Good afternoon List, The abovenamed was a world recognized Ear Nose and Throat Specialist who was born in Toowoomba, QLD on 30 Sep 1879 and died in Sydney in 1949. A specific date of death is unknown at this stage but because of his professional seniority I feel certain that the SMH would have published an Obituary in addition to a death/funeral announcement I would be grateful for any help that can be extended to me in this regard and of course would also welcome the opportunity to exchange data with anyone researching this well known name.

This is a list of the 27 Hoffmann familles that I have established migrated to Australia in the 19th century. I am of opinion that they are not connected except that Johan Samuel Hoffmann had two sisters. The information I have entered here has been extracted from list wide emails and other historical documents that are available in the public arena. I have withheld some information that has been sent by personal emails or letters. There are about five more familles that I have not included because the dates do not match the era I am interested in and I cannot tie them up to families listed here. There is also a couple of families about whom I cannot develop a logical conclusion for various reasons. I am sure that I have not listed all the Hoffmann families that migrated to Australia in the 19th century but this is a good start. Hopefully this is of interest to others. Hopefully somebody can/will help me fill in the blank spaces so that we might finish up with the same full picture of each family. If I have duplicated then please tell me. If I have wrong information then please tell me. My next interest is to gather some stories of why they came, where they settled and how they lived. Albert Grulke 1.

I have extensive (almost complete) listings of the decendants of John Horrocks b.1826 (Bolton Lancs) d.1888 (Eton Vale, Darling Downs) and Barbara Graham b.c1831 (Cumberland) d.1911 (Toowoomba). They were my great-grandparents. One small branch eludes me. I am now looking for descendants of John Joseph HORROCKS and Ruby Kathleen Macnamara John Joseph Horrocks was born 1901, a grandson of abovenamed John and Barbara. JJH died 1965 in Toowoomba. He is understood to have worked for Queensland Railways (in Toowoomba, in close proximity to a cousin, John Henry Horrocks) Ruby Kathleen Macnamara's details are not known. They married 23 Jan 1923 in Stanthorpe. I understand that they had at least four children: Neil Horrocks Brian Horrocks John Horrocks; and Jean Horrocks A fifth child, Justin Horrocks died 1931, aged 1. .. born in the range of dates say 1923 - 1935. Family notes suggest that Brian may have become a policeman in Qld. Anything leading me to these people or their descendants (or knowledge of them) would be much appreciated.

Hello All, I am looking for descendants of the Filmers from Kent, in particular any descendants of the following: John (1625-1679), Thomas (1660-1721), John (1780-1858) William (1814-1907) John (1839-1933) and Sydney (1868-?). Although these are the dates I have on a printed family tree handed down through the family, I think Thomas`s death date is not accurate, as it would have made John born almost 50 years after his father (Thomas`s death). However, it is the descendants of the above (Sydney?) who apparently settled in East Toowoomba I am interested in at present.

Hi all, Old Newsaper Extracts from The Queenslander [ news Budget } 15 Dec 1917 [page 15] I probably shouldn't be doing this as the page of this paper is so old and brittle with most of the contents missing. But as with all things old I think I can extract enough info so that it maybe of help to others. At least those seeking information on a name can access the paper through the Qld State Archives. I must STRESS though that I have no further info other than what is being posted here. The names below have been involved in World War 1 and appears to be a List of those injured and/or killed. For further information perhaps the Commonwealth War Graves would be a great place to confirm what I have written. http://www.cwgc.org/cwgcinternet/search.aspx or http://www.awm.gov.au/database/roh.asp I have looked at both sites and was able to find that Horace HULL [ 2nd site listed ] died of wounds. The rest of the names must be a List of injured. Perhaps someone will have more success than me. My main reason for taking the time to type this up is that there are men from other Countries involved and printed. So this alone may help some of our international readers to place a certain person who may have disappeared. Far.-Sgt.

