<p>This blog records some information and stories about my family history and
genealogical research. I am researching my father’s family (Northcote,
Keneally, Riley, Butler, Licet, Maher, Fitzpatrick, Hickey) and my mother’s
family (Walters, Kingsbury, Fleming, Carrick, Hoey, Torpy, Holloway, Higgins)

While their move to Australia was the start of a new part of their lives, the places they left mustn't have been far from their daily thoughts. Yesterday, at the <b><a href="https://unpublishedwater.weebly.com/" target="_blank">Running Waters of History Conference</a></b> at Wyong, historian <b><a href="https://unpublishedwater.weebly.com/uploads/2/5/8/3/25835887/dr_richard_reid_speaker_profile.pdf" target="_blank">Dr Richard Reid</a></b> described how the wording on our ancestors' gravestones were examples of "glancing backwards" to their homelands.</p><p>Here are a few examples of how my ancestors' graves showed how their families wanted their origins to be remembered, even in death.</p><p>One of my great-great-grandmothers was Ellen TORPY (c. 1833-1906). She was from a small place known as Ballyfliugh, outside the town of Windgap in County Kilkenny. She became Ellen FLEMING when she married Patrick FLEMING in 1853. Ellen is buried in a grave on the edge of Rookwood Cemetery in Sydney.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnh2aIOD3k61FUu2dSxyitgZ4R_ulhMWn344cQOyOMk9qwAEIj3xcmKLJcTRe3HH0W53Wla7bKsrEt3pZjSzYQNoYoBxubg7mPaLDE5IKMFc15Mdzl0yD0wmhgTXmghuXkHQHMyyydsUA0YPoHzIG5PfnpTm-t-9lLBDoFnSdnabgifGeBB2XG_mIJyPmH/s1335/Ellen%20Fleming%20grave%2004%20web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1335" data-original-width="1001" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnh2aIOD3k61FUu2dSxyitgZ4R_ulhMWn344cQOyOMk9qwAEIj3xcmKLJcTRe3HH0W53Wla7bKsrEt3pZjSzYQNoYoBxubg7mPaLDE5IKMFc15Mdzl0yD0wmhgTXmghuXkHQHMyyydsUA0YPoHzIG5PfnpTm-t-9lLBDoFnSdnabgifGeBB2XG_mIJyPmH/s320/Ellen%20Fleming%20grave%2004%20web.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p>Ellen's Irish origins are recorded in the wording on her headstone:</p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p style="text-align: left;"><b>ELLEN FLEMING</b></p><p style="text-align: left;"><b>Native of the Co.

Fremantle is also the place where one of my ancestors lived in the last years of her life in the early 1900s, my great grand aunt, <b>Anne Jane RILEY (1849-1920)</b>. Anne was one of the younger sisters of my great-grandmother, Margaret Ann RILEY (1843-1927). Anne and Margaret were two of the eleven children whose parents were Thomas RILEY (convict from Ireland) and Harriet LICET (also from Ireland).</p><p>Anne started life as Anne Jane RILEY and became, through her two marriages, Ann Jane MALONEY, and then, finally, Annie Jane LENNON. So, while in Fremantle, I did a bit of research about Anne's life. This blogpost is about Anne's last child, <b>John Richard LENNON</b>, who was born in 1898 in NSW and died in 1898 in Western Australia.</p><p>Today is the 125th anniversary of baby John Richard LENNON's death.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCwYT6evJtJLZseSIFd1iMdM0tZkVJwiswaIlg8ABe_Towio_eHcuOG4bV77IKbzn8dZ5PY7UigCKvJ4DkXm1eJ3cX1gH7cVjA7XtvpmWmJV8qVKxQmo2kXhbkgRKlo1RLAXiK7iCfz1glHNlVjxQDQY56mVT3jKTSBYzp98OVKavcU7O2RABzMSOGnxCZ/s237/Baby%20silhouette.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="223" data-original-width="237" height="188" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCwYT6evJtJLZseSIFd1iMdM0tZkVJwiswaIlg8ABe_Towio_eHcuOG4bV77IKbzn8dZ5PY7UigCKvJ4DkXm1eJ3cX1gH7cVjA7XtvpmWmJV8qVKxQmo2kXhbkgRKlo1RLAXiK7iCfz1glHNlVjxQDQY56mVT3jKTSBYzp98OVKavcU7O2RABzMSOGnxCZ/w200-h188/Baby%20silhouette.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><p>Little John Richard LENNON's life was short so I wanted to record it here to ensure he is not forgotten. He was my first cousin twice removed.</p><p>John Richard LENNON was the son of Annie Jane LENNON (nee RILEY) and John LENNON. He was born some time around February 1898 and he died on 22 August 1898 at the age of six months. During his short life, he travelled with his parents from NSW where he was born to Western Australia where he died.</p><p>Most of the information I have about John's short life was drawn from his death certificate (certificate no. 1492, Registrar of BDM, Western Australia):</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>He died at Mount Margaret, Western Australia (the Mount Margaret minefield area was located about 20-30km from Laverton in WA).</li><li>His cause of death was "entero colitis exhaustions" (some form of inflammation of the intestines).</li><li>He had been ill for ten days before he died.</li><li>The medical attendants who saw him on the day of his death were J. B. Hurst and M. B. Melbourne.</li><li>His father was John LENNON, a storekeeper.</li><li>His mother was Annie Jane RILEY.</li><li>He was born in Ryde, New South Wales.</li><li>He had spent the first three months of his life in NSW and the second three months of his life in WA.</li><li>The informant of his death was John LENNON, the child's father, whose residence was British Flag, Mt Margaret.</li><li>He was buried the day after he died, on 23 August 2023, at Mt Margaret Cemetery.</li><li>The undertaker was John LENNON, his father.</li><li>There was no minister present at his burial but the witnesses were H. Johnstone, P. Sutcliffe and H. B. Clarke.</li></ul><p></p><p><br /></p>

As Carol Liston showed last weekend, many old maps include details of land owners, landmarks and even, in some cases, names of tenants.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>When I looked up the old maps available for the town of Bourke, I found a map that was dated 1927 but it was based on maps from earlier days, and many of the map markings were dated 1880, 1886 and 1889. So, it seems that although the map was updated in 1927, much of the early information from the 1880s formed the basis of this third edition map of the town of Bourke.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRTYWdXAOH13-lnW3KMTCdfc6J-7WMeGu5k8oGBiuSIOCVDOjkxuc8jFCxkXMqwUjlpZD1UKDxJN-1UTgxV4en091fblrzbLi9ccwEmTB95AK6NYWwD1TdaFdGtcnmBhufBeR0TgfsPy5gKcdhu_W4ERcp4hXEoqInIgdqQ3yn6QfmMkDSkGAUQPWMpw/s842/Old%20Bourke%20map%201927%20TITLE%20extract.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="522" data-original-width="842" height="248" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRTYWdXAOH13-lnW3KMTCdfc6J-7WMeGu5k8oGBiuSIOCVDOjkxuc8jFCxkXMqwUjlpZD1UKDxJN-1UTgxV4en091fblrzbLi9ccwEmTB95AK6NYWwD1TdaFdGtcnmBhufBeR0TgfsPy5gKcdhu_W4ERcp4hXEoqInIgdqQ3yn6QfmMkDSkGAUQPWMpw/w400-h248/Old%20Bourke%20map%201927%20TITLE%20extract.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Source: Extract from the t</span><span style="font-size: x-small;">hird edition of the TOWN OF BOURKE map, 1927, File Name: </span><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">wl_tnBourke.jp2</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"> from </span><a href="https://hlrv.nswlrs.com.au/" style="font-size: small;" target="_blank">HLRV</a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Although some of the land-owners' names were difficult to see, I went searching for the name "E.

