Good morning Listers, I hope Lismore comes under this List, if not, could SKS point me in the right direction. I have speaking to my husband's cousin's wife, Caroline, and have confirmed that she comes through Wright Harrison HAMPSON, born in the USA in 1848 in Salem, Mass. Wright Harrison HAMPSON, was the coach driver who would play on his Bugle "The girl I Left Behind" as his coach left town. Caroline's gg grandfather was Arthur William HAMPSON, the third child of Wright Harrison HAMPSON and his first wife Isabella Emmaline (nee Reid). I have a mystery which I hope someone can help to solve. Isabella Emmaline HAMPSON (also known as Emma) the first wife of Wright Harrison HAMPSON, died in 1886. There were seven known children born to this couple between 1871 and 1880, Henry, Alice, Arthur William, George Albert, Wright Herbert, Walter John and Islet Ruby. Alice died in 1874 now long after she was born. All the marriages and deaths of these children have been researched. However, something very strange has come to light, while searching the NSW BDM, and that is the death of one Flott V.R. HAMPSON, who died in Lismore in 1892, the child of Wright and Isabella E HAMPSON. Who is Flott V.R.Hampson? On Isabella's death certificate, there are only six children recorded, Alice the baby that died at birth is not listed. Could Flott V R, which is a very strange first name, be a transcribing error? But if so, still who is this child or adult? They died 6 years after Isabella. Would there be a death notice in the local newspaper? In 1892 where would the burial take place? A lot of question I know, but hoping that someone maybe able to throw a little light on the mystery. In the meantime I have suggested to Caroline to purchase the death certificate to see what information it contains. Regards, Janice

Hi List, I am looking for some background info. on my maternal grandfather, Maurice WEEKS who was a banana grower and carpenter in the Mullumbimby area in the 1900-1940's. Various stories in the family say that he was heavily involved in the BGF (Banana Growers Federation), the Mullumbimby Show Society, the local Rifle Club (he was a sniper in WW1) and possibly other community groups. Does anyone know if there are records from the Rifle CLub or Show Society showing office bearers, prize winners, etc. that have survived? Would appreciate any assistance, Janelle (now living in Sydney).

Hi lit, Just writing to restate an interest in the names Doyle (with branches to Cobb, King, Smith, Mills) and Marr around Murwillumbah. Also the name Harvey Bassett Church (long shot), have census records to the late 1990s with addresses in Kingscliff and Chinderah but nothing further.

Good evening Listers, How would you think the Hampson family would have travelled to the Macleay River District, which could have been either Kempsey or Port Macquarie?. Eliza would have just given birth to their son Thomas in Sydney. Would they travel by coastal steamer to Port Macquarie, or travel overland? I suppose the most sensible way would be by steamer. Is there anyway that passenger lists for way back in 1854-1855 still be in existence? If so, where should I look? Regards, Janice

Hi Faye Regarding Marion (Haug) & Gilbert Raymond DAWES you might like to check out rootsweb.com family trees if you haven't already done so. This family is included by Ros Taylor (last updated 26 Jan 2005) and Steven Carr (updated 25 Feb 2004). Check all submissions as some of the earlier ones have more information. They are all from the Dawes prospective but perhaps you could contact Ros &/or Steven directly.

