Hi I was wondering if anyone has the Advertiser for the last week of December still. I'm looking for the death of James Vincent Quinn, he was buried on the 5th January, and there is a death notice in the 1st January, but not from the family and I would like the families notice - if possible. Thanks very much Tracey

Hello.. I know this may be asking a lot from my list friends but would anyone have a copy of the passenger list of a ship called HUDSON BAY. I believe it came to australia at the turn of the century time I am trying to locate a passenger and her fellow travellers the surname is O'Brien first name is thought to be gertrude supposedly travelling with two aunts. I do not know exact dates or if they came from Ireland directly or went to England first. Any advice or help would be appreciated regards Kathryn

Anne Would love to have a copy. The May Family was in that area during the latter half of the 1800's. Are you connected to the Barker family of Mt Barker?

HI Ann, this is where Bairds Bay must have got its name?? I have a friend in Port Kenny who may know of some contacts, but I think if you contact the lady who is President of the Streaky Bay National Trust - her name is Rae, that might be a good starting point, they have a huge amount of family history records also. I just dont have the phone number here at the moment, but if you cant find it in the phone book the NT in Adelaide should be able to help you out. Perhaps if you contact them some of the 'old timers' there might be your best bet, I did some work for them a couple of years back but cant now recall that name in what I did.

I have an old photo of a wedding taken in this area, it is typical of the old travelling Photographers of that era. A tent type background with a centre scene and on the grass. There are two people I recognise Adam and Susan Baird of Okiltabie, my GGGrandparents. Susan died in 1896. I don't believe the bride is one of their 4 daughters. It is a group picture, mainly younger people and a young girl in the front. If there is anyone with family in this area who would like to have a look at it, please contact me off list and I will send the photo as an attachment. Thank you Anne Menadue

Hello List, I am trying to help a friend and hope someone here may be able to help me. It is known THOMAS SAXON, Warehouseman, born abt. 1838 Manchester, married in 1867 Emerald Victoria. He states he was formerly from Adelaide. I am wondering if there may be any record of him arriving in Adelaide from the UK or Melbourne after 1851 and before 1867. I did find an entry of a person of same age and description arriving in Melbourne in January 1861 on the Blue Jacket from Liverpool, but I am wondering why he would say he was of Adelaide on his Marriage Cert. Any help would be very much appreciated..... Cheers, Robyn

Dear List, It is a long time since I have had a request and I hope some kind person will be able to help. I am searching for a friend the family of Alfred Charles WOODSFORD prior to 1912. I do not have a marriage for him but know that he married Martha Reid WILSON some time prior to 1912 when the first of 7 children recorded Alfred Charles Woodsford was born at Rosewater Pt Adelaide. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks and keep cool, Bev Rowe

Dear List Still trying to find these Palm from from St Andreasberg. I'm wondering if the Lutheran birth, marriage and death records would have been included on the SAGHS database, and also on Civil registration? Regards, Rowena

Many thanks for the replies on this. There was no luck on the query, so either there is a gross spelling error, or more likely, they have moved on. I've checked the Victorian, NSW and WA records, without any luck. This query is now complete. Many thanks, Rowena

Or perhaps this is relevant. Andrews Farm A 1991 subdivision in the Munno Para Council area bounded by Stebonheath Road (named after the ship which brought the Andrews family to SA in 1849) and Andrews Road (named after Mr Gordon Andrews, a former councillor). An obituary of W. Andrews, an early settler, is in the *Observer,* 26 May 1928, page 49c: Mr. W. Andrews died at his residence at Smithfield in May 1928. He had lived in the district for 70 years and was one of its most respected residents. In 1849, aged five, he arrived in South Australia with his parents who travelled by bullock dray to Burra where the family lived in a dugout on the side of a creek. Later, he went to Smithfield which in those days was covered with dense scrub; there were no houses and instead of fences the boundaries were marked with a few pegs. He attended a little Bible Christian Church on the Gawler Blocks called Salem and later, he took up church work at Smithfield, where he was superintendent of the Sunday school for 44 years. On 24 November 1875 he was married to Miss Hillier and at the time of his death nine children of the marriage survived.

Hi again! >From the web site: http://www.nacouncil.sa.gov.au/site/page.cfm?u=197 In 1874, a second surveyor - Thomas Evans - laid out the township and surrounding parklands, and the township of Tarcowie was proclaimed in the Government Gazette on 20th May 1875. At that time, most towns were surveyed to a similar plan, bounded by four terraces and crossed by High and Cross Streets, with a grid of secondary streets numbered First, Second, and so on. Unusually, Tarcowie was plotted on the diagonal rather than due north and south, and thus instead of North, South, East and West Terrace, the terraces are named - Andrews, Maurice, Wells and Clark Terrace. Maurice Terrace is obviously named after Price Maurice, but despite contact with the Department of Lands, it is not known who gave their name to the other three terraces. There is a place called Andrews between Spalding & Clare which may have been named after the same person. On the State Library Website under Place Names you will find: Andrews, Hundred of Nomenclature Richard B. Andrews, MP. General Notes A controversy over the declaration of the Hundred is in the *Register*, 9 December 1864, page 2e. A school of this name opened in 1873 and closed in 1875. Cheers Chris.

Hi Tracey! If the town was established in the 1870's the local council or the local historical society will have some knowledge of the how & why of the street naming. When my town was established as a soldier settlement after the 1st WW they named all the streets alphabetically using names of rivers for the avenues and plants for the streets. Other towns often used prominent citizens or significant people as you suggested. The numeric naming was based on the American style. More recently its usually the prerogative of the sub-divider in conjunction with the local council what names are given to streets. I do know that one local road is called Queen's Road as it was made especially for the visit of the Queen in the 1950's. Happy researching! Chris.

Hi, Question about the names of streets in a town. Does anyone know how they do them? Example - Tarcowie - apart from first, second and third street there is Andrews Street, Clark Terrace, Maurice Terrace, Wells Terrace, High and Cross St. Maurice Terrace I assume is named after Price Maurice a significant person in the area back when they planned the town in 1873. Wells Terrace, I thought it could be after explorer and surveyor Lawrance Allen Wells, even though he wasn't really in the area. High and Cross St - I think they are self explanatory But its Clark and Andrews terrace I can't find where it might have come from. Is there anywhere that I can look Regards Tracey