WEBB's name - one in Tarcoom St, two in Darling St (in the next street, parallel to Tudor St) and two in Tudor St. Since many of my other records mentioned Tudor St as being the location of the NORTHCOTE family home, I have made a guess that the home they lived in was located at one of these properties: either Lot 15 or Lot 16 Tudor St, Bourke, as indicated on the map below.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR4AsPdJ2uteDGTZaYJ0LHtPQU7MfBoetF2lD1WCHwWS0V__N-R0IZ8iHlgQZAccQFY51Is8eX10c0mbxa4AaAQYMA4Ehef4y0kR0erAtgUoPS8gdcH_6u95WsDGu4e6alt9Ek2Y89Zpbrv-vgDElIcYohxONNAmaJ38dvLssdfmV_pTaApiMCjRXGeQ/s1448/15-16%20Tudor%20St%20Bourke%20from%20old%20map%201880s-1927%20CLEARER.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="398" data-original-width="1448" height="110" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR4AsPdJ2uteDGTZaYJ0LHtPQU7MfBoetF2lD1WCHwWS0V__N-R0IZ8iHlgQZAccQFY51Is8eX10c0mbxa4AaAQYMA4Ehef4y0kR0erAtgUoPS8gdcH_6u95WsDGu4e6alt9Ek2Y89Zpbrv-vgDElIcYohxONNAmaJ38dvLssdfmV_pTaApiMCjRXGeQ/w400-h110/15-16%20Tudor%20St%20Bourke%20from%20old%20map%201880s-1927%20CLEARER.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Source: Extract from the third edition of the TOWN OF BOURKE map, 1927, File Name: </span><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">wl_tnBourke.jp2</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"> from </span><a href="https://hlrv.nswlrs.com.au/" style="font-size: small;" target="_blank">HLRV</a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div><h2>Step 3: Finding the land deeds on the HLRV</h2><div>Using the information on the 1927 third edition of the map of the Town of Bourke, I found out the Volume and Folio ("vol and fol") reference numbers for lot no. 15 and no. 16 Tudor St Bourke:</div></div></div></div><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><div><div style="text-align: left;">Section 37, Lot 15, Volume 562, Folio 193</div></div><div><div><div style="text-align: left;">Section 37, Lot 16, Volume 562, Folio 194</div></div></div></blockquote><div><div><div><br /></div></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhylW_hrjJW3vRHHNY-0B3hms6nf1OPaatn-LDAP_Y744hvmy3GKEarPJ0ZFEp7UMPw0ocvR7CsHwAVczAC-_duj0tNIGDfaj2z-vXtMIehFE0GfG2HcdBSuwHwts0AagVn5PIPF-4-nAPrqWLTDf4Avg1JC412cytTkcCJOKoxDC8D-MrErWGkmsVulQ/s798/15-16%20Tudor%20St%20Bourke%20from%20old%20map%201927%20VOL-FOL%20extract.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="798" data-original-width="787" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhylW_hrjJW3vRHHNY-0B3hms6nf1OPaatn-LDAP_Y744hvmy3GKEarPJ0ZFEp7UMPw0ocvR7CsHwAVczAC-_duj0tNIGDfaj2z-vXtMIehFE0GfG2HcdBSuwHwts0AagVn5PIPF-4-nAPrqWLTDf4Avg1JC412cytTkcCJOKoxDC8D-MrErWGkmsVulQ/s320/15-16%20Tudor%20St%20Bourke%20from%20old%20map%201927%20VOL-FOL%20extract.jpg" width="316" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Source: Extract from the third edition of the TOWN OF BOURKE map, 1927, File Name: </span><span style="text-align: left;"><span>wl_tnBourke.jp2</span></span><span> from </span><a href="https://hlrv.nswlrs.com.au/" target="_blank">HLRV</a></span></div><div><br style="text-align: left;" /></div></div>I was then able to search, using the vol-fol numbers to find the sale deeds for these two lots.

Their names were:</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Catherine CARRICK - she registered with her married name, Catherine KINGSBURY</li><li>Margaret FLEMING - she registered with her original name as she was not yet married in 1903</li><li>Margaret BUTLER - she registered with her married name, Margaret KENELLEY</li><li>Margaret RILEY - she registered with her married name, Margaret NORTHCOTE</li></ul><p></p><p><br /></p><p>I am so proud of all of my four great-grandmothers who all registered to vote in 1903, along with about 80,000 other women in Australia, following the law that was passed the year before in 1902 to allow "all" women to vote who were aged 21 years and over. Clearly this law was not inclusive of <i>all</i> women, it allowed <i>some </i>women to vote. Although it was a great step forward for equality, the law didn't include First Nations people and this is one of the most awful aspects of this law.</p><p>Then, in the 1903 election, many women did actually vote, including my four great-grandmothers. They were permitted to enrol on the "Roll of Persons entitled to Vote under the Commonwealth Franchise Act of 1902".</p><p>Imagine how excited I was when I started looking up the 1903 electoral rolls to find out which, if any, of my great-grandmothers registered to vote for the 1903 federal election ... </p><p><br /></p><h1 style="text-align: left;">Catherine KINGSBURY, nee CARRICK (1876-1912)</h1><p>First, I found my mother's mother's mother, Catherine KINGSBURY (nee CARRICK). She registered to vote at the Rozelle polling place, as part of the Dalley Division of electoral areas. She registered with her married name, Catherine KINGSBURY. She had married James Walter KINGSBURY three years earlier at St Patrick's Catholic Church at Church Hill in The Rocks, Sydney.</p><p>I found it very touching to note that she attended the same polling place at Rozelle as her mother, my great-great grandmother, Catherine CARRICK (nee HIGGINS), and three of her four siblings: Annie STAPLES (nee CARRICK), Thomas CARRICK and Patrick Joseph CARRICK. They all registered to vote at the same polling place. I couldn't find her eldest sister, Mary Ann McLISTER (nee CARRICK), but maybe she voted at another polling place. Her father, Thomas CARRICK, had died just two years earlier; otherwise, I'm sure he would have joined his daughter and wife at the polling place.</p><p>Here is a record of Catherine KINGSBURY (nee CARRICK), my great grandmother on my mother's mother's side of the family, on the Australian Electoral Roll in 1903. She is listed just above her husband, James Walter KINGSBURY.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0WVrH8zDkB6-7_CqfXHGSV6J4CouTOCxUJBJ9nhr2voV24Rn7lZfEKtjFqTWq6PyRFBOkYu-yQga7JDMAZDai84HPfnA_5G4-qTyAjZlhR34LHA3j8NgB8VA665XktyujKzJDXddmGIylUX5yHIfWSjV2HRk15YUNpQN1D4uSFivMBOoh7e9EtcAZ7g/s1625/KINGSBURY%20(nee%20CARRICK)%20Catherine%201903%20Electoral%20Roll%20Rozelle%20ZOOM.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

