>From The Moreton Bay Courier, 25 October 1860 -- CENTRAL POLICE COURT FRIDAY. Before Mr. G. D. Webb, and Mr. R. Cribb. . . . Thomas Smith, a West Indian, who has been remanded on several occasions charged with robbing Mr. Ahearn's shop, in Edward-street, of £5, was further remanded until next day. . . . SATURDAY.--Before Mr. G. D. Webb, and Mr. R. Cribb, and the Police Magistrate. Thomas Smith was again brought up on the charge of robbing the shop of James Ahearn, in Edward-street. The case was initiated before the bench on Monday week last. On that occasion the prosecutor stated that he saw the prisoner in his shop on the previous Thursday morning at 8 o'clock. He remained in his shop for about an hour, and said he wanted work. He then went out with a man who said he would give him work, and prosecutor did not see him again until the next morning. On the Thursday night, however, at about 11 o'clock, constable Riley told him that the shop was open. Prosecutor was in the habit of locking up the shop at night, and going to his father's hotel to sleep ; he was quite certain that he did so on this occasion. Upon examining the shop he found that between £5 10s. and £6 had been abstracted from a loose box under the counter ; he also saw a bundle of clothes belonging to the prisoner lying on the floor of the shop ; it was not there at half-past nine at night when he locked the place.--Cross-examined by the prisoner: You did not say that you would leave a bundle in the shop--Cross-examined by the Bench: I keep the key, and after locking the place on the night in question I brought it down with me ; I think the door must have been opened by a hammer or an axe, as the lock or catch was bent.--Timothy Ahearn, a lad 12 years of age, deposed that he saw the prisoner in his brother's shop on Wednesday, and served him with a fig of tobacco ; the prisoner said he would owe his brother for it, and that would make 4œd he owed altogether. Witness replied that he did not believe in trust ; prisoner then said "You have not change of a £5 note," to which witness replied that he had, and at once proceeded to count out the necessary change on the counter ; the money was taken from a box under the counter, and the amount of change tendered was £4 19s 6d. He was going to add three-halfpence, when the prisoner said "Never mind, here's a shilling." Witness then put the money back into the box and gave him change of the shilling. The prisoner soon after went down the town with the steward of the Clarence. On the Thursday morning about 9 o'clock witness took charge of the shop whilst his brother went to breakfast, examined the box and found it all right. On the same morning he changed an Ipswich note for Southerden's man ; thought he would know it again ; was there all day until 4 o'clock ; went back to the shop about 9 o'clock in the evening to put up the shutters and found they were up ; he then returned to the hotel in company with his brother about an hour or so after a constable came to his father's house and asked his father if the shop did not belong to him, to which an answer in the affirmative was returned ; the constable said the door was wide open ; on going up to the shop witness found the box but not the money. Saw a bundle of clothes there consisting of a pair of blankets, a pair of trowsers, and a coat ; the lastmentioned article he recognised as having seen on the prisoner the previous day (clothes produced) -to be continued ------------------------------------------------ Historic Australian Newspapers, 1803 to 1954 http://ndpbeta.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/home Aherns in Australian Records http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~aherns/ahcrim.htm ------------------------------------------------

HI Carolyn I would suggest you contact Fremantle Cemetery Direct for this information http://www.mcb.wa.gov.au/NameSearch/search.php It Appears that your fellow was exhumed from his original grave and placed elsewhere. also buried at Freo on the quick search i did is Allen Broker (died age 80) b. abt 1871 d. 1951. Is this his father??? Walter Raymond d. 1974 is also there The grave grants appears to expire in 2012, so i am guessing someone may  be tending the grave sites... The cemetery may not be able to give out much detail, but you could ask them to contact the current leasee... alternatively a trawl through the West Australian newspaper around the time they were buried may produce some living names for you to contact. Another alternative is.. you may be able to get a death certifcate for the ones in the 1970's or earlier.. that may or may not have other family details. this ones also yours.. ALFRED HENRY OLSEN Seems like there is a family gravesite.. they all appear next to or in the same area of grave registration . cheers Jewelly West Oz Shift your problems to challenges.  When you have problems, you worry about them.  When you have challenges - you are working, applying, and attacking your plan to get results. This shift in thinking from problems to challenges is important in making tension an asset. --- On Sat, 21/11/09, Hayley <hales@e-wire.net.au> wrote: -------Original Message------- From: Carolyn Harris Date: 21/11/2009 2:04:41 PM To: GENANZ Newgroup Subject: OLSEN, Western Australia I am looking for descendents of Herbert Ludwig Broker OLSEN born 1902 Fremantle and Alice Martha PHILPOTT born 1906 Gravesend Kent England.  I have only 3 children for them, but believe there to be more legit and otherwise.

Hi Everyone, Warning - blatant self-promotion post ahead. :) I am currently running two blogs (Web Logs, a sort of online diary) for Historical Societies/Museums in Maffra and Stratford in Gippsland, Victoria. They are at http://stratfordhs.blogspot.com/ and http://maffrahs.blogspot.com/ Both these blogs are now carrying news of new records available. In the case of Maffra, they are the extensive share registers of the Heyfield Butter Factory (short title) and some for Maffra. Newry is about to be added. No-one has any idea what other local factories are going to be in the box. There are no family names on the blog, only a list of holdings, but they will give some idea of records that can be accessed, how and when. There are some more interesting records due to be added as soon as the opportunity arises. They will be listed on the blog as they are catalogued. In the case of Stratford, news of new records is also now being added. The biggest news there is that the index to the Stratford Primary school rolls from 1894 to about 1940 is now accessible. Unfortunately, due to too many other things on my plate, I cannot offer lookups from any of these records. But if you are making a visit to the area, it is worth knowing that they are out there, so you can make arrangements well in advance to access them. Stratford had a visit from a researcher from a long distance away last week. She sent the family tree well in advance, and it was a joy to have her with us, as we had a chance to do a bit of digging first. And she left substantial notes with us in return. Planning ahead definitely pays off. And so does keeping an eye on what is going on in your area. I would be interested in hearing of any other societies or family history groups who are using blogs to alert people as new records become available. Regards Linda kapana[at]netspace.net.au

I would appreciate a look up of any births to the union of John J. LOTT and Eliza V. LOISE who married in Sydney in 1909. Thank you. Colin.

I would like to make contact with L.Webster who posted a query on the Rootsweb message board in 1999, 2000 and 2001 regarding research on the LOISE family in Australia, in particular, Alexandre LOISE who married Harriet Helen GORBY. Any help with making contact with L.Webster would be appreciated Colin.

Good grief . > Marie in Queensland . Looking for Daly,McGrath and Leighton Sometimes people can be precious - no idea why. We all have different education levels and skills, some of us have been doing family history for years and know what terminology to use when we ask a question. It took me years to be brave enough to ask a question on a forum or newsgroup, I just used to read everyone else's answer. I use the anonymous newsgroup and although I sign it with my given name, I will not be passing on any more information than that. Just answer the question if you can, if you can't just be quiet and don't judge how other people answer questions. I have received a phone call from one person who went through the phone book ringing people until she found me just from my given name and an answer to a question that I gave, so do be careful how much information you put out there.
