Dear Jennie, There are SINGLETON graves at WILBERFORCE Cemetery. I think one of them might be a Sarah. They are to the left from the entrance gate on the end furthest away in about the second or third row.

Hi Neville, Was Sarah Singleton a daughter of William Singleton & Hannah Parkinson (my 3x great grandparents)? Jennie Matheson (nee Bellamy) ----- Original Message ----- From: "NEVILLE SIBERY" <n.sibery929@btinternet.com> To: <AUS-NSW-HILLS-HAWKESBURY-HUNTER-VALLEY@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 08, 2009 8:10 PM Subject: [HHHV] Introduction. I start with a Third Fleet convict,Charles Sibery (may be recordedas Sebery).Then I have a Thomas Sibery who marries Sarah Singleton at Windsor and dies within a few years.From some such origins - I have not been able to make directconnections - I find families of Sibreys at Portland Head and Wilberforce,and later associations with the same name and that of Singleton (and indeed Reynolds,as Sarah later married into that family) in the Hawkesbury Valley area.Do any bells ring ?

Thank you greatly for this link Michelle. I have spent all of today avidly reading the entire site. What a beautiful person William DAWES appears to be from his entries. And how wonderful to be able to read his side-comments and at times to be able to almost visualise the scene. And to even be able to date those little conversations! Wow! What a wonderful source! But I had a laugh at the translation for Bora, which I had been brought up to know as a sacred cermonial site. Whenever I read this word in the future, I will have a smile on my face. Thanks so much Michelle for providing such a glorious site. Season's Greetings: Ray ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michelle Nichols" ... THE NOTEBOOKS OF WILLIAM DAWES ON THE ABORIGINAL LANGUAGE OF SYDNEY ... available online at http://www.williamdawes.org/

You may be interested to know that THE NOTEBOOKS OF WILLIAM DAWES ON THE ABORIGINAL LANGUAGE OF SYDNEY was recently launched at Macquarie University and is now available online at http://www.williamdawes.org/ "These previously unpublished documents are unique and represent some of the earliest written records of Australian Indigenous language and culture. This project and launch is supported by Aboriginal Affairs NSW, the Endangered Languages Project at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, and the Darug Community." This is a great site with interesting features including a story that can be listened to in both Darug and English. Another interesting feature is the Links and references at http://www.williamdawes.org/refs.html where the references/bibliography are linked to online versions. For those of you who read the "The lieutenant" by Kate Grenville, her character Daniel Rooke, a First Fleet soldier and astronomer, was inspired by the Dawes notebooks. Michelle Nichols

Thanks Michelle, I'll look for the book. Patricia >From memory Patricia There were something like 80 - 130 wharves along the eastern shore of Darling Harbour - during the 1830's to late 1800's - not sure when the trains started to knock out the ferry usage which served the Hunter, Hawkesbury, up to Parramatta and south to the Illawara. A great book is Sydney Takes Shape - a History in Maps by Paul Ashton and Duncan Waterson # Paperback: 78 pages # Publisher: Hema Maps Pty.Ltd; Revised edition (June 2000) # Language: English # ISBN-10: 1865000728 # ISBN-13: 978-1865000725 The State Library used to carry these.

Is anyone on the list researching Bartholomew TURNBULL and his wife, Jane nee DAVIS who married in 1862. Am particularly interested in their children Selina, Sydney and Frederick who died as children in 1869 and wonder if anyone has copies of death certificates of these children. If anyone can help please advise. Michelle Nichols

Hi Michelle, thanks for the information as my great great grandmother and her sister lived in the Maitland/Paterson area before they married and I've often wondered how they travelled from Hobart to Maitland and Paterson as I didn't think a couple of young girls would go overland from Sydney if they arrived in that port rather than travel by ship to Maitland. thank you, Patricia Hi Patricia This hotel was where the Paterson River ferry arrived in Sydney - from memory was at the western end of King St - Moses was my maternal grandmother, Ada Irene KING's Great Grand father.
