The cemetery lady site is commerical but one link in a post seemed smarter than three links to free websites. The bad site has been updated to include all the feedback even the bad. Since I am a money hungry bitch which seemed to be more important than the websites that were designed by me for your use at no charge or perhaps I should charge money to access those sites. Give a hand to Helen in Queensland. What a great idea. Here are the three links for non commerical use......lol.... and no I will not charge you to use the websites I designed them for fun and to highlight the Central Coast but this point is missed in the negative feedback. Enjoy the sites guys. http://www.ozhist.info/spencer/ http://www.ozhist.info/stpauls/ http://www.ozhist.info/saratoga/

Thank you to all who have helped me over the past few weeks all were very helpful. One of those I am researching came on the Clyde from Liverpool to Hobart in 1833 with his wife and family. The one and only thing I could find on him was a letter from Downing Street to Governor Arthur requesting that he pay the captain of the Clyde 20 pounds for their passage. I don't think this was a bonded passage but I haven't come across this type of thing before, has anyone on the lists seen this type of request. He was said to have been a soldier on his son's marriage cert, could it have been anything to do with this. The letter only said that he was a blacksmith by trade. Would like to hear from anyone who might have a suggestion or have seen this type of letter. Many thanks Irene Email: irene.schaffer@bigpond.com Website: http://www.tasfamily.net.au/~schafferi/ Lady Nelson: www.ladynelson.org.au

Thomas Chislett/Chisnett (and probably lots of other spellings) Snr aged 24, wife Ellen 22 and child Thomas Jnr aged 3 arrived per 'Kate' in 1854 at Sydney. Sadly daughter Ellen aged 1 died on the voyage out. Ellen remarried in 1856 to Henry Snowden at Carcoar in NSW. Ellen stated she was widow. Have not been able to find death registrations for either Thomas' in NSW. Also checked Victorian BMD. Any help with this 'brickwall' greatly appreciated Regards Vicki Geelong

Would this be him here in NSW in 1861? round about right age, just because she remarried doesnt mean he was dead. Also in that time span if your partner left you for more than 7 years you were apparently allowed to remarry. That is why so many convicts were given permission to marry.

I have to venture into Victorian BDM territory and find Reg nos for a marriage and a few births. This is totally new territory for me as I've not had anyone in Victoria until now. I'm having trouble using the Vic BDM website so am wondering if there are any foilbes unique to the Vic Index. I have the full names of the parties being married and even the date of the marriage but get no result even using a vague search on surnames only and a year range which is one year either side of the marriage date given in a NSW cert for the birth of their last son. Does anyone have any tips on using this Index? I vaguely recall someone telling me that it was a pig to use and they eventually had to go to a major library and look their bods up on fiche. I'd rather not do that if I could avoid it. TIA Fran

To follow-up my own post I can now advise that the search result text heading is now "Date Of Interment". A small issue for some users might be that they may intrepret the date result differently to what I take to mean, for example "06/04/1939" is shown as the Date Of Interment for Alice E Eldridge.

But remember that we are all volunteers and unpaid. This is our way of giving something back to our hobby, but it is still our hobby. We are not a no-cost resource for professional genealogists. After a recent incident where somebody (not a professional) was asking for half a dozen every few days, and another where the researcher in addition, abused our member for not replying by return, we were considering stopping the service. Look ups are not what the Ryerson Index is about. Many have interpreted the hotlinks from the newspaper in your results as a path to the Notice.

