With that in mind, I'm sending the following , taken from the book "Maclean: The first fifty years 1862-1912" - "Bailey, Arthur Blackburn. Arthur Bailey, a saddler, had first married Hannah Perkins at Singleton & had a family of twelve children. In 1903 in Maclean he married Mary Cuckney, described as a laundress. When Arthur died in 1917 he was described as a 'well-known resident of Maclean.' Mary died in 1929." Could Arthur BAILEY have been a brother to the William BAILEY you are seeking? Kerry C

Hi everyone, I'll be passing through Grafton on Thursday am, around 9-10am, and wondered if the above is open. doesn't look like it from the web-site, though it does have research hours in the am. Would someone please put me straight about this. I'm interested in the VINCENT family, newspapermen of the area, researching for a friend. Many thanks, Cheers, Jill, Brisbane. PS.Sadly, I'll only have about an hour to spare.

I have a John W McIntyre born abt 1878 Coonamble, NSW in my family tree (no other details), his father is: John Campbell McIntyre born abt 1849 Maitland, NSW married Margaret Clare daughter of George Michael Clare and Bridget Lynch on 15 Sep 1872 Coonamble NSW. Margaret was born abt 1854 in Curban, NSW and died 28 March 1903 Coonamble, NSW. I am trying to find out John's parents names and when he died (no luck bdm or Coonamble Cemetery). My John could be John Cs grandfather. Any help would be appreciated Sue Frape South Australia

Hello Listers, I would like to update you all on what has been happening with our research. Firstly, we have found 'our' Michael MURRAY (after searching a large number of BDM transcriptions for NSW). After his wife and daughter (both named Catherine) drowned at Summer Island in 1865, he went to Sydney sometime around 1866-7 where he married his second wife, Isabella Armstrong January 1867. At the time he still had four young children between the ages of 8 and 17yrs which may be the reason for the second marriage. However, he died nine months later, being found drowned in Darling Harbour in October 1867. By finding his death, we were able to locate Letters of Administration for his estate, an Inquest on his death through The Sydney Mail and details of his second marriage. This has been a major breakthrough and I would like to thank everyone who sent me information on all the Michael MURRAY'S, as it all helped to find the correct one. One of the many reasons we were keen to locate Michael's death was because incorrect details of his family appeared in an undisclosed Pioneer Register published recently. The entry for Michael erroneously showed him deceased in Redfern in 1887 and his wife deceased in Paterson in 1873. Catherine of course drowned on the Macleay River in 1865, (headstone in the West Kempsey Cemetery). It may have been that the person who provided the entry only took the information from the NSW BDM Index and didn't get the original death record which would have provided sufficient details to identify whether they had the correct entry or not. Another incorrect entry for the same Pioneer Register shows Michael's brother, William James MURRAY had died in Sydney in 1896, but in fact he died in Parramatta in 1901 (we have documentation to prove this). I think that this is something we can all learn from when it comes to our family history - an index is just a finding aid and the original record is the best way to confirm most details (although even they can be wrong). It is also a reminder that we should check our sources carefully. BTW, we now have death records for the following unrelated Michael Murray names: Reg No Date Age Place 1870/5543 6 Oct 1870 72y Hastings River, Port Macquarie 1874/7450 7 Apr 1874 11m Pappinborough Creek, District Of Port Macquarie 1877/3878 19 Jul 1877 56y Bathurst Hospital 1879/6233 30 Apr 1879 72y Liverpool Asylum 1886/8516 4 May 1886 57y George Street Asylum Parramatta 1887/4722 8 Aug 1887 22y10m Cleveland Street, Municipality Of Redfern 1895/3823 21 Jun 1895 80y Victoria Street Sydney 1902/5697 7 Apr 1902 65y Liverpool Asylum 1910/4955 23 Mar 1910 33y General Hospital Casino 1911/5669 2 Apr 1911 80y Rookwood Asylum If you would like a copy of the transcript, please drop us a line.

Hi all; I have just finished putting on a Rootsweb hosted website all the available class photographs with available student names from Uki Public School (Tweed Valley), complete with a search engine. It may be of some use in your researches. The record is not complete, however. If you are able to supply missing names (wonderful) or even a scan of a missing photo (which would be even more wonderful) please email the school. You can view the photographs at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~tumbulgum/uki/genealogy.htm Regards Russell Wild Webmaster - Uki Public School.

Dear Listers, While searching for the whereabouts of Frederick James JACKSON, we did eventually find some reference to him being an 'ex Vernon boy'. Searching the internet and old newspapers has given us a lot of general information about the 'Vernon boys', the history and the reasons behind the set up of the school ships in Sydney. We even found a great write-up (with pictures) in the Illustrated Sydney News 23 January 1890. The Entrance Books of the NSS Vernon 1867-1897 are at State Records (CGS 3906 8/1740-46) and have been indexed on microfiche as an 'Index to Admittances & Discharge Books for the NSS's Vernon and Sobroan' in 1994 by the Kiama group. Unfortunately, a check of this index fails to show his name probably because there is a gap of several years in the late 1870's and early 1880's; this is the time period Frederick would likely have been placed on the ship. Are there any listers out there who can add further sources for me to check the actual names and dates of the 'Vernon boys'? Regards...Yvonne Port Macquarie NSW Australia

Hello, I am trying to locate the John EDWARDS who wrote the book 'Never a Backward Step - A history of the 1st 33rd Battalion, A.I.F. I believe that he may live in the Grafton area. I need to contact him or the publishers - whom I also cannot locate - Bettong Books, who were in Grafton in 1996 - in order to obtain permission to use some of the information in the book in my family history. My husband's uncle, Roderick Donald McRAE, was a member of the 33rd and was killed in action on 13th December, 1916 at Armentieres. Other relatives from the Armidale area also served in the 33rd, some also making the supreme sacrifice. Many thanks for your help. Cheers, Ally McRae - Bribie Island, Australia

Dear Jill, In reference to your enquiry re William Henry Vincent and his sons Henry and Frank and the newspapers they were involved in, there is a book by Rod Kirkpatrick titled "Country Conscience - a history of NSW provincial press 1841-1995" which has many references to these men and their newspapers. The book was published in 2000 and its isbn is 0 646 402706. Hope the above is of some assistance.