South Burnett Times, Tuesday, September 16, 2003 Obituary Kumbia has lost another member of a pioneering family of the district with the death of Errol Clifford TRUSS on August 28. He was born at Clydebank Hospital, Kingaroy on December 20, 1922, the third child of Frederick and Emilie TRUSS (nee NOLLER). He grew up on the family farm at Kumbia and attended the Kumbia State School where he was one of the few pupils who passed the State Scholarship examination up to that time. He often rode to school on horseback with his older brother, Leon and sister Claudie - three on one horse. After a short time at Kingaroy State High School, he left school and began farming with his father and Leon. Life on the farm was hard work with everything being done by horses or by hand. Dairying and pigs were the main activity but they also grew crops, particularly corn. Errol was an innovative and progressive farmer, always looking for ways to make farm work easier. He was one of the first in the district to buy a tractor, a Model A McCormick Deering, an 8ft Sunshine Header and later a 2 row mounted corn picker with trailing sheller. He later imported an Oliver auto-header with a whole stick corn front and built one of the first bulk grain handling and drying facilities in the district. He was always ready to talk to anybody who would listen about pulling corn by hand and 'the good old days'. In 1942, he began growing navy beans to supply the American troops in Australia with baked beans, an association with the bean industry he maintained throughout his life. On October 30, 1946, Errol married Irma TEMME at St Paul's Lutheran Church, Kingaroy. They built a new house across the road from the home property that had been purchased by Fred in 1927. Errol and Irma lived in that same house on the same property for almost all of their 57 years of married life. They raised a family of three sons, Warren, now the Federal Minister for Agriculture; Gary, who manages the family farms and Rowan, an associate professor at the University of Queensland. Errol was always deeply involved in his church affairs. He always attended Sunday services and was one of the volunteers who helped build Kumbia's new Lutheran Church in 1959. He was an elder and lay reader for more than 40 years, a Sunday school teacher and chairman of the Kingaroy Lutheran parish for many years. He held a special interest in the Queensland District Home Mission Committee of the Church where he served for 16 years putting a special effort into the building of new Lutheran Churches at Mt Isa, Cairns, in Central Queensland and in the Brisbane suburbs. His love of farming meant he was actively involved in farm organisations. He was chairman of the Kumbia branch and the Burnett District Council of the Queensland Graingrowers' Association for many years and served as a State councillor. He was one of the instigators of the first exports of Queensland maize to Japan. In 1964, as a member of the Navy Bean Marketing Board and Bean Growers Co-operative, he was involved in the transfer of the industry headquarters form Brisbane to Kingaroy. He was chairman of the Queensland Producers Federation and chairman of the Queensland Government Agricultural Working Committee on future agricultural policies. In 1977, Errol was awarded the Queen's Silver Jubilee Medal and in 1986, the Medal of the Order of Australia in her Majesty's Australia Day honours, for his services to Agriculture. He was always involved in his local community, serving on the Kumbia Hall Committee for more than 25 years, the Kingaroy Show Society, a foundation member to the Kumbia Rural Youth Club and as a Kingaroy Shire Councillor for three years. Errol was always known for his cheerful personality, his wise and sound counsel, his generous nature and without a doubt, his hearty laugh which brightened many a moment especially when a tough situation seemed insurmountable. He enjoyed lawn bowls for many years and particularly enjoyed singing in choirs, especially as the bass voice in the male quartet. The family is thankful that Irma was able to care for Errol in the home that he knew, on the farm that he loved, almost to the end. He passed away at the South Burnett Community Hospital at the age of 80 years and eight months. He will be sadly missed by his wife Irma; Warren and Lyn; Gary and Janice and their sons Russell and Stephen; Rowan and Lynda and their children Katie, Peter and David; sister Claudie FREHMANN and Bill; sister Audrey WINTER and their families and by all who knew and loved him. His brother Leon, who passed away two years ago, held a special place in Errol's life because of his handicaps. His youngest sister, Fay, passed away in 1938 aged four. ________________________________________________ Message sent using Dodo Internet Webmail Server

Dear List, Could anyone help me find information about my great grandmother I believe she may have been mentioned in the Toowoomba Chronicle about 1875 till 1883 (when she married William Townson) I have been told that she won prizes as a champion whip cracker. This could have been in Toowoomba, or Whetstone/Inglewood (where she was born) Does the Tmba Chronicle have index to some of the early papers?. I am willing to exchange research for family history in Tasmania to anyone willing to do a search for Elizabeth Jane Shepherd.
