Hi Pamela My guru historian son has just told me that there is no other Robert Wards buried at Buckland. Could this perhaps 1918 be a misprint? & should in fact read 1910??

Thank you Ronda Molle (Mary Muter) Welshman would have only been 8 then. She went on to become a teacher, who taught to travel. Every two or three years she would up stumps and travel as long as her money would last - all over the globe. When I knew her she was a tiny little lady full of mischief and brightness - a pleasure to know. My mother-in-law, Molle's niece, will be delighted with this piece.

11-2-1910 Alpine Observer Mr Robert Ward There passed away at Lower Buckland on Friday last one of its oldest and most respected identities, in the person of Mr Robert Ward. Deceased who had reached the fine age of 85 years, had been in failing health for some time past, although not confined to his room, and the end on Friday was not unexpected, the cause of death being senile decay. Born in Acle, Norfolk, England in 1824 the late Mr Ward early in life set out for Australia arriving in June of 1852 in the ship Diadem. After spending a short time on the Woolshed diggings Mr Ward returned to the old country, but the temptation to make a fortune was too great, and he again sailed for Australia and with his wife took up residence on the Buckland, where he remained ever since, taking up mining as his occupation which he followed with some degree of success. He took a keen through quiet interest in all matters appertaining to the welfare of the Buckland, and could tell with avidity of many stirring scenes on that famous goldfield. Mr Ward leaves a widow and a family of vie sons, Messrs Arthur and Ernest Ward being the only two residing on the Buckland. The funeral took place at the Bright?/Buckland? cemetery on Sunday afternoon, the burial service of the Presbyterian church being read by Mr. I. Watson, Mr C. Sudekum carrying out the mortuary arrangements. (Scribbled it down quickly and just put the burial place as 'B cem' so now I don't know whether it was Bright or Buckland.)

Alpine Adviser 21-6-1901 Eliza Kinsmore obituary After a long illness Mrs Kinsmore, wife of Mr John Kinsmore, of Roberts Creek succumbed on Sunday, death taking place at the residence of her daughter (Mrs. H.Clark) at Wandiligong. The deceased lady was one of the earliest colonists, having arrived in Victoria 48 years ago, and for nearly the whole of that time she resided in the Bright district, where she was widely known and greatly esteemed for her many excellent qualities. Her husband and a large family of sons and daughter (most of whom are married) survive her. The funeral took place on Tuesday at the Bright cemetery and was largely attended. The Rev. J. Leslie read the burial service of the Wesleyan Church at the grave.

Hi folks Just hoping someone will keep an eye out for me please whenever they are looking thru 1874/75/76 papers in Melbourne (i.e. Melbourne papers) for a Teacher of Music named Crawford at the Eastern Arcade Melbourne. I don't want anyone to especially look, thanks, but if you happen to be in the classified sections (g) and see one M Crawford advertising the skills of a teacher, I'd be just delighted to know what it says. For years now I've known that in 1876 a M Crawford was advertising as a Teacher of Music, but I've never come across an ad. Was it my ggmum or the daughter, or someone else? Just so happens the Arcade was the property of Hiram Crawford so the chances are it was one of two. Thanks Denise

Hi Everyone, Following the recent discussion regarding the Holland families I am hoping someone may know something about Emily Holland born circa 1869 at Sandy Creek - now I presumed it was NSW as the family ended up in the Wagga area (I think) but perhaps it was Sandy Creek, VIC. Her parents may have been (sigh!!!) William Holland and Margaret Smith.... Emily married George Loveridge 1891 in Albury - this much I do know. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers, Catherine
