Currently only about 20 of the approximate 100 NSW regional papers that are being indexed , have a volunteer available to do look ups. As an attempt to remedy this, up to 8 volunteers are being sought, preferably new to Ryerson volunteering. Might you or some friends be available to do look ups at the State Library about once a month. Requirements : ability to get to the NSW State Library                                 A library membership card – they are free to any NSW resident                                 A willingness to have a cuppa and chat with like minded people at Trim Cafe at the library                                 An aversion to formal meetings and copious minutes                                       Availability on Tuesday 4th June for a one off training session at the State Library of 2 hours at either 9.30 or 11.30 for a maximum of 4 people each session. Please send questions or requests for information direct to me. Regards, David Central Coast NSW [email protected]

It looks like it was only a temporary problem. The site is again up and running.

Good Morning List, During this week I attended State Records where I have not been for a while and found that O’Connell Street, the road outside State Records is to be closed for several months from tomorrow so that it can be completely rebuilt. This seriously affects access to State Records and an alternative access has been created at the front of State Records, but to get to it from the Great Western Highway, Gipps Street, Sunflower Drive and O’Connell Street will have to be used. Importantly for people attending by bus there will be a twenty minute walk from the nearest Bus Stop during these works. I have a copy of the information from State Records so email me off list if needed. Sincerely, Bill Shute --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com

Thank you Allan, I am receiving wonder information from so many on this Site. I am going to look it up now.

Yes, I did come across the wife of one of the Christies brothers Samuel Tolfrey Christie, that she was with him at Lucknow. When she returned to England she was never the same and died in an asylum. The Christie brothers served some time in the NSW Colony. Actually Samuel Tolfrey Christie was involved in an incident called the 'Waterloo Creek Massacre' or Slaughterhouse Creek Massacre' which took place near the Gwydir River, with Major James Nunn. He and Nunn were in the 80th Foot Regiment of Mounted Police. Samuel left the Colony when he had served his time here, however William his brother remained and became the first Post Master General in the Colony.

Some wives were permitted to accompany the men and served in the role of cooks, washerwomen and nurses. There were regulations regarding the ratio of women to soldiers. My understanding so far is that surplus wives were left behind. You have given me a bit of an idea about how they may have survived.

Hi Ray, Thank you so much for the information, I will do as you have suggested. Cheers, Janice -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2018 7:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [HHHV] Re: Stephen Compton Janice. To follow up on UK military connections, I suggest that you go to the website for TNA (The National Archives) (UK); then use their catalogue search facility. If you enter the surname COMPTON that might give you some results. A more targeted search, using the WO code (for War Office) as well as the name of COMPTON should give results only pertaining to the military — but ever since they changed form their former Procat site, I have been unable to learn how to incorporate that into current searches.

I suppose I could order a copy through our local Library.  I have been carrying out more research over the past few weeks and I have been able to prove a theory that I had.  That Stephen's father Robert was and maybe even his grandfather Joseph were in the Military and they were stationed in Dorset. Robert and his son Stephen and sister Jane were all born in Tarrant Monkton in Dorset. I found a document titled "Mitilia"dated 1809, where the wife of Private Robert Compton would receive a payment of eight shillings by the Overseers of the Poor for Support and Maintenance in the Parish of Poole. This usually means that the Soldier was in Europe or India or even Colonial Australia carrying out Military duties.  I found that there was a Army Barracks in Dorset.  What got me thinking that this was the case, was Robert Compton and his family moving from Dorset to the Isle of Wight. Another family I had researched for a friend, the Christies, were a Military family for generations and the two brothers, with their wives and children were moved from Lancashire to the Isle of Wight, where at that time were many families of troops who were stationed overseas. Thank you very much for the information regarding the book and just maybe there could be information about the family's connection to the Military.

Can I also recommend "Following the Drum" by Annabel Venning "The Lives of Army Wives and Daughters Past and Present". I have an interest in this subject, particularly the wives left behind when the soldiers served overseas. Some wives were permitted to accompany the men and served in the role of cooks, washerwomen and nurses. There were regulations regarding the ratio of women to soldiers. My understanding so far is that surplus wives were left behind. You have given me a bit of an idea about how they may have survived.
