1. [ANS] Looking for my missing TENNANT [1]
Hello everyone, I am new to this list and hoping that someone will be able to help me with a brick wall I've been struggling with for a long time. Looking through the Archives it seems that there are a few people out there who have been looking through asylum records and I thought that one of you might be able to offer some advice... My GG Grandfather, William Malan Mayer TENNANT disappears from the Qld Electoral roll in 1880 and I cannot find any more information about him until 1906 when he sent his son
2. [ANS] re frozen meat [1]
continuation of article 1875 About five years ago it was then believed that the experiments on land were so far conclusive as to justify them sending off to Great Britain a cargo of frozen fresh meat, consisting of beef and mutton. The "cold" was brought about by what is called the ammoniacal process, but just when all was ready to put the matter to a fair test a sea it was found that, however much the system was to be controlled on land, there was a great risk to be apprehended at sea. Mr Mort with that
3. Re: Re:[ANS] A Sentimental Journey [1]
Lesley, Yes, Sydney has a great history from the early 1900s to the 1950s, it was if time stood still over the first 50 years of that new century, though that is not true really, as technology was working in the background all the time. I think it was the two World Wars that revolutionised our way of life and we really did not feel the changes until the mid to late1950s. I hope someone out there can help you discover your Uncle George and his story and it is a shame that your grandfather was such a privat

Marg and Listers, ........continued.......... If you decided that you wished to visit the surfing beach, your crossed over from the Wharf to Hay's Corner, if you looked to your right you could see the wonderful old theatre, the Embassy. Once you reached Hay's corner you then made your way up The Corso. In those days The Corso was not closed off as a mall as it is today, traffic travelled up and down The Corso from the wharf to the beach. Crossing over at Darley Road you passed St. Matthews Church of En
6. [ANS] items from a sydney newspaper 1834 [1]
>From the Sydney Times Although much has been said respecting furious riding and driving in the streets of Sydney by the several Colonial Newspapers, the practice is shamefully persisted in. On Saturday afternoon as a old man was crossing the corner of King and George Streets, he was driven over by Major Mitchells carriage the wheels passing over his legs and lacerating them in a dreadful manner; the spot on which he was lying after the accident was completely saturated with blood. The coachman appeared

It has to be some where near Johnston and Annandale Sts on the northern side of the road. If there is still a school on the opposite side of the road near Camperdown Park, it's just west of that.

10. Re: [ANS] Old Hotels and the Ball season in the '50s [1]
Things may have changed but not that much. Tonight I took my daughter to the dress rehearsal for the Nutcracker. When I was a child the Christmas ballet was a custom. It was the start of Christmas. My daughter first went to the Nutcracker when she was three, and slept through the second half! Now many 'dress-up dressses' later she will be going in all black as she will be in the Pit singing. I can't tell you how wonderful it is to see her excited about be really part of the performance. Afterwards we will

The sign reading WARDEN could possibly have been the Warden's Post in whatever suburb the photo was taken. My father was an Air Raid Warden in WW2 - and used to go off to the Warden's Post when he was on duty - we lived in Waverley - The shells from the Japanese submarine passed over our suburb and at least one landed in Cooper's Park .

18. [ANS] A Sentimental Journey - Summary [1]
Marg and Lister, Summary and update on "A Sentimental Journey" a letter from Marie Johansen (circa 1950s). In the years covered by this letter, Annandale was no longer a quiet village for the colonial rich to retire to their country estates or or out of town residences, (e.g. Annandale House, owned by the Johnston family), as from the early 1900s it was a working man's suburb, many of the substantial houses broken up into flats. Not unlike, the once fashionable Surry Hills, as portrayed in the books 'Harp
19. Re: [ANS] frozen foods [1]
Hi, Just as a rough guide of course :- The first successful shipment of refrigerated [sic] meat from New Zealand to London was in 1882. The trip took 98 days. I believe that the first refigerated shipment of dairy product (butter) was about the same time. A couple of differences from your thread though. 1. The article I found this in says refrigerated [sic], and does not say frozen. 2. The article was published in and was about New Zealand, not Australia. cheers Graham Dixon (Auckland, New Zealand) ==
