Hi everyone, Would anyone be able to tell me if there is a site on the internet that has photographs of gravestones from Wilberforce cemetery (Sackville road)? Many thanks!

Thanks for sharing this report Maureen. It would have to be the most horrific report I have ever read. It reminded me a bit of this site that I had bookmarked ; http://home.iprimus.com.au/yarragon/ About 10 years ago there were fires on the mountains surrounding the village where we lived......it was so hot that the very air felt like it was going to explode.......and windy as.....!! We knew we were safe, there being very few trees in and around the village and lots of low grassy paddocks between us and the fires .....but still it was one of the worst / fearful days I have spent. Multiplying that fear out 1000 times would be somewhere near the horror those poor beggars experienced in this report.

Windsor & Richmond Gazette, Saturday, March 3, 1900 Supplement from The Daily Telegraph, Thursday, March 1, 1900 Second edition, 2.30 a.m. BUSH FIRES IN GIPPSLAND. SCORES OF SETTLERS HOMELESS SOME SENSATIONAL INCIDENTS. DAMAGE OVER £100,000 Melbourne. Wednesday. - Bush fires are still raging through North Gippsland, and are spreading themselves in the ranges north of Maffra with amazing rapidity and great destructiveness. Last week a number of comfortable farms and homesteads spread over the landscape ; to-day it is a mass of smoking and charred ruins. Scores of settlers are homeless. Cultivation areas and grazing lands have been swept bare. Buildings, fences , stacks, and stock are things of the past. Over great and ever-increasing area, which is mildly reckoned to include hundreds of thousands of acres, the hillsides to-night afford a magnificent spectacle. It would be a grander one almost than a battle, were it a little less devastating; but it looks like a blaze of torches winding in and out like a marching army, with flaring banners, and every tree-top looks like a mammoth electric light, only a hundredfold stronger. Beating was of little use when the fires, fanned by the strong wind, reached the log fences and dried trees. To-night the desolation of despair has conquered the fire-fighters of yesterday. As stated last night, the Glenmaggie fire is known to have been responsible for three lives. Michael Curtain and his wife perished together while loading an old waggonette with their furniture. The horse was terror-stricken; neither whip nor kindness could move it. As a last resource the two old people themselves got between the shafts and started to haul the vehicle to the water. They had reached the edge of the creek when the old man, choking and suffocated, fell to the ground. His faithful wife, with an agonizing cry, fell upon him, dazed and stupefied. The flames passed over them and left them a heap of charred and unrecognizable remains. Little Sammy Trew's fate was equally pathetic. The Dawes family were escaping with wet blankets round their heads. "There are not enough for us all," said Sammy handing his over to his sister, "I will go back and get another." He rushed into the door of the flaming building, the roof feel [sic] in with a crash, and he was se! en no more. When his parents and brothers and sisters came out of the water tank in which they lay whilst the fire swept over and around them they collected all that remained of this devoted lad in an iron bucket. So suddenly did the fires spring up and rush forward and so black and dense was the smoke that people could hardly distinguish each other a few yards away. Horses and sheep and cattle were in a death trap. They stood wildly at bay and were roasted. The people made for the nearest creek or waterhole, and, then, up to their necks, , kept immersing their heads as the flying, flaming gum leaves singed their hair and rendered that operation absolutely essential. A Mr. Curtain came down from Glenmaggie with a two-horse team. He lashed them along a bush track at a fearful rate. It was a mad race with the flames, but the flames prevailed; therefore, when his buggy caught fire he promptly jumped out and flew for his life for the nearest creek. The horses, when found afterwards, were raw, and their legs had been burnt off. Numerous incidents of narrow escapes could be given. Cows are wandering about in agony with their tails burnt off; horses wandering aimlessly about withou! t lips, ears or tails. Miss Coleman, the State school teacher, of Upper Wadelock, saved her school. She got her younger pupils to a place of safety, and with the elder boys successfully burned a strip round the school. Just below the school was a splendid homestead, but it was swept away with remorseless speed. Mr. and Mrs. Missen stood in a creek for four hours, and Mrs. Missen is now seriously ill. Culverts and bridges have been swept away, and the damage must come well into six figures. Already relief meetings are being called, and the Government is likely to do something. Late to-night the fires were still burning, but they cannot do much further damage. From other parts of the colony come accounts of narrow escapes and of great losses in grass and fencing. Grave fears are entertained for the safety of the Hospital Creek. It is reported, but not confirmed, that the fires have swept the settlement out of existence. The worst of the fires is now said to be over.

