Dear Marg, I don't know of any that were buried by Kinsela, but as a kid I recall the building with black plate glass windows, just off the intersetion of Taylor Square and adjacent to the Court complex, the rear part of what was in days gone by Darlinghurst Goal where the prison tram to Long Bay went in. Often when we went shopping to a butcher and grocer just around the corner from there in the 1950's the funeral cortage would be assembling. I am not aware of what year, but the building did become a nightclub with the same name. Charles Kinsela I think is the name they used in the period I am talking about. In later years there was also a Kinsela operating on the northern beaches as a funeral director.

Hello List, I am looking for a Henry Joseph Edwin EXTON, born around 1870 in Sydney, but I can't find him anywhere, have looked online and even looked on the fiche at LDS for NSW. Would anyone have any idea, could he have been missed being recorded when he was born? The family were at Camperdown and his two sisters were reg. at Newtown. Please can someone do a look up in Sydney for me? Thank you Jean in Brisbane Switch to Yahoo!7 Mail: Transfer all your contacts and emails from Hotmail and other providers to Yahoo!7 Mail. http://au.docs.yahoo.com/mail/trueswitch_info.html

Thanks Marg The James Service you mention is another person bearing this reasonably common name. My great grandfather lived at " Grillagh'' Carrington Street Randwick ( I have a photo of the house ) and his brother lived in a group of terraces he built for his family in Rae Street Randwick - they emigrated from Grillagh, Maghera, County Derry my great grandfather in 1867 aged 20 and his brother a few years earlier and they set up their produce store about this time - strategically located not too from the army barracks and its many hungry horses. I don't know what happened to the store but my great grandfather did well enough to retire when he was 30, drink lots of whisky and die in his 90s . Although the name service is relatively common I have had no luck in locating the descendants of William Service my grand mother's uncle although I know the names of his children and have photos of them and some of thier children. Your Kinsela's index sounds as if it is going to very helpful to a lot of people. As you mention the Kinsela building or site was later a night club or theatre restaurant - my mother used to point it out to me in connection with her grandfather's store.

Hi Rusheen, The Garden Place... I stumbled across this building years ago whilst researching. The GP took 11 years to build, opened in 1879 and burnt to the ground in 1882! :o http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/about/aboutHistory.asp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden_Palace Perhaps if you call the State Library they may be able to help you. :) http://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/ Also search the Picman database... http://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/picman/ An example... http://tinyurl.com/2gqyey Or the Powerhouse Museum database... http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/collection/database/ type in 'medallions'.

I have this commemorative medal that has been passed down in my husband's family, but I have no idea what it is commemorating. 4cm wide silver medal. On one side: Around the rim 'COMMEMORATION MEDAL *' 'N.S.WALES 1879' Centre of medal - An engraving of the Garden Palace, Sydney (unnamed). Under the building are the words 'Evan Jones 11 Hunter St Sydney'. On the other side: Around the rim '* TO COMMEMORATE *' 'THE GRAND NATIONAL DEMONSTRATION.' Centre of medal - An engraving of a handshake. Above is the word 'UNITED'. Below is the date 'NOVEMBER 10 1879' I understand that the Sydney International Exhibition opened on 17 Sept 1879 at the Garden Palace. There were commercial and industrial exhibitions from Britain, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, France, Holland, America, Singapore and the Straits Settlements, Japan, India, Fiji and the Australasian colonies. But what was The Grand National Demonstration of 10 Nov 1879? Were these medals for sale to the general public? Why I ask this last question is that we have a scale model of the ancestor John Chadwick's steam engine that has a plaque with his name and 1879 on it. He was an engineer. A larger version of the engine used to be in the Museum of Technology. The 'Evan Jones' is only in small writing and the name means nothing to me. I looked him up to find his emu inkstand at the Powerhouse Museum, and that he later held public office in Sydney. But then I didn't look at all the Evan Jones. Regards .................Rusheen.

Hi everyone Thanks for your input on this - there seems to be a lot of possibilities! I will start off with the Catholic options - then move further afield. I do have a photo (somewhere) of her in her nurses uniform. I wonder if uniforms were specific to the hospitals? Any ideas? I'm fairly sure she was not in a maternity hospital. Many thanks Tony for all the trouble you have gone to to find all that information. It is much appreciated. Kind regards Cathy Geelong Vic

Hi All There was also the Royal Alexandria Hospital for Children at Camperdown, where I spent six months as a child. I used to lie in bed and smell the chocolate from the Westons Biscuit Factory which was just across the road. The hospital is still there, but in ruins and destined to become inner city housing I suppose. I also remember Lewisham Hospital.

