When Mrs Hannah DEITZ died at Nowra in 1939, her obituary states that one of her surviving daughters was "Mabel (Mrs McDonald, Kyogle)". Does anyone know anything about Mabel McDonald? The problem I have is that I am almost certain the only likely Mabel DEITZ (b.1889 Kiama to Philip DEITZ and Hannah BRIDGE) had married Thomas Henry MAXWELL at Lismore in 1910. Thomas had previously been married to Mabel's sister Myrtle, who died in 1909. I cannot find a marriage registration for a McDONALD to Mabel DEITZ. Who was Mabel McDONALD?

Hi Everyone is there anyone over in Sydney that would be prepared to look at some passenger lists circa 1924 for me. I am looking for the surname Titterington Alan Cookson

Hi Listers, I am relaying a message from a new subscriber. I have advised them of the correct posting address. If you can help this new subscriber that would be great, but please note that you can't "reply", (it would come to me) you will have to copy and paste his address into the new message.

I have sent for a Death Certificate of a Louisa Hansen nee Rediger and it says she died in a Benevolent Asylum in Melbourne. I don't know if she was a resident or if she worked there. Does anyone know where I could check? She died in 1911, not all that long ago. Also there was an inquest into her death, where could I get the details, and would that help me with any family connections, I guess not, there are none listed on the death cert. I think that is because she went into hiding as her husband (in Grafton) was going to kill her. Jennie Rediger [email protected]

Hi Jennie, I have been looking at coastal shipping lately, but have found it difficult. The only passengers mentioned are those in first class cabins. Others are mentioned as '12 in steerage' for example. I am interested in the schooner 'Alpha' which sailed from Melbourne to the Richmond River in 1867, for the cedar trade, but so far no luck on details.

Hi I noticed I haven't received any Norco Mail lately, am I still on the lis? Does anybody know how or where I could check shipping details for ships coming into the Clarence? I have been told that the Rediger family lived in Albury for five years, then travelled up to Grafton on the "Heleneckle" and I would like to verify this somehow. Would they have sailed from Melbourne? Jennie Rediger [email protected]

My husband's great grandmother Mary Fenwick and her family came to Queensland in 1855. Other Fenwick relatives arrived in Sydney in 1850 later moving on toLismore and Ballina where they had a tug business. Jim and I hope to be in the area of Lismore and Ballina area in August to do some research on this branch and would be pleased to be in contact with any descendants. Dianne Fraser

Hi all, Just a couple of reminders: 1. The Norco list is hosted by Rootsweb http://www.rootsweb.com/ Rootsweb has a wide range of genealogical resources available free. It's companion website is Bellingen Gen Web incorporating the NSW North Coast Book Indexing Project. http://www.rootsweb.com/~nswbelli More details about Norco are at http://www.rootsweb.com/~nswbelli/norco.html . 2. The archives of the Norco list are searchable at http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl Just type "AUS-NSW-NORCO-L" (without the " marks) and you will be taken to the search page. If you type in another valid list name you can search that list instead. 3. You can also search the Norco list (and other NSW lists) from http://resources.rootsweb.com/world/Australia/NewSouthWales/ but only the bottom group of searches seem to work properly, at least for Norco. 4. Rootsweb's Australian web sites and email lists for all states can be found through http://resources.rootsweb.com/world/Australia.html 5. Bellingen Gen Web www.rootsweb.com/~nswbelli/ is associated with the Norco list and in particular the books, links, archives and settlers pages and database may be of assistance even for non Bellingen enquiries. If you have something about Bellingen district, or an index of a book relating to the NSW North Coast you would like to submit please email [email protected] 6. Please post your interests every 2 or 3 months or so for the benefit of new subscribers to the list. They may have that information you are looking for, but be too shy to post! 7. It helps if you put the Surname, First name; Place; Year to Year in the message subject as that makes it very easy to see whether messages in the archives are relevant to you. 8. Spread the word about Norco when replying to messages on other lists. In Outlook Express 5 You can use Tools>Options>Signatures and add a signature like the one below, then use Insert>Signature on each message. 9. Keep up the goodness by helping answer queries and being nice to one another, particularly those whose questions may indicate that they have little experience, or have no experience in working with microfiche, indexes, bureaucracies, etc. 10. Procedures for subscribing and unsubscribing are below my name and on the web page http://www.rootsweb.com/~nswbelli/norco.html Kind regards to all Paul Hanly Rhodes, Sydney, Australia Coordinator Bellingen Gen Web www.rootsweb.com/~nswbelli/ [email protected] North Coast NSW mail list A mailing list for North Coast NSW has been established.

