Hi all Could someone please do a lookup for me? Margaret MURPHY who was from Limerick Ireland born 1825 married George TURVEY (b.1803, England) in 1842 at Geelong, Victoria, Australia. There is some discrepancy as to whether the sixth child is named Michael. Some researchers say that the sixth child was a George Turvey who married Jessie Cameron (1875) and lived in NSW up around Junee. Thankyou very much Belinda Turvey

Hi All, Just a small notice from the Argus of 1879 that I found interesting, did laughing gas take pain away or just make you not care?

"Mr. BAMFORD is the only qualified Dentist to administer the laughing gas. TEETH EXTRACTED Painlessly while the Patient is under its influence. Fee, 10s. 6d. 97 Collins-street east."

Hello Listers I've had an SOS from a cousin in England to help her solve a mystery. She has a letter from a nephew of her ggf Rufus WHITE from 15 Leicester Avenue, Streathfield, Sydney dated 27 January 1925, the nephew being Leonard (Austin Leonard W) WHITE married to Nellie. They had two daughters in their early-mid teens at the time, names unknown. Is there someone with easy access to NSW Post Office Directories or relevant Electoral Roll who could check to see if Leonard (ALW) WHITE was still listed in 1945 when the Death Index finishes, please? Many thanks, Pam [email protected] Beaudesert, Queensland, Australia

Hello I'm looking for the birth of George Victor BULLOUGH c1887 and who his parents were Thankyou Helen

Searching for information on Michael and Elizabeth Quinn who arrived in Australia from Tipperary in 1841. Elizabeth's parents were Thomas and Margaret Flood. The family lived in the Moruya area, and I believe Michael may have been involved in a fatal accident about 1852, leaving Elizabeth to raise a young family alone. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Maureen.

Thanks for the replies to my request on the NSW Kennedy Deaths. It has really helped speed things up for me and we have narrowed down the search by having place names which I don't get on the internet search at BD &M online. Thanks again Annette

Hello list I would love to exchange info with anyone researching the (O)Callaghan from the counties of Fermanagh or Tyrone in Ireland hoping for a flood of replies Patrick Callaghan

Hi. I was just wondering if anyone with the NSW B,D & M CD could possibly do a look up for me. We are trying to track down the death of a Michael Kennedy and are having absolutely no luck. I have rung every cemetery I can think of in the Sydney area as he was being looked after by a relative there before he died. No luck. I was just hoping someone could do a list for me of all the Michael Kennedy's that died between 1930 and 1945. I have trouble getting to the library to do a look up myself as I have a 1 and a 2 year old and for some reason the librarian frowns when I bring them with me :-) Thanks Annette

Hello List, I was after advice on where to go to get a copy of a decree nisi in NSW which was granted in 1998 thanks all Sharyn ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 19, 2001 5:30 PM Subject: AUSSIE-GEN-RESEARCH-D Digest V01 #207

Hello Listers, I believe a forebear, born in Sussex, arrived in Sydney on the 'Moffatt' on 31 May 1841. Apparently he was a bounty passenger. Would anyone know something about the "Moffatt" and whee I could examine her passenger list? I know a little about the John Dunmore Lang ships carrying Scots to NSW, but nothing about English bounty passengers. Would a kind soul be able to tell me something about this scheme? All the best Sybil Cameron

If anyone is researching the following names, I would be happy to share information/photos I have. regards Denise JENKS Henry Crawford - born 1862 USA died Lismore NSW 1916. Mother Almina (Crawford) Jenks died Melbourne 1896, father John Henry JENKS died Civil War 1864. MCNEIL Anna (nee McLean) b Scotland died Victoria 1870's (husband Norman McNeil died on board ship to Australia 1852) - thirteen children 10 of whom survived the voyage. regards Denise

Thankyou to everyone to wrote to me about the above, will be going ahead witht he purchase of the book, as soon as l get the money together. Kerry in Cranbourne Australia, [email protected]

