OMA 26.6.1861 TEMPLE BAR HOTEL (Late Union) Ford Street will be opened On the 1st of July by John Williams.

Mary Would you have a John Hunt, as I have a memorial of a transaction of land between John Hunt and Michael Culhane. Michael owned ninety seven acres in Murmungee (allotment 7 sec 7) on one side of the property runs the Burgogie Creek. On the 24th of May 1866 he sold it to John Hunt for one hundred and twenty pounds, and then settled near Chiltern. If you have anything on this John Hunt, I would be delighted to know more about him.

Don't worry Mary - I scanned back over the papers - nothing there for a license - but they come in dribs so will keep an eye out. d ----- Original Message ----- From: "MM" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, September 30, 2005 10:22 AM Subject: Re: [HC] OMA > Hello Denise, > Looking forward to the elections as that's when my Henry FOSTER may show > up. > When you have a chance can you see if William Henry FOSTER was in the > licensee list. > He would have either been in the Prince of Wales Hotel or The Temple Bar. > Love the stuff about the HUNT line - have these in my tree. > My father remembers Uncle Ned (Edward HUNT 1875-1970) they were very well > off and gave him a pony when he was a child. > Had Cenovis Yeast business. > Mary of Melbourne > > > > >> Irene hi >> I didn't see the results printed, but I'll scan back over it later for >> you to see if I missed.

Mary - happy to look up your license request but what was the date of the paper I quoted. I've looked in the archives and can't find the post.

Hello Denise, Looking forward to the elections as that's when my Henry FOSTER may show up. When you have a chance can you see if William Henry FOSTER was in the licensee list.

> 1858. William Wells arrives back in Beechworth runs the British Hotel, > hotel is closed, and broken up, wife left with anxiety ? not sure of date What do you mean not sure of date? Didn't I give the date for the OMA on this report? If you can work out the approximately timeframe from the archives (my postings of 1858) I'll go back and check. Believe me, there are many many articles in the papers over that time about Willie's past and the poor treatment of him in 1858. You'll just have to read them when you are ready. I didn't, the Wells confuse me (g). I know how Rosemarie feels. > 1861 William auctions HUNT'S BRITISH HOTEL (maybe it wasn't his just need > some cash ;-) 22.5.1861 Wm Wells Hunts' British Hotel Bowman's Forest - license granted. So Willie rebuilt the broken up hotel by 1861 and put on the market but obviously didn't sell. What happened to wife's anxiety. Given the fact that renewal of license was essential to running or even selling the hotel, Willie would have had to renew a month after putting up for auction. The applications for renewal had to be in some time before granted - otherwise nope, no grant.

I've heard this story several times from Jack who confused the daylights out of the policeman when caught for speeding in the Buckland Gap area. He told him the story of granny going over the gap. Policeman thought it had just happened and probably Jack's excuse for speeding. The events were 100 years apart in fact. I can see the headlines "GRANDMA FLIES OVER THE GAP, GRANDSON IN PANIC. POLICE SEARCH & RESCUE" Frederick must have had a brother William Wells whose daughter Daisy Aunt Daisy PM- know of her well! She's been with us often around the dinner table in Maleny. Jack's a character and tells the stories well. >When I have a chance to research this mob it may make good reading if Willy >is related! All I can say is you had better include a mud map in the book!

Hope you had a wonderful time and all the best to the happy couple. Carrying on the family history research,maybe? - sounds promising from the "something old" s they carried..

Here goes Denise 1858. William Wells arrives back in Beechworth runs the British Hotel, hotel is closed, and broken up, wife left with anxiety ? not sure of date 1861 William auctions HUNT'S BRITISH HOTEL (maybe it wasn't his just need some cash ;-) 1864 Applying for licences William Wells Bowman's Forest and Tom Mocket of Ellen 3 Mile 1864 - now Ellen's British Hotel 3 Mile, they still had it 1876 18.1.83 At the B.worth court house the postponed application of Thomas Ellen for renewal of his license for the British pub at 3 Mile was considered. Ellen and Mr. Robert Bolam entered into recognizance for £50 that the new house now in course of erection would be ready for occupation as an hotel in 6 weeks. Both the renewal and the transfer of the license to the new premises were granted. One of the many Wells connections. Now Maurice Ellen who worked with C & C was brother to the one who owned the British hotel. Maurice's daughter, Fanny born Beechworth 1859 married at Seaton 1881 to Frederick Wells, she was killed when her buggy went over the Buckland Gap. Frederick must have had a brother William Wells whose daughter Daisy looked his children Frederick Ede Wells (Jack's father) and Herbert when Fanny was killed, she was a postmistress at Gapstead most her life. If this William is the same "poor old Willy the convict' who sold Hunt's hotel while they were sleeping I don't know? So between 1861 and 1864 Willy either couldn't sell the place, or so still broken hearted and turned to drink, or ended in jail because of the Hunt's who knows :-) When I have a chance to research this mob it may make good reading if Willy is related! ----- Original Message ----- From: Denise To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2005 10:32 PM Subject: Re: [HC] Hunt's British Hotel Yes I remember that and recalled it last night when I saw the sale notice - so much in the papers over a few editions on the treatment of poor ol Willie.
