Dear researchers. Someone out there has been looking for TREVASKIS. I know because I met someone of that name when I was working in Moree about 1943-46. She was staying at the same hotel and I don't think she was a local so don't know any more and naturally didn't pass on this mine of information. But I just saw the name again, William 32, Mary 30, William 12, Anne 9, and James 6, all arrived Rockhampton 11 July 1874. on sailing ship AGRA from London. This and loads of other interesting things on http://sites.archivenet.gov.au/Mariners/ Frank Cardiff East Gosford NSW 2250 Australia

Good evening listers Sorry can't help with the internment camp. Perhaps someone can help me with information about Jilliby Cemetery. I know that details about this cemetery have recently been discussed but as at that time I didn't KNOW I had an interest there so I didn't take too much notice of it (well I didn't make a hard copy of it) Could I have a replay please ??

Hi Marg The Rootsweb list, [email protected] archives may help you. I seem to remember there were several internment places mentioned at some time. Also mentioned were ways some avoided internment. The list does not have huge numbers of queries so it should not be a long search. Of course, it is basically related to Germans in SE QLD but other info. related to German immigrants turn up from time to time. I only recently unsubscribed from this list otherwise I would post a query for you. Good luck Rhonda Paine, Central Mangrove 2250.

Dear Listers A question was asked of me today that I couldnt even hazard a guess at an answer . Was there an internment camp on the Central Coast during WW2 ??? I know of one that was out at Hay but no other in NSW ??. The internee concerned was named Paul SCHMIDT , born in Germany and its thought never got around to be naturalised . He would have been in his late sixties c 1940 and left Germany has a very young man and never went back there. He either had an orchard here or worked as an orchardist for some one in the CC area Can anyone help ? Thanks bye Marg Morters NSW Central Coast Mailing List Gosford, NSW Australia [email protected]

Ann Musgrove asked about the existence of headstones at Pioneer Park, the old Point Frederick Cemetery at Gosford: Unfortunately many headstones were stolen or damaged over the decades (vandals aren't a modern phenomenon!). As a matter of fact, when we came to live in Gosford at the end of 1958, we lived in a house in Albany Street, very close to the cemetery. I can remember the late night weekend parties that went on in the overgrown cemetery at times, and I am sure that headstones occasionally disappeared - certainly many were cracked and otherwise damaged. On this subject, a notice in "The Gosford Times" issue of 3 Feb 1921 (for instance) noted that graves had been desecrated at Point Frederick and a reward was offered for information. No wonder that relatively few headstones survive today. Prior to Pioneer Park being started, the cemetery was very overgrown, though periodic attempts were made to tidy it. In a few instances, a large tree could be seen growing on a burial site with the grave's ornamental cast iron fence still surrounding the trunk. Headstones still in existence were temporarily removed, then rearranged in groups during the work carried out by Gosford Shire Council and Gosford Rotary and Apex Clubs. The Park opened in 1977 after 10 years of discussion, planning and endeavour. It is a most popular place with visitors. You can walk to the end of the elevated Point where a few steps down will take you to the water's edge for a marvellous panoramic view of Brisbane Water. Along the sides of the Park are wonderful water views through the many old trees, mainly ironbarks, that dot the whole area. Point Frederick (once also referred to as Longnose Point) is a long finger of land pointing into the Broadwater at the south end of the Gosford town centre. The names of "497 persons buried between 1840 and 1953" (commemorative booklet) are inscribed on metal plaques on the memorial designed by local artist and sculptor Alton Mort. This is in the form of a tree trunk, symboli sing the early timber industry which brought so many people to the area. Gwen

Ann, only some remain. I grew up in the next street and the cemetery which dates to the 1840's had fallen into disrepair through neglect by the 1970's. That was the era when they made cemeteries into public parks and quite a few headstones have been saved and been re erected in rough family groupings in gardens. It is a beautiful spot at the very tip of a long narrow peninsula called Pt Frederick. It's a popular park and people often have picnics there or get married etc and it is well maintained by the Council. There is an obelisk there which lists all the known burials -which was erected by a joint project of Council and Service clubs like Apex when it became a park. Quite a few of my SMITH and CAIN headstones survive there and my visitors are given the obligatory tour to see them and the spot. Judy Gifford

Dear Gwen Thanks for that update - he is my William Booth and I'm glad he has been found. His wife remarried and is buried at Cooranbong hence no other graves of his family at Point Frederick.

An enquiry, which I answered, was in connection with the possible existence of a booklet relating to Pt Frederick Cemetery at Gosford. I replied that yes, there was a booklet given out at the time of the cemetery's conversion to Pioneer Park. The opening of the Park was on 26 Feb, 1977 and I attended the event. Unfortunately I overlooked William Booth's name when checking out the booklet and must apologise to the enquirer. William Booth IS shown in the booklet as buried at Pt Frederick on 26 November 1861 aged 50 years. No other persons of this surname though. As for George Ingram whose name was quoted as the undertaker - a couple named George and Eliza Ingram were living in the Gosford district (exact place not known to me) at the time of Booth's death. Their children included twins Elizabeth and Georgina who were born in 1862 - Georgina died aged 9 months and was buried in Point Frederick Cemetery. Regards, Gwen