Hi Fellow Genes, Just to let you know that my site has been updated with alot more places that have been added and more family names have been added to existing places. Whats new on my site is as follows: *Announcements and Reunions *In Search of Living Family & Friends *In Remembrance of our War Dead *A Free for all Links where you can add your Homepage for each state it falls under and also a section to add and share the Great Books you have read on Australia and Offline Addresses that you think may be of interest. *Burials which has been up for a few weeks now * A brand new search engine that so far is working great and makes it alot more easier to search for surnames. * COMING SOON - Photographs of places, buildings, churches, stores our ancestors owned. I won't be doing ancestor photo's as Dianne Carroll has already started a wonderful website for this. So if you have any photographs that you think would be of interest please send them in. There will be listed under state and place just like bdm's and burials are. Kind Regards Julie Clift Add your Births, Deaths, Marriages, Burials at: *Tracking Our Family Footsteps through time in Australia http://www.angelfire.com/ns/aust email: [email protected]

Dear List, My mother remembers going to a house called "Tirza" in Murwillumbah in about 1914 when she lived at Tyalgum. She thinks it was on the banks of the Tweed but is not sure - has any lister any knowledge of this house? Is it still standing? regards Malcolm Glennie Holmes Wagga Wagga

Hello everybody I hope what I am doing is considered acceptable by all lists but I just received the following information and feel sure that there would be others who were interested. The news concerns the website http://census.pro.gov.uk/ The following is a quote from the page - "This Website is a pilot for the release of the whole of the 1901 Census for England and Wales, which will be made available on the Internet from the first working day of 2002. This pilot consists of the digitised returns for the county of Norfolk from the 1891 Census. The Census reveals who was living at a particular address in each city, town and village on census night (5th April 1891)." I'm sure there are a lot of us who will be looking forward to this happening. Elaine

Any knowledge or links to THOMAS C. CURRAN and ANN FITZSIMMONS, married Dungog C. of E., 1854. Les Hewett, Napier, NZ.

Hi NORCO Listers, I'm new to the list. I have just learned that my great-great grandfather, Alexander RAINE, and his wife Catherine GIBLIN, had a son in Port Macquarie in July 1844. When William was baptized in Feb 1845 (St. James Parish, County Cumberland), the listing indicates that they were still residents of Port Maquarie. They had a son (the only one that lived) in Auckland in 1840 and were in Tauranga, NZ in 1850, and here in California by 1852. Since RAINE was a shipbuilder/captain (and a bit goofy, perhaps), they moved around a lot. I would like to find other children they may have had, William's death, and their whereabouts from 1840-1844 and 1845-1850. The Port Macquarie Museum link on Paul's site didn't work today, nor can I find the museum on a search. Can someone tell me -- if RAINE built and/or sailed a schooner in and out of Port Macquarie for a few years, where might I find that information? Given that they were Roman Catholic, where might they have baptised any children there (perhaps they couldn't and that's why they went north for William). Only William appears on the BDM. Thanks so much. Kim in California

The NSW probate index lists the following deaths as both occurring on February 16th, 1941. Edward Arthur BOXSELL of Tyalgum Leonard Marshall BOXSELL of near Murwillumbah These two were first cousins. Both would only have been aged about 40. Does anyone have any info from local sources which would explain the deaths on the same day? Given their ages, I'm thinking an accident of some sort would be most likely.
