Good morning list members, I am looking for any descendants of the Irwin/Sweeney families, a daughter Johanna Irwin was born c.1847 Yass and wed John Thomas Sweeney bc.1846 Sydney, on 6/12/1866 Young and they eventually had a large family John Thomas, Margaret Jane, James, Letitia, Jane Caroline, Arthur William, Thomas, Johanna Catherine, Elizabeth, and Albert George [later George Albert]. A witness to the birth of their children was William L Sweeney, members of the Sweeney/Irwin families could have been undertakers around Young NSW. Irene Kerr

Dear Alan, Thankyou for that information and website address. I will pass it on to my mother and see if she wants to join etc. Probably worth seeing what you get for your membership first I suppose. Regards Nicole NORTHERN NSW

Hello Nicole Yes, you can access details for the parts of the electoral roll for 1903 from the internet for NSW, and also NSW 1870 and 1879 (which is prior to the year you require). Website is http://www.ihr.com.au , however you have to pay a $40.00 annual subscription. This website also includes street and commercial directories from 1858-1919. There is also a free Post Office directory for 1872 at http://www.family.joint.net.au/content.php?mid=1 Regards Alan Eade

Dear Listers, Thankyou to all of those people who have responded so quickly to my query! I would like to take up the offer of E J Langford for a look up in the 1903. Firstly is it a census or electoral roll?? What information would you require?? Regards Nicole NORTHERN NSW

Hi Nicole, There are no census records kept except a few small towns I think and you'd have to be extremely lucky it was your town! There is a muster in 1828 I think which is in book form and CD so a family history group may have it to look up. Other incomplete very early censuses may be available too but there were more a census of convicts and where they were and of stock records of landholders. I thought no census details survived at all until I was told by someone else of the few townships that survived for some reason. Perhaps they never handed them in!!! Except for State Records, I have no further suggestion as to where you might find them to view. That is why with our censuses of recent times, there has been a push for people to say 'yes' to keeping the records on file. Those who didn't choose yes to question 60 or what ever the relevant question was, will have their records destroyed once analysed. Lynette Lynette Begg P.O.

Hi Listers I have just returned from Europe [ww1 & ww2 sites]. Would this be an appropriate site to list the photos I took of some head stones [when I have sorted thru the thousands I took - literally]? Regards Beth

Hi, Is there anyone on these lists that have HARVEY in there trees? My Harvey's had connections with Ballarat in Victoria , Broken Hill in NSW and also Moonta Mines in South Australia. They originally hailed from Cornwall in England. William HARVEY married Mary SHAW in Ballarat 1858. They had 8 children in Ballarat and 2 in Moonta. Some of these children passed in infancy, some married in Moonta and one that I know of married in Broken Hill in 1901. That being Sophia Martin HARVEY to a Patrick MALONEY. Another sister Mary Shaw HARVEY married James Henry REYNOLDS whom was also from Cornwall and there children were all born in Broken Hill. Would love to hear from anyone with a possible connection. Regards Julie

Thank you to Kaye and Laurie for your helpful response in finding details on Robert Miles. Regards Maria

When we ran a similar offer in the Spring, more members visited LostCousins in that ONE weekend than the total who attended the UK's THREE biggest family history fairs (London, York, and Gateshead). Numerous records were broken and more members found their 'lost cousins' than ever before - and this weekend promises to be even better! Feel free to SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS to your friends and relatives, on forums and mailing lists, and on other family history sites, as this will further increase the number of 'lost cousins' discovered during the weekend. (Remember that when a new member finds a 'lost cousin' the cousin is invariably an existing member - and that member could be you!) DON'T MISS OUT on this opportunity to get the benefits of subscriber status and make contact with the other members who are your living relatives! To make it as simple as possible we've prepared a checklist that will help you make the most of this great opportunity: HERE'S WHAT TO DO..... (1) Log-in at LostCousins (http://www.LostCousins.com). (2) Go to your My Ancestors page and enter as many relatives from the 1881 British Census as you can - every one is a potential link to a 'lost cousin'. Remember that most of the matches we make involve the brothers, sisters, and cousins who by 1881 had families of their own. It's important to enter your direct ancestors, BUT it's the other relatives who are likely to be the link to your 'lost cousins'! (3) Click the Search button. You'll be told within seconds if there are any new matches. (4) Go to your My Cousins page. If there are any New Contacts shown, click on 'Make Contact' or 'Reply'. (If nothing appears to happen hold down the Ctrl key and click again). (5) Once your relative has responded his or her name will be revealed, and you'll be able to start exchanging information. (6) Please click the red ? symbol alongside your cousin's name and tell us whether the person we've found is someone you already knew (you may need to hold down the Ctrl key while you click). (7) Don't worry if you don't find a 'lost cousin' immediately - new members are joining all the time. However if you're able to add some more relatives from the 1881 Census, that will speed up the process considerably. PLEASE SPREAD THE NEWS Remember to tell as many people as you can about this great offer, because you'll not only be doing them a favour, you'll be helping everyone in the LostCousins community. The more people who join, the more 'lost cousins' will be found! At the end of this email you'll find answers to some of the questions you may have. If there's any other way we can help, please email info@lostcousins.com Have a great weekend! The LostCousins Team ======== Here are answers to some of the questions you may have: Q. What happens when the offer ends - will I have to pay to stay a member? A. Free basic membership of LostCousins will continue indefinitely. Q. If I make contact with a cousin during the offer, will I still be able to contact them afterwards, even if we haven't exchanged email addresses? A. Absolutely - once contact is made you can continue sending messages through the site, and you can agree to exchange email addresses at any time. Unlike some other sites we actually help you to exchange email addresses when you're ready. Q. Suppose that I try to contact a cousin, but don't get a response before the offer ends - will I miss out? A. Absolutely not. As long as you click on 'Make Contact', then on 'Contact' in the pop-up window that appears, they'll be able to respond to you even after the offer has ended. Q. When I click on 'Make Contact' (or 'Reply') nothing happens - what do I do next? A. What you should see is a small pop-up window where you choose whether or not to exchange email addresses with your cousin. Internet Explorer and some other programs can confuse pop-ups like this with those annoying adverts that appear on less reputable sites (the Firefox browser doesn't have this problem). If you hold down the Ctrl key when you click on 'Make Contact' this usually fixes the problem (if it doesn't, then please contact us for advice). Q. What happens if my cousin doesn't reply? A. These days it's all too easy to discard important emails when we're getting rid of junk mail (sometimes our ISP or email program does this automatically). So if you don't get a response within 14 days email info@LostCousins.com and we'll follow up on your behalf. Q. If I decide I want to subscribe, are there any special offers? A. Yes, if you enter the code AUTUMN on the Subscribe page between now and Thursday 12th October you can get a subscription to 1st January 2008 - almost 15 months for the price of a 12 month subscription!

October 2006 HAT-the History of Australian Theatre www.hat-archive.com contains articles and a 15300 entry database of people who were involved in the Australian Theatre between 1860 and 1960. If you had an ancestor who toured Australia or was an Australian performer you may find them here This month I have updated the database by 300 to 15300 entries I have also added about 40 pictures, many which come from the Australasian theatre annual of 1906. Hopefully you will find what you are looking for on the website. If not I am happy to answer questions. Happy researching -Leann HAT-History of Australian Theatre www.hat-archive.com

I do know that he is reported to have died in a motor bike accident about 1965/66 in New South Wales. Perhaps this could ring a bell with any MILES family researchers.
