Hello Wal.
This placename should probably be GREENWELL POINT.
We attended a reunion last weekend for many of us who used to live there.
Do you know if he lived at Greenwell Point, or if he might just have been
visiting?
Do you know what his trade or profession was?
There is a brief history of Greenwell Point, which was published in 1988 for
Australia's bi-centennial. Sadly, it does NOT have an index.

A man was drowned at Cathedral Rocks, at North Bombo, on Saturday

He was Clifford Alfred Brisbane (41) of 166 Windang Road, Primbee.
He and his brother John Roland Brisbane, also of Primbee, were on a
fishing excursion and went down onto the rocks to get some crabs for
fish bait.
John went around the rocks and when he returned about an hour later

Hi Mal,
I would be very interested in information about the activities of Thomas
O'Rourke, especially around Cooma and at Bolairo.
Have you checked Perkins Papers, if not get someone at the Cooma Historical
Society to do a look-up for you.
You are probably aware that 'Back to Cooma' has an article and photo of his
son David O'Rourke.

Does anyone know of this place name.
This appears on a birth certificate 1861 as place of birth.
It could be near Bungendore as the mother was married there a month later ( Oooo scandal ! )

Dear Julie and all,
Capt Robert Towns (1794- 1873) after whom Townsville was named had an estate
called Peterborough at Shellharbour near Wollongong. He made many voyages to
NSW from 1826. In 1833 in Sydney he married Sophia, the half-sister of W.C.
Wentworth. In 1843 he decided to settle in NSW. From Sydney he established a
trading and whaling empire around the world. In the 1840s he and Caroline
Chisholm recruited many free immigrants as tenatns for his Peterborough
estate. In the 1860s he took up vast in

I'm afraid you may be disappointed at this line of enquiry.
Captain Towns did not actually live in Shellharbour or on the Peterborough
Estate.
If you check further into the shipping records of the "Neptune" I believe
you will find a carpenter named George Knight and another builder called
William Dumbrell who were also engaged by Towns for a project in the
Wollongong area.
The purpose may have been for construction of what was known as the "Lake
House" or Peterborough House which was occupied by Towns
Can SKS please lookup the headstone information for:
Kevin E 'Ken' TORY possibly at Maclean Cemetery, Maclean, NSW
and
Calliope GABRIEL at the Northern Suburbs Crematorium, [Ryde?, Sydney], NSW
Kevin was born 1917 and died about 1997
Calliope's details are not known.

Hi Chris,
I am of the belief that the South Coast was renown for coastal boating
activites such as fishing, whaling and the sagas of Ben Boyd, who made, as I
understand it, many, many trips up and down the coast of NSW - but was
primarily based in Eden.
Tilba just north of Cobargo is renown for farming and cheese making and some
gold mining.
The area was settled in the late 1820s when a number of graziers moved stock
into the district. By the 1830s the Imlay brothers had substantial holdings.

Dear Listers
I am new to the List and need help. I am writing the story of my
g.grandfather, John Nadin, who settled in Candelo in 1855. His family
married into the Darragh family who also had settled there. However, most
of their children and their families moved to the Richmond River Distrist
at the end of the 18th centuary and early in the nineteenth. Can any one
help with details of the drought years that forced them to leave. Also, the
typhoid that swept throught the area in the 1890's ??

Hi Listers,
This is my first posting, I have been watching for a few weeks.I am researching my Jennings line from Truro, Cornwall. I don't have alot yet, but I do know that Simon and Selina arrived in Sydney in 1859.

Thanks Ray - I suspect the aunt was the key to the mystery. I purchased the
transcript sometime ago but unfortunately it did not throw any light my way.
I had wondered if employment may have suddenly surged in the area c 1882 but
it appears not.

(South of Nowra)
I am putting this offer to all that might be interested.....
I am willing to take Pictures of Cemetery Headstones etc etc
for anyone that does not live in the area............. But know of the
location at a certain Cemetery......
I have a digital camera that I will take these with..... and will be
able to do these photos when time permits and I am in that area.
To anyone that does email me..... I will respond
You're right Lorraine, I am disappointed, just when I thought I was on a
roll! Never mind. However, I do have a few avenues to explore thanks to all
those on the list who replied.
I do have another question someone may be able to answer. I found
information which states that in 1837 the Captain brought out 14 Scottish
families. Does anyone know the names of these families or the ship they came
out on?
Regards
Julie
Your Captain Towns could be the one that Townsville is named after and he is
likely to be in the Australian Dictionary of Biography. Probably is you
search on "Google" you'll find him too.

FATAL BLASTING ACCIDENT
A terrible accident took place at the Bombo Quarries, Kiama, on Monday. It appears that two men were charging a hole 20ft. deep in a column of basaltic rock some 60ft. in height. While ramming home the charge it suddenly exploded, bringing down a huge mass of rock, which in its descent killed a man named John HUGHES
