Hello members of the AUS-NSW-SURNAMES mailing list, currently hosted on Rootsweb/Ancestry servers. My name is Peter and I have been the list administrator of this list since it was abandoned. I have no idea when it was abandoned nor who the previous admin was. On 7th January 2020, Rootsweb informed all list admins that they will not be providing any mailing list services after 2nd March 2020, except to keep the archives available (see RW email appended below). In other words, all lists will cease to be. If members want to keep this list active, they will need to host it on a new server. A number of such servers exist, such as groups.io, FaceBook, google groups. I personally do not wish to remain the admin of this list, so one of the members will need to step up as a new administrator if they want to keep this list alive. As a side comment, I think that many of the smaller lists were created on a person's whim in Rootsweb's heyday, and are probably past reviving. I can't remember when the last post to this list was. If there are any questions, please post them to the list, but do it quickly as time is running out quickly. Cheers Peter ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state. Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb. As an alternative to RootsWeb Mailing Lists, Ancestry message boards are a great option to network with others in the genealogy community. Message boards are available for free with an Ancestry registered account. Thank you for being part of the RootsWeb family and contributing to this community. Sincerely, The RootsWeb team ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hi also from the UK! Garton was her married name, which she was still using in 2003. Not sure if she has remarried since.

Hello subscribers to the aus-nsw-surnames mailing list. All Rootsweb mailing lists have been nearly dead for the last two or so years. In February this year, Rootsweb upgraded the software that runs their 30,000 or so mailing lists, and after a few teething problems, the system is now up and running. The archives of past posts are gradually being restored, but this may take months. Subscribers may notice minor differences. The main difference for you is that you can register as a subscriber and then be able to adjust options for how you receive emails (e.g. single posts or digests in plain or MIME format, halt mail while on holidays and a few more things). Or you can just leave things as they are. As a reminder, this mailing list is for research into specific surnames in NSW Australia To post to this list or respond to a post, use the email address aus-nsw-surnames@rootsweb.com For questions about the operation of this list, please contact the list administrator at aus-nsw-surnames-owner@rootsweb.com Your list is back up, so if you want to keep it active and ongoing, please post your queries or information to the list.

Hi Ducie, My name is Lynne Stoddart & my late ex-husband had a connection with a Patrick Riley in that region. I am not at home where the information is BUT, if you can wait another month I'll be able to reply to you with a better idea if they are one in the same or not. Some names in there are familiar & I also have a book at home listing certain pioneer families in the region that I think you've mentioned so will look them up for you too ! Does that sound ok to you ?? My daughter has just had a Brain Tumor removed & I am with her during her recovery period. I'll contact you once I'm home & have had a few days to recover from my travels.

Patricia and Jean, many thanks for helping me with my question. From what Patricia sent me, it is possible that Edwin was the son of Jane and Charles Johnson born in 1876 in Armidale. The NSW death registry indicates that a Charles Johnson died in 1878 in Armidale. It is possible that the Jane Johnson who married George Thomas Faint in 1879 was a widow and the mother of Edwin Johnson. Possibly, George adopted Edwin and he was known as Edwin Faint. Jane's information proved that Edwin had existed. I had not considered that Edwin may have been adopted and that was why he was not in the NSW birth registry as a Faint.

Parents of Edwin Henry Faint - George Thomas Faint born Gostwyk, New South Wales on 24 Aug 1858, married Jane Harriet Johnson (1860-1935) on 18 Mar 1879 at Armidale, NSW.

George Faint parents in BDM in Queensland 1928 are George Faint and Elizabeth Munsey. Regards, Jean Gympie, Qld.
I am trying to find the names, origin, and details of the parents of Edwin Henry Faint. Supposedly, he was born abt 1876 in Armidale Dist. However, I could not find any record of this in the NSW BDM index. I found a record of his death in 1955 in Lismore, NSW and his marriage to Mary Ann Greber in 1898 in Lismore, NSW. His death record indicates his parents were George Edwin Faint and Harriett Jane (UNKNOWN). Other undocumented sources have tried to attach him to George Thomas Faint born 1857 and married in 1879. [This marriage date does not match Edwin's supposed birth in 1876.] All of Edwin's children were born in the northern area of NSW (Lismore, Ballina, and Casino). I have searched the Queensland and NSW BDM indices, FamilySearch, and other databases/indices and could not find the parents George Edwin and Harriett Jane Faint nor could I confirm the birth of Edwin Henry Faint in 1876 in Armidale, NSW. Any help or pointers anyone could provide me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Art in New Hampshire, USA
Glad to be of help Art. :) Cheers, Marita -----Original Message----- From: AUS-NSW-SURNAMES [mailto:aus-nsw-surnames-bounces+marita.bird=optusnet.com.au@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Art Faint Sent: Wednesday, 8 November 2017 5:24 AM To: AUS-NSW-SURNAMES Subject: [AUS-NSW-SURNAMES] Albert J Faint is Alfred J Faint (1864-1899 of Tumut) My thanks to all who responded to my query. Because of your responses, I realized I was chasing the wrong elephant. Apparently in my notes, I had copied the name Albert down incorrectly instead of Alfred. Alfred J Faint was the son of George Peter Faint (born 1822 in England). The websites provided have greatly assisted me in my research of the George and Elizabeth Faint family.

