Many thanks to Marge, Julie & Trev for helping me out again. Finally found a better map of the Sydney area - now if that had been London where I grew up I would know all the places and not have to ask - anyhow, your input is appreciated. Christine D.

Hello Listers Phil in England is trying to find some Aussie info about a rellie. Frederick William BISH was born in England in 1902 but married in Sydney (to Kathleen Mary AYLWARD) in 1927. Their first child was born here in 1928 and the second in England in 1934. Phil is trying to find out when Fred Wm came to Australia and exactly where he (and after marriage, they) lived. Here's what he says: "What we would like to know is when Frederick William BISH arrived in Australia and where he went ... "Presumably, they lived in Sydney but the only references we have found so far are conflicting Electoral Rolls for 1930 and 1931 where they may have been in Croydon, Martin, New South Wales or Burwood, Martin, New South Wales." I understand the 'Croydon' and 'Burwood' bits and wonder if 'Martin' was the sub-district with maybe a change of Electoral boundaries/names in 1930/31. Is anyone able to check any or all of the following please? a) Immigration Records pre-1927 (from, say, 1920) if they are available b) State and/or Federal Electoral Rolls c) Post Office Directories from 1920 to about 1933. I have found the Registration entries for Kathleen's birth and their marriage in the online NSW BDMs. Her birth is registered in Paddington and the marriage in Burwood. Many thanks Pam Beaudesert, Queensland, Australia

Hi Christine You've given Ethel CROMBIE's birth as February 1884, but she doesn't appear in the NSW birth indexes. Do you know where she was born, or parents' names? George YOUNG's d/c may not have given her name as his spouse if they were separated/divorced - just a thought. There are a lot of marriages in the NSW marriage indexes for Ethel YOUNG if she remarried, so you may be looking for the wrong person's death. Or it may simply have been left blank if the information was provided by someone who didn't know the full details, such as hospital staff. Putting their names into the death indexes as parents doesn't throw up any names of children up until 1978, but if they married in 1914 any children may have died after that date. At Rookwood Catholic Cemetery there is a burial for Ethel Elizabeth YOUNG, died aged 98 years, buried 7 July 1983, Section M2*5*150, which tallies approximately with Ethel's year of birth.

Hi Christine There really arent many Ethel YOUNGs in comparison to ones with middle names aka Ethel May ............. are alot of them I went thru the deaths on line and pick out the Ethel YOUNG who d Lismore in 1973 .

Hello Joan In the 1950s a Nipperess family lived at Nambour, Qld . Mr Nipperess senior had a working bullock team & was well known in the Nambour/Maroochydore district. He had at least 2 boys & daughters in his family . One of the "boys " is now a retired school teacher living in South East Qld somewhere. QUT University in Brisbane may give a lead as he attended a Reunion in recent years. Best of luck, Lance at Werribee . -------------------------------------------------- > Hello > > I am trying to locate a Miss Marcelle Nipperess, not sure which state she > lives in, but had research interests in 1994 in the ELSTON/NIPPERESS names > in Mudgee, NSW. > > I cannot find her in the whitepages.com so thought I'd try the list. > > Thank you for any help > Joan > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > AUS-NSW-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message >

Dear Listers, I found a few possible death notices for my relative, Ethel Crombie Young, (b. Feb. 1884), in the Ryerson index. My problem is that I have no idea where she died. She was married 1914 in Woollahra, husband George died in 1932 in Chatswood, and place names on photos suggest she might later have lived in Casino, Coraki & Mudgee. Are Greenacre, Glen Innes, Bondi Junction or Lismore near any of the aforementioned towns? Ethel was living in NSW in 1965 but that's all I know, and I have found discrepancies in her age - usually making her younger than she really was! I'm afraid the name is too common to pinpoint her in directories. Any other ideas? Secondly, I did send for her husband's death certificate, but nothing under spouse's name ("not given"), ditto for children. I was disappointed as his military record seemed to indicate otherwise, when he had pay deducted for his wife & children. Also, no wife or children named on his tombstone, and Ethel is not buried in that cemetery. So, I'm just curious if this was an exception to the usual practice? If so, can anyone offer an possible explanation? Of course I realize they may not have had any children. George's widow did not remarry. Greatly appreciative of any suggestions, Christine Draisey Iowa, USA

Hello I am trying to locate a Miss Marcelle Nipperess, not sure which state she lives in, but had research interests in 1994 in the ELSTON/NIPPERESS names in Mudgee, NSW. I cannot find her in the whitepages.com so thought I'd try the list. Thank you for any help Joan -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter. We are a community of 6 million users fighting spam.

