An enquiry, which I answered, was in connection with the possible existence
of a booklet relating to Pt Frederick Cemetery at Gosford. I replied that
yes, there was a booklet given out at the time of the cemetery's conversion
to Pioneer Park. The opening of the Park was on 26 Feb, 1977 and I attended
the event.
Unfortunately I overlooked William Booth's name when checking out the
booklet and must apologise to the enquirer.
William Booth IS shown in the booklet as buried at Pt Frederick on 26

Maybe not strictly Genealogical but it does concern us.
Recently got my Bankcard renewal notice (Commonwealth) and noticed a subtle
reminder that the annual fee was now due.
And it had jumped from $22 to $45.
Being in one of the lucky areas with our OWN Community Bank (Bendigo) I now
have a Visa Card from them.
Charge?
Nothing.
Well they do say shop around.

Here's one fence sitter who got the message. I agree that if we don't join

Hello Pam,
Dear Pam,
The names you have mentioned are all among the early settlers of the Central
Coast, especially in the Wyong district and beyond. I believe the Fernance
family tree was done some years ago and possibly printed.
Records show that Esther Jane Fernance born 1879, daughter of Thomas Charles
Fernance and Jane [Thompson] married Thomas Beaven 9.10.1899. She was
sister to Joseph 1873, Charles Thomas 1878 (m. Maud Mary Beaven 1901) and
perhaps others.
Thomas Beaven was the son of William an
May I just add a reference to my previous message re "Holden's Crossing"
mentioned in relation to railway works in the 1880s at Gosford?
The article in the "Maitland Mercury" (27 Sept 1883) about early
construction included a statement re "the intended railway bridge, across
from HOLDEN'S POINT to the southern end of Flat Rock Hill at the NW corner
of the broadwater of Gosford". This referred to the railway bridge over the
mouth of Narara Creek, the crossing being from Point Clare to the vicinity

You are quite correct Frank,
Checked with my CBA and was assured this extra charge could be cancelled by
withdrawing from the True Awards scheme. It would now appear that the free
offer of getting points for using your card is going to cost you $23.....
you can go to your bank and they will give you a refund if you cancel the
