This part of the message interests us, as we have great great grandfather James ALLEN who married Ann DUNSTAR at the Presbyterian Church, Jamberoo on 18 Jan 1850. We obtained a photocopy of the marriage register entry from microfilm, which has the signatures of both John & Catherine RITCHIE of Jamberoo as witnesses to the marriage. We think that James ALLEN (born Kent circa 1818) was a convict. Is it possible that at the time of his marriage, he may have been assigned to John RITCHIE? Would anyone know the name of the property on which he may have worked? We do know that he later worked for Alexander BERRY as a fencer at Cooloongatta. Would appreciate any information.

Hi all Re Heritage activities. I will be doing Saturday night ghost hunts of Picton on Sat 17 April and Sat 24 April. These are run from the historic George IV Hotel 7-30- c. midnight. The hunt is run around a 3 course meal. Victims, sorry participants start the night with the entree then I take them out through the Lower Picton streets and the graveyard to places where ghosts have been seen or heard telling lots of horrible gory tales. Then the main course after which I take them to the area above the hotel to the school and then through the really scarey disused and very haunted railway tunnel telling more stories. The night ends with dessert and coffee to stop the pounding hearts. Cost for the whole night is only $35-00. Bookings can be made by phoning me on 02 4677 2044. Bookings and prepayment essential.

To Keri Webb, Re your query of Webbs in Goulburn area in 1800's. I have a Walter Webb in my husband's family - married to Ellen Rebecca Bryant in the Crookwell/Goulburn area. They had 3 children - so I have been told, but I haven't been able to find much about them. Walter moved to the Taree area and remarried but don't know what happened to 1st family. Could there be a connection with your Webb? Anyone else doing Webb/Bryant family names?? Dorothy Warwick dot-pete@acay.com.au Dorothy Warwick

The family group on this return ie married woman and children is most likely to be the wife and children of his "brother" Thomas Wright. After many years of research (20+) it is still unclear the exact relationships in the family of John Ritchie of Jamberoo. John Ritchie arrived as a convict on the ship Somersetshire in 1814. His wife and two boys John and William arrived the following year. Family stories say that only John was actually his son. William was the son of Mary his wife at the time who he had married as a widow "with money" in London. This would explain his ability to purchase an additional 300 acres to that of his grant at Jamberoo (also 300 acres) after serving the period to obtain a TOL and CP. William Ritchie (under his name on arrival) also obtained a 60 acre grant at Jamberoo, called Figtree Flat. He seemed to start using the name Wright again after the marriage of John Ritchie to Mary Anne Enright in 1838, and the births of their three children. This change can be confirmed from Title transfers at LTO. Neither of the deaths (Mary or Mary Anne) are recorded and John Ritchie married for the FOURTH time in 1848 to Catherine Murphy. In 1828 John Ritchie asked for a person he desribed as his son, a bricklayer, to be allowed to come to NSW. This description fits Thomas Wright who seems to have arrived in 1835 with his wife and family. Frank McCaffrey says that Thomas came via serving as a convict in Tasmania-have been unable to confirm this or otherwise but it seems unlikely. William Wright died in 1864 aged 60 at Jamberoo.

I would be interested to see anything on the Davis family at Jamberoo (published?) as I have been looking at the Jamberoo /Kiama District records for some time. In September this year the Illawarra Family History Group published an index to Kiama Court Records 1852-1863 which I have compiled over a number of years. This has records of various members of the Wright and Ritchie families at Jamberoo. I know the locations (Bellambi and Jamberoo) are quite well separated by distance but one "unlikely" explanation for the similar signatures could revolve around the same collector of the census??? >Any help will be greatly appreciated as this has been one big headache! > >Sincere thanks >Carol Cain >caindc@magna.com.au > Lorraine Neate kenneate@tig.com.au >==== AUS-NSW-SE Mailing List ==== >History and genealogy in South-East New South Wales, Australia >

There is an on-line translation service by Altavista at http://babelfish.altavista.digital.com/ It can handle translations to and from Emglish and other European main languages. HOWEVER, as for other automated translations :- It defaults to common meanings, not necessarily the context meant It does not handle all words, especially dialects. Older meanings and grammar cause problems, etc. It can handle only a certain amount of text at a time so you may have to copy larger paragraphs to and from a word processor or text file. Some personal / town names may have literla transaltions and should not actually be translated. It cannot know about chnages in names / towns over time It is good as a short hand source, but keep a dictionary handy and check with someone who speaks the language of you can.