This blogpost is a few years overdue. Sorry to Joe and Jimmy who were my fantastic guides when I visited Callan, Windgap and Ballyfliugh in County Kilkenny in Ireland back in November 2017. These are the lands of my FLEMING and TORPY ancestors, specifically Patrick FLEMING and Ellen TORPY who left Ireland in 1853.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSZkeX3W2DUzNYoOr9C7NliaYVx5zHbvWKqqbE3lpmHo90gQa4T_gfvOzmJUAGZ090RZbZsRLYrfEXJYBngrIpIvvkv7Bg5CaPYyZ2pEtX1M6J5DBiGHPwHLiU0I7B7GJvAOR6hMWRY2nVHnhz_KpaTj_wYvPnwVFedrG66gSVXzbHMzOk1mW1lmdGXg/s1272/Windgap,%20Callan,%20Ballyfliugh%20MAP.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="592" data-original-width="1272" height="149" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSZkeX3W2DUzNYoOr9C7NliaYVx5zHbvWKqqbE3lpmHo90gQa4T_gfvOzmJUAGZ090RZbZsRLYrfEXJYBngrIpIvvkv7Bg5CaPYyZ2pEtX1M6J5DBiGHPwHLiU0I7B7GJvAOR6hMWRY2nVHnhz_KpaTj_wYvPnwVFedrG66gSVXzbHMzOk1mW1lmdGXg/s320/Windgap,%20Callan,%20Ballyfliugh%20MAP.JPG" width="320" /></a><br /><h4><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Windgap, Callan, Ballyfliugh in County Kilkenny (Map: Google Maps)</i></span></span></h4><div><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><br /></i></span></span></div></div></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><h2 style="text-align: left;">Sowing the seeds, asking for help</h2><div style="text-align: left;">In the first part of my trip to Ireland in 2017, I dropped into the Callan Library to find out as much as I could about the area where my ancestors lived in the 1800s, and possibly before this time. At the Callan Library, I met a very helpful librarian, Patricia. I explained that I was looking for information about my FLEMING and TORPY ancestors who left the area back in the 1850s. Patricia took my name and contact details. Fortunately, Patricia passed my details onto a couple of local historians, Joe Kennedy and Jimmy Hoyne. A few weeks into my trip, I had a phone call from Joe who told me that he was interested in my family history research, as was a friend of his, Jimmy Hoyne. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">An invitation</h2><div style="text-align: left;">Joe and, his mate, Jimmy invited me to join them for an afternoon of touring around the town of Windgap and surrounds. Between 1 and 5pm on Sunday 5 November 2017, I was given a fantastic tour of the area where my FLEMING and TORPY ancestors lived in County Kilkenny in Ireland.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><div> This is a list of the places and people we visited on the afternoon of Sunday 5 November 2017:</div><ul><li>The towns of Callan and Windgap in County Kilkenny</li><li>The townland of Ballyfliugh, just outside Windgap</li><li>Newtown cemetery at Rathculbin</li><li>Knockroe passage tomb</li><li>Home of Jimmy Grace and his family</li><li>Old Fleming homestead in Ballyfliugh</li><li>Slate quarry near Windgap</li><li>Hennessy farm near Rathculbin</li><li>Old Windgap church and cemetery</li></ul></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">To put the above places in context of the story of my ancestors, I'll weave some of the photos of our trips to the various places (above) into my ancestors' story (below).</div>

<br /></div>

My FLEMING and TORPY ancestors in County Kilkenny</h3><div><div>One set of my great-great grandparents were Patrick FLEMING (c.1830-1880) and Eleanor/ Ellen TORPY (c. 1833-1906). They were the parents of my great-grandmother, Margaret FLEMING (1866-1939), who was the mother of my maternal grandfather, John (aka Jack) Joseph WALTERS (1905-1970).</div><div><br /></div><div>On 3 February 1853 Patrick FLEMING married a girl on a neighbouring farm, Eleanor/ Ellen TORPY, in the Roman Catholic Church in Windgap, St Nicholas, in the Parish/District of Windgap, County Kilkenny. At the time of their marriage, both Patrick and Ellen were listed as living at Boolafluigh (now known as Ballyfliugh). The marriage ceremony was conducted by Father Thomas MOYLAN, the Parish Priest. The witnesses at the wedding were Pat McNAMARA and Ellen FLEMING. </div></div>

There is nothing much left of the Old St Nicholas Catholic Church in Windgap. Apart from a stone altar, the church building is no longer there. The ground where the church once stood resembles the shape of a cross (pointed out to me by Jimmy Hoyne when I took the photo below in November 2017) and the outer rim of the cross indicates where the walls of the old church used to be.<br /><br />

Transcription of the memorial stone:<br /></b>
<br />
This monument is sacred to the memory of the<br />
Rev'd Thomas Moylan PP<br />
Whose remains are here interred<br />
He was Parish Priest of Windgap<br />
During the period of ten years<br />
Everyone loved this good gentle<br />
zealous pastor<br />
He was ever anxious to promote the <br />
spiritual and temporal welfare<br />
of the people<br />
The schools of this parish to which he<br />
gave liberal donations were established<br />
by his exertions<br />
To the poor he was a father<br />
and kind benefactor<br />
He was a great favourite with the<br />
clergy of the diocese to whom he was<br />
endeared by ties of the sincerest friends<br />
He died on the 23rd August MCCCCMVI<br />
in the 61st year of his age<br />
Requiescat in pace</div>

The book is called </span><i>Callan 800 (1207-2007) History and Heritage</i>, published by Callan Heritage Society 2013. In the year before Patrick and Ellen left Ireland to go to Australia, the FLEMING farm reported some less than ideal crop losses which may have motivated them to look for a place where they could make their living elsewhere. This may have been the reason the newlyweds left Ireland for Australia in 1853, just a few months after their wedding.</div><div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></div><h2 style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin: 0px;"></div></div></h2><h3>The townland of Ballyfliugh</h3><div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Joe and Jimmy helped me to find the old FLEMING home in Ballyfliugh. Although no one had lived there for many years, it was a fantastic feeling to walk through the house and imagine what it was like to live there.

