Hi, I would like to take a moment and introduce myself to the members of
this list. My name is Kay Vinson, nee CARDEN, and I am researching my

Hello Kay,
Re the death of EBENEZER JONES of Kincumber, who died on 28 September
1866 aged 66, a sawyer:
The following appeared in the Sydney Morning Herald issue of 12 March
1867:
"In September last an old man named JONES, a sawyer, was killed at
Kincumber by a log rolling over him. The bones of his head, across
from the forehead to the back, were completely fractured and driven
into the brain. Death must have been instantaneous".
They believed in giving all the gory details back then, didn't they?

Hello Alison,
Re your posting concerning members of the Briggs family.
There was a C H BRIGGS living at 51 Lake Avenue, Killarney Vale in
Wyong Shire listed in the 1971 Gosford telephone directory.
Also an I H Briggs living at Trelawney St, Killarney Vale.
Try the Probate Index for C H Briggs, seeing he was born in 1894. And
have you checked the current NSW Electoral Roll for younger members of
this family?
Not much help, but a little something.
Best wishes, Gwen
I am seeking descendants of James Harrison, a Magistrate and Coroner in Gosford during the 1840s and 1850s, who married Charlotte Coulson in 1840 at East Maitland and had the following surviving children:

Maud Jane Maria 22/8/1846
Sarah Ann 27/12/1850

Charlotte Harrison died at Booral on 24 January 1869 and James Harrison died at East Maitland in 1886. James is listed in Grevilles Directory in 1872 as being a teacher at Stroud.

Hi Everyone
I'm new to the list and searching for two limbs of the Briggs tree:
1. Charles Harry Briggs, born Tasmania in 1894, married Marjorie Trento Kauff and had one
daughter. They lived on the Central Coast up to the early 1970's.
2. Edward Briggs known as Ted, born c.1939, had/has a sister named Sarah or Sally born later.
They are the nephew and neice of Harry. Their parents were Edward who died in 1952 and
Phyllis.
If anyone has any tenuous connection to them I'd love