Hello Grahame, I have not seen any answer on the list, so I do hope you have received some assistance off list. I am not sure what you are asking, or what your have at present. 1 Do you have the photos on a computer hard drive or flash drive ? have they been sent to you by email ? 2 Do you have a scanner that will enable you to scan the photos into the computer ? If none of the above, do you know someone with a scanner who can place them onto a disc or flashdrive ? Possibly your local library may be able to help. The object of the exercise is to get the photos into the computer. 3. from there any photo programme or word processor should be able to insert the photos into documents. 4. if you are using "Family Group Sheets" generated by a family tree programme, then most of the modern programmes will insert photos at the right spot once the photos are on a drive accessed by the computer i.e. hard drive, cd or flashdrive. To actually give instructions by email would be rather difficult, but by looking at the "help" section of the family tree programme or the photo/word processing program there should be instructions on how the "insert" photos. Good luck. ----- Original Message ----- From: <grahjam5@bigpond.net.au> To: <aus-nsw@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 16, 2009 8:24 PM Subject: [AUS-NSW] HELP PLEASE WITH PHOTOS > Hi Everyone > > I am putting a book together and would like to know how to transfer old photos and place them on to Family Group Sheets. > > Regards > > Grahame > > > > > > Grahame James > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to AUS-NSW-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

I have found that all the children to Francis and Julia O"Brien (nee Hanlon) births were registered at Narrandera. Firstly can someone please tell me where this is. The children are Bridget 1897 Mary M 1902 Cicely 1904 and Frances 1904. I have been trying to find the family on the electoral rolls, but really do not know what district to look for. Can someone help me please. I am new at looking for Australian information. Many thanks Ann (NZ)

I have found the following marriage on BDM NSW web site and was hoping that someone could inform me as to why there is four listings for this couple. 7076/1895 O'BRIEN FRANCIS HANLON JULIA GUNNEDAH 7076/1895 OBRIEN FRANCIS HANLON JULIA GUNNEDAH 7096/1895 O'BRIEN FRANCIS HANLON JULIA HAY 7096/1895 OBRIEN FRANCIS HANLON JULIA HAY Thanks Ann (NZ)

Hi Ann, Yes, all places mentioned are in NSW. The link I sent is to the Australian online maps/street directory. Use the slider on the left-hand side to expand to the State to show where the towns are, or type the name of a town in the search box under Address. Click onto the Directions box to type in two places if you want to find how far distant they are from each other. On the map there is a town named Gillenbah just outside of Narrandera. I am wondering if the person who transcribed the marriage record had difficulty deciphering the placename and has entered the marriage entry twice to cover the difference in spelling? I've come across this situation before, so it might explain why there are four entries, and also explain why the two marriage entries appear to be nearly 800kms apart. Some notes on Gillenbah and Narrandera - http://www.wagga.nsw.gov.au/resources/documents/Short_History_Riverina_Wheat_Industry.pdf Cheers Trish > Trish, thanks for that.

Would anyone have the 1879 NSW Police Gazette and be kind enough to do a look up please. Thanks Helen

Hi Ann, The system throws up two listings for names with an apostrophe, in case someone is searching for the spelling either one way or the other; you will find the children of this couple all have two entries as well. No idea why the marriage is registered in Gunnedah and Hay though, as they are 780kms apart, I haven't come across this before - maybe they married twice, in each of their home towns? I couldn't find any mention on the Australian newspapers site of the marriage.

Hi Jean, If the death date is towards the end of 1965 the registration maybe 1966. Have you tried entering a wider span of year to year, it maybe a typo error. I found an entry once that had the first name as the surname and the surname as the first name. And many names and districts have been entered with typing errors. Death certificates can be sometimes located in probate records. My gg fathers death certificate issued by NSW BDM is different to the one located in his probate records. The one from probate has all details recorded. The coroner was the informant on both certificates. The death date was 1877 and the NSW BDM issued certificate was not a registration until 1913 and no reason was recorded in the register for the delay in the registration. Check with the funeral directors if they have any other information in their records. Contact with other people tracing the same family may be helpful.
