
man who simply compelled the respect of employer and fellow employee alike. His
passing came as an awful blow to them all. The deceased had been working on his
father's property for many years, proving himself one of the most capable and
resourceful men it would be possible to find. Many a traveller on the
Nerriga-Nowra road, particularly in flood time, had cause to remember the
assistance given by him. Writer can speak feelingly of one instance when he
rescued his car from the flooded Stoney Creek long before there was any bridge
there. Deceased leaves a widow, who was a Miss Rita Croker, of Tarago, and one
young child to mourn their loss. To them and his relatives we extend our sincere
sympathy. The funeral took place at Nerriga yesterday.

Death of Dr. Alley.
- Dr. George
Underwood Alley, who many years age was a prominent public character in this and
of the district, and subsequently at Shoalhaven, died at Araluen on Tuesday
last. Many of the old residents in Wollongong and other parts of Illawarra will
remember that the deceased was a frequent writer in the press, his usual
signature being ' G. U. A.' He also contested the general election for this
constituency on the occasion that Mr. John
Marks and the late Mr. Robert
Owen were returned, the electorate then extending from Bulli to the Shoalhaven
River. He was the lowest on the poll, however, 39 votes only having been
recorded for him. In the course of his contributions to the press, he frequently
aimed at accomplishing public good, but his ever-prevailing weakness for bitter
person alities invariably
nullified the efforts of his ready pen. During the last twelve or fourteen years
he has resided at Araluen, where his death took place. It is here worthy of
notice that the deceased maintained that he was the first person that directed
any attention to the existence of coal at Mount Keira, and the advantage that
that mineral was certain to become to Wollongong and lllawarra generally.

Dear Ian,
On the page titled Negus Edward Brown, there is this photo of a man in WW1 uniform:
This photo is NOT Negus Edward Brown. It is a photo of another soldier, also from Berridale, by the name of Cecil Oliver. I can’t see who contributed this photo, but ultimately I know it’s my fault that this mistake has occurred. I was given this photo and was told it was Negus Brown. I (very naively, as it turned out) didn’t question the veracity of the info, and submitted it to the Australian War Memorial database. I’m guessing that may be where the photo was plucked from. I don’t remember adding it here. I later verified the photo to be that of Cecil Oliver and contacted the AWM and had it removed it from their database.
I’d be very grateful if you could remove it, or contact the contributor and ask them to remove it, from the profile of Negus Edward Brown on monaro pioneers.
I’ve learned a valuable (and embarrassing!) lesson from this mistake: verify EVERYTHING before perpetrating it as fact, regardless of how trustworthy you think the source is. It was the ‘red herring’ amongst other accurate info and I fell in the trap.
Many thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Kind regards,Trish
Hi Trish,
Thank you for letting us know, the correction has been made. We have all made similar mistakes, just part of the fun of family research. The important thing is the right information is now established.
I have copied David Knox on this email so it can be included in the next newsletter, if you don't want it published please let David know.
Regards, Ian
Hi Ian,
THANK YOU very much for removing the photo. I was horrified to find it (x2) on Google Images and realize that it was still in circulation as Negus Brown. I thought I’d covered all my tracks at the time, 3 or 4 years ago. By some means, it’s also ended up in the National Archives so I’ve emailed them, too. Who would have thought that one small stuff up could have so many legs! That’s modern technology for you...
Now you have removed it, I’m hoping it may just magically disappear as a link to monaropioneers on Google Images, but could you please double check to see it is removed from there. I don’t know how GI works, it may be up to you as holder of the link to remove it.
You are welcome to include it in your next newsletter.
Many thanks for your help. I’m still wiping the egg off my face J
Kind regards, Trish