Montrose Maternity Hospital Burwood: http://tinyurl.com/3d2wmk http://www.health.nsw.gov.au/history/med_admin/pdf/app9.pdf Montrose Maternity Hospital Burwood This maternity hospital was opened on 17 January 1920, to provide obstetric facilities for a special group of women, many unmarried, who were socially or economically bereft and unable or unwilling to afford obstetric care. It operated in conjunction with the Fernleigh Rest Home, although not exclusively so, and there was a free interchange of patients to and fro. It had a resident staff of a matron, two double certificated nurses and five obstetric trainees. Accommodation was provided for sixteen maternity cases in three wards, and it was used to capacity with a yearly case load varying from 100 to 150 confinements. It was recognised as an obstetric training school for general trained nurses, and its confinements were conducted by the nursing staff with assistance when necessary from a visiting medical staff of five obstetricians. It became redundant as additional obstetric beds became available in the metropolitan hospitals, and it closed on 12 May 1930, the premises being transferred to the Child Welfare Department. Fernleigh Rest Home (Pre and Post-maternity) Ashfield This institution was formerly the residence of Mr W. Ducker, from whom the Government purchased the property in 1919. The rest home was opened in January 1920, and was really an auxiliary unit to Montrose Maternity Hospital. Its name aptly describes its function and `it catered for the poorer mothers from the crowded suburban areas´. It did provide the opportunity for pregnant mothers in distressed circumstances or with large families to have a period of rest and recuperation before returning to the stresses of their environment. It closed in January 1930, as a preliminary to the closing of Montrose Maternity Hospital,and the premises were sold to the Freemasons to establish the Masonic Hospital Ashfield, still one of the superior private hospitals. http://www.health.nsw.gov.au/links/index.html Lewisham General Hospital and Lewisham Private was run by the Sisters (Little Company of Mary).

Montrose Maternity Hospital Burwood: http://tinyurl.com/3d2wmk http://www.health.nsw.gov.au/history/med_admin/pdf/app9.pdf Montrose Maternity Hospital Burwood This maternity hospital was opened on 17 January 1920, to provide obstetric facilities for a special group of women, many unmarried, who were socially or economically bereft and unable or unwilling to afford obstetric care. It operated in conjunction with the Fernleigh Rest Home, although not exclusively so, and there was a free interchange of patients to and fro. It had a resident staff of a matron, two double certificated nurses and five obstetric trainees. Accommodation was provided for sixteen maternity cases in three wards, and it was used to capacity with a yearly case load varying from 100 to 150 confinements. It was recognised as an obstetric training school for general trained nurses, and its confinements were conducted by the nursing staff with assistance when necessary from a visiting medical staff of five obstetricians. It became redundant as additional obstetric beds became available in the metropolitan hospitals, and it closed on 12 May 1930, the premises being transferred to the Child Welfare Department. Fernleigh Rest Home (Pre and Post-maternity) Ashfield This institution was formerly the residence of Mr W. Ducker, from whom the Government purchased the property in 1919. The rest home was opened in January 1920, and was really an auxiliary unit to Montrose Maternity Hospital. Its name aptly describes its function and `it catered for the poorer mothers from the crowded suburban areas´. It did provide the opportunity for pregnant mothers in distressed circumstances or with large families to have a period of rest and recuperation before returning to the stresses of their environment. It closed in January 1930, as a preliminary to the closing of Montrose Maternity Hospital,and the premises were sold to the Freemasons to establish the Masonic Hospital Ashfield, still one of the superior private hospitals. http://www.health.nsw.gov.au/links/index.html Lewisham General Hospital and Lewisham Private was run by the Sisters (Little Company of Mary). The hospital buildings are still there in West St. Some photos: http://tinyurl.com/2noat4 This is the only Catholic one I can think of in that area. If all else fails, may I suggest you send an e-mail to NSW Archives to see what they suggest: http://www.records.nsw.gov.au Cheers, Tony Moore (Castle Hill, NSW) @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ On 12 May 2007 at 18:50, Cathy Haynes wrote: From: Cathy Haynes <cathy_haynes@iinet.net.au> To: aus-nsw-sydney@rootsweb.com Date sent: Sat, 12 May 2007 18:50:35 +1000 Subject: [ANS] Teaching hospitals Inner West 1920-1930 Send reply to: cathy_haynes@iinet.net.au, aus-nsw-sydney@rootsweb.com > Hi List > Needing some advice as to where to start looking. > My grandmother trained to be a nurse in a hospital in the inner west of > Sydney (Burwood/Homebush area) in the above time frame. > Firstly, any idea which hospitals in those areas might have been > teaching hospitals?

In the 1903 NSW Electoral roll James SERVICE, a joiner, was at 179 Albion St Surry Hills. A trawl thru a few years of the Sands PO dirs would help Bye MargM Sydney List Admin

Hi List Needing some advice as to where to start looking. My grandmother trained to be a nurse in a hospital in the inner west of Sydney (Burwood/Homebush area) in the above time frame. Firstly, any idea which hospitals in those areas might have been teaching hospitals? She was Catholic, so that may have some bearing. Any ideas who might have the records? Many thanks in advance Cathy Geelong Vic

Hi Marg This is not exactly the information you seek but my grandmother told me that the produce store owned by her father James Service and his brother William was on the site later occupied by Kinsellas funeral parlour - it is possible as the family lived in the area that they later used the services it provided.
