Posted with permission from MargM Lake Macquarie & District Historical Society Inc. will be open from 10am on Saturday and Sunday of the Heritage Afloat Festival at Toronto, Easter Weekend. Lake Macquarie Heritage Centre, Victory Parade, Toronto, NSW. The restored Railway Station houses the memorabilia, archives and the historical photograph collection of the Lake Macquarie & District Historical Society. Heritage Afloat is recognised as the most significant and distinctive lakeside event in Lake Macquarie - the largest saltwater lake in Australia, which offers something for everyone! This very successful major maritime event will again be held over two days on the Easter Long Weekend, Saturday 7th April and Sunday 8th April 2007 at Toronto, Lake Macquarie. The festival utilises the Toronto foreshore, the parklands, launching ramps and the enclosure and jetties for a wide range of marine related activities. Heritage Afloat includes the participation and exhibition of traditional and classic boats - steam, sail, motor and oared craft of all sizes from all over Australia. A parade of boats, sailing, Putt-Putt and rowing races, a nautical treasure hunt, demonstrations, blessing of the fleet, displays relating to heritage boat activities, boats and boat bits on sale, vintage cars and hotrods, kids games, live entertainment and of course the "Quick and Dirty" boat building competition all combine to make Heritage Afloat a wonderful experience for people of all ages. Food and wine outlets both around and on the foreshore will cater for all tastes whilst live entertainment - jazz, rock and folk - will be on the Rotunda throughout the weekend.

Dear Stephanie, Under that spelling I did not find Rosanna HART either marrying or death registered until 1945. Similarly she did not appear on the Australasian Genealogical Computer Index. There is the birth of John HART to Henry and Rosanna registered ANNANDALE, a Sydney suburb 1914/27293, hardly likely to be her as the mother. Sincerely,Bill > Hello list > I'm new on today with one of my 'brick walls" in search of Rosanna HART > (born circa 1838 Ireland?) >

Hello list I'm new on today with one of my 'brick walls" in search of Rosanna HART (born circa 1838 Ireland?) Rosanna was the daughter of John McConaghy and Mary Ann McAuley. John (born circa 1810 seagoe, ireland) was in the 52nd Regiment. On retirement came to NZ as Fencible soldier with wife Mary, 3 children including Rosanna and Elizabeth in 1848. Rosanna McCONAGHY married James HART, 58th Regiment, in Auckland, New Zealand 1854. James Jnr born Akl 1855. HART's moved to Sydney during 1857. Daughter Elizabeth Winifred HART born in Sydney Aug 1857. James HART apparently in New South Wales Mounted Police or similar at this time.(not on State Archives online index) Family returned to Auckland 1864. Then the scandal hits! Rosanna apparently returned to Sydney (or somewhere in Australia) , without her family, to become an opera singer! James HART continued to live out his days in NZ along with his two children. Rosanna HART may have changed her name, remarried (illegally) or had more children. Does anyone have any ideas where to search for Rosanna. I have not been able to look up any cemetery records, or Death Indexes after around 1899, perhaps there is a very kind person out there who might be able help. She does appear to be on the 1903 electoral roll. Haven't found the family or Rosanna on inward shipping lists to NSW - i'm not having much luck am I?. Cheers Stephanie Niederberger New Plymouth New Zealand

Dear Caroline, George has a Probate Number 499800 which is marked Eln. You can look at and copy this packet at State Records, KINGSWOOD, but looking at your email address that may not be around the corner.. Many people say that Eln packets do not contain much, but last week I found one with 21 relatives each making an Affidavit setting out how they were related to the deceased to claim part of his estate.

Do you know his children???????? You could look for their births etc on www.bdm.nsw.gov.au you might find some info on electoral rolls, census, take a look on the state records site www.nsw.gov.au there may be something there. You should be able to find something on him seeing it is so recent.

Hi All I have just been to Sydney to organize some home care for my dad, and while there visited the Balmain Library in Darling Street, Balmain. It sits below the Balmain Town Hall. They have a family history section. While there I looked through the "Leichhardt Historical Journals" to find my great great grandfather was the first unofficial post master of Leichhardt Post Office in the 1880's. They paid him ten pounds per year, and he ran the post office from his general store. "Purdie's Store".

Hello Maureen, Unfortunately Ina Terrace no longer exists. It was demolished in the late 1960-early 1970 period to make way for Edgecliff Station on the Eastern Suburbs Line. I have two bricks from the demolished building. My grandfather occupied No. 2 Ina Terrace and my mother and a couple of her siblings were born there 1909-1915 period roughly. In a book about early Paddington (which I have) there is a photo of Ina Terrace. Contact me off list if you'd like me to scan the photo for you.

Hi all, Hoping someone can help. Have just found that an ancestor sold a terrace building in Paddington in 1882. Ina Terrace, named after Angus WESTON's wife Ina Mary, was situated in New South Head Road, Paddington. It was sold to a Sydney solicitor named A. FAILFORD for a ridiculous sum of money by today's standards. Does anyone know if it's still standing? And if it is, what sort of condition it's in. Cheers, Maureen (Melbourne)