Hi Michael,
There is a slight error with my 2x great grandfather Donald Cameron. The database has his death recorded as 24 Jun 1883 at "Woodlands", Gundaroo.
He in fact died 1 July 1883 at his property called "The Glebe" at Ginninderra. There was a nice obituary for him.
DEATH OF MR. DONALD CAMERON.
We regret to have to announce the unexpected death of Mr. Donald
Cameron, of Ginninderra, an old and deservedly respected resident of the
district. The deceased gentleman was in town only a fortnight ago today in his
usual health. On returning to his home that evening, he complained of illness,
and showed symptoms of an epidemic at present prevalent at Ginninderra. He at
once took to his bed, and Dr. Richardson's
services were obtained.. The sickness took the form of bilious fever with other
complications, and despite every attention, medical skill and careful nursing
were alike baffled, and on Sunday morning about two o'clock ,Mr. Cameron
died in the presence of the doctor, and his sorrowing household. The interment
takes place this day in the Church of England cemetery at Ginninderra. Mr. Cameron
was an estimable man in every relationship of life. He was an elder in the
Presbyterian Church, and a useful member of society in many ways. His decease,
at the comparatively early age of fifty-two, is deeply regretted, not only on
account of his public usefulness, but more particularly as he leaves a widow and
a helpless family of four little girls and an invalid son, the eldest of whom is
only thirteen. Much commiseration is felt for the bereaved widow and orphans. Queanbeyan
Age (NSW : 1867 - 1904) Tue 3 Jul 1883 Page 2 Local News and
Notes.
It was also reported how his neighbours came to the farm and helped bring in the crops after his death:
GOOD SAMARITAN AGAIN -
Once more we have pleasure in reporting an act of true neighbourliness amongst
the settlers at Gininderra,
who are already distinguished for acts of kindness and self-sacrifice which we,
should like to see emulted more
generally through out the
colony. It appears that the late Mr. Donald
Cameron (whose interment took place last Tuesday) had only very partially
cropped his lands at the time when he was so suddenly and unexpectedly called
away by death. On Thursday (yesterday) a number of the neighbours manifested
their sympathy with the bereaved
widow and orphans in a thoroughly practical way, viz., assembling in
force with their ploughs, harrows, and seed, and putting in a large extent of
grain. We shall doubtless hear more particularly of the kindly deed, which
doubtless conmmands the
admiration of all right-thinking men, and certainly redounds to the credit of
the principal actors. Queanbeyan Age (NSW : 1867 - 1904) Fri 6 Jul 1883

Hi Ian,
Hope you are well. I wonder whether you could change the marriage details for Joan Nicholson born 17 Dec 1910 in Eden. Died Jun 2005 in Sydney, daughter of Arthur Imlay Nicholson and Rachel Woods. The Monaro Pioneers website has her married to David Smallwood Pearse and having her died in 2008. I don't know who he is. Joan Married Gerald Herbert Griffith on 15th Nov 1947 at the C of E Church of St Paul, Carlingford, NSW. Gerald Herbert Griffith was born about 1910 in Singapore. Not Mudgee as on the marriage record. He died 6 Feb 1979 in Dee Why NSW. Gerald Herbert Griffith had previously been married to Jean A Beatson in 1934 in Woolhara and Janet Euphemia Wilson in 1939 in Windsor NSW. I don't believe that Joan has a middle name of 'Elizabeth'.

Hello Ian
My great uncle Arthur Ware is shown on Adaminaby War Memorial for WW1 as A.H.

Arthur was born on 13 April 1892. His middle name is Heywood (his mother's
maiden name).
He was a Corporal (serial number 25/860) in 3rd Bttn NZRB.
He was wounded several times over three years but survived WW1 and returned to
New Zealand. His file shows he was docked a day's pay for disobeying an order
not to go on deck when the troopship was nearing Australia on the way home. Our
soldiers used to say they could smell the gum leaves even before the land came
into view.
Would you kindly use this data to
A) Update his Ware entry under his father Alexander Ware's name
B) List him with the 1st World War Enlisters
my thanks in advance

Hello Merilyn
I saw your request in the Newsletter and feel that the answers you are seeking might already be on the MP website.
From the Monaro Pioneers database:
MP shows the father of Stanley Thomas to be Julian Childs
MP shows the father of Julian to be Walter/Henry Childs
MP shows the mother of Walter/Henry to be Martha Childs. No father for
Walter/Henry is shown.
It is shown that Martha Childs had her son Walter/Henry in 1848
It is shown that Martha Childs married Thomas Brown in 1849
confirmed in BDM
(code NB – Church of England Monaro/Maneroo/Manaro
MP shows that Martha died in the floods in 1851
from SMH 29 May 1851:
"Thomas Brown, his wife and child"
The people who died in the floods were buried in the cemetery that was used at that time (Bega township did not yet exist) . It was located on Peter Imlay's property "Corridgeree" ... the cemetery is still there (on private land) but only a couple of headstones remain (Widdell and Spence)
MP shows the parents of Martha Child to be William Child and Rachel.
MP shows the death of William Child as 8 December 1959 (cause "intemperance") which corresponds with the newspaper account of "drunkard death"
my guess is that it is this one
The death of Rachel Childs is shown as 1891
**** MP shows copies of shipping records for William, Rachel and child Martha aged 9 arriving in Australia in 1841 from Romsey Hampshire.
Whilst the parents of Walter/Henry are shown as "William and Martha" on his marriage cert, this does not necessarily mean they have been truthfully given (unintentionally perhaps). Martha was 16 or 17 when Walter/Henry was born. If the family information on MP is correct, Walter/Henry was a year old when his mother married and 3 when she died. It is quite possible that he was then brought up by her parents, William and Rachel and did not have much knowledge of his mother (and if there was no "legal father" he may just have used his grandfather William's name). Very possibly the informant for his death cert just didn't know other than what had been passed on.
Copies (or transcriptions) of the two deaths (William and Rachel) could be obtained from BDM or a transcription agent. You would be looking for the informant or any other mention of Walter/Henry on them.
The marriage one would be a copy of a Church register and can be obtained by contacting the Society of Genealogists, who can then email it to you (small fee). It is unlikely to show her parents .. but you might be lucky in who the witnesses are.
As for Walter/Henry birth ... you would be hoping to find a baptismal record. MP shows "Pambula" (where there seemed to be several denominations). Society of Genealogists might be able to suggest where you could get searches done on other than CofE. But baptism (if he was) could be several years after his birth. If there was no "legal father" Martha may not have had him baptised.
I hope you can find what you need in order to confirm Walter/Henry's earlier family.
best wishes .. Liz Smit

