G'Day to all the List members. With many thanks to both Dawn and Helen, for their guidance, we'll post our interests once again, on this most quiet of lists. H. V. BERESFORD took a job as construction engineer on the HUME WEIR, c: 1925, and by 1927, he had died there. I'm appealing to anyone reading this posting that may have information about this man please. He was in BOOROWA, N.S.W. prior to his venture onto the construction site. Does anyone know if there are such records kept, as the personnel roll of workers that constructed the HUME WEIR etc. This information may include accidental deaths as well as other means. Kind Regards, Ian & Glad, "Genealogy-Where you confuse the dead and irritate the living".

Hello Ian and Glad I can't help with H V Beresford, but one of my family Jacob Gehrig, was also killed at the Hume Weir, he and two others, George Pearce and William wakeford, from an explosion on the 25 Oct 1921. There is a rather graphic description of the accident in the Albury Banner dated Fri 28 Oct 1921. It may be well worth your while trying that avenue for the 1927 accident Mentioned within the article is Frederick Davis Beresford, an employee of the works stated .......
