Hi helpful listers, I am researching the above families and have found almost 150 individuals. Am happy to share my data with interested parties and would be pleased if any one can assist in finding the arrival date Michael O’Shaughnessy* his wife Johanna Bingham and their children. Death certificates indicate they arrived in Victoria in 1853. Shipping records reveal nothing. They were from County Clare and his parents were Thomas O’Shaughnessy* and Mary Canny. Johanna was also from County Clare and her parents were John Bingham and Johanna Mannion. Marie Tunks Sydney

Hi Trevor I Googled the name of the publication you have and one entry came up which mentions it has been revised quite recently (1975): Credits and Links Clunes - A Guide to the Visitor. Booklet compiled for the Shire of Talbot and Clunes. Revised by the Clunes Tourist and Development Association, 1975. ... freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/.../credits-links.htm - Cached - Similar and I went to the site which said: Weickhardt, F. Conrad (1970). Clunes - A Guide to the Visitor. Booklet compiled for the Shire of Talbot and Clunes. Revised by the Clunes Tourist and Development Association, 1975. Hope this helps you ......................... Carole

Be careful about typing out the book and republishing it online as it is still in copyright. (Copyright generally remains with the author until 70 years after the authors death). Copies of Weickhardt's book, and many others on Clunes, can be purchased from the Clunes Museum - which is also a great museum to visit.

Hello . Is there any one related to the Richard Allen family who lived in the Charlton areas. Richard died 1929 in Charlton, his wife was Elizabeth Vinnecombe or Vinecombe. Helping a friend track some of the family. thanks carole

Thanks for your informative response, Tom, I have actually visited the Clunes Museum but it was at a very inconvenient time and when I was in a rush. I will be back there asap and will include Talbot too. I am really annoyed that when you and I both worked in Maryborough 40+ years ago, that I did not realise at the time that many of the family I am interested in were alive in Clunes at the time. Cousins of my wife's grandfather, in fact. However, I have turned to material that I filed during those days to knock it into shape and am making discoveries all over again. Re the typescript and photocopy I mentioned in my previous post, I found that when I was returning the items to the envelope in which they came, a very thin piece of paper fell out. It was a hand-written note from the Shire Secretary of the Shire of Talbot and Clunes which indicates where the documents came from, if not the provenance. Interesting comments you make re Wikipedia and GLAMS. Reminds me of the days when a similar kind of relationship existed between genealogists and their societies and institutions such as the SLV and RHSV. Times are changing! And attitudes too. Sorry I will not be able to get to Clunes for the May Book Fair. I will be travelling between Rome. Florence, Palermo and the Aeolian Islands. I am sure the Book Fair would be more interesting!!! Regards Trevor

Hi Trevor (and List) In looking for information related to your document, have you tried the Clunes William Barkell Memorial Arts & Historic Centre Inc. which operates as the Historical Society for the Clunes area. http://www.ballarat.com/clunes/clunesmuseum.htm They seem a pretty organised bunch. I am always impressed when I go there. And if you can hang on until May to make a visit, the Book Fair http://www.booktown.clunes.org/ is wonderful, though it's so busy you mightn't get much sense from the Museum on that day! Seeing you've included Talbot in your title, http://www.ballarat.com/talbot/talbot_museum.htm might also be able to help. On a vaguely related matter, I notice that that the Federation of Australian Historical Societies e-Bulletin No. 79 - 27 February 2011 includes the following "big picture" article about the role of Wikipedia - which in some ways is the roneod material of the future (without the rusted staples). "Connections between history and Wikipedia As *Wikipedia* became a mainstream source of information, the editing community of Wikipedia and the information professionals in the cultural sector [galleries, libraries, archives and museums - GLAMs] have come to an uneasy truce and acceptance of it and developed a partnership. Liam Wyatt wrote his history thesis on "The academic lineage of Wikipedia: connections and disconnections in the theory and practice of history<http://www.wittylama.com/thesis/>" for which he was awarded the University of New South Wales University Medalfor History. In it he argued that the knowledge sector had more in common with *Wikipedia's* originating principles and current practices than either admitted and there would be great benefit if the two communities could be brought together. Seeking to implement his theory Liam requested of GLAMs nationally and internationally the chance to volunteer as *Wikipedian in Residence*. All Australian institutions demurred but the British Museum agreed. The resulting residency project <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/BM> produced good quality collaboration (with better content on *Wikipedia* and increased visibility for the British Museum) and spurred a global movement of GLAMs requesting to bring *Wikipedia* in-house. Liam has now been appointed by the Wikimedia Foundation as Cultural Partnerships Fellow<http://blog.wikimedia.org/blog/2011/01/19/announcing-our-glam-fellow-liam-wyatt/> to help build strong relationships with the GLAM sector globally. Liam Wyatt gave an Innovative Ideas talk on the topic at National Library on 11 February 2011. (Source: aliaaglin@lists.alia.org.au – 7 February 2011)" Regards to all, Tom