Hi Paul Found this; Messenger Boys were employed at the age of14. Those who had their IntermediateCertificate were qualified for futureadvancement. Those that did not have thisqualification were required to attend theCompany's night school to pass an internalexamination. Those not qualified by the age of16 had their services terminated. Messengerswere given uniforms twice annually. Onewinter uniform and one summer. Winteruniforms were long trousers and jackets, navyblue with red piping. Buttons were silver withsilver numbers on the collars and BeamWireless on a red patch for each upper sleeve.They were also issued with a peaked cap. Bike boys had gaiters in the early days, butlater these were changed to breeches and long ... see the rest on leggings. Summer uniforms were khaki shirts,khaki jackets, blue shorts, long blue socks andboots with a pith type helmet. Similar buttonsand numbers as winter uniform. Themessenger was required to wash his shirt andtrousers, but jackets were sent to a laundry bythe Company. Walking boys delivered to anarea bounded by the Quay, Elizabeth Street,Park Street and Sussex Street. Bike boyscovered an area bounded by Kings Cross,Surry Hills, Broadway and Pyrmont. To beselected as a bike boy was considered apromotions, as he not only received his salarybut was paid 7/6d per week for the hire of thebike. During the depression years this was afair sum as they could purchase a bike at 5/-per week on terms, and had the bike to ride towork and save fares. Also riding a bike was alot better than walking.Promotion from the Messenger service waseither to the operating room or to the generaloffice and accounts branch. If one went to theoperating room, he was expected to enrol atthe Company's Marconi School of Wirelessand obtain his Certificate of Proficiency for aFirst Class Marine Operator. This courseconsisted of radio and electrical theory, morsecode at 28 words per minute and typing.Morse code and typing skills he was expectedto obtain in the operating room by practiceduring any lull in traffic. The Marconi Schoolgave the student a concession on the fee cost.The course was initially by correspondencebut about half way through the correspondencesection, he was required to attend the schoolfor practical technical training. Being on shiftwork, one could not attend all technicallessons, found it hard to change shifts, andtherefore got behind in the course. When thishappened, and it was inevitable, one onlyreceived 2/6d of his next annual increment of7/6d. Result was that many were receivingsums of 2 pounds 50 shillings per weekinstead of 4 pounds 25 shillings per week.This was typical of the penny pinching attitudeof management.In later years, after OTC took over, theyabandoned the requirement for the RadioOfficers Certificate and opened their ownTelegraphist School.SATELLITE SNIPPETS(Dennis Grant)Saturation levels.Since Moree was the one and only Standard Aantenna built by Collins Radio, the gain atboth 4 Ghz and 6 Ghz had to be accuratelymeasured to pass qualification. To do this,Standard gain horns were fixed to the side ofthe main reflector and signal switched betweenthem for comparison. Naturally the TX powerhad to be dropped a lot when switched to themain antenna. After a whole night of testingand getting it right, the HPA engineer fromCollins miscued and switched some 3kw ofunmodulated carrier into the main antenna andin his words "Suddenly there was only onecarrier coming back from the satellite. (Intelsat2) Mine!" He was severely reprimanded forthis as he had saturated the satellite andsuppressed all the other carriers including thebeacons.Carnarvon's "Me too"Some years later Carnarvon had a problemwith their uplink power control. Not sure ofthe issue, but the effect was dramatic. Insteadof stabilizing the power level within very closelimits (+/- 0.1 dB) the Auto Power Controldrove the HPA to max power, which was animpressive 13 Kw. Although the satellite(Intelsat III) had many more transponders, thereceivers were wideband and so the saturatedreceiver took down a lot of other carriers. Intelsat through the Jamesburg Californiaearth station contacted us at Moree after aboutthe 10th such incident, as for some reason theycould not contact Carnarvon direct and forwhat I think was the only time it occurred they"Instructed" us to "Instruct" Carnarvon to shutdown their transmitters until they got theproblem resolved.*****************************VALEWILF O'DONNELL - (16 January 1925 to 12July 2006)On 16 January 1925, Wilfred FrancisO'Donnell was born into a world quitedifferent to our present times. His life andvalues were to be shaped by the majorhistorical events of the 20th century. He was -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 10 130one of 4 children. His father was a dairyfarmer on the north coast, who supplementedhis income by operating a small truckingbusiness. In the early 1930's the greatdepression struck. Although Wilf was aschoolboy, he helped his father as much as hecould, eventually leaving school to try andkeep the family business and farm operating. Unfortunately everything was lost, and thefamily sent Wilf to Sydney to try and give hima chance at a better life. Wartime Sydneymust have been a very confronting place for an17 year old boy from the country, however hequickly found a job as a messenger boy withAWA. His intention was to enlist when heturned 18.A few weeks after his 18th birthday, Wilfdiscovered that his application to join the AirForce had been rejected, as he was working ina protected industry (AWA at that time wasresponsibleforallinternationalcommunication). Much to the upset of hisfamily, he solved this problem by resigning hisjob and applying again. This time he wasaccepted. After basic training, he foundhimself, at the age of 19, stationed in Englandas part of an RAAF bomber crew, where lifeexpectancy was measured in months. His wardiaries contain an amazing account of his lifeat this time. He was in two plane crashes,bailed out once over England and flew manybombing missions. The diaries and letters tohis family also show a loving son, withcompassion for his fellow airmen who failedto return, and also compassion for innocentGerman civilians killed in bombing raids. After victory in Europe, he was to be sent tofight the Japanese in the Pacific, butfortunately the War ended and he was returnedhome.Wilf had developed an interest in radiocommunication and studied at the MarconiSchool of wireless, obtaining a radio operator'scertificate. He was able to persuade AWA totake him back and he worked there until itsfunctions were nationalised by the creation oftheOverseasTelecommunicationsCommission. Wilf married Isa on 15 October1949 and they had two children, Wendy andPaul. His experience of seeing his father loseeverything in the depression had a majorimpact on his approach to his family. He andIsa worked and saved hard, the mortgage waspaid off and the children wanted for nothing. His capacity for hard work was recognised andhe was steadily promoted, retiring as aSuperintendent on 14 July 1986.Wilf thereafter entered the third stage of hislife where he was able to enjoy the results ofhis success. A holiday home was built on theSouth Coast and Wilf pursued his interest infishing and bowls. He softened considerablyand had great pleasure with the arrival of eachgrandchild. Unfortunately Wilf's wardisabilities were beginning to catch up withhim. Over the last two years before his death,he suffered a diminishing loss of lungcapacity. Each breath was a struggle, howeverhe suffered without complaint and was nursedby Isa until his death on 12 July 2006. He willalways be remembered as a loving husband,father, grandfather and friend. Vale, Wilfred Francis O'Donnell, your workon this earth is complete, rest in peace.************************Robert James Larkins(6 March 1926 to 11 August 2006 in EastBentleigh, Vic.)Bob joined AWA in 1941 in the MessengerService then later worked in the TechnicalWorkshop under Bert Lake. He left and joinedthe RAAF during the war. After the end of thewar he joined the Victoria Police Force wherehe enjoyed a successful career until hisretirement. His funeral was on 18/8/2006.**************************THE LAST WORDI hope you enjoyed this issue which has ablend of technical, operating and commercialstories.

