I am researching the family history of the BAGUST and KNIGHT families and other associated families including the STUBBINS,WILLOUGHBY and BEAZLEY families.
George and Emma Bagust and their family lived in the Braidwood/Araluen/Majors Creek area in the 1850s' 1860's and 1870's. Similarly members of the Knight family. Members of the Bagust family married into the Knight/Stubbins/Willoughby and Beazley families.
I am interested in the early history of any of these families and would like to make contact with
Cindy
Thank you for posting that extract from the SCT published 8 days after
my birth, though not in Corrimal, I arrived here with my family in 1929.
Members of the DUFFY family still abound in the region, there was a WALL
teaching at Corrimal High school when my children were attending that
school, there is a GILBERT Street in Corrimal though whether it is named
for the gentleman you mention I'm not sure, BUXTONs are still around,

Hi Ray and all,
Is that the location for Eliza SCANTLEBURY ?
Sorry, I should have been more specific ....
I was more wondering about the 'location' for 'my' Margaret SCANTLEBURY, and
her daughter Margaret E. who both
died in 1864, at Araluen/Braidwood. It looks like she has no
headstone, but I was wondering whether I may be able to
find the 'location' of where she was buried.
It may be an unmarked grave :( ... I don't really know ?
Cheers,
Diane

Hi Dianne,
Your best contact in the area would be the Research of the Braidwood &
District Historical Society:
history@braidwood.net.au
A check of the Braidwood Monumental Inscriptions reveals the following
headstone.
SCANTLEBURY Eliza, died 1 Feb 1861 aged 35 years, wife of Frederick.

Hi everyone,
Many thanks to Marg, Ray, Penny and Bill in regards to my
SCANTLEBURY query. Eliza was Frederick's former wife,
then he married 'my' Margaret, and when she died he married
another lady ! Three wives in less than five years, he must
have been a busy man :) ... or else it was a conspiracy theory !
I was somewhat hoping that Margaret (and her child to Frederick)
may have had a headstone (Eliza did ... not fair !!) so it would give
me an excuse to drive on down from Sydney to take some photos.
Hello Marie
My Great Great Aunt, Martha P. Evans married John Joseph KISS in 1870 in Eden.
My research found that John Joseph was the youngest son of William and
Elizabeth Kiss - and the younger brother of your David Kiss.
I don't have a lot of information on the Kiss family - only what I could find
on the NSW BDM.
My maternal great grandmother, Elizabeth Margaret Evans was living with John
and Martha Kiss when she met and married my great grandfather, Albert
Bottomley.
The EVANS family were from

A PIONEER GOES HOME
A member of the early pioneers of the Snowy Mountains region will be going home to be buried with her forefathers when the late Joan Hope Ferguson of Bowral is laid to rest at Pioneers Church, Christ Church, Cooma on Friday. Mrs Ferguson, who died at hospital on Saturday in her eighties, had lived in this district for over 30 years, first at Hilltop and later in Burradoo, where she ran the Moongate Tea Rooms for many years and made many friends.
Hi all,
My current research interest in the Braidwood area is :
SCANTLEBURY, Margaret, d. at Braidwood, 1864.
SCANTLEBURY, Frederick Edward, a goldminer from the
Araluen area.
Does anyone know what cemeteries were in use in the
Braidwood/Araluen areas c. 1864 ? and what would be the
best historical/family history society to contact for either of
these two areas ?
Any assistance appreciated :)
Regards,
Diane

31 January 1839".............p. 28 "In march 1839, he excerised his

Thankyou to all who have helped me with this place. Hopefully I will find
the history of the homestead will contain clues about my McPhersons. I
certainly have enough basic facts to send a sensible research request to the

Hello to all listers, My ancestors were spread liberally around this district in the early 1800s and I would dearly love to meet up with any descendants of the KISS family. My earliest is James Kiss who arrived on the Ganges to Port Jackson in 1797 with a life sentence for stealing someone's hat in Birmingham, Warwickshire England. His son, William Kiss, born in the colony and married Elizabeth Kennedy, were my great great grandparents. I come from their son, David Kiss married to Jane Tindall, who were m
Would SKS please be able to tell me where I might locate a newspaper that

Hi Cindy and List,
Thank you Cindy for the wonderful transcriptions you have made and posted to this List.
None of the fellows referenced "belong" to me. However, the sentiment expressed by their "at home" loving families, say so much.
Thank you Cindy for sharing these great "snips". Many of us have "fellows" lost at that time from the District. Your contribution to List is appreciated!

I am new to this list so thought I would post an initial enquiry.
I am wishing to research my family tree in Nowra, but am drawing a blank
on the NSW BDM.
If a fellow party maybe able to assist I would appreciate your advice on
how I may be able to proceed.
I do know the tree relatively well back several generations.

Hi again Diane,
The book on Monumental Inscriptions gives the location of the grave.
To the left of the 'eastern' gate there is a narrow pathway. If you follow
this pathway south to the end, it will be the last headstone on the right.
As for Araluen, I did visit there to-day as part of my Returning Officer
duties for to-morrow's by-election and Bill be envious to know I did have a
couple of beers - to add to the many prior ones.