Just a few months after they were married, Patrick and Ellen travelled from their homeland in County Kilkenny to Australia on a ship known as the <i>Caroline</i> and arrived in Moreton Bay, Queensland on 14 November 1853. When they arrived, Patrick was 35 years of age and was listed as a farm labourer. Ellen, noted as Eleanor, was listed as a wife and was 20 years of age. The shipping records showed that they were both from Kilkenny, were Roman Catholic and could read and write.</div>

Sippey, an aboriginal native, who had been confined in Brisbane Gaol on charge of murder, broke loose from prison and intelligence arrived that he had rejoined his tribe.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Twelve seamen of the emigrant ship, Caroline, who combined to refuse duty while in the harbour of Port Jackson, and who still refused during the continued passage to Moreton Bay, were taken before the Water Police Magistrate on their arrival there. They were charged with combining to impede the progress of the ship. At first they agreed to return to their duty, but finally, after making several frivolous charges, which the Water Police Magistrate would not entertain, eleven of them positively refused to go on board, except on the assurance that nothing should be deducted from their wages for the payment of the men who had been hired to do their work. They were remanded to gaol for seven days.</blockquote>

The immigrants by the Caroline were all landed in Brisbane on the 21st ultimo: most of them were being quickly engaged at high rates of wages.</blockquote>

<div style="text-align: left;">Patrick and Ellen FLEMING lived in the Chippendale area of Sydney. To support his family, Patrick worked as a quarryman in the inner city suburb of Pyrmont for most of his life. Some of the quarries in Pyrmont were known as <b><a href="https://www.visitsydneyaustralia.com.au/lost-quarries8.html" target="_blank">Hell Hole, Paradise and Purgatory</a></b>, depending on how difficult the Sydney sandstone was to carve in each location. Patrick died on 12 October 1880 at 76 Little Abercrombie St in Sydney. Ellen FLEMING (nee TORPY) died on 25 July 1906 at 3 Bartley St, Chippendale in Sydney. She is buried at Rookwood Cemetery but I have not yet been able to locate Patrick's grave.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOFvHkshwvseIThj-hAuDELzXVapaVNbBk1sVWYrVcYOV6mbi1fVxK3ctrCjvPKNCdQh5VWOC2Lsm2EgpznBRSLRMmsrhfbOcQZe997NBiyk7eKyIE2v2zTTiJkZr37eUJ_OXoMPE2dYH8YMBqlvnw3gbm_AIfbRISHDGqUehc6EROo3a_jmuk-ZzvXQ/s445/Maybe%20Ellen%20Torpy%20cropped.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="445" data-original-width="364" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOFvHkshwvseIThj-hAuDELzXVapaVNbBk1sVWYrVcYOV6mbi1fVxK3ctrCjvPKNCdQh5VWOC2Lsm2EgpznBRSLRMmsrhfbOcQZe997NBiyk7eKyIE2v2zTTiJkZr37eUJ_OXoMPE2dYH8YMBqlvnw3gbm_AIfbRISHDGqUehc6EROo3a_jmuk-ZzvXQ/s320/Maybe%20Ellen%20Torpy%20cropped.jpg" width="262" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Ellen FLEMING (nee TORPY)</i></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK_vTrvZYXEFZli68sToo4XpWYLAmD5zuIki6JKXrVcwy3phHUCch3StyQnGdYb8Z7EYV1_uPI3wu4g2sWMqabw11_DnQ32M7wRA-XN1IZC2BumVwWsNWYEK2Jb4fRm8gj12-J-i5EvX_YRUO9ZXKUJgQKP2FH2SmEaGxW8AquQjdqnjpWbXLnq6lcSw/s1001/Ellen%20Fleming%20grave%2001%20web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="751" data-original-width="1001" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK_vTrvZYXEFZli68sToo4XpWYLAmD5zuIki6JKXrVcwy3phHUCch3StyQnGdYb8Z7EYV1_uPI3wu4g2sWMqabw11_DnQ32M7wRA-XN1IZC2BumVwWsNWYEK2Jb4fRm8gj12-J-i5EvX_YRUO9ZXKUJgQKP2FH2SmEaGxW8AquQjdqnjpWbXLnq6lcSw/s320/Ellen%20Fleming%20grave%2001%20web.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnSMiCtI03QczMvHtrsn4Wl5ldH1vSBOOJJhX4xlD-3mApIenWQQVsSI2yqSeFVkFrIXQpXxoAJ9ScAd62rb1XLT_FRp3wyVs0aGaGNdNq21cThehykMYysY_25GjgTmdPrMbKJbGb-TvDphE-dPpWpUEUhtP0jbdq7mpwMkhb3MBCrmGql1No8CBu3w/s3648/Ellen%20Fleming%20grave%2006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3648" data-original-width="2736" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnSMiCtI03QczMvHtrsn4Wl5ldH1vSBOOJJhX4xlD-3mApIenWQQVsSI2yqSeFVkFrIXQpXxoAJ9ScAd62rb1XLT_FRp3wyVs0aGaGNdNq21cThehykMYysY_25GjgTmdPrMbKJbGb-TvDphE-dPpWpUEUhtP0jbdq7mpwMkhb3MBCrmGql1No8CBu3w/s320/Ellen%20Fleming%20grave%2006.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Ellen FLEMING's grave, Rookwood Cemetery, Sydney</i></span></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>

<div>A huge thank you goes to Joe Kennedy and Jimmy Hoyne, for their generosity and local knowledge, and for whizzing me around the countryside in Jimmy's little red go-anywhere car. We fitted a lot into a four hour timeslot. Thanks also goes to Patricia at the Callan Library for putting me in touch with Joe Kennedy in the first place, and to the other people I met that afternoon, Jimmy Grace (a local Ballyfliugh man) and his family, and Pat Hennessy (a possible long-lost TORPY).</div><ul></ul></div>

To be able to walk into the home of our FLEMING ancestors in Ballyfliugh was one of the most exciting moments of my family history research since I started this journey in 1990.</div>

The fabric is stretched between two hoops, the outer hoop being slightly larger than the inner hoop.</p><p></p><p>My paternal grandmother, Ellen Mary/Maria KENELLEY, became Ellen (Nellie) NORTHCOTE when she married my paternal grandfather in 1930. She was born in in the nineteenth century, in 1893, she died in the twentieth century, in 1985, and is remembered today in the twenty-first century. She used to call embroidery "handiwork".

To commemorate Anzac Day in 2020, I would like to make a tribute to my father, Carew Joseph Trevor NORTHCOTE, and the No. 22 (City of Sydney) Squadron of the Citizen Air Force in Australia, which was formed on 20 April 1936. My Dad belonged to Squadron no. 22 when he was in the Citizen Air Force in the 1950s.<br />

Dad often spoke of his time in the airforce. He especially enjoyed the friendship with his mates, the travel between airforce bases as well as working on the planes. Dad's specialty was working on the electrical instruments and meters that were used in to fly the planes. His time in the airforce left him with a lifelong love of planes, flying and airports.</div>

Dad's father was a tailor and often created amazing costumes for him to wear as a young child. apparently he loved dressing up in these costumes and attending fancy dress events. Dad was a member of Lorraine Dawson's Dancing Darlings.<br />

This blogpost is just a place to record a weird little thing I found out recently, along with a lot of questions and, as always, a list of possibilities to investigate in the future.<br />
<br />
So, here's some background information about one of my great-grandfathers, who I tend to refer to as Walter William NORTHCOTE or "the mystery man".<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpeAkN-5dWfdFdvfgekWQkyQvK4FnoVXUkfi-baEHqY5_Ca5mldvKqipeQgYFgYB5hyFyN7VnJ9jwVNA5JbOVzt6RmHjBwErm2vQFYBOFAsH3keMKQq08sTLLocFELtYLlHZA0qgeIb05l/s1600/William+Walter+Northcote+born+1843+from+Gretta.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1354" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpeAkN-5dWfdFdvfgekWQkyQvK4FnoVXUkfi-baEHqY5_Ca5mldvKqipeQgYFgYB5hyFyN7VnJ9jwVNA5JbOVzt6RmHjBwErm2vQFYBOFAsH3keMKQq08sTLLocFELtYLlHZA0qgeIb05l/s200/William+Walter+Northcote+born+1843+from+Gretta.jpg" width="168" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
My mystery great-grandfather used many first names but he always used the same surname. His varied names were recorded on a variety of records that were left behind after he died in 1888. After his death, various forms of his first name were also recorded on the marriage and death certificates of his children.<br />

