How many of you have researched the wrong family/ies ?
Come on fez up ! .............. I've only had one major
blunder a few years ago when doing SILS family on a
shoestring budget . I failed to buy what turned out to be
a major marriage certificate and that sent me off on
gathering alot of info and photos of heads stones etc on
a completely unrelated family . Some time went by
before I discovered my error/s . His gt grannie was a Maud
Matilda BUT the one in the BMD indexes at around the right

There was gold mining in the Maitland area. We are in the process of
indexing the Auriferous Leases (gold bearing lands) for NSW and we have come
across some for the Maitland area.

Hello Peter and all
Maybe it could be Mount Vincent, but it does say St Vincents. I have looked
up the Lands Department's new website and they are processing old Parish
Maps. There is a County of St Vincent, but the map has not been processed
as yet. I checked Parish of St Vincents in 'Google' and came up with Parish
of St Vincent's, Ashfield, but this was established 58 years after the
marriage in 1836. I checked County of St Vincent in 'Google' and came up
with the Jervis Bay area of New South
I have the following surnames that 'started' in the New England area,
particularly focused around Walcha and environs and in the late 1800s into
the early 1900s. More recent generations are known to be on the coast and
down into the Hunter Valley and as further south to Sydney and beyond.
Hoping there are some connections on this list today.

Hello Robyn.
Here are some thoughts in response to your questions.
Many, many years ago, when I first started researching, I was using the
Sands Directories. In one of them, either in the 1840s or 1850s (I don't
know why 1852 comes to mind); somewhere near the front, there were some
words about Maitland, and it said that it was THE LARGEST TOWN outside of
Sydney -- at that time.
Accordingly, it may be that your fellow moved there for that reason.
But of course, one could then ask, "then why was it
Well, actually yes.
There was gold discovered in Bishops Bridge at perhaps that time and one
mine was sunk but it was never viable commercially. Interestingly it was
discovered first as flecks in the crop of a goose that had been killed for
dinner!
There was, however a large sandstone quarry nearby, called Ravensfield.
What was the occupation of your relative (as per the marriage certificate,
perhaps)? Bishops Bridge had hotels, a wine shop, a school, a church, a blacksmith
and a cemetery.
Also in 1852
Hi ,
On a death certificate I have under cause of death it lists
injuries caused by a fall from a horse as certified by the police magistrate
holding the enquiry .This would have been in Maitland or possibly Wollombi
august 1860.place of death is listed as Millfield near Wollombi.
Where can I look to find out if there are any available records
of this incident . The person who died was Thomas Booth from wollombi .
Thanks

Hi
Last year I found a reference to a probate packet for my 2 x great
grandfather Andrew MOORE. Armed with the appropriate reference number from
the Probate Index, I visited State Records at Kingswood and was sadly told
that the particular Probate Packet in question no longer existed. There was
a Deceased Estate File which showed that he died owning a considerable
amount of land in the Inverell area. Could someone tell me where I could
look for a copy of the Will? Would I find it in the Will Books? Do I

Could SKS find a birth record for the above lady please? All I know is she was born before 1917, and I am guessing it was in NSW as she married in Clarence Town in 1933.

Hello Dianne.
Here are a couple of thoughts which might assist you.
First: The Probate Division of the Supreme Court used to write out
handwritten TRANSCRIPTS (with all of the mistakes which occur in this
process) into large A3-sized books, of each Will which they held on file.
When I started genealogy almost 40 years ago, anyone could access these at
the Probate Office in Sydney. At a later stage they withdrew them from
public availability. Now that the Probate Office has sent its older Probate

St. Vincent and the Grenadines are located in the south Eastern Caribbean
about 90 miles west of Barbados - the likely place that you would disembark
then continue your flight to St. Vincent. The Grenadines are some 32 islands

Hello Marg and List.
Luckily we had not proceeded too far down the wrong track on one of our
lines, before a maiden aunt pulled us up short. (This is not a Hunter
Valley family; but the incident might be instructive nevertheless.)
My wife is English and we were very carefully researching her father's
mother, who is said to have been orphaned at a very young age. Her maiden
name was Ellen Sophia HEATH. We went to London and stayed with a maiden
aunt who was the eldest daughter in the family, who gav
