Date: 23 April 2021 at 9:22:24 am AESTDear David
My partner’s family has owned Cobandrah farms for the last fifty years, and has maintained the farmhouse which was the Sergeant at Arms Inn at Lochiel.
I am trying to track down a photo in an article on your site about the Sergeant at Arms Inn (link to article and photo below)
Armstrong McCausland's Sergeant at Arms Inn at Lochiel, near Pambula.
I would like to get the photo restored if possible.
I would also like to be added to your mailing list for the newsletter.
With thanks and kind regards, Kim
You could try the contact email on the Lochiel Page on our website, hopefully it is still current. Otherwise I am not able to be of much assistance unfortunately.
Regards, Ian
Thanks Ian - will try that.

Proposed Change: Elliott, Phyllis Merle (I87915)

Link: http://monaropioneers.
Description: My amazing mother, Phyllis Merle Dutton, passed away in Adelaide on 27 Feb 2021 aged 104 years and 4 months. She was cremated in Gosford, NSW and her remains placed with her husband in Palmdale Memorial Gardens.
It was not until the late 1980's that Mum found her connection to the Monaro District and was amazed at the number of "cousins" she found over the years, through her connection to the Elliott, Ingram, Douch and Twigg families. She was the daughter of Henry Joseph Elliott (born Bombala) and Caroline Way (born Craigie); granddaughter to Robert Gordon Elliott and Jane Ingram (born Bukalong); great grand-daughter of John Ingram and Mary Susan Douch and William Way Quong and Eliza Twigg (born Twofold Bay).

Thank you Patricia,

It is believed that Eccleston was the name of the boarding house on Vulture Street, owned by her daughter, Lydia Clarke Trivett.

Description: Add death date of 1871 Buchan, Victoria. The family of Donald McRae and Margaret Fraser were living in Buchan in the 1860s.
July 17, 1871 Victoria Police Gazette Missing Friends. www.ancestry.com
John McRae, age 17, is missing since the morning of the 19th June last, from Buchan, and it is feared that he has been drowned in the Buchan River, which was very much flooded at the time. The horse McRae rode was found yesterday at 4pm the same day with saddle and bridle on, the bridle broken and one of the stirrups gone; the saddle, which was saturated with water, leads to the supposition that the horse had been in the water. 6th July 1871.

Hi Ian,
I have attached Joshua's birth record, and while I do agree that it does name Joshua as father,
I honestly have no idea why Joshua was added as the father when this is clearly Thomas and Ann's baby.
Perhaps there was confusion when they asked for "father's name", Thomas gave his own father's name?
Ann Rankin was Thomas's wife, not Joshua's.
Joshua's wife was Ann Cunningham.
I will attach the the death registration of Ann Rankin which names Thomas as her husband, along with a newspaper story of her death from
Goulburn Herald and Chronicle (NSW 1864 - 1881) Wednesday 12 June 1872 page 2
%20Wednesday%2012%20June%201872%20page%202.jpg)
I know this really mightn't help you, but I know baby Joshua is not the son of Joshua the elder.
Since we last emailed, I have further evidence in regards to Joshua's wife, Ann Cunningham.
I have her arrival as a free person on a prison ship with her mother, although her age is listed as 7!
I thought this just had to be a transcription error, but on receiving the document, it is not. (New South Wales, Australia, Wives & Children of Irish Convicts, 1825-1840)
I find this hard to believe as within two years of arrival her mother Ellen was giving her permission to marry!
I wonder whether she was in her mid teens but very small for her age, so the mother understated her age to enable her to come on the ship with herself and her sister?
I am currently trying (unsuccessfully) to trace Ellen and Bridget Cunninham in Kings County (Offaly) Ireland.
Ahhhh, the investigations never end, do they?
Cheers,
Julie :)

Hi Milton,
If you check our database you will find all the information we have on Martha Mary Spencer and her 3 husbands/partners and 5 children. We have no information on any relationship between John James Parker and Grace Edna Thorn.
Your Mother is also listed in our database.
I strongly recommend you put your request for family contacts on our Facebook page which is an excellent vehicle for establishing such connections.

Hello Ian, my name is Sue Kennedy and I live in Sale, Victoria. I've been reading the section on the webpage about Dalgety.
I have been researching the Buckley family for many years now. I have lots of records that show that Edmund Buckley settled on the Woolway run in mid 1830's and I'm sure he would have been the first settler there. That's why it was called Buckley's Crossing. Edmund isn't even in your list of pioneers. Buckley had the run but he also had a store there beside the Snowy, which he advertised for sale in 1837 before moving down to the Yarram area (heard of Greenmount??). I don't know if you're interested in updating this information about Dalgety. Edmund's stepson was Patrick Coady Buckley who lived with Edmund for a while at Woolway but then moved down to take up his Coadyvale run in the area now known as Seaspray. Patrick is of greater interest to my research but Edmund Buckley's story goes hand in hand with Patrick's so that's why I have a lot of Edmund Buckley information. Let me know if you're interested.
Best wishes
Sue Kennedy
Hi Sue,
Thanks for the information, yes I am interested and would appreciate any additional information on Edmund Buckley and his family that you can provide.
Edmund is now included on our Pioneers Index.