</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">

</li>
</ul>
Apart from making it very difficult to research this ancestor with at least six (William, Walter, Henry, George, Bede, John) different first names, creatively ordered on many documents, I have been asking a question for almost 30 years, why did he change his first name so often? Did he have something to hide? Was he just casual with the truth? Was he just adopting new names as he felt like it?<br />
<br />
Together with his wife, my great-grandmother, Margaret RILEY, they gave their 7 sons some interesting names:<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>Walter John </b>NORTHCOTE, born in 1871 at Bodangora, near Wellington</li>
<li><b>William Montgomery</b> NORTHCOTE, born in 1875 at Mitchell Creek or Bodangora, near Wellington</li>
<li><b>Alfred Joseph</b> NORTHCOTE, born in 1876 at Bodangora Creek, near Wellington</li>
<li><b>Aloysius Carew Standish</b> NORTHCOTE, born in 1879 at Dubbo</li>
<li><b>Percival Phil Ernest</b> NORTHCOTE, born in 1881 at Warren</li>
<li><b>Arthur Francis</b> NORTHCOTE, born in 1884 at Girilambone</li>
<li><b>George Bede</b> (aka<b> Leo Bertie Bede</b>) NORTHCOTE, born in 1887 at Bourke</li>
</ol>
<div>
According to our verbal family history, this family of NORTHCOTEs worked along the train line, as it was opening up between Orange and Bourke during the 1870s and 1880s.</div>

Introducing William MONTGOMERY</h3>
<br />
A few weeks ago, I visited the NSW Archives at Kingswood in Sydney. I looked up a the Registers of applications for auctioneers', hawkers' and other licences. Because these records are not indexed, I browsed through the book, page-by-page. I was looking for a record of my great-grandfather who apparently worked as an auctioneer in 1883 in Dubbo, as recorded in the NSW Police Gazette. Although I didn't find my ancestor, I did find someone whose first and surnames were exactly the same as my great-grandfather's second son, William Montgomery NORTHCOTE. The man I found referred to in this index had the name of William MONTGOMERY and he was living and working in the same area near Wellington in NSW where my NORTHCOTE ancestors were living - that is, Mitchell's Creek, near Bodangora, not far from Wellington.<br />
<br />
I found William MONTGOMERY in the 1872 and 1871 sections of the book below, Registers of applications for auctioneers', hawkers' and other licences (1865-1873).<br />

I thought this was a bit of a coincidence that this man, William MONTGOMERY, was living in the same small area of NSW that my ancestors were living.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Yet more questions:</h3>
Was the NORTHCOTE family friends with William MONTGOMERY and his family in Mitchells Creek at Bodangora? Did they name their second son after him? Or was he a relative?<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
DNA questions</h3>
When I told this story to one of my genie friends, Janelle, she suggested that I consult my DNA results to find out more. "Were there any MONTGOMERYs in your DNA matches?" she asked me.<br />
<br />
The short answer is YES! While the MONTGOMERY name only pops up at the 5-th-8th cousin level, it certainly comes up when I search for this name more than the NORTHCOTE surname comes up. I'm still not sure what this means but it sure is interesting.<br />

Lily Ann KINGSBURY, my grandmother, was born on 25 November 1902 in an upstairs bedroom of no. 10 Red Lion St, a little terrace house in Balmain South (an area of Sydney now known as Rozelle). She lived in this home with her family for the first three years of her life.<br />

Lily's father's name is recorded on the 1901 census as "Jas KINGSBURY" (James Walter KINGSBURY) who was living with three females. I think they were:<br />

No. 8 and no. 10 Red Lion St are part of a set of terrace houses that were built in the 1880s, known as "Mary's row". The outside of each of these homes has probably not changed that much since they were built. Here is how they look now:<br />

Today, over 116 years later, three of Lily's descendants visited the terrace house where she was born. Along with my Mum (Lily's eldest daughter), my Aunty Mary (Lily's niece) and my Uncle Brian, we all visited the house and walked in the footsteps of our ancestors. It was a very moving feeling to walk over the threshold of this house into the space where the KINGSBURY family lived over 100 years ago and where my lovely Grandma (my Mum's Mum and my Aunty Mary's Aunty Lil) was born.<br />
<br />
The bottom floor was made up of two living rooms, a kitchen/laundry/toilet and a courtyard.<br />

According to a few records I have found (1901 Census, Sands Directory of Sydney, Birth Certificate), it seems that the KINGSBURY family lived at no. 10 Red Lion St for about five years from 1901 through to 1905. By June 1905, when Lily's brother, James Thomas KINGSBURY, was born, the family had moved to Merton St, Balmain South (now known as Rozelle).<br />

Thanks to a Google Alert that let me know that no. 10 Red Lion was available for rent, and thanks to the real estate agent who allowed us to look through the house this morning, we were able to walk back into the past to an important time in our family's history. We enjoyed walking on the floorboards, climbing the stairs, touching the doors and imagining the lives of our ancestors in this house.<br />

Found you at last. The burial place of Hanorah STAPLES (nee CARRICK), aka Hannah, Annie<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
<br />
After searching for the grave of my
great-great-aunt, Honorah/ Hanora/ Hannah/ Annie STAPLES (nee CARRICK)
for almost a decade, I found it yesterday at Rookwood Cemetery. With the
help of the GPS coordinates on the <a href="http://search.catholiccemeteries.org.au/" target="_blank"><b>Deceased Search</b></a>
on the Catholic Cemeteries website, and just a bit more time, I came
across her grave. It was quite a lovely moment, especially when I
realised she had a headstone, was buried with two of her young sons and
was in sight of the graves of her four other siblings who arrived with
her in Australia in 1880.<br />
<br />
In the blog post below, I will refer to her as Hanorah as this is the name on her gravestone records.<br />
<br />
Hanorah was the sister of one of my great grandmothers, Catherine KINGSBURY (nee CARRICK). She is my 2nd great-aunt.<br />
<br />

