Hello listers, Looking for other researchers of the family of William Adams & Ellen Thorne who were having kids in the Bendigo area in the 1870s. Trying to establish details for one of their daughters. Charlotte Adams born 1870 White Hills or Huntly married first Richard Sutton in 1888. He died 1891 and Charlotte remarried William Clark in Footscray. Four known children to William at Footscray, KooWeeRup and last two at Outtrim. From there she vanishes into thin air. I have all the BDMs. Just need someone who perhaps has a will that mentions Charlotte? Thanks, Jenny

Hi everyone Wondering if anyone has a connection or knowledge of any of these names - Michael BRENNAN, of Yea district John Orr BOAG of Rochester district William KENYON of Mansfield area Thomas M DAVIS of Kyabram Theo L. Hazelman of Kyabram These guys probably had something in common. regards Denise

Thanks Pat, Yes I found that they went back. The father died in 1874 in Goulburn where it seems many of them married and had children. A search on Google found Throwers still in the area. I am hoping to make a connection with someone in northeast who may know what the father did - maybe he was employed and someone on the list may have the name in their records, or family tree. Trying every avenue to find them during those years.

Hi Denise, I think that you will find that the THROWER family moved to NSW. Had a quick look at the NSW disk, and daughter to THROWER Robert Gordon and Mary (nee DAWSON ) born Beechworth 1857 Reg. 3950, married THROWER Rebecca Letitia m GOODMAN George Frederwick. Sydney 1876 THROWER Robert G died 1874 Reg. 4952. Parents James and Elizabeth. There are also deaths for a couple of sons. If you go the the NSW BDM on line, you can check this out also.

Good afternoon from sunny Brisbane I have part of a letter written about the journey from England to Sydney and surrounds where the writer and her family stayed for a short time, before heading to Yackandale (sic) on the prettier side of the Murray river where her sister lived. She doesn't mention the name of the sister, but the family was THROWER. Has anyone come across this name in the northeast before. I'm looking for Robert and Mary Thrower and family. They had young children, and the year would have been 1852-53. It would appear the parents had a child in Beechworth (registration) in 1857. regards Denise

Thank you Catherine for taking the time to send the photos. They are very much appreciated. I was born in the area and spent my early years in Wodonga. Allen Prentice was an uncle of mine and I'd heard that his father or brother had left glass negatives of early Wodonga. It was interesting to learn that many of the pictures in the book were taken by his father, Bob Prentice - Robert Joseph Prentice m Eliza Emily Allen 1894 Ch Robert Allen Prentice b 1909 Wodonga George Edward Prentice b 1911 Wodonga Best wishes, Margaret Cooper ____________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

As you know Chris and I are working on a project regarding the Canadians and Americans who came to the northeast. Sometimes the amount of work in front of us is quite daunting, but we are enjoying it and learning some very interesting facts about the early days of the northeast, and the lives of these men. At the moment we are working on a rather large number of men who came from one small area in the USA. All to Australia, many to the northeast. We feel at some point it likely a large percentage of these men were in the northeast at some point - we have found that many of them stuck together. What is more amazing are the connections we have found between these men, at home, here, family members, business partners, travelling companions, distant relations, working relationships and mining mates. The cross referencing is an enormous part of the work. Another amazing thing is the number of these young men who died within the first year of arrival. Fortunately for us, we are working with an Historical Society in the USA. We are being sent information from family history books, mostly family names, but sometimes information like one of these men died and was taken back to the US to be buried.!!! Can you imagine this! As no burial details have been found in the US, we are working on this one at the moment trying to find a burial place here - the thought of taking a body on a 3 months sea voyage in 1854!!! The aim is that when the lives of these men from this area are compiled into a story format, we shall present this to the Society in exchange for the help they have given us. They then will have a record of the lives of these men for future generations of researchers in that State. As we work thru the names, we are particularly interested in the ones in the northeast but we also try to assist the Society in relation to the others we know were elsewhere. I know they would be interested to hear of anything of these men below, and we are more than willing to swap information with you. If anyone knows anything of these at all would you please get in touch with either Chris Wild or myself. To those we have been in contact with before, we are still working towards your names, we have not forgotten you or them, we are still gathering information as we find it, -- we just get sidetracked when we find one name connects to another name in the northeast, and suddenly we have two or three to research instead of one. Some of these men stayed in the northeast, or moved to other parts of Australia for life, others returned to the US - we are managing to track them wherever they went. We will start with a reasonably small number of these men now - we have written a story on half of these men to date. Augustus Brainerd Ebenezer Hill Philander Steward William Cleveland Sam Bickford Henry Neil William Pearson Norris Marston Albert Leighton Payson Edward Pollard Henry Pollard Daniel Allen Horace Eaton Asher Fletcher Freeman Allen Frank Allen Leonard Richardson John K Morrison Francis Teague Horatio Steward Abraham Longfellow If any of those above are of interest to you, please get in touch. We will send more names thru another time. regards Denise

Hi Wendy, Thank you very much for the Undertaker information. I feel sure that if they were in business in 1891 then they were sure still to be operating their business ten years later, so I am confident that your information is that which I seek. The name of the man who drowned in the Murray at Yarrawonga was David Clark, from Burramine, but originally from Ayrshire Scotland. David and his two brothers, William Clark and Andrew Scott Clark migrated early 1860s, the latter two with a wife and young children each, but David married in Burramine to an Elizabeth Thom who was from Burramine but of Ayrshire parents. If we have a connection it would be wonderful.

Hi, My G Grandfather "Black" Angus McColl drowned up in Yarrawonga in 1909, so did his cousin "Red" Angus McColl, same year, same town. Caused major confusion for family research until we got them sorted. Is this the same person that drowned? Sorry I must have missed that post. Regards Jo

Hi Janet, Strachan & Bowles, Undertakers, Belmore St., Yarrawonga. They were in business in 1891 so I assume it would be the same firm in 1901. BTW What is the name of your relative who drowned? I remember a similar story from my file but can't remember the name of the individual to check it out. Best wishes, Wendy in Sydney Also, in deciphering the hand-written Inquest report for a member of the family who drowned in the Murray River by misadventure, we are having trouble with the name of the Undertaker, or rather the firm. We have Mr ST ? Bowles (March, ? and Bowles). The deceased drowned August 1901 at Yarrawonga and we wondered if somebody may be able to help with the name of the firm of Undertakers at that time.
