Hi to all the Lister looking for information on the Eden Monaro. I had
great success in looking up at the State Library Sydney "The Perkins Papers"
which were compiled by the local parli
amentarian for Monaro - there are 3 volumes depending on the years you
need, . Perkins typed all the information gleaned from local newspapers
journals etc whilst he was in Parliament, on parliamentary paper. I found
the coronial inquiry into my g.g.g. grandmother at Wolumla ( she fell out of
a spring cart) that my grandfather was a good runner and won the races for
100 and 200 yards at the Birthday celebrations , presumably Queen Victoria.
Also my gguncle had the l
licence for the Australian Arms Hotel, Cooma and that he was coroner in
Cooma in 1869.
It is time consuming to go through all the papers but if you know the
years and or the occupation of your rellies it can be very worthwile, and
you can also have copies made of the relative information

Good hunting Judith PS I have just found a small booklet
called The History of the Parish, Berridale which gives the history of the
churches and their ministers. It also gives you a list of the parishioners
that have made donations for various items need in the parish. For example
the cost of stonework at the church of St. Mary the Virgin at Jejedzrick
paid by Mr. Richard Brookes was 54pounds 17 shillings and 6d. 21st May
1849. This is a very old publication and doubt whether many libraries have
it . Maybe some of the Historical socities might have copies of it in the
Eden Monero area. JK