Sorry for the lengthiness of this but it is a plea from a desperate woman!!!! I have limited info on Elizabeth SMITH. Born abt 1880 in County Cork as Elizabeth later known as Bridget Elizabeth. I think she came to Australia abt 1895/1896. Australian death certificates etc have been of little help. The only heresay info I have which might be of help, is that she arrived on the same ship as Mary Horgan (one of 13 young girls bought to Australia by Mother Mary Stanislaus D'Arcy to join Presentation Nuns in Lismore area. Although Mother Mary Agnes Horgan's obituary had her born in 1877 and stated that she arrived in Lismore March 1896. Found this on http://www.records.nsw.gov.au/ Immigrant Index 1880-96 SURNAME FIRST AGE EVENTS VESSEL YEAR MONTH REEL REMARKS HORGAN Mary 31 Parthia 1886 2143, 2497 which is about 10 years out! and SURNAME FIRST AGE EVENTS VESSEL YEAR MONTH REEL REMARKS SMITH Annie 27 Parthia 1886 2143, 2497 SMITH Elizabeth 18 Parthia 1886 2143, 2497 and family SMITH Emma 15 Parthia 1886 2143, 2497 and family SMITH Jane 49 Parthia 1886 2143, 2497 and family SMITH Mary 17 Parthia 1886 2143, 2497 SMITH Matilda 31 Parthia 1886 2143, 2497 although this makes her about 10 years older than I have, it doesn't gel with Mother Mary Agnes' details . I'm desperate as Elizabeth was my ggrandmother and it's a big brick wall!!! I have her age on my grandmothers birth certificate in 1909 as 29 (which makes DOB 1880) & on her last child's birth cert as 49 in 1929 which corresponds with 1880. Her age listed on a birth in 1914 is 26 (DOB 1888) and in her obituary in 1951 as 61 (which makes dob 1890). A birth registered in 1906 states 18 (ie 1888) So she obviously didn't know or didn't want anyone else to know her age. I'm more confused than ever but am hanging onto this branch with all my strength Please throw me a lifeline (my arms are getting tired) This might help........... She died at ?23 Hallam Street North Lismore NSW as Bridget Elizabeth Atta-Singh Father: unknown Smith Occupation: unknown MOther: unknown Buried: Roman Catholic Cemetery Lismore Undertaker: William Riley & Son. She has been: Elizabeth Smith; Lizzie Smith; Elizabeth Atta-Singh & Bridget Elizabeth Atta-Singh. Makes it a whole lot clearer, doesn't it?????????? Bev in Brissie

A somewhat similar picture on the lower Hunter - big money vs morals and ethics of co-operation. The history of the Raymond Terrace Co-op Dairy Co. (later became the Oak Butter Factory at Hexham) is best read not from the "official" histories, but from the pages of the Raymond Terrace Examiner - perhaps the local papers will be helpful re Norco also??

Thank you to Rod and also to the many other Listers who have helped with my enquiry regarding the Hampson family of Macleay River district. Within a day of requesting help with the HAMPSON family, I have found out so much from this wonderful List and I would like to share the HAMPSON story with you so far. Edward HAMPSON was Christened on 15th May 1825, at Saint Michael, Ashton Under Lyne, Lancashire, England. His parents being Thomas and Nancy HAMPSON. Family rumour has it that this family was very well off, living in a large home in the town of Ashton Under Lyne in Lancashire. Eliza HARRISON was Christened on 23 May 1824 at Saint Michael, Ashton Under Lyne, Lancashire. Her parents were James and Alice HARRISON Edward HAMPSON at 20 years of age, married Eliza HARRISON also 20, on 1st January 1844 at the Cathedral, Manchester, Lancashire ENGLAND. Some time between 1844 and 1848, Edward and Eliza HAMPSON sailed for the United States, and settled on the east coast of the USA. It is believe that there were already relatives of Edward's living in the U.S. Children born in the U.S.A were.:- Wright Harrison HAMPSON born 1848 in Salem, Mass. Desdemona Ann HAMPSON born 1851 Newark New.Jersey Alice Maria HAMPSON b.1853 Boston, Mass. After the birth of Alice in Boston in July 1853 and before the birth of Thomas in Australia in Nov 1854, the family sailed from Boston to old Sydney Town, Australia. What ship they sailed on is at the moment unknown. Children born in the Colony were:- Thomas 1854, William 1856, Edward 1857, Henry 1860 and Mary 1862. All except Thomas, who may have been born in Sydney, not long after the family arrived in Sydney Cove, were born in the Macleay River district. The family settled somewhere near Kempsey, at the moment it is unknown exactly where their property was. Any help with establishing where the family actually lived, would be very much appreciated. As previously stated, the father Edward joined the police force, and was tragically killed on Christmas Eve 1868 when he was thrown against a tree. More work has to be done regarding the death of Edward. Not sure if he was on duty when he died. It was only six month before, when Edward and Eliza's son Thomas, at 14 years of age was killed in an accident in July, while driving a team of bullocks, when one of the wheels got on the end of a slab, suddenly lifting the other end, which struck Thomas on the head killing him on the spot. Thomas at the time was in the employ of Mr.James Ducat (Manning River New - 11.07.1868). Thomas was recovering at the time from a broken arm at the time of his death. The surviving children all married:- 1870 Wright Harrison HAMPSON, married Isabella Emmeline Reid at Port Macquarie. She died in 1886 and Wright's second wife was Ellen Berman and they married in 1906, also in Port Macquarie. Desdemona Ann HAMPSON married Edwin James CLOUGH in 1868 at Macleay River. Alice Maria HAMPSON married John JONES in 1868 at Macleay River. (The sisters may have married on the same day). William HAMPSON married Elizabeth BOLSTER in 1884 at Kempsey. Edward HAMPSON married Annie KELLARD IN 1882 in Sydney. Henry Frank HAMPSON married Ada Caroline KELLY in 1881 in Sydney. Mary Amelia HAMPSON married Arthur Pringle STEWART in 1881 in Newtown. The one member of this family whose name survives today, through his wonderful exploits is Wright Harrison HAMPSON, through his colourful career as a mail contractor and coach driver for Cobb & Co. He was well known for playing on his bugle "The Girl I Left Behind Me", when his coach was leaving town. There was also his stories of the Boer War, he was 52 years of age when he joined up. Wright Harrison HAMPSON, died in 1929 in Granville, his son Wright Harrison HAMPSON Jnr, died five years before his father in 1924 at Parramatta. Again, a big thank you to everyone who contributed to put this story together.

