Hi List, I am a new member & am researching the families of Michael LEE & Elizabeth MOFFITT. They seemed to be located in the Gerringong area. Their son Henry LEE married Margaret GRAY. I am looking forward to making contact with other researchers of these families. Cheers, Donna.

Hi List, I am new to the list & am eagerly seeking researchers of the WALMSLEY family I am descended from Edward WALMSLEY & Margaret ELLIOTT. Their daughter, Maria, married Henry GRAY. Maria is listed as having died at Fountaindale, Jamberoo. As I am researching from afar & am not at all familiar with the South Coast, I would appreciate any details that could be passed on to me about these places. Thank you in anticipation! Cheers, Donna.

Hello all, There is to be a family reunion of the Henry Clan to take place in Jamberoo 25th and 26th October. I am trying to locate family members of the Nash Families who have descended from Michael Nash and Margaret Henry/Spinks. Perhaps still living on the South Coast of NSW. If you had a gt grandfather/mother or grandfather/mother whose name was William, Elizabeth, Agnes, Michael John, Margaret Ann, James, George T, or Ernest Nash I would love to hear from you as we may be connected and can exchange information.I would like to hear from any Nash whose father was Ernest and mother Marge, Grandfather Ernest and Gt Grandfather George T.

Rhoda There is no mention of ABSALOM or any variant of the name in my copy of the Campbelltown Pioneer register of 1800 to 1900. There has been another edition of this register published since I bought mine and it may contain something.

I am looking for any information on the ABSALOM family of Campbelltown, I would be grateful for any assistance. So far I have births of Mary 1855, Susan 1848 and John 1839.

Hello, If anyone has a copy of the Kiama cemetery transcipts could they kindly check for the burial of a Francis (Frank) Brown who would have died after 1954, husband of Winifred and father of Dorothea. Francis was born in 1875. I've hit a brick wall on this one. Last trace I have was a mention at his sister's funeral in 1954 when he was still living at Kiama. Joy

McMahons Point was a vehicular ferry terminus, so it is possible they were ferried across the harbour. They may have then walked, or were carriaged behind the Hurst to the Funeral Station at Central & caught the train with the coffin to Rookwood.

I would think in those days it would have left from the house. They used to leave the body in the house until burial. Then they probabaly went to central station by whatever means. Maybe horse and buggy and then by train to Rookwood. I'm not real expert on the subject, but from what I have heard I think this would be the case.

Listers, I know I'm not quite on the right list for this request but I have reasons for posting to this list . Answers sent to the whole list may reach an American Lister who the enquiry is for. She was recently involved in the court case about a Binalong event. I found a funeral notice today in an old Sydney Morning Herald for a funeral held in Sydney in 1917. The notice stated that the funeral would leave from the widows house at McMahons Point for Rookwood Cemetery. When funerals left a house was the coffin carried from the house or was it already at the cemetery or the mortuary station? As McMahons Pt is on the Northern side of the harbour in pre bridge days, how did the members of the funeral party get to Rookwood? Would they catch a ferry to Circular Quay then a tram to the mortuary station at Central thence to Rookwood or can a lister suggest some different plan? If they left with the coffin from McMahons Pt who carried it on board a ferry? Perhap they used the monorail for part of the journey. David

No ref to him in the on line Col Secs indexes . No marriage or refs to children found in the NSW PI His is not in the lists of early settlers found on http://users.bigpond.net.au/convicts This burial ref wouldnt give any more info than what shows in the PI index , aka he was 40 yr old .

FWIW, the record quoted here is not a death certificate - it's a church burial record and as such will not contain the genealogical information that a death certiciate could be expected to. It should at least give the church of buriala which would answer the original question though.

Correct but it will come as a death certificate and that is its number. The certificate has no family details of mother and father only his age but the burial details will probably be noted. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pam Dowling" <[email protected]> To: "Wade Cox" <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, August 30, 2003 3:28 PM Subject: Re: burial in Campbelltown > FWIW, the record quoted here is not a death certificate - it's a church > burial record and as such will not contain the genealogical information > that a death certiciate could be expected to.

George Absalom died at 40 years of age in 1807. His death certificate is: V 18072148 2A/1807. You can obtain the death certificate by application to the NSW BDM or simply use your credit card to purchase the certificate from them on the internet. There was an Esther Absolm (sic) transported for 7 years in 1803 per Glatton tried at St Albans in 1801. There may be a connection there.

All I know so far about this person is that she came to NSW in 1803 aboard the "Gatton". Could someone find out more about her, please? Rhoda

Would someone, please be able to check if the burial of George ABSALOM was recorded in the Campbelltown cemetery in 1807. Maybe there is a gravestone there. I am also looking for any other information about him, especially where he was born and the name of his wife and any children. Also if he was a free settler. Rhoda

Subj: Re: To the Jury and Rhonda Date: 8/28/03 To: <A HREF="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</A> Dear Jury: I am sorry to say that this project has come to a close.  William Randall is found innocent without prejudice.  This case is dismissed.  The jury is hung and Mr. Randall's case will not be retried.  Due to the hung jury he must go free.  All of us had strong opinions.  However, it is apparent that a discussion group for posting is not the best medium for a trial.  I have thought from the start he was guilty.  However, during the course of this project I happened to watch a film titled 12 angry men.  Now, I realize this is a contrived story.  But, the fact remains that a jury that works it out is the best solution.  This is an American film so I don't know if it can be seen in Australia.  Also, I saw a remake of the original.  I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in the process of rail roading a 2nd class or 3rd class citizen.  Also, anyone with an interest in legal process.  It takes courage to stand up against a room full of persons who do not agree with you.  However, this is the only way the legal system will work.  We must all think for ourselves and do our best not to allow our own personal bias to keep us under the influence. I have always striven to get at the truth no matter what the consequence.  I think the Randalls were as much a victim of their class standing as they were of each other.  I am certain their lives must have been very difficult.  Yet, even with all of this kept in mind I do not think Mr. Randall is innocent.  However, what is truly important is the preservation of a just legal system. I am sad to say that the United States could improve its delivery of justice.  Justice for all is in truth a selective process.  Justice for some.  I well understand that was the conditions in Australia in its not so distant past.  So, I can understand those who want to see Mr. Randall go free.  If his going free means the legal system remains unbiased then I am all for his freedom. In closing I want to thank all of you for putting up with this.  I have learned from the process and I hope each of you have in your own personal way.  I want to thank Rhonda for this wonderful opportunity.  She is a good woman with the personal strength of Hercules. You have all been wonderful. Very Truly Yours, Arleen Betos
