Hello Nola, I would venture that your GUY family starts in Australia with Edward Remington GUY 1836-1910. That is not my direct line, so I'm afraid I'm unlikely to have anything new for you, but it is interesting to meet another researcher interested in some part of the same family! I descend from Edward's brother George Atack GUY 1829-1899. A few years ago I joined various Rootsweb lists and many helpful people found me lots of information from the various Victoria BMDs. But I never turned up a living descendant of George. Are you in contact with anyone in that part of the family at all? I just had a thought, if you are descended from Edward, we must be cousins of some sort!! Greetings from your (possible) cousin in Canada.

Hi Circus, Is there anyone out there who was lucky enough to enjoy the Saturday night out with the Bastards from the Bush last time we went to Beechworth and who, (like muggins here), might have bought the CD? I can still smell the horses by the way..... If so, could you please contact me off list? Thanks, Wendy

Hi Everyone, I thought I'd list a three of my impossible to find family in a bit more detail - in the off-chance that someone just might have an idea. MILNE - John, born Bungonia (or thereabouts) NSW in 1838. Presumably died before 1875. Father Robert, Mother Jessie. Where did he die and when? I think he was probably still alive at the start of the Beechworth golf rush. MILNE - David James, born Myrtleford 1881 and died 'somewhere' before 1932, married Florence ida SPEAR in 1903 and had 5 children, at least 4 of whom were born in Myrtleford. I suspect the family moved to NSW but there is no sign of David's death anywhere. His parents were Abraham and Elizabeth - his mother died in 1932 and he was then deceased according to the Obit notice. Where and when did he die? O'BRIEN - John, born 1854 at Bowmans Forest to parents John and Jane. Married Maria NOLAN (daughter of Hopton and born 1857 at Stanley) in 1885. A daughter Jane Fenella O'BRIEN was born Wangaratta in 1889 and died in Armadale in 1968. What happened tp John and Maria? Regards, Wendy

Hi John and Lyn, You don't give any dates, but I'm hoping your William JARVIS could be my mystery man! The William in my family was born about 1853 to Sarah JARVIS, MILLER, or GUY, probably in Melbourne or in Gippsland but maybe the Sale, Dargo, Crooked River area where part of the GUY family lived. A key problem is that I don't know what name Sarah was using when William was born, and I haven't been able to turn up a birth under any of the names. What do you know about your William Jarvis? Any chance he could be my mystery man?

Hi Kathryn Not sure if I have contacted you before about these names. Frank Ellen, who married Hilda Elmer was my grandmother's brother, and William Ellen who married Violet Jones would have been Frank Ellen's uncle.

Hi Mary and Dianne. It is fantastic to be home., After many overseas trips, I have to admit, this time I am delighted to be back in OZ for many reasons which I won't go into (g). Wedding #1 was in New York two weeks ago today. You may have all have heard how wet it was in the northeast of USA. It was! WET and cold and windy. The wedding which was to be in Shakespeare's Garden, Central Park amongst the autumn leaves ended up being held in a nearby castle in the park, but thankfully we were there at least, dry. The reception venue turned out to be unable to cater for the 20 of us - it seems that was not the case from Australia; only when we arrived. The leaves were green and WET, not autumn colours. The limo which was booked for 4 pm to carry myself, Neil, our daughter, the bridesmaid and the bride, did not turn up. It apparently shot past our hotel and got stuck in the traffic but even after assurances that we were to be picked up in 10 minutes, it didn't arrive at all. We had to find two taxis at 4.45 pm on a Friday in New York city for a 5 pm wedding at the other end of the city. HA! that's a joke. Finally flagged down one for the bride and bridesmaid, sent them on their way with a request not to marry my son without my being there! In the panic I forgot to give the bride her large umbrella! The remaining 3 of us had to find another taxi, which took another half an hour. The driver sensed the urgency of our situation and zapped thru and around New York at great speed. We were dropped on the edge of Central Park in the rain, the driver didn't know where S. gardens were! We only knew the approximate vicinity - had no need to know for the bride was supposed to be with us. A local, a lovely lady who loves Australians and Australia happened to be strolling in the rain, as one does in New York, with a dog and took great delight in leading us with great speed to the castle, all the time telling us about her travels down under. About 15 minutes later we arrived (this is a case of the parents, not the bride, being late) and the wedding went ahead, a Naval Chaplin marrying them. We all then wandered with our large umbrellas thru Central Park to the Boat Shed which kindly had found 20 seats for us the day before, after being let down by that other restaurant. The bride looked beautiful. The groom (and here I am biased) looked so wonderful in his Tux. A week later wedding #2 went off without a hitch in Las Vegas. The limo turned up on time, Elvis managed to 'marry' them, sing his 3 songs, have videos taken with himself in all of them! But it was great fun, laughs and singing all the way thru the ceremony. It appears a celebrant had married the couple legit, in another room before Elvis did his 'version'. We then had lunch at Bellargio on the Strip. The bridal group and guests dressed in their Hawaiian outfits. (ug) However, I saw stranger sights in Las Vegas than a bunch of Aussies in bright shirts. So the twice married bride and groom are now roaming around Utah, Nevada, Arizona, Texas etc on their hired Harleys. Phone calls let me know how much they are enjoying the superb scenery. Our stay in Washington DC between the two weddings was a fantastic time, we were ruined totally by family who live there (thank you genealogy research!). They took the bride, groom, two sets of parents, our daughter and her husband out to dinner at the Navy & Army club, had arranged a wedding cake and gifts for us during dinner, and like all good establishments, ports and cigars in the library after dinner. (girls - the women were allowed to join the ports and cigars session, but we did not partake of cigars, thank you). So the bride and groom have had a fantastic series of events for their marriage/s, topped by a couple of bucks nights - one at the Stratosphere in Las Vegas and another watching an ice hockey match at Madison Sq Gardens in New York followed by dinner. Girls' nights out included shows. The Grand Canyon is awesome. Washington DC is a fantastic city, so attractive, clean and interesting. Las Vegas is loud and bright. New York busy and crowded. Sadly because of the howling wind and rain we did not see much of this city. Father and mother are glad it's over, we have seen a lot, travelled many states and miles, walked so far and long, but are glad to be home. I do believe that Hiram Crawford, who late in his life during the depression years of the 1890s/early 1900s, wrote that there was no place like his old home town in USA, and how he believed Australia was being ruined by this and that, would today should he be alive, be proud he became Australian.

OMA Saturday November 29th 1913 DEATH OF AN OLD COLONIST - Mary Paull The ranks of the sturdy old pioneers of this district were further depleted on Wednesday by the death of Mrs Mary Paull at the Ovens District Hospital. The deceased lady was well known and highly respected by all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance. She was of a kindly disposition and was always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. The late Mrs Paull who was about 69 years of age, was a native of Cornwall England, and came to Australia with her parents when quite an infant. The family landed at Adelaide, and after some years spent at mining in that state, the father came to the Ovens goldfield, settling in the Yackandandah district. Whilst here his daughter married Mr James Paull, miner, of Hillsborough, who died some years ago, Mrs Paull ultimately coming to Beechworth with her family, where she has resided ever since. The deceased lady was of a strong constitution, and although she had short periods of illness, she always pulled through rapidly. The w! as admitted to the hospital on Sunday and despite every care and attention died on Wednesday as stated. She leaves a family of four daughters and two sons, all of whom are married. Tow daughters are in New Zealand and Mrs S. Martin, Mrs S. Rosier, Messrs. James and Francis Paull reside in Beechworth. The remains of the deceased lady were interred in the Beechworth cemetery on Thursday, Mr G. H. Farley carrying out the mortuary arrangements.
