2003 marks the 200th anniversary of the beginning of European settlement in the Penrith district at Castlereagh. Penrith City Council and Library are holding their second annual conference to celebrate this milestone in our local history. The conference, "The Makings of a City: Bicentenary of European Settlement" will be held on Saturday 29 March 2003. The programme has been finalised and the brochures have been printed! If you would like to have one posted out to you, please email me with your address. Kind Regards, Danielle Embleton Penrith City Library daniellee@penrithcity.nsw.gov.au

Hello Kristine, My Great-great aunt married in NSW in 1855, and when her husband died, she married his brother in 1865 in Victoria. I have both marriage certificates.

Hi Kristine The issue is probably more to do with church law at the time. Maybe asking your local C of E minister might solve this.

Hi Listers, I wonder if anyone can help me. I have an ancestor who may have married their widowed stepmother in the 1860s. There is no record of the marriage taking place and I wanted to know if it was lawful at the time. They also moved out of the area to a place where they were not known. I know that widowed men could marry their wife's sister but widowed women could not marry their husband's brother and I thought this case could also be one of those laws. Kristine Wood

Hi Jan, Well done on your efforts transcribing these names and putting them online. Just taking a look at the Penrith Roll of Honour (http://www.penrithcity.nsw.gov.au/history/war/memorials/penhonroll.htm), I am curious about one of the nurses, a M KELLETT. Any idea who this is? I have searched the AIF Nominal Roll and the only KELLETT nurse I can find is Adelaide Maud KELLETT. There was a M KELLETT who recieved and honour/award (refer to AWM site): KELLETT, M, Sister, AANS (Australian Army Nursing Service), Mention in Dispatches. Is this this the Penrith M KELLETT I wonder?

Hello Lloyd, I read your message to Jan with great interest and would like to ask "how do you descend in the SKEEN family"? I am a COLLITS descendent, and have searched all branch lines from Pierce and Mary Collits, including their daughter Amelia Collits who married John Skeen. I have most of the descendents recorded up to "1918 birth and 1945 marriages and deaths"! Like you I have searched the WW-1 and WW-11 records, looking for extra details. I would like to add your name and family into my records, so look forward to your reply. Rain is wide spread at present, but it skirting around us here in East Gippsland Vic again and we need it so desperately, not just to re-assure us "it can still rain", but the bush fires are getting closer and no rain is falling on them either.

Hi Jan and Peter, are you aware that a book has already been published on the Memory Park memorials. The Penrith RSL was giving it away free at a conference I went to last year. Ask Lorraine Stacker at Penrith Library about it, as the Library has a site for WW1 veterans.

I have information and some photos of the Volunteers from the St Marys area in World War 1 - from the Honour Rolls on the St Marys War Memorial and the Anglican Church as well as the "Old Boys" from the St Marys Public School. Should anyone require information, I will try to help as long as I can get the Soldier's name. Lyn ===== __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Hi Jan, I have war 1 Records of 2 decedents and would like to know if there is any other relevant information on the old memorial. I am doing the history of the SKEEN family and any information is of course very valuable. They are 1. John Skeen 1874-1917 2. Alfred 1894-1918 both were KIA France Many thanks Lloyd Skeen ----- Original Message ----- From: Jan & Peter Herivel <herivels@pnc.com.au> To: <AUS-NSW-PENRITH-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2003 7:23 PM Subject: [AUS-NSW-PENRITH] Memory Park Penrith > Hi Everyone > > I have just finished transcribing the Penrith Roll of Honour at Memory Park > for WW1 soldiers.

G'day Jan & Peter, I have relatives on the Roll and would be love to be able to give you their names. But seeing it is about 40+ years since I saw the Roll I can't remember who is on it. Is it (The Honour Roll) available for me to have a look at. Also there is a page somewhere at the War Memorial site that gives the names of all WW1 Diggers (as well as a new one for WW2), this may also help you as a lot of the old families have left the town or have dies out.

Hi Everyone I have just finished transcribing the Penrith Roll of Honour at Memory Park for WW1 soldiers. Where possible, I have given the full name and not just the initials of the first names. If you have a relative listed and can give the full name or some details (they can be returned soldiers) of your ancestry, please email me with the details. St Marys (Vic Park) is almost complete and will be loaded next week. Best wishes Jan Herivel

I have just discovered an ancestor, William Harrington HORE died in 1916 at Rooty Hill and is buried in the Anglican section of St Marys cemetery. Is anyone able to shed a bit of light on William or his descendants? Many thanks Martyn Killion