Hi again Art, Just following on from my last email, I haven't been able to find anything to confirm the Joseph Albert/Albert Joseph theory. Then I thought, perhaps you had gotten confused with the Alfred J FAINT that belonged to the other George FAINT in Tumut, and maybe there is no Albert J born to George & Elizabeth?? Anyway, while I was looking, it occurred to me you might like to have a look at these couple of websites (links below). http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/result?sortby=dateAsc <http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/result?sortby=dateAsc&l-state=New+South+W ales&q=%22George+FAINT%22&l-availability=y&l-australian=y> &l-state=New+South+Wales&q=%22George+FAINT%22&l-availability=y&l-australian= y - Trove is an Australian site, and is an amazing source for genealogists and historians. When you open the link, you may be asked to register before you can view it, but it's free to register, and well worth the time to do so. The content is constantly updated, so keep checking back to the site every so often and you may find more! If you need any help with further searching or navigating Trove, just ask! :) www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=FAINT&GSbyrel=all&GSdyrel=all &GScntry=15&GSob=n&GRid=141349656&df=all& - Find A Grave is a worldwide site, similar to Billion Graves (not sure if you know about these sites). http://www.australiancemeteries.com.au/ - Australian Cemeteries website is obviously Australian. Not all the cemeteries have information - some have photos, some have transcripts only, some have links to other websites where you may or may not find more information. http://austcemindex.com/ - Australian Cemeteries Index - not all cemeteries are included on here, but there are a lot, mainly NSW cemeteries. Like Find A Grave & Billion Graves, this site relies on volunteers taking photos, uploading them, and then having the photos transcribed, so it's always a good idea to revisit the site/s every now and then to see if any new records exist. I couldn't find any records for Joseph FAINT in any of the cemetery websites, but I hope these links are of help anyway!

Perhaps that's where you got confused with the Year & Place of birth. I'd say it is a fair to good probability that the Joseph you have (b. 1867) is the same person as Albert J, assuming the J stands for Joseph as you suggested in your previous email! Again, you'll need to get his birth certificate, or perhaps find another record, to confirm this. :) I have found often too, that different records have the given names in the opposite order. So even though you may have found a record showing Joseph as the first name, it may in fact be Albert Joseph. :) I didn't get a chance to look into this last night. I will see if I can find anything now, to confirm/deny the name. :) Cheers, Marita -----Original Message----- From: AUS-NSW-SURNAMES [ <mailto:aus-nsw-surnames-bounces+marita.bird=optusnet.com.au@rootsweb.com> mailto:aus-nsw-surnames-bounces+marita.bird=optusnet.com.au@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Art Faint Sent: Tuesday, 7 November 2017 6:32 AM To: <mailto:aus-nsw-surnames@rootsweb.com> aus-nsw-surnames@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [AUS-NSW-SURNAMES] Albert J Faint, Tumut or Armidale NSW b abt 1864 or 1867 Patricia and Lindsay, the BDM site you referred me to has proven invaluable for information on others in the family.

He had a family in Yorkshire Engl and then married Ann Esther Parmenter in 1863 in Tumut, NSW. The BDM listed showed Albert J Faint son of George P Faint and Ann E having died in 1899 in Tumut.

That's where I would start -- a search for births with surname FAINT and parents' given names George and Elizabeth produced 7 births (the entry for Hannah seems to be there 4 times), all registered in Armidale between 1859 and 1871. No Albert there, and I could not find a birth entry for Albert FAINT or F*NT -- but further searching might locate him or other siblings. Another possibility is Trove providing free online access to most Australian newspapers to 1954. See <http://trove.nla.gov.au/> http://trove.nla.gov.au/ and click on "Digitised newspapers and more" for searches. When using the NSW BMD Indexes, it is possible to work out the exact date of birth/marriage/death -- email me direct if that would help.