Hi Sally I guess you mean the convict who arrived on the transport Asia III in 1825 ?? and who was granted permission to marry Eliza McIntosh in 1827 ??? Sally, :)) it is best to give as much information as you can when asking a question, otherwise you will receive lots of emails that will be of no use to you at all....... and you will have to write back to everyone thanking them......... for useless information.

Hi to all listers, I want to urge you all, if you are looking for someone who may have already researched one of your family members, or any information at all. Try google. http://www.google.com.au/ I have just had 2 big successes in as many days. Remember to always click the button for search in Australia only. And if you are looking up a name e.g. Joe Bloggs put it in as so "joe bloggs" or, you can click on the advanced search function and you may want to include a place so searching for the exact words joe bloggs and also include the word e.g. windsor that way you can narrow down your searching if you get a lot of hits. Just remember that anything you find, no matter how reliable you think that contact person is, it still needs to be fully checked and backed up with NSW BDM certificates etc. Jo

Windsor & Richmond Gazette, Saturday, March 3, 1900 - page 3 Town Gossip Mr. Maurice Gerald is taking orders for a splendid dictionary. A man we know gave an order for one, but we would advise the Shaughraun to get payment in advance, otherwise he'll never get it - until he takes the case to the Small Debts Court. A tip-top turnout - hooded buggy, horse and harness - together with a quantity of cigars, brushware and cutlery, will be sold by auction at the Royal Exchange Hotel, Windsor, at 3 p.m. this day (Friday). Mr. W. Gosper is the auctioneer. Mr. J. C. L. Fitzpatrick, President of the Royal Commission on Creswell, has received letters anent the case from correspondents in all parts of the Empire - the latest being from Nova Scotia, Canada, enclosing a clipping from the "Montreal Star." We are pleased to report that Mr. Nettleship, B.A., assistant at the local Superior Public School, who was suddenly attacked with what threatened to be a severe illness, is now rapidly recovering. He has been ordered to Manly for a change, prior to resuming duty on the 13th instant. Mr. A. Montgomery, of Windsor, was intimately acquainted with Mr. W. J. Lambie, war correspondent recently killed in South Africa. So was Mr. G. C. Johnson. Poor Lambie was not the "Daily Telegraph" correspondent, as was generally supposed. He really belonged to the "Melbourne Age," and his copy, much cut down, reached Sydney by an office arrangement. Mr. L. A. Simpson, dentist, has moved his surgery form the Royal Hotel to more commodious and private apartments, and in future may be consulted at the Fitzroy Hotel. Mr. Simpson will not attend next Wednesday, the 7th inst., owing to business arrangements, but will be in attendance on Wednesday, 14th. Patients will kindly note the new address. Thus "Truth" : "Among the South Australian second contingent is Corporal Harry Morant, better known as 'The Breaker' of the 'Bulletin'. If Morant had gone for N.S.W contingent he would probably have been 'spun' for bad riding." It is now asserted that Morant has skipped back to Sydney, and that a Windsor man saw him there not many days ago. The same old "Breaker" ! It is to be deplored that respectable citizens cannot take a short drive on a Sunday without being subjected to the unsavoury attentions of sharping ghouls whose object in life seems to be the "spoiling" of his neighbour. The leading members of this gang are well known to be lazy bummers, who neither toil nor spin - unless it be nets for the unwary - whose language is of the bottomless pit, and to whom a William goat's morals would appear saint-like. Such social pests are a menace to society. Cannot their little games o' Sundays be strangled ? The Lyne Government, having decided to provide work for the unemployed on reproductive works on the harbours and rivers of the colony, we think that some consideration should be given to the Hawkesbury River, which has shoaled up so badly of late years near Windsor. Experts say the work of deepening the channel is practicable, and if the river traffic between Windsor and the Lower Hawkesbury could be restored, the work would be eminently reproductive. It would add greatly to the railway revenue, and benefit the town. The cost would be insignificant when the benefits to be derived are considered. A pitiful case of youthful immorality came before the Police Court on Tuesday.

