Hi all. At last, some concrete fact about the impending loss of the National Archives' facility at 996 Wynnum Road, Cannon Hill. I urge you to turn to page 36 of today's issue of "The Courier-Mail" (bottom right-hand corner in the Property Section). There you will see the photo advertisement for the auction (placed by CB Richard Ellis) that states: "Australian Archive Building, Brisbane: 996 Wynnum Road, Cannon Hill.

Hi Group, Is anyone researching the Ryan family of Cairns who lived in Lake St. in the late 1880's. The wife was Honorah Ryan nee Moran. Does anyone know anything about this family? Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Thais Hardman Melbourne

Lorraine He was Nicholas William James ANDREWARTHA, b. 1873 St Just in Penwith in Cornwall. He emigrated to Brisbane in 1892 in the company of a younger brother and was married at Herberton on 26 Jun 1893 to Alberta JOHNS, the d/o Stephen JOHNS and Jane WHITE. From that point, he just disappeared. A letter written by a Cornish solicitor in the early 1920s concerning the distribution of his maternal grandmother's estate noted that he was deceased but this solicitor went out of business many years ago and all his correspondence is 'missing', assumed destroyed. There is no apparent records in the Queensland or New South Wales deaths indexes published to date that could fit him and I understand that there are no records in the Herberton Mining Warden's reports that may refer to him. I have found no entries for him in the Queensland electoral rolls for the early 1900s. The 1926 death certificate for his spouse Alberta notes that she had been a resident in New South Wales for 33 years, and that would place her move from North Queensland about 1893, not long after their marriage. The JOHNS family history was recently completed by a JOHNs family researcher from Brisbane and she is even more perplexed than I am as to what may have happened back in 1893. I recently found a death record in South Africa's records for a William ANDREWARTHA born in England, a miner aged 21 who died on 21 Sep 1894 at Johannesburg Hospital. The certificate states parents unknown. My ANDREWARTHA records are quite extensive and looking through my indexes I can account for most William ANDREWARTHAs born c1873, with Nicholas William James ANDREWARTHA an exception, so I am trying to establish if the young man who married in Herberton in 1893 may have skipped town and headed for the gold-fields of Johannesburg. That about sums up what I know about him and the research on him to far. Any info you can find on him would be most appreciated. Incidentally, his brother's name was John Hill ANDREWARTHA. Cheers again from Sydney John

This is going to be a great website when they get back a bit farther. I noticed that some of the events took place in New Zealand, Australia & England, but show where in Clare the immigrant was from, so that will be a huge help to people who have records with just "Co Clare" as the place of birth.

I am trying to trace a miner who was at Herberton (Nth Qld) in the early 1890s and who died in Johannesburg in South Africa in 1897.

Hi. Have listers heard or read anything that confirms (or denies) moves by the Commonwealth Government to downsize and/or effectively close the office of the Australian Archives at Cannon Hill in Brisbane? My sources have evidently seen newspaper advertisements stating that the land on which the Australian Archives' office is located (996 Wynnum Road) has been placed on the market and the expectation is that the reading room will be phased out and the bulk of files are to be returned to head office, either in Canberra or Sydney/Melbourne. If this is the case, we are witnessing a tragic assault on the pursuit of history - especially genealogical research - in Queensland from which it will never fully recover. What a backhanded gift to the nation in its Centenary of Federation year...the lights are being turned off in Queensland! Will someone in authority please refute the suggestion that this Commonwealth Government would be so miserly as to pull the plug on such a phenomenal important collection of historic records located locally in Brisbane? If they're allowed to shut down Brisbane, then God help you historians with an office of the Australian Archives in Kelsey Crescent, Nightcliff, Northern Territory; or at 4 Rosny Hill Road, Rosny Park, Tasmania; or 384 Berwick Street, East Victoria Park, Western Australia; or at 11-13 Derlanger Avenue, Collinswood, South Australia. Perhaps we should all just move to Sydney, Melbourne or Canberra and stop pretending we are living in a Commonwealth of States and Territories...just the irritatingly distant outposts. Poor fellow my country. ~~~ Cheers, Peter Collins Brisbane, Australia E-mail: [email protected]

Hi List I am looking for any information regarding a solicitor, Percy Le Vaux, who arrived in Cairns about 1902. Would like to know any information about him, movements etc, before that date. I know his mother died in Toowoomba in 1905 so may have been associated with that area in the past. He married Mary Severin in Cairns in 1902 and they had one daughter, Teresa, who died when she was 2. Mrs Le Vaux died in New York in 1913. TIA Judy

Hi list If anyone has knowledge of, or knows where I can find information of the following boat, I would appreciate hearing from you. The Sea Breeze was a cutter, owned by Peter Lumberg of Cairns. It was engaged in the timber trade in Cairns, carrying on the Russell River and evacuated miners from the New Quinea Goldfield - all in the 1880's. I would like to know something of its history before the 1880s and after the turn of the century. TIA Judy
