I inherited a couple of Braidwood papers found under lino there recently, here a couple of obits. Regards Marg The Braidwood Review, Tue, 6 Oct 1908 Death Notice At her residence, Lascelles - street, ANNIE relict of the late John GILLIGAN, of Araluen, aged 84 years and 5 months. Obituary The silent reaper was unusually busy last week. On Friday night Mr. Carl Baumgardner, of Major's Creek, breathed his last. The deceased had been suffering more or less for some time, but it was not until he went to Sydney some two or three months ago to enter the Hospital that he discovered that the cause of his trouble was a cancer on the liver. The Doctors then found that he was past operating upon, and he returned home. Since then he daily became worse and died on Friday night. He was 41 years of age. There was no more popular resident than Carl Baumgardner on the Creek. He was in fact every inch a man, and consequently had a large circle of friends. This fact was abundantly borne out on Sunday by the very large attendance at his funeral. There were nearly 50 vehicles in the cortege, besides a number of persons on foot. The service at the grave was impressively performed by the Rev. Father Hanrahan, of Araluen. The deceased leaves a widow and two daughters and a son, the youngest of whom is only about 12 months old. Another very old and highly esteemed resident of the district in the person of Mrs. Gilligan, relict of the late Mr. John Gilligan, of Reidsdale, died in Braidwood on Friday last at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Feeney. The deceased was in her 85th year. Prevoius to an accident she met with in Braidwood some three years ago, when she fell down and injured her hip, a more hale or hearty woman could not be found for her age. Since then she has been practically invalided. The deceased lady, who was born in Ireland, came to the district about 60 years ago, and shortly afterwards married Mr. Gilligan. They took a farm at Budawang for some years, and on the breaking out of the Araluen gold=field they removed there and opened business as hotel hotel-keepers, where they were very successful, so much so that they bought the Hawker estate at Reidsdale, some 45 years ago, to which they subsequently removed, and where Mrs. Gilligan resided ever since until she came to town some little time ago. She was always a most charitable lady, and had a host of friends. Her funeral took place on Sunday and was very numerously attended. Her remains were laid beside those of her husband in St. Bede's cemetery. She had 10 daughters, three of whom (Messrs. [sic] P. Feeney, Mead and Smith) are living, and three sons, two of whom (Messrs. John and Thomas Gilligan) survive her, to whom we desire to express our most sincere condolence in their sad bereavement. Another death occurred in Braidwood on Friday night in the person of Mrs. George, wife of Mr. Joseph George, of this town. The deceased who had passed the allotted span of three score years and ten, had been an invalid for some time. She was the mother of the well-known Ware family of this town and was highly respected by all who knew her. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon, and was well attended. The service at the graveside was performed by the Rev. W. Ellis.

William Thompson BACKHOUSE I am not familiar with ? Though I have two William BACKHOUSE's, 1839-1919 & 1869-1891 ?? Cullough McMAHON I don't have either ?

Hello, A big thanks to all those who responded to my query. That's another problem solved. Joy

Hello Joy, >Does anyone know if an occupation listed as Journeyman on an English census in 1861 would indicate that person was a Coachman?< Journeymen In the medieval system, towns had special privileges and trades and crafts were controlled by guilds. The workplace was run by the master who employed apprentices and journeymen, Journeymen had completed their apprenticeships and were qualified to do the job (ie be paid daily wages). In time they could become masters in their own right, but this would require acceptance by the guild - and presumably a certain amount of capital. In this context journeyman simply means a time served craftsman entitled to a man's wages. http://rmhh.co.uk/occup/i-k.html#J I hope the following is of help to you Joy... >JOURNEYMAN / JORMAN - one who served his apprenticeship and mastered his craft; properly, one who no longer is bound to serve for years but is hired day to day COACHMAN / COACH DRIVER - drove any coach < Taken from... click below URL http://www.cpcug.org/user/jlacombe/terms.html Try another... http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Valley/9267/occs.html#C Best regards, Wayne Carter [email protected]

Hi Joy, From my research Journeyman indicated that the person had finished their apprenticeship and were frre to move on into a independebt working life Debb McDonald, Wilson (Scot) Thompson, Anlezark (Eng) Jones, Parsons (NZ) Halliday, Thorn (Scot, Eng) ----- Original Message ----- > Does anyone know if an occupation listed as Journeyman on an English census in 1861 would indicate > that person was a Coachman? > Thanks > Joy >

Hi Joy, No. Nothing to do with journeys. It means a "tradesman who has served his trade apprenticeship and mastered his craft, not bound to serve a master, but originally hired by the day. The name derives from the French for day - jour." A web search will give you quite a few old trades sites.

They were married in St. Saviours Goulburn in 1849 and had 9 children namely John G, Amelia, William, James, Elizabeth, Emma, Emmaline, Mary and Richard. I am also looking for the name Croft. George Croft married Amelia Burke in Goulburn in 1845 and issue is Emma Albin, Susan Elizabeth, Mary Ann Amelia, George Phillip, Thomas Johm, William Henry and Celia Ellen. Robyn Burke

Joy I have a 1864 marriage certificate from Manchester, England and it details: Reg. No.; where married; Name and Surname of both parties; their ages, and their occupations; adress before marriage; their father's names; and occupations. It also shows the names of the officiating clergy and witnesses. Hope this helps.

Hello Everyone. I am working my way through the Bega DEATH indexes published by the Bega Valley Genealogy Society, and frequently encounter the place of death of a person as either "The Settlement" or "Labour Settlement", BEGA. These deaths seem to have occurred between around 1898 to 1914. Is there a Bega local in the group who might be able to explain exactly what this settlement was (I am assuming that both titles refer to the same place); and by what name the locality might be known today? Grateful for any insights. Thanks in advance. Ray in Sydney.