Hi Marilyn, I made a mistake with the year, Cornelius was born 1830 at Windsor. Thanks to you and Jo for all your efforts. Cheers Sally -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition. Version: 7.1.385 / Virus Database: 268.3.5/300 - Release Date: 3/04/2006

Windsor & Richmond Gazette, Saturday, March 3, 1900 - page 12 Riverstone. Mr. F. J. Jones secured three prizes for eggs at the late Liverpool Show. Whips of wood is coming in now, and the two mills in the railway yard are kept going. A number of local people visited Sydney, last Wednesday, to witness the procession and departure of the Bushman's Contingent. Trooper H. Drinkwater, of Rouse Hill, who left with the Bushman's Contingent on Wednesday, paid his relatives a visit on the Monday previous. Mr. George Ireland, senr., was away in Sydney this week attending the Supreme Court. He was a witness in the disputed ownership of a racing pony he sold several years ago. Divine Service was held in St. Paul's Church on Sunday morning at 10.30, and next Sunday being the fist Sunday in the month it will be held at the same hour. Holy Communion will be administered. Water is becoming scarce, and most of the local tanks have given out. The excessive heat of last week absorbed pretty well all the moisture that had been left in the ground, and the pastures are brown and parched. After paying all expenses a balance of £5 remains to the R. C. Committee in connection with the picnic on New Year's Day. We understand that the church adherents intend holding a calico dance at Easter time. Mr. John Hayes, who succeeded Mr. Daley as ganger on the railway line, was 18 years at Wagga before coming to Riverstone. Wagga is supposed to be a sweltering country, but Mr. Hayes says he never felt the heat there more than he has done down here. Jack Flynn, who was only quite a lad at Mr. P. Lenz's a few years ago, is now in South Africa, having gone there with the contingent which left Sydney about the middle of January. Mr. Harold Searle, another well-known identity about here, has gone with the Bushmen. Mr. Bourne, for some time blacksmith at the meat works, has left, and Mr. McCarthy, lately of McGrath's Hill, takes his place. Other changes have taken place at the meat works. Mr. E. Mellish, formerly watchman, has also left, and Mr. Dave Cummins fills the vacancy. We were represented by three cricketers in the inter-electorate match at Windsor on Wednesday, and all of them - C. Daley, J. Myers, and A. Maguire - did well. Our cricketers are confident that they can defeat Richmond on Saturday. Well. They have a leg-in, anyhow. The benefit concert in aid of Mr. George Scholey takes place in the Oddfellow's Hall to-night (Saturday). The object is a deserving one, and there is little fear but that the good hearted people of Riverstone will give it loyal support. There will be a dance after the concert. The annual tea-meeting of St. Paul's Church of England takes place on Wednesday, March 14th, in the School Hall. Tea will be on the tables from 5.30 till 7 p.m., and at night there will be a concert. The modest sum of 1/- is asked for admission to the tea and concert, and we feel sure that the adherents of the church and their friends will make the dual event the success it deserves to be. Mr. E. Vaughan is hon. secretary and Dr. Studdy hon. treasurer. It has been said that the local cricket club has a "tail" - and a big one, but it would seem by recent matches that the "tail" has developed into the strongest joint of the team. In the last two matches our club has been engaged in the ninth and tenth men have rendered valuable help - in fact they have got their side out of a tight place by their determined and plucky batting. All old cricketers are also pleased to see the veteran, Sam Mason, shaping so well after keeping off cricket for three or four years.

Hello List, Could B. Hall or A. Wilson please contact me regarding the above mentioned. Both contributed to the information provided in the Hawkesbury Register Vol.2. The two emails in the volume appear to be out of date and I would appreciate having some communication with you. Best wishes Ruza
