    1. Re: [HV] What HUNTER VALLEY family/local history websites do youhave bookmarked?
    2. Jordan
    3. Hi listers there are three indexes (or, indices, if you prefer!) to the Newcastle Morning Herald and Miners' Advocate available at the website of the Newcastle Library. Two have been previously mentioned: 1869 to 1943 http://www.newcastle.nsw.gov.au/services/newcastle_library/local_studies/local_studies_e-resources/newcastle_morning_herald_index described as: "This online index provides title & subject access to articles of local significance appearing in the Newcastle Morning Herald from 1869 to 1943. The index has over 160,000 individual entries." It is searchable on-line using a subject list: http://www2.ncc.nsw.gov.au/library/herald_subjects_1.cfm 1944 - 1984 http://www.newcastle.nsw.gov.au/services/newcastle_library/local_studies/local_studies_e-resources/newcastle_morning_herald_index/newcastle_morning_herald_index_1944_-_1977 described as: "This online index provides title & subject access to articles of local significance appearing in the Newcastle Morning Herald from 1944 to 1984. The digital images are provided as PDF files. ..." Yesterday, I came across another in their digital book section: List of personal names in the Newcastle Morning Herald index 1861 - 1965 http://www.newcastle.nsw.gov.au/services/newcastle_library/local_studies/digital_collections/digital_books2/list_of_personal_names_in_the_newcastle_morning_herald_index_1861_-_1965 These are PDF files each about 1Mb organised alphabetically. Once you download the relevant PDF, you can search within. For example, the first is Abbott to Aquin. Once downloaded, the entries are like this: NAME: ABBOTT. J. P. DATE: 1965.8.5;3 SOURCE: NMH INFO: DIES AT 73. NAME: ABBOTT. J. P. (SIR) DATE; 1897.2I.8;5 SOURCE: NMH INFO; SPEAKER OF N.S.W. LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY. NAME: ABBOTT. JOSEPH (SIR) DATE: 1901.18.9;4 SOURCE: NMH INFO: LATE. NAME: ABBOTT. JOSEPH (SIR) DATE: 1901.16.9;8 SOURCE: NMH INFO: DEATH OF. Again, this resource appears only to index editorial content of the NMH and not advertising such as family notices. It appears to be the work of Jennifer Maria Sloggett and available in hard copy in few places. http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/6165855 Once you have located an item of interest, you have to check the microfilm - but it does guide you to date and page.

    3. Hi Margaret Trove? For the time period you are researching, Trove does not cover New South Wales outside of the Sydney Morning Herald (more or less). People researching RUNDLE? http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index/RUNDLE http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/aus-nsw-hunter-valley/2007-06/1182827966 You have the death certificate/transcription from 1958 and it doesn't mention the DoB? or are you trying to avoid the cost of buying one of these? (I sympathise, but that may be your answer). Do you have the certificate/transcription of the 1908 marriage? Recently people on this list compiled a large selection of online resources for the Hunter Valley. Have you tried any of them? http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/AUS-NSW-Hunter-Valley/2011-06/1307177810 and follow the thread. I think Terry may be right: there is more than one RUNDLE family in the Hunter Valley. RUNDLEs, the tailors, certainly outfitted me on a few occasions! The Sun Herald of 17 Nov 1996, p.45 carries an article by Vic LEVI, 'We'll save you, boss'. It outlines the financial problems facing the company and efforts by its employees to save it and continues: "Mr Rundle's grandfather, Richard, started the business in 1908 and it has remained in the family's control ever since. "After Richard Rundle died in 1936, his wife Catherine Ellen-Ackers Rundle, ran the business until 1948. "But when she died, her two sons, Nelson (Peter Rundle's father) and Lindsay senior were unable to pay the high death duties and were forced to go public with the company. "The family built up a controlling interest of around 60 per cent and the business is run by Peter Rundle and his cousin, Lindsay Rundle junior." The Newcastle Herald of 30 Aug 2008 in its supplement at p. 15 carried this item under the headline "Home-town pride in the making" "RUNDLE Tailoring is celebrating 100 years of business in Newcastle this year. "The business was started by Richard Thomas Rundle in 1908, the current owner Andrew Rundle's great-grandfather. "'When he started, there were about 28 tailors on Hunter Street alone, so it was very competitive,' Andrew said. "Mr Rundle was one of the first tailors in Newcastle to buy an electric sewing machine. "His machine-made suits, rather than the old-fashioned handmade suits, provided good value for money. "'He was quicker and cheaper and the business grew rapidly,' his great-grandson said. "Richard Thomas Rundle was the son of a London tailor's cutter. His father came out to Australia from London, and had the honour of making the guard's uniform for the inaugural train trip from Central Station to Parramatta in 1855. "Richard moved to Newcastle to take up a position with another tailor. "One of the conditions of the job was that if he left, he was not allowed to work for anyone else in Newcastle for three years, so in 1905 he moved to Bathurst. "A great billiards player, he returned to Newcastle for a competition and with his winnings started Rundle Tailoring. "After his death in 1936, his widow Katherine carried on the business, running it through the tough war years. Her two sons, Lindsay and Nelson, also worked in the family business. "They started to produce their own brand of suits, Hammonton Park, which they distributed as wholesalers as well. "From the 1960s to the 1980s, Rundles grew its wholesale network across Australia with agents or representatives in every state supplying brands such as John Savada and Rundle. "The company grew to about 400 employees and was one of the four largest manufacturers in Australia. "In the 1980s, the company sold suits to the department stores Grace Bros and David Jones and also made suits for Country Road. "It created uniforms for Australia Post, Telecom, the National Australia Bank and Star City casino, along with Qantas. "Rundle Tailoring built a factory at Kotara, where Domayne is located now. "The 1990s were a tough time for the manufacturing industry as a whole. As tariffs came down, the company found it difficult to compete with cheaper imports. The factory was closed by the bank in 1998. "At the auction held to sell the company's assets, the family bought back some of its own manufacturing equipment and started the business again, this time on Hunter Street in Newcastle West, where it's been for 10 years."

If so, the NMH has an item on him in its issue of 17 Jan 1950. Not on Trove. Not online. You'll have to visit a library and check the microfilm for yourself. Regards

    3. God Afternoon, Yes there certainly was a RUNDLE tailoring business in Hunter=St--(and still is) my wife served her apprentice ship there being indentured to Lindsay RUNDLE. However there were also RUNDLEs in Wallsend who also had a general retailing as my late father was employed by them. Also the 1901 Federal Directory for Newcastle has Rundles as miners in Wallsend. That's as far as I went. Terry www.terrycallaghan.net

    3. Hi Bill Yes Mary Jane was Joseph Henry Rundle's wife, she was "Mary Jane Stratford" and her brother "Alfred Venable Stratford" married into a part of my family tree. I am now trying to develop the "Rundle" part of the family as I am told another brother to Joseph "Frederick Rundle" also married into another part of my family tree, and from the records I have located so far, appears to be correct and so I think it is about time I joined all this data together. . I have not done anything about the Rundle family until now and finding that two brothers are now in our family tree is prompting me to at least find more about the Rundle family, and who and where their parents were from etc., and make this part of my research complete.