I know this is completely off topic but I thought it might remind us of better or easier times. Subject: Fw: Childhood Just in case your day is as quiet as mine - Close your eyes... And go back in time... Before the Internet and DVD. Before semi-automatics machine guns, joy-riders and crack... Before SEGA or Super Nintendo... Way back... I'm talking about hide and seek in the park. The corner milk bar, hopscotch, billy carts, cricket in front of the garbage bin, skipping, handstands, footy on the best lawn in the street, British bulldog 1-2-3, go home stay home, slip'n'slide, the trampoline with water on it, hula hoops, pogo sticks, stepping in enormous puddles, mud pies and building dams in the gutter. The smell of the sun and fresh cut grass. 'Big bubbles no troubles' with hubba bubba bubble gum. A choc-top Mr Whippy cone on a warm summer night after you've chased him round the block. When 20 cents worth of mixed lollies was a meal and smoking fags was really cool. Wait......watching Saturday morning cartoons...short commercials, The thunderbirds (if you got up reeeeeally early), the smurfs , Shazam, He-Man, Captain Caveman, Josie and the pussycats, Hair bear bunch and heeeey heeeeey heeeeeeey it's faaaaaaat albert. Or staying up late and sneaking a look at the "AO" on the second telly. When around the corner seemed far away, and going into town seemed like going somewhere. A million mozzie bites, wasp and bee stings. Sticky fingers. Cops and robbers, cowboys and indians, riding bikes and catching tadpoles. Marco polo in the neighbours' pool ("fish outta water?!" "NOOOO"), drawing all over the road with chalk. Climbing trees and building cubbies out of every sheet you mum had in the cupboard. Walking to school, no matter what the weather. Running till you were out of breath. Laughing so hard that your stomach hurt. Jumping on the bed. Pillow fights. spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for the giggles. Being tired from playing... Remember that? The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team. Water balloons were the ultimate weapon. Cricket cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle... eating raw jelly, making homemade lemonade and sucking on a funny face. Remember when... There were two types of sneakers - girls and boys. Dunlop volleys with the green n gold or blue and the only time you wore them at school, was for "sports day." You knew everyone in your street - and so did your parents! It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends. You didn't sleep a wink on Christmas eve. When nobody owned a pure-bred dog. When 50c was decent pocket money. When you'd reach into a muddy gutter for 10c. When nearly everyone's mum was at home when the kids got there from school. It was magic when dad would "remove" his thumb. When it was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at the local chinese restaurant (the empress of china) with your parents. When any parent could discipline any kid, or feed him or use him to carry groceries and nobody, not even the kid, thought a thing of it. When being sent to the principal's office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited a misbehaving student at home. Basically, we were in fear for our lives, but it wasn't because of drive-by shootings, drugs, gangs, etc. Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat! And some of us are still afraid of them!!! Didn't that feel good? Just to go back and say, Yeah, I remember that! Remember when.... Decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-mo". "Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest. Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in "Monopoly". The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was boy/girl germs, and the worst thing in your day was having to sit next to one. Having a weapon in school, meant being caught with a slingshot. Nobody was prettier than your Mum. Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better. Taking drugs meant orange-flavoured chewable aspirin. Ice cream was considered a basic food group. Going to the beach and catching a wave was a dream come true. Abilities were discovered because of a "double-dare". Older siblings were the worst tormentors, but also the fiercest protectors. If you can remember most or of these, then you have LIVED!!!! Pass this on to anyone who may need a break from their "grown up" life.. I DOUBLE-DARE YA!!!

Dear Listers, Would somebody with the marvellous Victorian BDM CD covering the period prior to 1913 try a comprehensive search for me please? I am looking for the deaths of Samuel ELLIOTT and his wife Elizabeth (MCGUCKIN). There are at least four possible spellings of ELLIOTT - ELIOTT, ELIOT, ELLIOT, and ELLIOTT. I have tried EL*IOT* with success finding their children on the 1921 to 1985 CD. McGUCKIN also has its share of variations - McGUICKIN, McGUICKEN, McGUICHEorIN, and all manner of McGOO** sounding styles as it is sometimes pronounced as "McGOOGAN" I am always ready to play detective with my dead peoples CD if listers will send me clues to follow up.
