Hi Everyone, Is there anyone in the vicinity of Harden NSW who would be able to take some photos of my REARDON ancestors graves there?? I'm going to Sydney in March and was going to visit Harden but I don't drive and have found that it is a 5hour train trip! So I figure it is more beneficial to spend my time in search mode in Sydney! I would of course pay any costs, would be eternally grateful and would reciprocate with any searching here on the Gold Coast if needed. Please contact me off the list for more details etc!! Hoping someone can assist, Kind regards, Cherie On the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.

Hello Family lore is that one of our Fehligs emigrated, probably about 135 years ago, from Harsum, Hannover to Australia, and died there about 105 years ago. The story is that, when he died, no one in the family was willing to travel from the USA to Australia to claim his land as inheritance, so it defaulted to the state. I suspect that this would have been Dietrich Fehlig; I have traced all the other siblings. Can you please supply any idea as to what I could do to determine if there is any truth to the story? Thank you. Bob Doerr in the beautiful Missouri Ozarks email address: bdoerr@rollanet.org

I don't think that the arrangement is with the Aust. Govt....... I rather believe that the only outlet in Australia is via the 'Society of Australian Genealogists' who were asking about $900.00 + (total, in Feb 1999) for all four which was too steep for me.

Hello Listers, I know that I've seen before a site where I could download BDM requests for all states but cannot find it now. Does someone have this URL please? Thanks Robyn Robyn Kelly Echuca, Victoria rrkelly@origin.net.au

Hi all, I posted a message thinking I was looking for a needle in a haystack, and managed to hit pay dirt, so I'm hoping that my luck is holding out :-) I have been told that my Gt grandmother's sister at one time owned a hotel in the Nyngan area. This would probably have been around the 1920/30's. Her surname would probably have been Fitzpatrick, and her first name may have been Margaret. I'm aware that Galvins owned two of the hotels in Nyngan in the '30's, but am wondering how many hotels there actually were/are, and if anyone may have any reference to one being owned by a Fitzpatrick. Thanks in advance, Penny Canberra ACT

Hi, Needing some help finding a lost relative. I have an Alfred McCarly George born 1863 to William George and Mary Lyons. His sister, Minnie George travelled to Cairns, Queensland from Stawell, Victoria where she was born. Anyone knowing the whereabouts, marriage, death or anything, would love to hear from you. Many thanks Cheers Lyn

You can purchase LDS CD's from Carlingford in Sydney. You can't purchase the Australian Vital records though due to some agreement with the Aus Govt.

Are you SURE it says that his address was Wellington - or could it have been WELLINGTON STREET? Do you have a copy of the actual hospital registry - it would be available from the National Archives, and sometimes if you have a typed certificate, the information can be incorrectly read and transferred from the hospital record to the death entry to the certificate [ I know this as I have looked at the Auckland Hospital registers not long ago, and the writing can be somewhat spidery ]. Just a thought - Wellington St is in the central city, and in the area that many people lived around back then.

Hi there fellow listers, Just wondering if anyone can tell me if the cd's that we can order through the US LDS site can be purchased at the local LDS libraries for a similar price or at all for that matter. eg. 1851 Brittish Census for $6-00 US. TIA Diana in Perth WA

Hello Listers, I found the following book review in The Great Circle Vol 8 No 2 October 1986 and I wonder if this collection still exists or has been combined with another? Chase WEAVER, A Guide to the AIlen Knight and Captain Walter T F. Lee Photograph Collections, Allen Knight Maritime Museum, P.O. Box 805, Monterey, Cal., USA 93942, 90 pp. paperback. In 1918 the seventeen-year-old AlIen Knight signed on as an AB on board the Falls of Clyde , a four masted barque. From this time on he was an avid collector of ship photographs, and a photographer of ships. Forty years later he estimated that he had about 9,000 photos, and soon after that he acquired the Australian Captain Walter F. Lee's collection of almost 6,000 more. The Knight collection also includes about 250 logbooks, scores of ship Registers, going back to 1839 , ship models, navigating instruments and maritime artefacts generally. The guide to this part of the collection is in separate sections covering West Coast fishing vessels, mainly purse seiners (over 200 names in all); US Navy and other 'military' vessels (over 600); Motorships and steamers (about 3,000); US Navy and other "military" vessels (over 600); and sailing ships (almost 1 ,000). There is a separate alphabetical index of over one hundred figureheads held in the collection. Captain Walter F. Lee, born near Port Adelaide in 1884, began his long sea-going career as an apprentice on the full-rigged ship Bankfields . He, too, became an avid photographer of ships and collector of ship photographs. He was well known internationally for these interests, and provided sorne of the illustrations for books by Basil Lubbock,John Masefield and others. His collection comprises many negatives on film or glass plate , and 46 albums containing 6,294 ship photos of high quality dating back to 1843. Included are many photos of sailing ships engaged in the Australian and New Zealand inter-colonial trade, South Sea Island traders, Australian port and shipyard scenes. The main alphabetical index lists about 3 ,500 names of ships. There is also a section of eighteen local ports of which there are general views. Throughout the Guide, the rig or type of vessel and the date of build is given. These lists Include many names also recorded in the Nichols (NSW), Brodie (Vic.), Edwardes (SA) and De Maus (NZ) collections, but they also hold many rare and unique items. Australia's greatest loss, perhaps, is that some of the work of some local photographers of ships is represented nowhere else but in the Lee collection - for example, Captain Orison Beaton and Sam Hood of Sydney, William Sweet of Adelaide, and Jack Kinnear of Auckland. It is much to be regretted that such a magnificent local collection should have left these shores, but at least it is in good hands and well cared for. Still, one could wish that Captain Lee's son had offerred 'first refusal' to a library or rnuseum in his own country first , as, surely, his father would have liked him to do, Hope someone knows if this museum/collection is still accessible? Regards Ada

Hi Grahame, All I recall is that there was some ??Dispute about an issue and they decided that they would no longer be sending it via the Australia Mailing List. Check archives as this may have something in it.

For a few years I have had the death record of my great-x-uncle who died in the Auckland Hospital on 22 or 23 June 1880. I am now starting to write up some of the HART family history and it just struck me - I think I have an answer to my questions. David HART died in the Auckland Hospital on 23 June 1880 (although the death record states 22 June). The name of the Medical Practitioner is not given, just Medical Officer of RMS "Australia". Now here is what I think is the answer but can anyone help me with my suggestion please. The death record says 'from Sydney', but the Auckland Hospital register states his address as Wellington. If David came from Sydney, would it have been on the RMS "Australia"? I know the above sounds silly in that it has taken me so long to think of this, but can anyone tell me anything about the RMS "Australia"? Also, what would have been in Wellington c1880. Can anyone give me any background to Wellington prior to that time. Ever hopeful of solving one of the mysteries of this family.
