Thank you both Chris and Kerry I'd done a number of searches for that, in all NSW papers, without any luck and can only think that my search parameters were off. I really do appreciate your assistance in this. Now I'll have to go back in and see why I missed it for future reference. J Gloria

Just a thought. In State Records NSW/ Indexes Online/ KeyName Search/Deposition Registers. Casting aspersions on your family but the timeline and area both fit. If he just popped up as you say, around 1857, it might be because of his using aliases. Might be worthwhile following this as, if it is your man, they will have more information than a number of other records might reveal.

Hi all. A bit of a long shot here. I have a great uncle Henry Benson, who was born illegitimate in 1894 in Carlton Victoria, and as a 10 year old went to live in Kotupna, near Nathalia, at the home of Mr. McCarron. He later died at Gallipoli. I have searched Trove for any clues, but can find nothing on his early life. Does anyone out there know of any scheme or other such thing that may have enabled this young man to reside there at such a young age? TIA. John Maher jstt dot 3820 at bigpond dot com

>From The South Australian Advertiser, 21 February 1899 - BROKEN HILL. BROKEN HILL, February 20. The excessive heat of the past ten days is held partly responsible for the deaths of Bridget Ahearn. aged 24, a native of Clare, South Australia, who died yesterday from heat apoplexy and heart disease; and a 17 months' old infant named Simmonds, who died in convulsions. ------------------------------------------------ Historic Australian Newspapers, 1803 to 1954 http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper Aherns in Australian Records http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~aherns/ahcrim.htm ------------------------------------------------

They suggest a few tips - It is divided into sections. Some people just look at the index, and think that's it. You need to use the DVD in two steps. Do your search in the first section, 'Index'. I recommend browsing in the 'Details' file. Note down the book, page and entry number you need. Then go to the second section, 'Old_Register'. It may appear the same as the first, however, clicking on an entry will reveal the complete and original handwritten entry, often paragraphs long. The 'Introduction' section is also useful, covering relevant topics such as ever-changing house numbering. - Numbers of houses were useless. They numbered only the buildings, not the land in between, so as more houses were built they had to be renumbered all the time.
