						Hello Ian,

							my name is Zoe Inman and I am in Perth Western 
							Australia.

							I notice your website has a contact for Betty 
							Raffaele, under the Mr. John Jardine section.

							I tried sending an email but it has bounced back. 
							 Is Betty still able to assist with queries?

								Hello Betty,

								my name is Zoe Inman and I live in Perth Western 
								Australia.  I have found your email on the 
								Monaropioneers website.

								I am the Great grand daughter of George Inman 
								who was born in Dumfries and who was the 
								grandson of Elizabeth Jardine, his Dad was the 
								illegit child of John Inman (the banker) and 
								Elizabeth.

								I have been occasionally communicating with 
								Frederick Johnston in Kentucky as he is a 
								descendent of Georges elder sister Mary Ann 
								Inman. And in amongst the items he  sent to me 
								your name appeared, as he was kind enough to 
								send me a photocopy of a letter you had that was 
								from John I to his cousin (John's)  Esther 
								(Esther McGufflicke), dated 1888.

								I'm trying to piece together lots of ends about 
								our family (as I'm sure many people are these 
								days), and enquire:

								 - Do you actually have the original letter/s or 
								were they only copies?? If you have the 
								originals, I would really appreciate a good copy 
								if at all possible. Either scan or photo would 
								be splendid.  The one dated March 28th, 1886, 
								describing where he is looking for his son who 
								left the ship in Melbourne and went into the 
								country is of special interest to me as it 
								confirms the "desserters" list of 1885 from the 
								ship "The Falls of Earn" that I have tracked 
								down.

								Hoping all is well with you and that you may 
								have the time to help. Or point me in the 
								direction of more to do with this.

								With best regards

								Zoe Inman

								Hello Ian

								I would like to point out an error in the death 
								of Michael Jeremiah McAuliffe.

								I was helping out a visitor to Hall School 
								Museum on an unrelated matter. I happened to 
								stumble across a transcript of Michael's 
								marriage notice in Queanbeyan Age of 5 May 1908. 
								What grabbed my attention was he was "of Crow's 
								Nest, Queensland" which is my home territory. 
								This prompted me to research his family which 
								comes up with a different conclusion.  So, just 
								who was the person who died in Rockdale in 1928?

								Michael moved to Qld as a single man and came 
								back to marry his sweetheart at Woodhouselee 
								(near Crookwell) on 21 Apr 1908. Obviously 
								returned to Qld immediately as first child was 
								born there 9 Feb 1909.

								FGS attached. I have found 5 children but there 
								appears to be yet another who doesn't show up in 
								available records.

								Hi Ian

									I have some fresh information regarding John 
									Michael O'REILLY that will need 
									some change to the existing MP data base for 
									this gentleman.  It concerns his place of 
									death and his burial site.

									The MP database states his place of death as 
									"Bombala", New South Wales and his burial as 
									at the private cemetery on then property of 
									Alec Brownlee at Rockton.

									 His death Certificate NSW 665/1906 actually 
									states his place of death as "Bondi" which 
									is now recognised as "Rockton" (not Bombala) 
									. Bombala would have been the closest NSW 
									civil administrative centre for the 
									registration of Births, Deaths and Marriages 
									 - in his case the place of registration of 
									his death  - not his place of death

									2ndly, the  Eden Observer and South 
									Coast  Advocate Friday April 6 1906 reported 
									that:

									"The death is 
									reported of Dr J.M. O'Reilly, aged 76, who 
									died at Bondi on Friday the 23rd inst.  The 
									deceased had been ailing for some time prior 
									to his demise.  He was a native of Ireland, 
									and had been a resident in 
									the Bombala district for upwards of 40 
									years. The deceased leaves a widow and a 
									grown-up family. The body was 
									interred at Nungatta, near Bondi."  
									      
									Extract confirmed by National Library 
									Australia records.

									In addition shortly after his death the  Bombala 
									Herald – 27 March 1906 reported :

									Another of the very old Bombala 
									residents died at Bondi on Friday in the 
									person of Dr. John Michael O'REILLY, aged 
									76.  The deceased who was an Old Age 
									Pensioner had been ailing for some time 
									prior to his demise.  He was a native of 
									Ireland, and had been resident here for 
									upwards of 40 years.  The deceased leaves a 
									widow and grown up family.  The body 
									was interred at Nangutta near Bondi on 
									Monday.

									and then Pambula 
									Voice – 30 March, 1906  

									Dr. 
									J.M. O'REILLY, 
									aged 76, died at Bondi on Friday last.  The 
									funeral took place at Nangutta last 
									Monday.

									There is a well known and well documented 
									cemetery at Nungatta which is very close to 
									Bondi/Rockton where Dr O'Reilly died.

									I would appreciate if you would accordingly 
									amend the records of Dr O'Reilly in the MP 
									data base.  Thank you in anticipation.

											Irene was born on 30th May 1907 not

											I see you do not have a death date

											I just checked, but I don't have her

											More to come,

											Thanks,  Cheryl

										Thank you 
										Cheryl,

										Would it be

										certificates you mention to add to the

																					3. To collect Historical information about the Monaro District and the Families that have lived there. 

																					4. And most importantly the newsletter is a venue for people who have an interest in the district to keep in contact with each other.
