How interesting! I spend half my life in the old newspapers (via the link I gave to Ruth). Now I suppose I will be compelled to spend the remaining half in the other categories. When do I sleep???????? Think I'll start with Music, sound & video. Barbara

Margery, There is an Ivy I. STANLEY, born Canterbury 1913 (42334), daughter of Elijah L. STANLEY & Ivy I. BURROWS. This couple married at Canterbury 1913 (6733). Siblings to Ivy are Albertha E., born Canterbury1915 (30249) & Jacob V., born Canterbury 1917 (29423). Cheers, Jules. Warren, NSW. (But, still a Queensland girl) julie.dern@bigpond.com http://derngenealogy.tribalpages.com

I would appreciate a lookup for the birth of Ivy Isabel Mavis (or any mixture of those names) STANLEY believed to have been born in December, 1913. Not sure where in NSW. With thanks, Margery

It was a abbatoir. http://newspapers.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/search?searchTerm=roger%27s+meat+company&textSearchScope=full&facet=titleid:35 The search needs narrowing down a bit. Unless you want to go through the 9128 reference :-) Cheers

Hi Ruth There is a historical society in Orange - and very good they are too - they should be able to help you with your query. Just google Orange Historical Society and they have an email address for contact. Cheers Annette in Cowra NSW

Hello Everyone, I have been going through the electoral rolls found on Ancestry and I've found a family member Annie Victoria Alberta McDonald and her husband John McDonald on the 1943 roll in the subdivision of Orange. Their place of residence is given as 'Rogers Meat Coy' Johns occupation is foreman while Annie is doing home duties. I know that John was also a slaughterman so I imagine it is a slaughterhouse or butchers.... My question is does anyone know of 'Rogers Meat Coy' or where I might find more information? Kind regards Ruth

Hi Ruth go to Google type in "Trove" you can then search the newspapers for Rogers Meat Coy. sample below as to what you can find: Sydney Morning Herald, 22 April 1933 Orange – The sale of the Orange Abattoirs has been completed the purchasers being the Rogers Meat Company, of Sydney, whose intention it is to effect considerable alterations and improvements to the already extensive, plant, machinery, and buildings Sydney Morning Herald, 11 November 1942 Roll of Honour McDonald Oct 23 1942 Killed in action Egypt, Pte Harry Mcdonald of Lidcombe loved son of Mr And Mrs O J McDonald Rogers Meat coy.

My grandpa's name was Howard Clive Engstrom. He obtained a copy of his birth certificate and the name was written out as Howard Olive. I've seen the original on microfiche and the name is clearly Clive. Someone who was not really concentrating on the job had misread the the original handwriting when it was transcribed onto the certified copy.

Hi Michelle I haven't seen any replies to look up request so thought I might be able to help you. I don't have access to the Glen Innes papers but if you pull up the State Library of NSW website and look down the side for the 'Ask A Librarian"....you can then email them and ask them to look it up for you. They have all the newspapers there and as you come from NZ it should not be a problem. I actually lived in Glen from 1989-2004. Cheers Annette in Cowra NSW

Hi Christine, Guess the handwriting of "O"live could well be mistaken for "Cl" !!!! I can recall seeing handwritten capital "O"s which could easily have passed for a C closely followed by an "l" Cheers Ainslie.

I have a modern day nightmare My frinds dad died 1963 and that is normal BUT when we went to bury another family member in the same grave we were told that we could not because Olive Gentle was in the grave not Clive....so we had to bury them elsewhere then we checked the certs and sure enough this is what we found 28969/1963 GENTLE OLIVE ANDREW CHARLES ALFRED KATIE WOLLONGONG not Clive Andrew Moral to the story always get someone not too close to the death to do the paper work because filling if forms is difficult with tears in the eyes Celia

Hi Kerrie My gg and g grandmother are both buried in pauper's graves at Rookwood in 1874 & 1897 respectively, although no strange entries were shown on the index, however when I rang Rookwood they said it was shown on the record that the grave of my gg grandmother stated "never to be opened". Both died of tuberculosis. So there may be some record on the original burial record that will help discover the strange notification, as you mentioned in your earlier email. There were no funeral notices for these ladies either.

Here is a reply which I got (on another board) to a query about the burial of a suicide - "If he was penniless or a pauper then a govt burial would have occurred in a public grave and if known in a RC area, but not in a family plot, unless he had the finances or his family had the finances to pay and were willing to pay. I f a govt burial then he'd be buried in the nearest cemetery to where he died and the undertaker would lodge 1 funeral notice. If family were paying they may have been embarrised by the situation and had a private burial thus no newspaper notices." Cheers Cheers

The Watson family were very poor and if he is my Charles Watson he may have been buried in a pauper's grave. I had checked for a funeral notice but wasn't surprised when I didn't find one as they probably couldn't afford the expense. Thanks for all the interesting comments.