Hi Maree, As to your first question, I have no plans to reproduce the material I have mentioned. I would need to be satisfied first about copyright issues before I scanned and posted it. Re your second question, there are two Leans mentioned on the photocopied hand-written list The first is R. Lean who served 31 1/4 continuous years on council. and who was Mayor for 5 years. His period of service is recorded as 1910-41. Another entry is for A. Lean who served on council for 5 1/4 years between 1936 - 1941, and was mayor on one occasion. In a column for comments it is noted that he resigned in Dec. 1941. I hope this helps, but recommend you have a look at the link posted by Carolyn.

That is a very usueful resoource, thank you, Carolyn, Parts of the site seem to have depended on the document I have referred to in my original post. There are similarities of wording and chronological arrangement in some places.

Some years ago I was given a roneoed (the older members of this list will remember what "roneoed" is!!!) copy of a potted history of Clunes & Talbot. It is a typescript on foolscap and is entitled, "CLUNES. A GUIDE TO THE VISITOR (This booklet is compiled by Mr.F. C. Weickhardt and issued by the Shire of Talbot and Clunes). Revised by the Clunes Tourist and Development Association. 1975" It contains descriptions of the beauty attractions, history, modern facilities, etc of Clunes.. A second section contains "WHAT TO LOOK FOR, AND WHERE TO FIND IT (with a maps). and lists descriptions of such things as the Site of the First Settler's Home, First Gold Discoveries,.Mining Sites. The old business centre, Churches, the hospital, railway station, site of the first Chinese Riot, and a lot more. This section ends with the acknowledgement, "Compiled by F. Conrad Weickhardt for the Shire of Talbot & Clunes, 19th October, 1970. Revised 1975. A one page attachment is stapled to the foregoing, entitled, "SHIRE OF TALBOT AND CLUNES. TALBOT TOWNSHIP." It is far less organsed in its writing and gives a brief historical chronology from 1838 to the last date mentioned, 1875. Along with the foregoing is a photocopied copy of a hand-written 3 page foolscap-sized listing of Clunes Borough Council 186- 1865, giving the names of Councillors with more than 3 years service. Mayors are noted too, with period of service.). I have had this material since 1978, but am now just getting arouind to dealing with the information. It leads me to wonder if these notes were ever intended to be produced as a fuller, larger work. If so, I would be interested to know if anyone knows if a larger work was ever produced from this typescript? For that matter, I would like to hear if any history of Clunes/Talbot has been produced?

Good Morning Thankyou to all those who assisted my search for my Publican ancestor. He had a license. At this stage just not the one I was looking for. Lyn Schryver Western Australia

Good Morning Can someone tell me how I can find the name of the Licensee of the "Shootem Flying Inn" located at Eastville circa 1888. Thankyou Lyn Schryver Western Australia

I'm not sure if my previous message of thanks got through, so I wanted to send it again. A very big thankyou to all the lovely listers who so kindly took the time to repond to my TREWHELLA query. Those list members being Trish, Mary, Pam, Lyn, Julie, Chris, Margaret, Bev, Robyn, Dawn and Gaylene, I hope I haven't forgotten anyone. All information has helped me greatly to move on further with this family. Margaret the Database of names you so kindly sent, is that from the Trentham Cemetery database?? Also I don't see a Jonathon (Bill) Trewella listed so I assume he is buried elsewhere. Again many thanks to ALL...... Judi WA

Here's one of them marrying. Can't find the other two but the index I have cuts out at 1942. I have not checked on line to see if it goes later than that there - it should. TREWHELLA Dorothy Millicent married KENNER Bernard Walter 1938 #15894 Can't find a death for any of them - but they stop 1985 on my discs, so.. A look on line might be a good idea. Of course, they could have died with details unknown re parents.
