MRS. A. E. CHRISTIANSEN

Mrs. Ethel Adeline Christiansen, 41 years, died in Melbourne at 1.30 p.m. on Friday, October 6, after a short illness.

The late Mrs. Christiansen was the eldest daughter of Mr. J. Nichol, of Bendoc. She has spent her life in Gippsland, residing at Bendoc, Omeo, Mossiface and for the last five years in Orbost.

Besides being a good mother Mrs. Christiansen found time to interest herself in the R.S.L. Ladies Auxiliary and was secretary of that body for the last two years. She was a keen member of the Orbost Golf Club.

The sympathy of a wide circle of friends will be extended to her sorrowing husband and family of four-Brian, John, Judith and Jennifer.

The presence of representatives of the Newmerella School Committee, the R.S.L. Ladies' Auxiliary and Orbost branch of the R.S.L. at the Fawkner Cemetery on Monday, testified to the popularity and respect in which the late Mrs. Christiansen was held.

Mr. JOHN ROGERS

Mr. John Rogers died at his home in Bombala on Tuesday of last week. He was 73 years of age.
The late Mr. Rogers was born in Bombala and spent most of his life at that centre. He spent a number of years in Orbost.

It is of interest to note that he represented the third generation of the Rogers' in the butchering business at Bombala. His grandfather started butchering at the Nellbothery diggings back in 1861 and later carried on the business in Bombala for many years, being followed by two of his sons, John and Tom (deceased's father). It was with them that the late John Rogers served his apprenticeship, commencing at the age of 14. He had engaged almost continuously in butchering for about 55 years when he retired about four years ago.
His wife predeceased him sixteen years ago. His family of six daughters survive to mourn his passing.
There was a large attendance at the burial which took place at Bombala, Rev. Fr. Bartley officiated at the graveside.

Hi Ian,

I have been reviewing the published details on the Monaro Pioneers site of William Bryant, born in Bristol in 1793, transported to Sydney on the "Neptune" arriving in 1820 and dying in Warrumbucca on 5 May 1889. With this birth day he would have been 96 years old at death.

I am starting to question whether the William Bryant in this tree should not be William Bryant, born in Bristol in 1804, transported to Sydney on "Lloyd 1" arriving 18 December 1833 and dying in Warrumbucca on 5 May 1889 at age 85 (as per the death certificate). Married to Margaret Chapman about 1849, she died before him at Buddawang in17 March 1888.

If it is the case that the latter one may be correct, then the specific data like Ticket of Leave, Pardons etc would still apply to the one born in 1793 not the one born in 1804.

I am still researching this issue.

Kind regards

Greg Fromyhr

Hi Greg,

Do you have a copy of his death certificate that I could have a look at?

Hi Ian,

The respondent was always drunk and petitioner was always in a bruised condition. Petitioner stated that just before her fourth child was born her husband beat and assaulted her to such an extent that a few days alter the child's birth it died. The respondent used to go home and ask "if the kid was dead yet," and ordered the child's coffin a day or two before the child died. While her child was lying dead in the room respondent gave his wife a black eye.
She continued to live with her husband until 1891 when in consequence of his threatening her life with a revolver she left him.
