Hello Mailing List Members I am seeking Aboriginal Family History Information on my mother's side as follows. "My family origins are from South-West Queensland, particularly on a few of the properties in the Toobeah/Bungunya area, west of Goondiwindi - the names of these properties include Welltown, Winton and Kyawanna. With the help of Community and Personal Histories section, the State Library of Queensland and the Northern Regional Library (Moree, NSW), I have obtained some information on my family history back as far as Great Grandparents, however there are still plenty of gaps that I would appreciate any further information on. My Great Grandparents on my maternal Grandfather's side were Amelia WIGHTMAN and Edward NOBLE. Amelia was also known as Fanny and was born about 1859 on Welltown Station, via Toobeah and died in Goondiwindi on 9 December 1933. The Tindale records indicate that Amelia's mother was an Annie Bella BIRD (of Welltown Station) and her father was an 'unknown whiteman'. Annie later married William WIGHTMAN (of Toomelah, Boggabilla NSW) which is where Amelia took the name of Wightman. Amelia and Edward (also known as 'Ned') NOBLE had 6 children Annie (married James WATSON), George, Jane (married William SAUNDERS), Frank, Winnifred (married Jack RIGBY) including my Grandfather James Noble. James married my Grandmother Hannah ARMSTRONG in Goondiwindi 1925 - Hannah was born on Winton Station, via Toobeah on 1 April 1904 and died at Dirranbandi on 13 May 1960. Hannah's parents were James ARMSTRONG and Ada PARKER - both worked on Winton Station. As well as Hannah, James and Ada had 4 other children - Jessie (married Thomas BINGE), Emily (married Robert TURNBULL), Herbert and Harold. Prior to this relationship, it is believed that James had 6 children with a Teresa WHITE - these were Rolly ARMSTRONG (later removed to Woorabinda, married Effie COOMBRA of Bollon), Katie ARMSTRONG (later removed to Cherbourg, married a GEORGETOWN), Celia ARMSTRONG (married George HOPKINS), James (Jimmy) ARMSTRONG (married Eileen CAVANAGH of St. George), Alec ARMSTRONG and Leslie ARMSTRONG (married Rene CAVANAGH of St. George)." Any further details on the above families would be greatly appreciated - please forward any information to my email address descrump@gil.com.au Additionally if you require further information on these family connections, I have some details that may assist your family history research.