</div>
Hanorah STAPLES was born as Hannah CARRICK on 20 December 1872 in St George, Lancaster in the County of Lancaster, Lancashire England. Her parents were Thomas CARRICK and Catherine HIGGINS, both of whom were from Tuam, in County Galway in Ireland. Thomas and Catherine moved to England from Ireland and married at the Church of St Philip and St James, Chapel St, Edgeley in the District of Stockport in the Counties of Cheshire and Lancaster on 19 November 1859.<br />
<br />
Hannah's parents, Thomas and Catherine CARRICK, had a number of children in England after they were married:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>James, born on 1 February (or 18 January) 1861* </li>
<li>Mary Ann born on 3 July 1865</li>
<li>Thomas born about 1868</li>
<li>Patrick, born on 24 February 1870</li>
<li>Hannah, born on 20 December 1872</li>
<li>Catherine, born 15 February 1877</li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">* It seems that James did not travel with his family to Australia.</span><br />
<br />
Hanorah arrived, wither her parents and four other siblings, in Sydney from England on 27 October 1880 on the ship, <i>La Hogue</i>.<br />
<br />
She married Edgar Nathaniel STAPLES in Sydney in 1900 and had a number of children between 1901 and 1916, including:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Mary Agnes Madeline (also known as Madeline) born in 1901</li>
<li>Thomas Nathaniel Anthony born in 1902</li>
<li>Martin Edward (or Edward Martin) born in 1904</li>
<li>James Rowland born in 1908</li>
<li>Catherine Margaret or Margeurite born in 1910 or 1912</li>
<li>John or George J born in 1916</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
When did she die? Where is she buried?</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hanorah STAPLES died on 13 May 1916 and was buried on 15 May 1916 at Rookwood Cemetery. Five years before her death, one of her young sons, James Rowland STAPLES died on 23 October 1911 when he was only 3 years old and was buried in this grave on 24 October 1911. The other son buried with Hanorah was her little 6 month old son, John G STAPLES. He died on 25 November 1916 and was buried in the grave with his mother and elder brother on 27 October 1916. It seems that Hanorah died soon after the birth of this last child, John.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Hanorah's grave is located in a beautiful spot at Rookwood Cemetery.</div>

Some help with finding her grave</h3>
<br />
I had been looking for Hanorah's grave for many years. I did get close a few times but, because I'd visited the cemetery on such a hot days in the past, I hadn't persevered in my search. Some of my notes about my searching records show comments like "Think I got close today but it was too hot to keep searching". Before the cemetery visit yesterday, I found the latitude and longitude coordinates of her grave, according to the <a href="http://search.catholiccemeteries.org.au/" target="_blank"><b>Deceased Search</b></a>
on the Catholic Cemeteries website. When I typed these into Google Maps on my phone, this didn't take me straight to the exact location of her grave, but I was taken to within 50-80 metres of her grave. This was enough to get my preconceptions out of my head about where I thought she was. I had also searched for a few of the names of other people buried nearby (William John HUTTON, grave no. 588; Lucy MARTIN, grave no. 589; Robert BUTTERS, grave no. 595), so when I found these nearby graves, I knew that I was close to Hanorah's grave. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2FeFgkHL7DSIU7MnJmh0-P3iYgGGLfzlUGEJwwGBrIJ9U_jKr0wqWatqR7WmAHhmpURc_x0Fi60y4SryjaTA6hknkGSM1ufyTyYl4WvhO5dfVgNI9oNtABMy7O_JMGS7eenGu29-9tohS/s1600/Deceased+search+Hannah+CARRICK.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="859" data-original-width="642" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2FeFgkHL7DSIU7MnJmh0-P3iYgGGLfzlUGEJwwGBrIJ9U_jKr0wqWatqR7WmAHhmpURc_x0Fi60y4SryjaTA6hknkGSM1ufyTyYl4WvhO5dfVgNI9oNtABMy7O_JMGS7eenGu29-9tohS/s320/Deceased+search+Hannah+CARRICK.JPG" width="238" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Because I had had so much trouble with finding Hanorah's grave in the past, I had assumed that she did not have a headstone so I was especially surprised when I did find her grave that she did have a headstone. It was quite an emotional moment because I felt I had let her down in the past by not finding her grave. That sounds a bit silly when I type this but I'm sure other family historians will understand this sentiment. <br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Close to her siblings in life and death</h3>
Hanorah travelled with her parents and four other siblings, Mary Ann, Thomas, Patrick and Catherine, from England to Sydney in 1880. They all lived around the areas of Rozelle, Balmain and Auburn in Sydney. At one stage, Hannah lived at no. 8 Red Lion St, Rozelle, next door to her sister Catherine and her family at no. 10, and just around the corner from her parents and her eldest sister, Mary Ann.<br />
<br />
Hanorah's grave is in sight of her four siblings' graves who are also buried in Section M2, Catholic Section N at Rookwood Cemetery. Their grave numbers are:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Mary Ann McLISTER (nee CARRICK)<br />Section Grave Mortuary 2, Area N, Grave no. 887</li>
<li>Thomas CARRICK<br />Section Grave Mortuary 2, Area N, Grave no. 888</li>
<li>Patrick CARRICK<br />Section Grave Mortuary 2, Area N, Grave no. 888</li>
<li>Catherine KINGSBURY (nee CARRICK)<br />Section Grave Mortuary 2, Area N, Grave no. 887</li>
<li>Hanorah STAPLES (nee CARRICK) <br />Section Grave Mortuary 2, Area N, Grave no. 591</li>
</ul>
<br />
The photo below shows the location of the five siblings' graves.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Although her life was short, it appears to have been lived close to her other family members. In death, she is not alone and is close to her dear siblings and some of her children.<br />

Imagine my surprise when I found a series of newspaper articles describing how one of my great-uncles, Carew Standish Aloysius NORTHCOTE, was entered into the <b>Ugly Man Competition</b> in Gulgong in 1937. The competition was organised to raise funds for the Gulgong Hospital. Although I never knew my great-uncle Carew, his family and friends thought he was a great fella, with a generous heart, a happy disposition and a good sense of humour. He would have needed it to be nominated for this competition.<br />

I'm not sure if he warranted the honour or not but I'm sure my great-uncle Carew NORTHCOTE took the nomination with his typical sense of humour. Here are a few pics I have of him from our family's photograph collection.<br />

<b>Military battle, family anniversary or significant family event</b><br />
Week 3 - Sunday 21 August - Significant military battles are commemorated during the month of August such as Mouquet Farm in WWI and Milne Bay in WW2. The Australian Comforts Fund was also founded in August 1916. Did your ancestors have connections to these places or battles? Is there another anniversary or significant event that your family commemorates/remembers in August?<br />

Although we don't celebrate any military anniversaries in August in our family, I decided to commemorate the decision to join the army by one of my great-uncles Walter John NORTHCOTE in 1916. The thing that makes his decision to join the army a little bit different from many of his fellow military men is that he was 44 years of age when he joined. He was one of the oldest men in Australia to enlist during World War I.</div>

Walter was one of 420,000 Australians who enlisted during 1914-1918. This represented 38.7% of the male population of Australia; their ages ranged between 18 and 44.2.

