Hi Listers, Does anyone know of or is researching James Thomas Turner and his wife Jane, who came to Australia on board the "TORY" landing 9/4/1849. I believe they settled in the Singleton area for a while, where their daughter Susan Jane Turner was born in 1858. Regards John Rice Hervey Bay Qld

Hi, You no doubt are aware of Dr. Philip Norrie book ' The History of Dr. H.J. Lindeman and Lindeman wines' ISBN 0 947068 24 4. It contains some photos and details of Sidney which may assist.

Sidney Alfred Lindeman (2851-1937) Son of Dr Henry Lindeman of Gresford. I am trying to find out any information about his life apart from his BDM.

Hello Lister's, I am trying to find info on Walter John Rice b1880 at Rocky River NSW and his family. Walter married Blanche Biddle b1886 in 1905 at Glen Innes. They had 4 children that I know of, all born in Glen Innes. They were Doris b1906, Edna b1908, Gladys b1913 and Kenneth b1918. All 4 children were married in the Newcastle area so I have assumed that the family has moved to this area at sometime in their early age. Is there any other lister researching this family or have any info about them, it would be of a great help in preparing my tree. With Regards John Rice Hervey Bay Qld

In Oct 1929 Dorothy Jean GLENNIE, great-granddaughter of Dr. Henry GLENNIE, married Neville John RUSSELL. DR. GLENNIE was one of the resident doctors in Singleton from about 1832 until his death in 1880. I would like to hear from anyone who may be connected. I am a descendant of Henry's brother, Rev Alfred GLENNIE. Peter Gwandalan by The Lake.

Hi Robyn, Ian & list Initially when I was reading this thread, I noted that I had a Munro in my tree, but could not find his birth record, so didn't think I had a connection. However, I then noticed that the name Fras/zer came into the equation, and now I think I do have a connection! A David Munro married my great aunt Alice HAYNES in Sydney 1910. He was born in Bathurst in 1886 and was the son of David Fraser MUNRO and Rosina STREINER. Can anyone tell me whose son David Fraser MUNRO is, and provide his birth details?

Dear Cathy I have searched my family tree records, but can't find any reference to a David Munro who married Alice Haynes, nor can I find a David Fraser Munro. My cousin has vastly more information than I do and I have emailed her today to see if she can make a connection. If so, I'll certainly let you know. David Munro was probably a fairly common Scottish name, but the Fraser does make it interesting. I will keep you informed.

Dear Ian My great-great grandmother Christiana was the first-born of Alexander and Jane Munro. In all, there were 6 children: a.. Christiana born 9 August 1826; b.. David Augustus born 1 November 1828; c.. William born 4 August 1831; d.. James born 6 September 1832; e.. Jane born 18 August 1834; and f.. Margaret born 26 November 1836 Shipping records show that Christiana, who was about 16 at the time, did not arrive in Australia with the rest of the family. The feeling is that maybe she stayed in Scotland to look after elderly grandparents or other members of the family, but this is only conjecture. We have not had any success in finding the date of her arrival in Australia through shipping records, but it must have been within a couple of years. It is assumed that Alexander Munro died not long after their arrival in Australia, but again, no record has been found. His widow Jane re-married on 2 April 1844. Her second husband, Richard Nichols had been transported to Australia as a convict. Here is a brief note about him: "Richard Nichols was an English convict from Stroud in Gloucestershire, who arrived in Australia in 1832 on board the ship "John". An extract from the Gloucestershire Gaol Register states that Richard committed his crime on 11 August 1831 and was confined to gaol on 14 August for stealing 2 sacks (three bushels) of flour and a cheese. He was tried and sentenced to death, commuted to transportation for life. The gaol register gives a detailed description of his appearance. He was 25 at the time of his conviction. He was assigned to employers in Sydney until he gained his Ticket of Leave in 1843, when he was permitted to remain in the district of Patricks Plains (Singleton). On 20 Mar 1843 Richard applied to the Governor for permission to marry Jane Frazer (sic). Jane's daughter Christiana was witness at the wedding. Richard and Jane had three children, James (born 24 May 1845), Harriet (born 6 June 1846) and Henry George (born 1850). Richard went on to be a very successful businessman and councillor in Singleton. Richard died on 5 January 1882, five years after Jane, who died on 18 August 1877. Richard's occupation was listed as a stonemason at the births of his children. Jane has a substantial headstone in Glenridding (Singleton) Cemetery, which may have been Richard's work." As you can see, Christiana was a witness at the wedding, so she must have come to Australia on hearing of her father's death - again only speculation. She lived to the grand old age of 90, dying in Sydney on 18 February 1917. It was a little spooky when I discovered that Jane died on 18 August, which is my brother's birthday, and her daughter Christiana died on 18 February, which is my birthday!
