Dear Ian, Hi. My name is henry wellsmore and I have been researching my family for many years. Gwen Wellsmore sparked my interest in the late 1980s. My is on the James Wellsmore line. My grandfather was Henry Whalan (1884 - 1949). My dad was Don (1920 - 1981).

I discovered that my father was sent to live with a Mrs Dainer in abt 1932 and went to school at Adaminaby. I have wondered what the connection was between the two families. I know that James and Thomas Wellsmore were contempories of W Finn and that Emily Finn married John Dainer in 1906 and I am guessing that Emily was the woman my dad lived with. However I am still left wondering how this arrangement came about.

So I noticed that a web site

www.monaropioneers. com dated 7th july 2015 made mention of a lady Eliza Dainer and I wonder if it is possible to contact her to see if she can shed any light on the puzzle of why my father went from his family in Cooma to Dainers in Adaminaby. Herb Mould gave me this information in the early 2000. He had gone to school with my dad.No one in the Wellsmore family had any further information. I discussed these circumstances with Gwen but even she had no extra information

Ian would it be possible please for you to forward this email to Eliza asking her if she would contact me. Maybe in her research she has come across some clue which could possibily head me in a direction to solve this puzzle. I have come to a full stop. I have a few ideas as to how this came about but no solid information. I would be most grateful if you could facilitate.

Ian once again thank you

Sincerely henry wellsmore

Hi Henry,
Sorry, we don't have any contact information unfortunately. However, I recommend you put your enquiry on our Facebook page which will have the best chance of success.

Hi Ian

Have stumbled across an interesting gap in the Adam Sutherland record on your data base.

Am attaching file “1880 1224” that shows a third son of Adam Sutherland buried at Kiandra. In the report of the brother who dies March 1881 it indicates he is buried over his brother who predeceased him. It seems it has been assumed the earlier burial is the oldest brother who died in 1875 but I contend the grave dug three months earlier will be the site. For some reason a headstone for the 1875 and the 1881 deaths is created but Frederick Donald is omitted. All three are the children of I401254 and his first wife Ann. The newspaper reports are conclusive that the three are brothers although why Frederick Donald was not included in the headstone is a real riddle.

As the notation in “Small Cemeteries & Isolated Graves of the Tumut District” explains Adam and family were from Tasmania, went to New Zealand where wife Ann died. Adam and children return to Tasmania and Adam and boys then come to Monaro. On the way he married Margaret Ann Wilson in Eden (2344/1873 SUTHERLAND ADAM WILSON MARGARET ANN EDEN) and came to Monaro shortly after. I suspect he held the lease on west Pinbeyan Pastoral Run until mid 1880s but have not established this for certain yet.

The Adam Sutherland married to Margaret Ann Wilson is I192391 in my opinion. Thus, In my opinion I192391 and I401254 are the same individual.

The had a daughter SUTHERLAND AGNES MAUD IDA 9868/1875 ADAM MARGARET ANN COOMA

Margaret was still in Lobs Hole in 1882 as she was midwife to a birth (which is what created all this scratching around)

I2987 Adam Sutherland smells like a connection but I cannot find a death of Margaret so I will continue to wonder.

Let me know if I haven’t explained anything clearly – thanks for the fine work you maintain !

Regards, George T

Thank you George,
I have amended our records accordingly.

Hi David

Apologies as my enquiry is not necessarily regarding the newsletter.

We have recently bought a small block near Murrell’s crossing and I am interested in the history of the crossing and landholdings close by.

Do you perhaps know who settled the area near Murrell’s crossing? I have googled but to no avail.

Any suggestions welcome. And congratulations on a great pioneer website.

I have looked on BDM but cant find a birth certificate for Emma, or a death certificate for Ann Maria. can you confirm the birth certificate of Emma???
I have the death of Emma at Rosebrook in Sept 1875, but you have the death of Ann Maria the same time but at Cross Roads??? can supply the two certidficates if needed. Cant see where to add them here

Leah burke

Hi Leah,
The information we have is as supplied to us. We don't have any copies of certificates unfortunately.
I think it is quite probable that Emma and Ann Maria are the same person but I don't have any evidence to prove this theory unfortunately.
I have changed the place from Crossroads for both individuals you reference.
We would definitely appreciate copies of any certificates you can provide.