Over the past few weeks, I've been researching the lives, times and deaths of two of my great-uncles, Henry Augustus NEWTON (born approximately 1861-1863, died in 1930) and his younger brother, Thomas NEWTON (born approximately 1864-1865 and died in 1926). Both men lived most of their lives in rural NSW in the towns of Orange, Wellington, Narromine, Trangie and Warialda. They also regularly travelled to Sydney in the early 1900s for medical treatment and to visit their mother and some of their seven half-brothers.<br />
<br />
In my research about the elder of the two brothers, Henry Augustus NEWTON, also known as Harry NEWTON, I found a very public account of his sickness, health, recovery, a recurrence of his sickness and, eventually, his death in a number of NSW newspapers. Below is an account of his illnesses during the past few years of his life.<br />
<br />
If I had to explain the one main aim of all of my family history research, it is to find out about my ancestors' characters - what makes them tick, their personalities, their likes and dislikes, as well as their faults and strengths. That's why I think the most touching part of the story below is the phrase where Harry is described as follows:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Although a great sufferer, Harry is always cheerful and apparently contented with his lot". (Source: <i>Narromine News and Trangie Advocate</i>, Friday 13 December 1929, page 4, via <b><a href="http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/" target="_blank">TROVE Newspapers</a></b>)</blockquote>
<br />
<br />
<hr />
By the late 1920s, Harry NEWTON was not a well man. He was living in <b><a href="http://www.trangie.net/" target="_blank">Trangie</a></b>, a town in NSW which is located about 500km north-west of Sydney. More specifically, he seemed to be working and living at a place called Bundemar, just outside of Trangie.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Friday 17 September 1926</h3>
The first reference I found to Harry's health in the newspapers was on page 8 of <i>The Dubbo Liberal and Macquarie Advocate </i>on Friday 17 September 1926. He was described as suffering from pneumonia and was spending some time in the Dubbo Hospital. It seems that he was living at Bundemar, between Trangie and Gilgandra.<br />

BACK IN HOSPITAL<br />The many friends of Mr. Harry Newton will regret to learn that he has again been compelled to seek medical attention and is now located in Dr. Maclean's private hospital. There is no doubt he is experiencing a very rough spin, it being well over twelve months since he underwent a serious operation. Since then he has been unable to do anything, the most of the time being spent in hospital. It is hoped that on this occasion his stay will be short and that under the skilful attention of Dr. Maclean he will recover normal health.</blockquote>

Sadly, it seems that Harry's health did not return to normal. A few weeks after Harry died in Sydney, his death was reported on Friday 6 June 1930, in the <i>Narromine News and Trangie Advocate</i>. Although he had actually died a couple of weeks before on 20 May 1930, he was reported to have died in Sydney a few days before.</div>

When I visited Ireland in 2012, I visited the town of Howth and took some pics of a few churches while I was there but was never sure until now which church they were married in. Luckily, I took a picture of the church where my great-great grandparents were married.<br />

This blogpost spans the two themes of Week 1 and Week 2 of the <a href="http://familytreefrog.blogspot.com.au/2016/07/national-family-history-month-blogging.html" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">National Family History Month Blogging Challenge</a>. The process of filling out the online census tonight, reminded me of my work as a casual census collector in WA in 1996.<br />
<br />
<b>Census records. </b>Week 1 - Sunday 7 August - 9 August is Census Night in Australia. What extraordinary things have you discovered about your ancestors in census records?<br />
<br />
<b>Working ancestors. </b>Week 2 - Sunday 14 August - Blogger Anne Young reminds us that 16 August 1891 was the date the Shearers' Strike Monument was dedicated. This week why don't you honour your working ancestors and the challenges they faced in their occupations.<br />

While filling out the details of the online census form tonight, I had a flashback to 1996 when I worked as a census collector in a rural area in Western Australia, not far from where I was living in the town of Wundowie, about 60km outside of Perth. I was working part-time as a primary teacher at the time and thought it would be interesting to put my hand up to do some census collecting work on the days when I wasn't teaching.<br />

It was another world back then. In 1996, jobs were advertised in newspapers and census forms were completed with pens and paper. I applied for a census collector job I saw advertised in the newspaper and was given the job of a casual census collector. My job was to drive around an area not too far from where I lived to drop off and pick up household census forms.<br />
<br />
In my trusty Mistubishi L300 van (looked a bit like the van below, minus the scary man), I trekked around the streets, backroads, farmroads and dirt tracks of Northam, Clackline, Spencers Brook and a few other towns I can't remember.<br />

From memory, the process was as follows:<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>Training</b>. The gang of census collectors involved in the census collection around the Northam area of Western Australia all met at Northam before our census work began for training.</li>
<li><b>Drop off</b> a census form to each household, no matter where they were: in a suburban type street or on a farm up a windy dirt track.</li>
<li><b>Arrange a time and date </b>with the householder, if they were home, to collect the census form.</li>
<li><b>Keep returning to the empty houses.</b> If there was no-one home, I had to keep going back to the house until I spoke to a person. In some cases, after going back a number of times, I would give up looking for anyone and peg the census form to the gate (usually a farm gate) or put it inside a letterbox, in a clear plastic bag, in the hope that someone would complete it before I returned. In most cases like this, the census form was still hanging on the fence when I returned.</li>
<li><b>Collect the forms.</b> Go back to each house, pick up the census form.</li>
<li><b>Collate and check.</b> At the end of the process, our collected forms were very carefully counted and checked (without reading the information in detail) and returned to the government officials who were supervising the collection process.</li>
<li><b>Debrief</b>. We met with other census collectors and census officials to discuss what went well and what needed to be improved, and we were asked to give suggestions for how census data could be collected in the future.</li>
</ol>
In 1996, the first page of the paper census form looked like this. The entire census form was 16 pages long. Talk about survey fatigue!<br />

See the <b><a href="http://unstats.un.org/unsd/demographic/sources/census/quest/AUS1996en.pdf" target="_blank">full sample of the 1996 census form</a></b>.<br />
<br />
<br />
At the time of my census collecting job, I was living on a farm, so I knew about the importance of closing farm gates. I didn't need any extra training in that side of the job. The main, lasting memory of my census collecting job was the vast, creative, challenging collection of farm gates that I had to open, close, open again and close again. For each gate I had to tackle, it meant I had to tackle it four times, each time I visited the household, as follows:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Get out of car, open gate.</li>
<li>Get in car, drive through gate.</li>
<li>Get out of car, close gate,</li>
<li>Drive away from the gate, up a track/ driveway/ road to the farmhouse. </li>
<li>Drop off or pick up the census form.</li>
<li>Drive towards the gate, get out of the car, open gate.</li>
<li>Get in car, drive through gate.</li>
<li>Get out of car, close gate.</li>
<li>Drive off</li>
</ul>
<div>
That was the process if there was one gate. Of course, the census collection process involved going back to a house at least twice (drop off the form, pick up the form). However, if there was more than one gate between the road and the farmhouse, the whole process above was repeated multiple times. This will give you a feeling of what it was like to be a rural census collector. Those city census collectors had it easy:)</div>
<br />
<br />
Some of the gates I had to master were like these ...<br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;">After my time as a census collector, I could open almost any gate that farm life threw at me. In addition to my memories of many, many, many gates, m</span>y other memories of my stint as a census collector were:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>The incredibly serious way in which personal data was treated by census officials and census collectors. It was almost considered in sacred terms. I was glad to learn this.</li>
<li>The confidential nature of our work. This was emphasised over and over again by the census officials.</li>
<li>The friendliness of people in general. I had a few hundred households to visit and most included very, very nice people to meet. There were some complaining, grumps too but these were fewer than the friendly folk.</li>
<li>At the debrief some of us younger census collectors suggested that future census collections could be done online (this was in the early days of the internet). I remember one census collector responding to this suggestion with an adamant, "<span style="font-size: x-large;">Never!</span>"</li>
</ul>