Dear Jennifer, Hi, You wrote in part .... With considerable assistance from the Medway family, I have located the original "Baltinglass" homestead and have commenced an archaeological survey of the remains. This is an integral component of my PhD research. I have been searching for any paintings or illustrations of the building so far without success. "Baltinglass" is located on Portion 9a, Parish of Gunning, County of King, a 799 acres block of land that was issued as a Grant by Purchase to Samuel Clayton on 15 January 1839. .................................................................................... Did Samuel Clayton name the homestead "Baltinglass" ? Baltinglass is a town in west Wicklow, Ireland. It is the scene for quite a few trials in the 1798 Irish Rebellion. It's gaol housed a few Rebels who were eventually transported to NSW. Regards, Peter Mayberry http://www.pcug.org.au/~ppmay/

I have found that I have a Berrima/Goulburn gg grandfather William Webb. His wife Eliza had 4 children in Berrima - (what appears to be their first child David William b:1857, was my great grandfather) followed 4 in Goulburn, and so far that is all I know about them. I would like to find out as much as I can about them and would appreciate any ideas how to proceed. Would anyone know when and why these two towns sprang up, and how I might find out what this William Webb's occupation was? Many thanks for any ideas here, Keri http://www.iinet.com.au/~watson/webb/HumAgain.html

Hope you have had a great Christmas! Have decided to answer Liz Vincent's e-mails via the list, in the hope that it may save some effort, and hopefully sort out some confusion. I really appreciate your help, one and all! With considerable assistance from the Medway family, I have located the original "Baltinglass" homestead and have commenced an archaeological survey of the remains. This is an integral component of my PhD research. I have been searching for any paintings or illustrations of the building so far without success. "Baltinglass" is located on Portion 9a, Parish of Gunning, County of King, a 799 acres block of land that was issued as a Grant by Purchase to Samuel Clayton on 15 January 1839. However ...Liz there seems to be a considerable number of amount of confusion arising in some local histories about these Gunning properties: 1. Re Liz Vincent's notice: "Meant to mention Tempe's book also has a list of earliest grants. G.M. Woodehouse 500 acres 26 July 1834 Parish of Gunning 11a County King one and a half miles NE of Gunning name of pty Wooloowandella" . My answer: Portion 11a, Parish of Gunning, County of King, was a Grant by Purchase issued to John Kennedy Hume which comprised 935 acres and was issued on 26 July 1834 [the same date as the issue to Woodhouse]. It was land originally founded as the property of "Wollawardella" by Hamilton Hume, when accompanied by his brother-in-law George Barber and William Henry Broughton, they travelled in as far as the location of Gunning in 1821 - 1822. "Wollawardella" [written as "Wooloowandella" in the List of Grants] became encompassed within the property of "Collingwood". However, the Woodhouse property comprised Portion 6 [1030 acres] and Portion 7 [500 acres] in the Parish of Garway, County of King. The Woodhouse property was named "Burregong". Now ... In her book "Glimpses of the History of Gunning" Tempe Longmire states on page 41 that [quote] "Dr. Clayton lived at "Baltinglass" with his wife and nine children until 1853 ... The beautifully preserved homestead can be seen from the railway line". Now ... on page 40 of the same book, there is an illustration of a homestead she has named "Boureong". It is described as being built in the late 1840s. Can anyone identify this illustration? Is this the home now owned by Roger Medway that I am told was built c. 1875. Is this the house near the railway line? If so, it is built on Portion 6a, Parish of Gunning, County of King, land originally issued as a grant by purchase to Peter Best on 23 September 1839. If the house indicated by Tempe Longmire [above] "was built c. 1875" as the current owner suggests, it could not possibly have been built by Benjamin Clayton who died at Balmain, NSW in 1854. The owner's belief that the house was built c. 1875 also contradicts the statement of significance quoted by Tempe Longmire as being issued by the Australian Heritage Commission and the National Trust that the house was built in the 1840s! So who lived in the house illustrated on p.40 of Tempe Longmire named as "Boureong". Now you can understand why I must find someone descended from someone who lived on these properties. Hopefully someone, somewhere will have some association with these families and the homes in which they lived. Kind regards, and thanks for taking the time to read this long and involved saga.

Hi Jennifer I lived in Gunning for about three years from 1981 to 1984. The town is a shadow of its former self and even when I was there there were many deserted builings. I have just checked my copy of "Historical Landmarks of Gunning Shire", no mention, which suggests it is no longer standing. However perhaps by contacting the Gunning Historical Society, don't worry about an exact address, there's only 10 people and two dogs there, a letter will find them. Colin Brown was the contact in 1992. Another book which I only have extracts from is "A Glimpse of the History of Gunning/Tempe Longmire may be useful.

Hope you've all had a great Christmas! Additional information re the WOODHOUSE, CLAYTON and WYSE saga at Gunning, NSW comes from the Yass Courier, 19 December, 1857. It reported that in the Court of Petty Sessions for Thursday 17 December, that Walter WOODHOUSE, keeper of the Golden Fleece Inn, at Gunning [NSW] was charged with permitting unlicensed music and dancing on the premises on the 4 December, 1857. James WYSE appeared for the defendant giving evidence that it was a private party being held to celebrate the birth of one of the Woodhouse children. The case was dismissed. Does anyone have a local history of the Gunning district? If so, would you please be so kind as to check the index for any entries that may be relevant to the above.
