Could some SKS researching any shipping around 1839 to 1842 check if they have any Matthew and Sarah Lennon arriving in Aust. From Manchester. I am beginning to think they walked on water.

I'm trying to find out who and how I need to apply for documentation on the Death of a relative in Newcastle (NSW) in 1999. I am able to obtain her death certificate from BD & M, but could SKS advise me how and where to apply for copies of the inquest documents. As always my appreciation to the List. Best Wishes, Don

I am looking for anyone who may be researching the STAPLETON Family. I am seeking information on George and Sarah STAPLETON parents are Mary Ann CRAMPTON and Enoch STAPLETON, Enoch died at a very young age (36) Mary Ann re married a Harry SMITH and had Two sons and one Daughter I know of.. They came out to Australia with the Stapleton Children in 1883 and I believe settled in Brisbane... At least that is where 2 of the four Stapleton children were.. Is anyone researching this SMITH Family or STAPLETONS ... Would love to hear from you. Jan. Enoch and Mary Ann had.. George, Sarah, Benjamin and Enoch.

Previous Post should have read that Forrster Muir joined the Army to serve in WW1. not WW2.... Forrester's son Forrester also joined from Townsville in WW2. I believe this Forrester settled in New Zealand after the 2nd World War. Jan

----- Original Message ----- From: Jan Stapleton To: AUSTRALIA-L-request@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, January 14, 2001 8:27 PM Subject: Forrester Henry MUIR I am seeking help in locating the date and place of death of Forrester Henry MUIR. Forrester is the Son of William MUIR and Lydia BROWN.( William died in Gordonvale in Qld) He lived in Townsville before the 1st World War, He served in Africa and joined the Australian Army in Townsville to fight in WW2. He was discharged in 1918 and was diagnosed with premature senility. His Vets Affairs records show he was given a pension.. which was cancelled 12 months later because a continuance form was not returned. Forrester was discharged in Brisbane but never returned to his Family in Townsville. Letters from his wife to the Vets Affairs dept at the time prompted a search for him but nothing was found. There is also a letter from a cousin Margaret SMITH who was living in Surry in Sydney in 1919 ( This lady I have not been able to connect with the family yet) asking for help to find her cousin. Forrester's Family always believed he deserted them intentionally. But after receiving his Army records I believe he just did not know how to get home. Hopefully someone is researching this family and can shed some light on Forrester's date and place of death.. Or can point me in the right direction to find him. I have checked the Qld BDM's up to 1945 and The N.S.W. BDM's as far as I can. also the Victorian BDM's up to as far as we can. Nothing shows for Forrester. Is there any other place I can search. Hoping for some direction Jan.

Just to 'keep up with the German' interest being shown on the list at present may I introduce my two German surnames with the hope I may have a 'link' out there! MADER arrived 1841 from Baden CRERER or deviations just from Germany - Gilbert CRERER was a schoolteacher in the Goulburn area in the 1858's (aroundabout then). Colleen Central Coast NSW

Does anyone know of an episode at the Female factory at Bathurst c1840 where the inmates rioted one Sunday morning and many of the women escaped. "many women escaped, a few were caught, a few gave themselves up, some were taken prisoners with bushrangers & some were never caught." I was reading an account in a diary and wondered if the actual date is known? Names mentioned at Bathurst are: Mary JAGGERS Matron of the Factory John JAGGERS her husband Micky Delaney - Policeman Bob the Pieman Rose Clancy, inmate Same diary. Having left Bathurst for Solitary Creek near Sodwalls which is West of Bathurst. Names mentioned are: Eliffe - a Yorky Harry Duncan Jack Peacock Does anyone recognise these names?

Dear Listers, Thanks again to all who responded to my Rawleigh's question. By typing "Rawleigh's" into my search engine, I found they have an interesting web page which answered all my questions. I had no idea they were still in business. Jill

Hi, Can anyone tell me anything about Captain James "Bully" Forbes, who had made the fastest Atlantic Crossing on record in his time on the ship Lightning and was also captain of Marco Polo in the 1800's. I heard that he was captain of another ship which wrecked. I thought it was the Schomberg, but could find no record of it; however there was a ship named Stormbird which was wrecked in the 1800's. Would like more details on Captain Forbes and his career. I have some Forbes relatives, but there seems to be some confusion whether or not Captain Forbes was one of them. Norma in Utah

Hi Denise There is quite a lot about German emigration in the book :- Valley of the Crooked River - European Settlement on the Nambucca" ISBN 0 86840 205 2 by Norma Townsend. An interesting read even if not specifically about your Germans. I learnt about this book on the Bellingen site www.rootsweb.com/~nswbelli/ Mine was Franz KOCH who changed his name to Francis COOK born Baden and came to Australia with his parents on the ship Triton in 1853.

Good evening all, I have been offline for a few days because my computer died and I had 16 viruses!. I update my vet virus now and then but I was told that I need to do it weekly. I can't understand from where all the viruses originated because I never accept attachments knowingly.
