- FREE RESEARCH IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA -- Heather Hobbis, 18:16:28 09/26/04 Sun (NoHost/61.68.40.170)
Hello All,
I'm in South Australia and for about 7 years now I have been doing free research for anyone who wants information about ancestors who came here around the 1800's.
Please feel free to contact me at my home email address if there is something I can do for you. I try to get to the library one day a week.
It would help if you could provide details such as person's Christian name/s, surname, family names, anything else you can think of.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards
Heather

Greetings,
If you are looking for information, this is the one place that helped me with a lot of my research. They have great books, but what I like about them is the FREE CD-ROM pdf eBook of the same book that you order, the CD-ROM is searchable which was very helpful.
They have over 20,000 titles of over 17,000 surnames to choose from.
I just think that it is worth mentioning and that researchers should take advantage of it

I search the Australia branch of my COHEN family. They originated in Russian Lithuania and family lore has it that a portion emigrated to Australia ca 1880-1930. Father would be Abraham Isaac COHEN, with mother possibly Bella (KRIZANSKI). Best items to set these COHENs apart from others with the same relatively common name is their South Africa branch, Sam COHEN (son of Louis COHEN), who founded OK Bazaars stores, and the London branch, Mark BANUS (mother Rose is a COHEN), a renowned accountant there. Other members of this family emigrated to Montreal, Canada, and many live in the U.S. and I am in touch with them. Others were said to have been lost in the Holocaust.

Mary born Inniskillen,County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland about 1837 (from her death certificate). Have seen her name spelt all different ways including Malkehoney, McHanly.
Mary started off in Victoria somehow, she had a partner James Kennedy born in England. Mary and James had a few kids in Vic: Alice, Francis, James, ?male, then in NSW had William, Charles, ?female.(2 unknowns died fairly young)
James Jnr Kennedy mar Annie Hewitt in Dubbo
William Kennedy mar Elizabeth Garnsey near Dubbo
Charles Kennedy mar Sarah Garnsey in Dubbo
Mary was later with a John McLeish ?married, and she died as Mary McLeish 1900 Narromine NSW.
I haven't found any Victorian history yet on either Mary or James or how and when they came to Australia/Vic.
Nothing on their daughter Alice Kennedy either,born about 1857 Victoria, moved to NSW with family.
Their second child Francis born abt 1860 Vic. maybe him that married Hannah Varty in Dubbo NSW 1889.

I have been researching the Starr families in Australia for the past 30 years and in doing so have amassed quite a lot of information. The main family I am at present researching came from East Sussex. There were 5 male members from this particular family who arrived in NSW and settled. These were:
THOMAS STARR and his wife LYDIA MUDDLE - arrived 1838
THOMAS STARR and his wife HANNAH HEAD - arrived 1841
WILLIAM STARR and his wife SOPHIA GIBBS - arrived 1839
WILLIAM STARR and his wife ELIZABETH ARNOLD - arrived 1839
JONATHAN STARR and his wife ANN SMITH - arrived 1838
Of course there are many families who have inter-married into the Starrs, so if you feel you have a connected to them, please make contact with me and we may be able to share information and help each other.
Among some of the inter-married names are - FORD; FRANCIS; NAPPER; SOUTHWELL; DARE; CATT; GRAY; MONTGOMERY; ARCHBALD; TURNER; FARDON.
One family settled in the Camden area; another down towards the Canberra region; another went to the Hunter River and from there to the Grafton area; there was another branch who seemed to be around Bourke and the far western areas of NSW.
Please do make contact.
Sincerely,
Min

area. He was adopted by the Dean family but chose to use the name of Marsden. On his marriage certificate he listed his father as Jon Laurence Marsden. I have seen one instance of his middle name listed as Marzol. I was curious to know where this came from? Was this his mother's maiden name?

