Everest / Molyneaux |
Comments:
I am trying to fnd out more
about the Everest family who moved to the northern rivers of
NSW circa 1850 from Tasmania. My gg grandfather's name was
Thomas Everest. He died in 1901 and is buried in Tweed Heads
cemetary. I have determined that several of his sons are also
buried in the area, including Casino, so its seems that the
family was quite settled there. Thomas and Elizabeth had
several daughters; one of them being my great grandmother
Bella Everest. She married John Molyneaux and one of their
many children, Stella, was my grandmother.
I am especially interested to know more about the lives of the
Everests who moved to the northern rivers district of NSW,
including of course when they first arrived there and how they
lived.
I am also trying to detemine if Bella Everest met John
Molyneaux in that Clarence region. They were married in Sydney
in 1883. John was born in Tasmania around 1857. according to
his marriage certificate his father's name was Andrew and his
mother was Mary Wilmot.

Without this , I cannot get his correct history, as there are

Is there somewhere in Lawrence, where I can look at, perhaps

WINKLER and COLES |
Comments:
I have been researching the
Winkler family in Australia for about 10 years. We had a
reunion at the Grafton Show Ground in 1998, which marked the
140th anniversary of the family arriving in Australia. Karl
Winkler and his wife Frederica arrived in Sydney on the "Armin"
in November 1858.Their first child Caroline was born on the
ship around June of 1858. Sadly she died in January 1859 and
was buried in St. Ann's Church Yard at Ryde. They lived in
Hunter's Hill, Sydney for about 7 years, where they had 4 more
children Caroline 1859, Elizabeth 1860, Charles 1863 and John
1864. Somewhere between July 1864 and August 1866 the family
moved to Grafton. They settled at the Ramornie Meat Works,
where Karl was employed as a Gardener. They went on to have 3
more sons Phillip 1866, William 1869 and John 1873. (Sadly
they lost their first son John in 1867 from Whooping Cough.)
The 2 girls married Schumacher brothers and 3 of the brothers
married March/Marsh sisters and the other son William married
Mary Ann Coles, I am a decendant of this last couple.
Karl and Frederica are both buried in the Ramornie Pioneer
Cemetry at Ranornie.
The Coles family is another story.....William Coles was born
c1834/6 in England. I am not sure how he got to Australia the
only William Coles who could be a possibility is a William
Coles who deserted from the "Earl of Elgin" in 1854.
The jury is still out on this.
His wife Elizabeth Graham is another unknown... She was born
somewhere around 1840 posssibly in Sydney with a father named
William. This is the only information I have been able to find
about her. The only possiblity I can find is an Elizabeth
Graham born to William Graham and Mary Hanly in Maitland.
However there is no further mention of this child in any of
the that family's following certificates.
William and elizabeth were married in 1868 at Grafton Registry
office. They had 4 children Mary ann 1870, Harriett 1873, died
1876, Robert 1874, died 1875 and George 1879. Elizabeth was
burned to death when she fell into an open fire whilst in an
Epeliptic fit. Even though there was a coroners inquest into
this there is not a lot of personal information about
Elizabeth on her death certificate, does not even refer to
being married let alone children or parents etc.
If anyone is interested in this family or the twigs on the
tree please get in touch with me.
Good researching.

John Patrick known as 'Jack' McCarthy died in Grafton 1939 No:
21144/1939 and this is the history of his family as far as we
know. We would like to join forces with a researcher from his
family to combine resources.
ORIGINAL FAMILY HISTORY WE KNOW TO DATE
There were at least 3 children in the McCarthy family possibly
more as was usual in the day. Baptised Roman Catholic and
according to family legend unregistered. The order of the boys
birth is unknown. At least one born in the Parramatta area
John died in Armidale district had worked in the Hillgrove
area and his father is listed as John on his death
transcription. No: 7478/1918.
John had a number of children
.
Another brother known as Mick? is reported in Family legend to
have died in the Bulli Mining disaster of 1887. He may have
been using or have had another surname?
There is an entry for a John McCarthy on the Memorial of the
disaster but he is John and we already appear to have our
John.
Entries for 1887 show
John S father John S mother Mary A Sydney No: 1943/1887.
John 48 years died Ashfield. 2666/1887
John father Jeremiah mother Anne 9633/1887 this gent died
Wonoona and that is a fairly common entry for the disaster
notices.
Only one death notice is for a Michael in the registrations
and there is only one McCarthy name on the disaster memorial
???? No birth notice for this Michael registered.
1307/1887
MCCARTHY
MICHAEL
MARTIN
HONORA

GRAFTON JOHN 'UNCLE JACK' McCARTHY LINE
The last brother was Patrick Joseph Mccarthy who died
Bellingen 1942. He married a Mary Hopkinson and had a number
of children
Their son John Patrick known as 'Jack' died in Grafton 1939
No: 21144/1939
Trying to unravel this puzzle.
Would appreciate being able to eliminate some of this
information or contact some of the 'other family lines' who
may have the key.

COLIN McPHERSON DIED AT LISMORE.
Family of John McPherson.
They came out on the Midlothian in 1837 as part of the bounty
passenger scheme organised by Dunmore Lang.
They were natives of Kilmuir on the Isle of skye and
casualties of the clearances.
The family consisted of John, his wife Ann and their 2
children Sarah ( Flora? on some transcriptions) 3 years and
Malcolm 18months, known as Colin in Australia. ( Callum is I'm
told the diminutive for Malcolm on Skye? and if that is the
case it is easy to see how the name Colin was used here)
Colin is interred at Lismore 7745/1920.
Sarah is interred at 'Redbank cemetery' Taree With her husband
Richard Ainsworth
11400/1902
(Sarah and Richard named a son John McPherson Ainsworth and in
the 1940's he lived in the Newcastle area?
His death registration .8411/1954 Richard and Sarah Jane
Bondi.)
The ship arrived in Sydney in December 1837. Rations were
issued and the family went to Liverpool to work for a
gentleman by the name of Weston. John was a ploughman and
guardian to a:
Catharine McPhee aged 19 and her brother ? Edmond during the
voyage.
I am finding it very difficult to sort out which are my John
and Anne on the BDM's fo NSW. Can any of you help with an
elimination??
All help appreciated. :-) Alicia

| Surname: |
Garven |
Comments:
I am researching Reverend John
Hill Garven and his 3 wives and many children. Rev John Hill
was born in Scotland but settled on the Clarence River In
about 1834.
There is sugar cane named after the family - I think it is
called Black Garven.
I am particularly interested in one of his children from his
2nd wife, James Muir Garven, b. 1865, Illawarra.

I am looking for relatives of
Charleston in the Grafton area. My grandfather was Mervyn
Alexander who married Ellen Martin in the 1940's. He died in
1972. I am interested in Mervyn's family - I believe he had a
brother Alfred and two sisters Thelma and Dulcie. |

| Surname: |
Chapman |
Comments:
I am interested in finding any
decendants of John Edward Chapman. He married Mary Robertson
in 1848 and then Immigrated to Australia from London, England
around 1850-51.
John and Mary settled in Grafton where John became the first
Lord Mayor of the city in 1859. They had 8 maybe 9 nine
children. His children were
Isabel,Jane,John,Edward,Mary,Richard,William & Frances. I
also think they had another child that was deceased before
they immigrated.
My Grandfather William Chapman is a son of Richard Chapman.
I dont have alot of information about the Chapman family but
would be very interested to learn more. |
