Hi Listers I am hoping to be able to start knocking down one of my brick walls with the help from anybody that is able to please. From the PROV I have found on the unassisted passenger list a Bridget Kelly and a James Kelly. I believe these could be my GGrandmother and her brother James as the dates for their ages match pretty well. If someone would do a look up of the microfiche I would be able to either eliminate or continue to consider these folk possible family. The year is 1886, month AUG, ship is the M E WATSON, Port is B, Fiche # 470, page # 001 for both Bridget and James. I have no history of Bridget between her birth in 1864 Lower Ballingarry, Co. Tipperary and her marriage in 1890 in Sts Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Melbourne, Victoria and then in 1893 she came out to New Zealand. If I can confirm that Bridget and James are brother and sister on the ME WATSON then I can start looking for James Kelly in Melbourne. Many thanks Chris New Zealand

Is there anyone on this list who could do a lookup for the inscriptions on the graves of Jack & Iris Chaston in Brighton Cemetery, South Australia. Jack was Town Clerk of Brighton and died 10th August 2005. I know they exist and I have found their names listed on a couple of sites in google. Jack's death details are also listed in the Adelaide Advertiser on 12th & 15th August I would really appreciate the notice details also if someone can help. All help appreciated.

Lesley, In case you've not already checked this: http://www.prov.vic.gov.au/ under the index to Register of Assisted British Immigrants 1839-1871, has a list of people on "Herald of the Morning" which apparently had at least two trips to Melbourne (1857 and 1859). I think they may be passengers only but there may be more information available from the records at PROVic (if you are able to get to Melbourne).

Hi All I am trying to trace a possible crew member of the Herald of the Morning. The ship brought my g.g.grandmother to Melbourne from Liverpool with her sister in 1857. Sister Mary married a seaman in 1858 so I'm picking she met him on the ship to Australia. They were both assisted immigrants originally from Ireland. Any ideas on how I can proceed please? Cheers Lesley

Hi Irene When you are searching have you tried MaThews. You probably have i just want to make sure :o) My  rellie Sophia Matthews (Mathews) b.23 Feb 1849 Longford Tasmania  original spelling was with 1 T but she was recorded with 2 on various documents. Right Spelling is MATHEWS 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 Wed, 23/9/09, IRENE SCHAFFER <irene.schaffer@bigpond.com> wrote: From: IRENE SCHAFFER <irene.schaffer@bigpond.com> Subject: William Matthews To: GENANZ-L@rootsweb.com, "AUS-Tasmania Roots" <AUS-Tasmania-L@rootsweb.com>, AUS-TAS-CONVICTS@rootsweb.com Received: Wednesday, 23 September, 2009, 11:04 AM Dear Lists,                     I need your help again, I am looking for a William Matthews who married a Emily Brady in St George in Hobart on 12 August 1850.

Hi all Someone sent me a word doc with some family photos copied into it. Could anyone tell me how to get those photos back to a JPG etc. most grateful regards, Marg Port Stephens, NSW

Assuning that it was a British-registered ship then its crew list, at that date, should be at The National Archives (of the UK). But you will need to find its port of registry to locate it in series BT 98 there - not something that you can do over the net.

Hi Marg, Right mouse clicking on the photo, select Copy, then open Irfanview (if you have it - it's free from the internet and very good) and paste it into that program.

A useful reference, Sherrie -- thanks. However, the word 'encyclopaedia' (what a pity that an Australian university should use the American variation) suggests to me an all-embracing coverage of the subject, but that is clearly not the case. It seems to be a quite Victoria-centric treatment, notwithstanding the reference to Australia in the title. There is, for example, no mention at all of Rocky River or Nundle or Lambing Flat (Young) or Grenfell, all significant gold-producing areas in NSW. Maybe it is a work in progress and will eventually cover all aspects of gold in Australia -- let's hope so.
