Hi Josephine, Thanks for your help you have filled in some gaps for me. I don't have John's death but you have narrowed it down a little. My Grandmother is Elizabeth Jane Scanes (Robinson) born 1907 parents John Robinson & Elizabeth Hillier.. My Uncle (mum's brother) is still alive but says they didn't talk about those things. Other cousins that I have talked to don't know anything or don't want to talk. So for now I will wait for the info to come from Trove & hope it helps me find out some more about John. Cheers Ann. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2013 7:01 PM To: [email protected] Subject: AUS-NSW Digest, Vol 8, Issue 16 Today's Topics: 1.

Hi Ann, I went onto the Trove website and in the searchbox typed - "Sarah Robinson" Gunning - and got a few hits. One article, in the Goulburn Evening Penny Post (coming soon) relates to - "assaulted his wife, Sarah Robinson" in an aggravated manner with intent to inflict grievous bodily harm". It might be worth your while to check back to see this full article when its scanned, as it may have the information you are looking for - http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/result?q=%22sarah+robinson%22+gunning&l-decade=188 Cheers Trish Nowra NSW > Hello, I am searching for a John Robinson born about 1829-1836 in England. > I know that he married Sarah Jones(nee Nibett) in 1863.

Hi Ann The Robinson family appear on the 1903 electoral Roll in the town of Lade Vale, Werriwa Division, Berrebangalo. i.e. Sarah, Sarah Jnr., Elizabeth, John, Samuel, Robert William and an Alfred Sheldrick. John a farmer. I suppose he could be a son and not the father as doesn't give relationship. The girls, domestic duties and the males, labourers. Cheers Joan Hello, I am searching for a John Robinson born about 1829-1836 in England. I know that he married Sarah Jones(nee Nibett) in 1863. Sarah died in 1920 in Gunning. Not one family member will comment about John, saying no-one talked about those things. I hope that someone out there can help me. Ann.

The person was Alfred Charles WESTCOTT, I'd like to hear from anyone interested in the Westcott's, his wife was Elizabeth Gertrude KULMAR H Marion He appears to have stopped the world and got off c 1954 . He is in the electoral rolls to 1954 as a caretaker of Mutch's Timber Yard , Junee .Was that for quite a few years. This family WESTCOTT is in Ancestrys public trees His wife d 1923 and looks like 3 of his four children died as infants . I wonder why Junee ? Was a major Railway town http://www.roundhousemuseum.com.au/ The MUTCH family of Junee is also in Ancestrys public trees. Be worth an email to see if any family memory of Alfred ??? ,> I will look for a will on Ancestry at the library when I have a free morning. Aus Wills not on Ancestry . NSW State Records holds these records. No ref to Alfred leaving a will but there is to him nicking a horse ! See http://srwww.records.nsw.gov.au/indexsearch/keyname.aspx type in Alfred WESTCOTT . There is no copy service for that set of records Might be a ref in Trove ? Bye MargM Beautiful NSW Central Coast

Doesn't appear to be on line except for the pioneer cemetery . Did they live in that area ? Did they leave a will ? Ancestry have Electoral rolls , death and cemetery indexes etc etc Bye MargM Beautiful NSW Central Coast

Hi Marion, If the death took place towards the end of the year it may not have been registered until 1956. Have you checked the Ryerson Index to see if there is a death notice published? If you could post the name you are researching someone on the List may be able to help you track down the information you are after. Cheers Trish Nowra NSW I found the burial of a family member on the Familysearch Cemetery Index Cards but the death does not appear on the NSW BDM, I searched using various spellings of the surname etc. The date is 1955 so not if the was a notice in the Newpaper I cannot find it as it is not yet on Trove.

Have you tried 'googling' Junee Cemetery Marion ? cheers Lyn

Hi Marion You could try the Australian Cemeteries site - there is an entry for the Junee Pioneer Cemetery which has a plaque listing burials in the cemetery http://www.australiancemeteries.com/nsw/junee/juneeold.htm Regards Jan -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of symonds3 Sent: Sunday, 27 January 2013 7:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AUS-NSW] Familysearch Cemetery Cards Hi Marion, If the death took place towards the end of the year it may not have been registered until 1956.

I came across this site while looking at cemeteries, it is for NSW and other parts of Australia and may interest anyone has not yet seen it. There is a photo of  John Augustus Emile Harris, he claimed to be 18 when he enrolled, he died  at Galipolli 8th Aug 1915, his age -15 years and 10 months. I don't think anyone would have mistaken him for an 18 year old.   www.gravesecrets.net/wwi-pictorial-honour-rolls.html