Dear Janice, We had a look at some newspaper indexes relating to HAMPSON of the Macleay River and found the following which may be of some interest... Manning River News newspaper - 11 July, 1868 page 2 columns 5 and 6 Another accident happened at Moonebah, by which a boy, named Hampson, lost his life whilst driving a team of bullocks. One of the wheels got on the end of a slab, suddenly lifting the other end, which struck the boy on the head killing him on the spot The lad who was killed at Moonebah by being struck on the head by a rail as mentioned by our regular correspondent, was named Thomas Hampson. He was in the employ of Mr. James Ducat. A magisterial enquiry was held. Manning River News newspaper - 11 September, 1869 page 3 column 3 A son of a Mrs. Hampson has had his leg broken. It is stated that the boy belongs to a particularly unfortunate family. His father was killed by being thrown against a tree, his eldest brother had his arm broken, and had no sooner recovered from that accident than he was suddenly killed, and now this lad comes in for his share of trouble. The boy’s mother certainly deserves the sympathy of her neighbours, and pecuniary aid too, if she needs it. Also, Janice, in the “NSW - Patriotic Fund Subscribers - Crimean War (1855) index” there is the following entry extracted from the Sydney Morning Herald ... Hampson E Kempsey & Macleay River 16 Aug 1855 page 6 column 1 If this is one of the family it may establish that he was in the Macleay district in 1855 Also, is Wright Hampson one of the family you are researching ? He married Miss Berman on 3 January, 1907. Hope the above is of some assistance.

Dear Ken and Vivienne, There is a book titled "Milk for the Metropolis- a century of co-operative milk supply in New South Wales" by Jan Todd, printed in 1994, that may be worth a look at. Also another book by the same author titled "More Than Milk" printed in 2001, mentions a Spencer Hicks. From the "Milk for the Metropolis" is the following .... ".... During the months of April and May, 1894, the comparative merits of co-operation and private enterprise were debated as never before. But private enterprise was the quicker. Suppliers were won, separating stations erected and a central factory built at Lismore before the North Coast Fresh Food and Cold Storage Co-operative Co. Ltd. (Norco) formed in October, 1894. Its plans for a central factory at Byron Bay set the scene for a struggle for many years. ...." Hope the above is of some interest.

Good evening Listers, I am new to this list and am hoping that SKS maybe able to assist me. I am helping the wife of my husband's cousin to find out some history on her gg grandfather one Edward HAMPSON. Edward and his wife Eliza arrived from the United States of America sometime in the late 1840s or early 1850, with three children. They had immigrated to the USA from England, however for some reason they changed their mind about settling in America and came to Australia. After their arrival, at least another four children were born, 1854 Thomas, 1856 William, 1857 Edward, 1860 Henry and 1862 Mary. The majority of the children's place of births are registered as Macleay River. Their father Edward HAMPSON, became a Police Officer, however he was killed while on duty in 1862 near a river. The lady I am helping thinks she can remember the cause of death was a fall from a horse. Any help regarding this family would be very much appreciated. Regards, Janice Sydney
