Hi Lynn Thanks for your reply. Jessie McDOUGALL married John DAVEY 23 Feb 1871 in Melbourne she was 21 years old and born in Adelaide, her parents were Peter McDougall, Veterinary Surgeon, and Margaret LAMONT On the births of all her children (15) she gives her name as Jessie Lamont McDougall, it seems they went to Tasmania for 10 years during her marriage where 5 of the children were born, then returned to Victoria, that was why I was interested in the Tasmanian Peter McDougall but I can't find a death for him over there. Very frustrating Lynne -------Original Message------- Subject: Re: [AUS-SAGEN] Peter McDougall Peter McDougall on the Buckinghamshire was a blacksmith, with wife and dau aged 3 address on application Kinloch, Moran Scotland. He applied for free passage. Peter McDougall on Eliza a doctor. Details in SA newspaper. Did Jessie marry Thomas Gray? Cheers Lynn

Hi, Has anyone heard of the Golliwog Club? My grandparents were apparently members in the early part of the twentieth century in South Australia. My father has always thought it was some sort of theatrical club. I have found references to a Golliwog Club in Victoria but this was for the making of golliwogs to raise money during the war. Does anyone know anything about the Golliwog Club in SA? Cheers Josie

Hi, Can anyone tell me if the Americans had a rest and recreation camp at the Kooyonga Golf course during WW2? Any information on the Americans in SA during that time would be of interest. Thanks in advance Josie

Good afternoon, Thanks so such for the responses for Henry / Frances Gibbons. My cousin in Kyabram , whose ancestors they are, will be very happy. It never ceases to amaze me the different ways of spelling a surname, as with Frances Gibbons maiden name. Best wishes, Pam Studd

Good morning, Following on from successful finding of Eliza Ann Gibbons B 1866 Stirling SA. Parents Henry Gibbons & Frances Denehey, or Donohue, or Donohoe, or at least 5 other spellings. Henry was an orchardist. Would it be possible for someone to look up to see if they were married in SA - as Eliza seems to be the firstborn, chances are either way. Couldn't find anything on the UK FreeBMD site - could be Irish. Thanks in advance Pam Studd

Hi Maree, Thought you may be interested in this:- BTW do you have the SA BDM data for those people you mention, Samuel William etc? regards Freda ++++ >From Mannings SA place names: Stockwell - An 1856 subdivision of section 208, Hundred of Moorooroo, by Samuel Stockwell, 8 km north-east of Nuriootpa. Apparently, he fell upon hard times for a newspaper report said that, by order of court appointed trustees, his business, mortgaged to the extent of £100, together with other goods and chattels, were to be sold by public auction. He died at Prospect in 1863, aged 78. The site of this new township is generally admired as the most suitable and pleasant ever selected. On the foot of a well timbered range. [it] offers a splendid view over the Light and Para Plains covered with farms on a frequented road to the Duck Ponds, Truro and Moorundee [sic]. This township by its natural position alone is sure to surpass any of the old townships surrounding it within a distance of four to five miles. Its school opened in 1867 and closed in 1971. In 1901, the residents witnessed a novel sight when: All the country and hills, as far as the eye could see, were covered with snow to a depth of several inches in the shallowest parts. The leaves of trees, roof, fences and other objects out of doors were all snow-clad. Everyone was excited, and although it was the Sabbath many indulged in snowballing. (See Hansborough) ++++ Hansborough - The town, 11 km south-west of Eudunda, surveyed in July 1865, was resumed on 13 August 1936. Its school opened in 1882 and closed in 1943. The name remembers Frederick Hansborough Dutton (1812-1890), founder of 'Anlaby', near Kapunda. A pious citizen proclaimed to the world his thoughts on the village whose 'greatest requirement. was a place of worship. It would. prevent the Sabbath breaking, which is now so prevalent.' In the fledgling colony of South Australia many spokesmen for several religious denominations demanded that the Sabbath day be observed in the time-honoured manner of Great Britain. Boots and shoes had to be cleaned the day before and as little cooking as possible was to be done on the day - in some homes the potatoes were peeled and the peas shelled on the Saturday. After attending church in the morning, Sunday school in the afternoon and church again in the evening, the family gathered around the piano and sang hymns with much fervour, before bedding down no later than 10 p.m. Sunday was, assuredly, a day of prayer and rest! This dogmatic stance stemmed from the two most potent religious movements of the nineteenth century, namely those who adhered to the faith of the Methodist and Presbyterian churches, whose followers shared a common piety, a strict church discipline and a total way of life that avoided 'frivolous entertainments and all worldly pleasures.' Their creed included the stipulation that the Sabbath day was to be one devoted to worship and meditation and that any act, such as engaging in sporting activity, hiking or visiting public institutions, which included libraries, art galleries, museums, etc., was sinful and a direct challenge to the traditions and sacredness of the day. An old Scottish ditty mirrored the unwritten law of the land: Nae birdie maun whistle, Nae lambie may play, An' Phoebus [the sun] himself Could nay travel that day. ++++ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Minxy Halcione" <halcioneminx@yahoo.com> To: <AUS-SAGEN@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, November 06, 2010 6:31 PM Subject: [AUS-SAGEN] STOCKWELL Hello all I am tracing my family tree back from NZ through Australia and hopefully back to the UK but have come unstuck.

Wondering if SKS could help me please. I have a marriage certificate from Victoria stating that Jessie McDOUGALL was born in Adelaide either 1849/50. Her father was Peter McDougall, Veterinary Surgeon, mother Margaret LAMONT. Cannot find birth on SA Index. Having checked shipping records index, I see that Peter & Margaret arrived in SA on the "Buckinghamshire" 21/3/1839, then again arriving on the "Eliza" (1) on 14/5/1840 and then another one for Dr Peter McDougall arriving from Hobart on the "Palmya". I am sure I can't see the "forest for the trees" but can someone please point me in the right direction. Thank you Lynne

Lynne What are the ages for Jessie on the marriage cert and how does that tie in with the arrivals. Was she born in Tas or aboard on way from Tas?