Description: There are many who think that Thomas Richards is the son of
convicts, George Richards and Grace Mansfield, born Sydney 24 Oct 1810 and
baptised 12 Apr 1811 in St PhilipsCofE,
Sydney. All agree he married Martha Fowler to whom a son was born 5 Apr 1841 in Jacqua,
Bungonia, NSW. The 1841 census has them living at "Egham",
County Argyle.
24 Oct 1841 Arrested at Bungonia, Thomas Richards, a Native born Sydney 1811,
Protestant, a carpenter, 5' 4 1/2" tall, slight build, ruddy complexion, dark
brown hair, blue eyes, no distinguishing marks, in Berrima Gaol. Discharged 11
Feb 1842 after a fine of 10 + 3/- costs. His behaviour in gaol was recorded as
"orderly". (NSW Gaol Description and Entrance Books).
This description is quite different to that of Thomas Richards, the convict, who
arrived in May 1829.

Description: This will fill in a few details
LATE J. A. RITCHIE
An old Identity of the 'Crookwell district, James Alexander Ritchie, passed away
at his home at Croydon at the great age of 92 years on March 16 last. Born at Irvinestown,
County of Fermanagh, Ireland,
he came to Australia at an early age with his parents In 1862. The trip took six
months and the family settled at "Foxground," Kiama district for the first six
years. They then migrated to Bolong, which Is now known as Fullerton.
The deceased entered the Education Department In the late 80's, but resigned
following the untimely death of his father, who died at Peelwood as a result of
an accident in 1889. After a few years on the land he again entered the
Education Department and continued in that service till his retirement.
He taught at Limerick, Flowerburn and
Big Meadow schools for several years and was also at Binda for a short period.
From there he was transfered to
Brungle In the Tumut-Gundagai district
and later went to Wyong where he remained until his retirement.
The late Mr. Ritchie was
a self-taught man and was regarded by fellow teachers as one of the best
mathematicians In the Crookwell district. He was gifted with a remarkable memory
and almost to the end of his long life could relate Incidents in detail which
happened many years ago. He was also recognised as an authority on nature study
and was able to identify almost every plant growing in the tableland areas and
could give both botanical and common names of the plants. Some 13 years ago he
contributed several historical articles on the Fullerton district to the
"Crookwell Gazette" under tho non-de-plume of "Old Hand." He was, too, a man who
was always absolutely sure of his facts before making a statement.
The late Mr. Ritchie
was a keen follower of sport, especially cricket and he played with many
district teams in years gone by - Fullerton, Irlshtown (now
Kempton) and Thalaba.
He was considered to be above average in all departments of the game and was one
of the pioneers of break bowling in this district.
The deceased gentleman Is survived by his widow (nee Amelia Fenton, of Peelwood)
one son, Garfield, and two daughters, Vera (Mrs. Lucas)
and Mona (Mrs. Harrison).
One Sister, Mrs. R.
Stevens, of Sydney also survives. Following a service at his home at Concord the
mortal remains were taken to the Northern Suburbs Crematorium where a further
service was conducted by Rev. Dillon, of the Church of England. Pall bearers
were his son, Garfield, son-in-law, Arthur Lucas, and nephews Aubrey and Harold
Seaman.
