HAT-History of Australian Theatre www.hat-archive.com If you had ancestors who were involved in the Australian Theatre you may find their name on the 14700 entry database that covers the years 1850-1960. It includes the names of people who toured Australia during those years. June update Just a small update this month as I have been moving and have just started a new job.

I have the following surnames that 'started' in the New England area, particularly focused around Walcha and environs and in the late 1800s into the early 1900s. More recent generations are known to be on the coast and down into the Hunter Valley and as further south to Sydney and beyond. Hoping there are some connections on this list today.

Hi Everyone I am wondering if anyone out there had an ancestor who arrived on the "Countess Russell", 1873, in QLD and then they worked for Peak Downs mine. Maybe then they travelled to NSW.

Hi all I'm researching James Sydney Taylor circ 1811. James married Sarah EDWARDS in Sydney in 1832. They had the following children: James Sydney 1832 John 1833 Thomas 1835 Mary Ann 1837 According to the records, James Sydney Taylor was born "in the Colony" although he doesn't appear on the BDM Index for NSW.

Hi Listers, I have an original photo of a couple called Dr and Mrs James Jarvie Hood, If anyone can prove they are part of their family I will send the photo to them.

Hi Yvonne, How very kind of you to make the offer I appreciate you kindness. I will highlight the ones of interest, but I think I am interested in virtually everything at this point. The ones in Red I believe to be very important, and the others I am not sure of will be in green. If you don't mind I think I should just send you a document of what I do have, which is still not complete, but you may be able to fill in some gaps for me. Hopefully, you will have more information available, or shall I say, most of what I have is basically from Indexes, as I do not have much in the way of actual source documents. If this is going to be a burden, please feel free to tell me so, you need not be or feel obligated in any way, that would be unfair. I am trying to connect and prove the connection between Thomas Rogerson from Forbes and his family, to a Thomas Rogerson in Brierly, Felkirk, Yorkshire. So anything connected to him is of great importance. As well as where his wife Mary Miller came from and as much as possible about her. I need to know when and where his son William John Rogerson was born, and whatever I can about Martha Newell and her family. My two sons that live in Townsville have given my husband Bill "William John Rogerson" Generation 7, No. 14. tickets to visit them as a 60th and 70th birthday present, and we will be stopping in Sydney to go to Forbes for three days to make a sort of pilgrimage to the place of his ancestor's before we go up to our children. So I am hoping to get as full a picture as possible before we leave in less than two weeks time.