Based on the census records, I found out that one of my great-grandfathers, James KINGSBURY (1867-1945) had left home and was working as a Revit Assistant Boy by the time he was 14 years of age. He was born in the town of Ysceifiog, County Flint in Wales. This may not have been that extraordinary in James' day, but I can't imagine many 14 year olds, these days, going out on their own and earning their way while living in a boarding house. Maybe James didn't have a choice.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
1871 Census</h3>
He appears as a 3 year old scholar in the UK 1871 Census. living at Ffirth in the town of Ysceifiog in County Flint with his parents, George and Mary KINGSBURY, his 1 year old sister, Bessie, and his 15 year old uncle, Job KINGSBURY.<br />

For better or worse, I have taken on the challenge <a href="http://familytreefrog.blogspot.com.au/2016/07/national-family-history-month-blogging.html" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">National Family History Month Blogging Challenge</a>. Once I get started on this type of blog challenge, I enjoy it, but I'm glad there is a bit of a lead up time to prepare a few ideas for August, family history month.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkWjlsJy0fNjxKDMQvxUDSFJS1PJ809_Vq0mr4lwF_pxYYrJhlJqwJMcOgST82KUYD7IsNeZG6bzqGJ30dHsgqQaJaJNmstavQ0-1lIiLoS8prRBT4fNrRLmiyaAROv9LropvzhYC8pQB7/s1600/NFHM+Aug+2016.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkWjlsJy0fNjxKDMQvxUDSFJS1PJ809_Vq0mr4lwF_pxYYrJhlJqwJMcOgST82KUYD7IsNeZG6bzqGJ30dHsgqQaJaJNmstavQ0-1lIiLoS8prRBT4fNrRLmiyaAROv9LropvzhYC8pQB7/s400/NFHM+Aug+2016.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
The proposed themes for the weeks of August are:<br />
<br />
<b>Census records. </b>Week 1 - Sunday 7 August - 9 August is Census Night in Australia. What extraordinary things have you discovered about your ancestors in census records?<br />
<br />
<b>Working ancestors.</b> <br />
Week 2 - Sunday 14 August - Blogger Anne Young reminds us that 16 August 1891 was the date the Shearers' Strike Monument was dedicated. This week why don't you honour your working ancestors and the challenges they faced in their occupations.<br />
<br />
<b>Military battle, family anniversary or significant family event</b><br />
Week 3 - Sunday 21 August - Significant military battles are commemorated during the month of August such as Mouquet Farm in WWI and Milne Bay in WW2. The Australian Comforts Fund was also founded in August 1916. Did your ancestors have connections to these places or battles? Is there another anniversary or significant event that your family commemorates/remembers in August?<br />
<br />
<b>Country, place, landmarks.</b><br />
Week 4 - Sunday 28 August - Australian poet Dorothea Mackellar in her poem My Country talks of a "sunburnt country, a land of sweeping plains, of rugged mountain ranges, of droughts and flooding rains". What does "country" or place mean to your family? What makes your place unique or special? What are the features or landmarks that stand out in your family history?<br />
<br />
<br />
There's plenty of scope for a few family history posts, based on the weekly themes above.<br />

The more I think about this 15 minutes in my life, the more I think it's a wee bit mystical.<br />
<br />
Here's the story ... decide for yourself about the "mystical moment" bit.<br />
<br />
Once upon a time, a very curious genie (me) was asked by her thoughtful husband, "What would you like for Christmas?" She responded, "A DNA kit (or two), of course!" And so began the adventure back in December 2015. For Christmas last year, I was given two types of DNA tests:<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Autosomal DNA (atDNA) testing - goes back about 5 generations</li>
<li>Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) testing - mother's line (mother's mother's mother's mother, etc.)</li>
</ol>
After putting off the cheek-swab test for no particular reason at all, I finally swabbed both cheeks and sent of my saliva to somewhere in Texas to the Family Tree DNA company. Thanks to my fellow genies for their encouragement to take the step to get my DNA tested and for their information about the whole process. Special thanks to <b><a href="http://geniesdownunder.com.au/podcasts/ep_043_full.mp3" target="_blank">Ros Elcott for her interview</a></b> with me on my <b><a href="http://geniesdownunder.com.au/" target="_blank">Genies Down Under</a></b> podcast.<br />
<br />
Now, here are the mystical bits ... a few weeks back on the day before Mother's Day, we took my lovely Mum out for dinner. I was planning to tell Mum about the results of my mitochondrial DNA test over dinner. After all, my DNA is her DNA. However, the restaurant was too noisy, so I delayed telling her for the timebeing. After dinner we decided to find somewhere that sold ice cream or gelato. A quick search on Google found <b><a href="https://bellingengelato.com.au/locations/sydney/" target="_blank">Bellingen Gelato</a></b> at 688 Darling St, Rozelle, not that far from where we had dinner. So, this is where we ended up after dinner.<br />

The address of this place was significant. As we stood outside the gelato shop at 688 Darling St, Rozelle, Mum and I looked up at the little windows of the place just next door, at 692 Darling St and reminded each other how this was the place where her great-grandmother/ my great-great grandmother, Catherine CARRICK (nee HIGGINS), lived with her husband, Thomas CARRICK, back in the 1890s and early 1900s (see red circles below).<br />

The gelato shop was full; there wasn't a spare seat in the shop. So, we sat outside on a bench and I told Mum about my/her DNA results. It was serendipitous. I was sitting with my Mum, less than 200m from where her Mum was born, and just a few steps away from the places where my great-grandmother and my great-great grandmother lived, after they migrated to Australia from Tuam, County Galway in Ireland.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

As part of the Blogging A-Z Challenge in April 2016, I wanted to write this blog for my final Z blogpost but didn't feel brave enough to click the "Publish" button. Now, a few days later, I am taking the leap to publish this post because I do feel quite strongly about the idea of a family historian with zero kids.<br />
<br />
Sometimes people without kids, like me, worry about how their many years of family history research will be saved or thrown away.<br />
<br />
<br />
So, if you don't have kids but you are your family's archivist, or one of them, here is my ABCD of a few things you can do ...<br />
<br />

Today would have been my Dear Old Dad's 84th birthday. He died too young at the age of 70. Dad was an inspiration for my family history research and he started much of the research I am working on today.<br />

I was stumped for what to include in this final post for the <b><a href="http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/" target="_blank">A-Z Blogging Challenge</a></b>. So, I resorted to the Macquarie Concise Dictionary (1998, edited by A. Delbridge and J. Bernard) for some ideas. On the final page of z words, I found a definition for zzz which is described as "a conventional representation of sleep or the sound of snoring, used especially by cartoonists" (p. 1376).<br />
<br />
So, this is quirky ancestor story I have about Z, zzz and an old bed.<br />
<br />
Z is for zzzZZZzzz and letting sleeping beds lie.<br />
<br />
During the late 1890s and the early to mid 1900s, many of my maternal grandmother's family members lived in a few different houses on Renwick St in Drummoyne, a suburb of Sydney. The story goes that, when the family needed to do a bit of cleaning up, they decided to throw out a load of old furniture they no longer wanted, including an old iron bed. At the time, it must have been difficult to get rid of big household rubbish, like old bits of furniture.<br />

<br />
Instead of removing the rubbish from the premises and taking it to the local tip, they decided to bury it all instead, including an entire iron bed.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
So, if you live somewhere on Renwick Street, Drummoyne in Sydney, you may not have to dig too deep in the backyard to find an old iron bedhead<br />
