Hello fellow listers. Further to my original posting on 16 Mar 2000 concerning Lambert/Bradshaw in the Wilcannia area (check the Mar 2000 Archive), we have obtained a death certificate of George Lambert, the seventh child of Eugenie Matilda Lambert (nee Bradshaw) from her second? relationship. He died on 6 Jul 1898 at Lake Dick and was buried there the following day. He was just 5 days old. Names which appear on this certificate include Alex Munro JP, registered at Wilcannia by J Laidlaw on 18 Jul 1898, James Kelly was the undertaker, and witnesses to the burial were J J Peat? and William Kennedy (possibly the father). Lake Dick is located about 40 km north of Wilcannia, west of the Paroo River and is on "Tillenbumrie?" Station. The proprietor informed me that there was an old shack and possible small graves on the edge of the lake, each fenced- off with chickenwire. Most have since been covered with sand drifts. He wondered why people would be living there in the first place! We have applied for a couple of more certificates for the registered death and birth of two more of the children, in the hope that further information may be gleaned which will help find out what happened to Eugenie and the other four children whose fate has not been recorded: William b 1891, Lena b 1892, Hilda b 1894 and Dalis Y b 1899. This last child was the 13th for Eugenie, giving birth at 41 years of age. Our hope is that someone may know something of the history of this area, to explain why this family should be in such a relatively remote location during the 1890's depression years and leading up to severe drought conditions towards the end of the 19th century. Perhaps some on the names mentioned may ring a bell. I am following up the possibility that Wiliam Kennedy may have been in the employ or contracted to Station owners in the area. Unfortunately, one likely source was the Kidman Family, but most of their early records were destroyed by fire in Adelaide. The search for Eugenie and her children goes on!