- CROTTY FAMILY HISTORY -- Kevin Woods, 12:05:48 02/03/09 Tue (c58-107-136-18.rivrw8.nsw.optusnet.com.au/58.107.136.18)
Thomas Crotty was born 4 Dec 1842, Maitland, NSW. He married Mary Ann Jane Bratten born 31 May 1847. During 1880 Thomas Crotty moved to the Hallsville area in those days Moore Creek, lower end near Attunga. In 1880 Thomas Crotty built Crotty's Hotel and it still stands today. It was taken over in 1897. He moved to Uralla in about 1886. He died at Uralla 14 Oct 1914 and his obituary was published in the Uralla Times: "Death of Thomas Crotty. One of Uralla's best known and most respected residents passed over the Great Divide at a few minutes past nine o'clock on Wednesday morning last in the person of Thomas Crotty. Born at Maitland in 1843 he had passed the allotted span of three score years and ten by a little over a year. About 50 years ago the late Mr. Crotty married and his life partner passed away to rest in the old cemetery. Of the union there were six sons and four daughters. The daughters are Mrs Russ of Tamworth; Mrs A Gillis of Sydney; Mrs V. McNamarra of Cobar. The sons are Thomas of Queensland, whose exact whereabouts are just not known; Arthur of Tingha; Walter and William of Uralla; Ernest of Leura. The second son and second daughter passed away and were buried in the cemetery at Broome in the North West of Western Australia. A particular feature in connection with the deaths is that both were returning home (though a five years interval divided the trips) when death claimed them in the same district. In his young days, Mr. Crotty was engaged as a teamster between Newcastle and Inverell and passed through Uralla when there was but one house in it and helped to deliver the first telegraph wire on its northern line. Later he left the roads and followed farming at Somerton and later took the Somerton Hotel. He left the Hotel to go farming again at Moore Creek and from Moore Creek moved to Uralla about 28 years ago taking over the old Bellevue Hotel which he kept for about eight years and from then onwards chiefly followed mining pursuits, and up to the last had great faith in the Kingscott mines. He was an excellent raconteur, and frequently said he spun tops with the late Mr. Edmond Lonsdale before they were old enough to go to school and that he believed that he knew the member for the District longer than any man living in the electorate. He also remembered the wreck of the Dunbar well.....He looked forward to his last journey with the quiet confidence of a man who had lived a good life and had nothing to fear." Family tradition records that when he was near death he said good-bye to each in turn, then collectively, "Well goodbye all" Then he suddenly sat upright and looking towards the end of the bed said loudly, "I'm coming, my girl. I'm coming" laid back on his pillow, closed his eyes and was gone. He once had an encounter with the bushranger "Thunderbolt". He "stuck them up" when they were travelling from Tamworth to Uralla and demanded any money and valuables. He searched Tom Crotty but forebore to touch his wife saying "I never molest women". Thunderbolt is now interred in the Uralla cemetery.

Trying desperately to find info on my great-aunt Rubina Eleanor Sharp, born Port Melbourne, 12/12/1889. Reg. 4580.to Robert Sharp, Shetland, and Rosina Grace Gallagher, Donegal.
Rubina (Ruby) married a Charles Joseph Lopes/Lopps in 1912, Aug. 12th at Redfern, methodist parsonage. I cannot find any death details for her anywhere in Aust. Her husband is buried in Rookwood Cemetary. He died young, and so she may have re-married, although I can find no records to support this. I have checked with Rookwood, and they say she is not listed as being buried there.
Her parents lived initially in Melbourne South, her father being a merchant sea'man. Her mother later moved to Port Adelaide, South Australia., when her marriage to Robert ended.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Pam Eustice

I recently found my birth family in Ireland. I'm trying to locate my maternal grandmother's three sisters who all emigrated to Australia. Their names are Margaret, Agnes, and Emily Tobin. Emily came as Emily Walsh and her husband was James Walsh. Emily and James came into Victoria in 1913. Agnes came in 1915. Margaret came in 1911. Margaret later served as a British Army Nurse in Cairo, Mudros, and England during WWI. I believe she may have returned to Australia after the war. They were all from Co. Cork and all three may have been nurses. I have no information about any descendants or where they later settled in Australia, only that they came into Victoria. I'm grateful for any help.