Description: OBITUARY
MRS. MARY LOWE
Mrs. Mary Lowe, who passed away at St. John of God Hospital, Goulburn, on the 1st inst., was the relict of the late Mr. Ned Lowe, who predeceased her by twelve months. Her home in Goulburn was "Ethelville", Clinton Street, where she had resided for five years. Her former home was "Pineville," Binda Road, Crookwell.
Although the late Mrs. Lowe did not enjoy perfect health during the past two years her passing was unexpected and came as a great shock to her family. The loss of her husband twelve months previously and the death, shortly afterwards, of her brother, imposed a heavy toll on her declining health. After a fortnight's illness in hospital she passed on to her divine reward strongly fortified in the spiritual rights of her faith. The late Mrs. Lowe, who was 69 years of age, had lived practically the whole of her life in the Crookwell district.
She was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jeremiah Corbett, of Grubben Gullen. and after her marriage she lived until five years ago with her husband and family at "Pineville," Crookwell. The late Mrs. Lowe took a keen interest and assisted materially in the pioneering and improvement of their property. Being of a quiet and unassuming disposition she never took a very active part in public affairs of the district. She was essentially a home lover and lived for her husband and family, but her warm hospitality and her cheery personality had won for her a very large circle of friends in Crookwell and the surrounding centres, all of whom mourn her passing.
It was only five years ago that the late Mr. and Mrs. Lowe decided to relinquish active interest in their affairs in the Crookwell district and live in retirement in Goulburn. A devout Catholic the late Mrs. Lowe always offered a charitable hand to the priests and nuns and all the institutions associated with the promotion of her faith.
On the morning she entered hospital she, as usual, attended her monthly duty with her own section of the Goulburn Branch of the Sacred Heart Society. Four sons, two brothers and a sister survive to mourn her passing. The sons are William (Roslyn), Harold (Taralga), John ("Pineville," Crookwell), and Reginald (Bondi). Messrs. Gus and Eugene Corbett, of Grabben Gullen, are brothers, and Miss K. Corbett, also of Grabben Gullen, is the sister. The funeral, which was largely at tended and representative of the whole district, moved from St. Mary's Church, Crookwell, on the 2nd inst. for the Catholic section of the Crookwell cemetery, where the remains were laid to rest. Rev. Father McKenna officiated at the graveside. Her four sons acted as pall-bearers.

Subject: Robinson Genealogy

Date: 15 May 2020 at 10:52:35 am AEST

John Barnes born abt 1778 & Mary Robinson born about 1785 I do believe his family was from Massachusetts.

Son Charles Barnes born Aug 24 1810 Boston Massachusetts.  He was baptism just before his marriage to Eugenie Marie Seguin on Apr 30 1839 Vaudreuil, Quebec.

Charles was baptist as an adult just before his marriage. So my assumption was that he was not Catholic.

Mary Robinson died  born in Port Royal Acadia Nova Scotia.  16 Oct 1865 her name was Mary Barnes husband John parent Gideon Robinson born 05 Sep 1755Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA & Elizabeth her last name could be Geber, the mother was also from Nova Scotia.

I’ve hit a brick wall nothing past his parents.  Anyone have any ideal.  Every site I go to won’t allow me because I am not USA.  Thank you for your help

The obituary in 1915 says the eldest son is in the Middle East. Herbert enlists 1916. It suggests Ernest George had enlisted but I find no record in the WW1 enlistments. The only matching name is a WA enlistment.

Dear Ian

I notice Laurence Donoghoe MP172331 seems to have begun life in Australia as "John" according to the manifest of the ship "Bee". If so he was born in Paisley, Renfrewshire Scotland rather than Ballinsorrow, Ireland.

The various forms of his name, Donoghoe, Donoghue and Donohoe as well as Laurence and Lawrence make him interesting to track!

Mary Anne Donoghoe, his uncle John's wife, saw fit to write to the Freemans Journal in 23 April 1898 to go someway to explaining family relationships.