With a lot of help from others researchers I seem to have a good picture of John Dorsett in Tasmania. He went to Melbourne, came back to Tasmania, went again a couple of months later (with his wife, as Ann Davis) and then back to Tasmania at a later date. John joined the police. John's wife Ann(e) died in 1884; they don't seem to have had any children. John married again in 1886 at the age of 68 to the 22-year-old Emily Susan Hill and they had a daughter Marie Annie Constance four months later. John died in 1891. I am now hoping to find out what happened to Emily Susan(na) and Marie Annie Constance Dorsett. thanks again to all who have helped me with this research john Kate Spencer wrote: > Thanks to those who replied. > Already had their deaths and burial but as they married in 1849 thought > there could have been children on Tasmania CD but it seems they didn't > have any. > > Kate > > > Regards, Kate > "Jenny Chester" <jennychester@bordernet.com.au> wrote in message > news:4ac3dd5e$0$3253$afc38c87@news.optusnet.com.au... >> Hi John >> >> See http://newspapers.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/home >> The Mercury (Hobart, Tas. : 1860-1954) Saturday 23 August 1884 >> DORSETT.-On August 19, at Upper Arthur street, Anne, the beloved wife of >> John Dorsett, late Sub-Inspector of Police, in the 54th year of her >> age.

I think there are some issues with links pointing to the wrong place. I tried the Holy Trinity cemetery at Spencer. I did a search on the surname Kelly as suggested. That brought up 11 results, one of which was Joseph Bede Kelly, so I clicked on the link for that name and instead got information on Ada Francis Marshall. I tried a few of the other links in the search results and had the same problem (was taken to information on a different person). Some of the links do work -- e.g. the Edward Kelly link does indeed take you to Edward Kelly. The other issue is that the photos as displayed are too small to read. On our cemetery site, we have all the images in 3 sizes/resolutions: thumbnails (too small to be read), a size that fits OK on most screens (allowing for captions and other surrounding material on screen) which can be read for most headstones in reasonable condition, and the far larger original image necessary for reading when the headstone condition is very poor or if someone wants to copy it for inclusion in their family history. In each case, clicking on an image takes you to the next larger version of it. Kerry

Deaths of Ruby and a child of Alfred/Ivy. Interesting that both these deaths (two different families) were at Rutherglen and Euroa, both north east of Melbourne. Just to confuse the issue a little more, the Alfred William HUNT born 1904 was born Euroa. As a fall back search, Alfred's Civil service on NA shows Citizen's Forces for five years.

Hi Lesley, The following site has quite detailed information on obtaining crew lists. The instructions are quite detailed but ultimately you should be able to determine which repository has the relevant crew list. http://www.crewlist.org.uk/data/data.html Hope this proves useful in your search.
