Before Messrs. Davies, Hollick and Wilson, J's.P. LICENSING PROSECUTION</p><p>Sub-inspector Irvine charged Alice Mogan, of the Cross Keys Hotel, North Essendon, with having the bar door open on Sunday. </p><p>Mr McFarlane appeared for defendant, who he said was too unwell to attend. He produced a doctor's certificate and pleaded not guilty. </p><p>Sub-inspector Irvine, who prosecuted, said he would like an adjournment unless Mr McFarlane would plead guilt as he did not like ex parte cases. </p><p>The bench decided to go on. </p><p>Senior-constable Hickey of Collingwood,-gave evidence, on Sunday, 4th inst. he visited defendant's hotel, at North Essendon, at 10 30 a.m., and saw the bar door open and five glasses on the counter. Subsequently at 12.30 he called again, and found the same door open and two extra glasses and a syphon on the counter. The licensee's: daughter was in the parlour with a man from Essendon. </p><p>To Mr. McFarlane: On his first visit he went all round the rooms. Went to the north end of the house to a bedroom behind the bar, and found Mrs. Morgan with her daughter. Went through the bedroom to a door leading to the bar, which was open. It was secured by a small bolt. He could not say Sunday trading was carried on through Mrs. Morgan's bedroom, but it might have been through another door. </p><p>To Sub-inspector Irviue: The licensee's daughter could have carried drinks through Mrs. Morgan's bedroom to another room. </p><p>Re-examined by Mr. McFarlane: There were no signs of Sunday tradings in the parlours. Constable Roxby, who was with Sergeant Hickey on the date named, corroborated. </p><p>To Mr. McFarlane: Last witness did not insist upon going through the bedroom. The senior-constable remarked he was being delayed. </p><p>To Sub Inspector Irvine: They did not know there was a sick lady in the bedroom in question, which had been a bar parlour. </p><p>For the defence Mr. McFarlane said he would prove the room had been used as a bedroom for the past two years. The offence was only a technical one, as the bar door, which was not used as such was only secured with a bolt instead of a lock, as provided by the Act. </p><p>Agnes Morgan gave evidence she was daughter of defendant. On Sunday, 4th, the two constables came at 10.30 by the front door, where a girl admitted them and they knocked at her mother's door, who was dressing at the time. They camc in and went to the bar door leading from the bedroom, which had a button on it, and opened the door going into the bar. There were some glasses on the counter but they had been used the previous night. There had been no Sunday trading that day. </p><p>To Sub-inspector Irvine: The beer glasses were there from Saturday night. The bottle of gin, which was not there on the first occasion, and the two empty glasses and syphon on she could not say for what time they were there. </p><p>Mary Daly, an emloyé of the defendant, admitted the constables and told them the licensee was ill in bed. The had previously tried the bar door, which was locked. They then went to Mrs. Morgan's bedroom and opened the door going through. When they came the second time the bar door was fastened with a lock. The door had fallen, therefore from the outside it appeared to be open. </p><p>To Sub-Inspector Irvine: The door was locked on the second occation the police came. She locked it herself, and had the key in her pocket. Mr McFarlane said the offence was merely a technical one, and after hearing the evidence he hoped the bench, if they did fine, would recommend a remission of the penalty. </p><p>A fine of £5 was imposed, with 7s. 10d. costs.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">**************</span></p><p style="text-align: center;">Two months later on 30th of April 1900, <a href="https://morganandkellyfamilyhistories.weebly.com/agnes-margaret-morgan.html" target="_blank">Agnes Morgan</a>, youngest daughter of Alice Morgan, the Licensee, died at the Hotel.

It seemed he had disappeared from the face of the earth but perseverance pays off and eventually he was found.</p><p>You can read my first blog post (later updated) about David at <a href="https://ancestorchaser.blogspot.com/2012/11/what-happened-to-david-adams.html">https://ancestorchaser.blogspot.com/2012/11/what-happened-to-david-adams.html</a></p><p>Then I thought I had found him and wrote about the find at <a href="https://ancestorchaser.blogspot.com/2017/06/david-adams-breakthrough-i-hope.html">https://ancestorchaser.blogspot.com/2017/06/david-adams-breakthrough-i-hope.html</a></p><p>But no such luck - <a href="https://ancestorchaser.blogspot.com/2017/06/david-adams-back-to-drawing-board.html">https://ancestorchaser.blogspot.com/2017/06/david-adams-back-to-drawing-board.html</a></p><p>Finally, after years of searching, Bingo! <a href="https://ancestorchaser.blogspot.com/2018/04/mysterious-david-adams-found.html">https://ancestorchaser.blogspot.com/2018/04/mysterious-david-adams-found.html</a></p><p>Loris had read my blog posts.</p><p>At the end of 1886, a David Adams of the same age was arrested along with several friends for accosting a woman. The woman's husband turned out to be "less than savoury" and labelled as a "professional sundowner" with previous convictions for creating similar offences so the lads were released. Perhaps this frightened young David and he moved North to Sydney where his older brother, Edward was living in 1887-8. Their brother John also moved up to Sydney around that same time.</p><p>Loris's great-grandmother was Eleanor (Elen) Turpin born on the 29th of September 1871 at Dipton, Collierley, Durham, England.</p><p>Eleanor arrived in Queensland in November 1883, at the age of 12 with her parents William Turpin and Elizabeth nee Carr.</p><p>Eleanor had a daughter, Loris's grandmother, May Cecilia Turpin.</p><p>May was born on the 19th of May 1888 at Adamstown in New South Wales. May's father was James Dwyer (confirmed by DNA) who was six years older than Eleanor.</p><p>Loris said "I don't know if religious differences could have been a reason James and Eleanor did not marry although Eleanor was probably only 15 when she became pregnant and 16 when May was born. May lived with her father but I do not know if that was before or after her mother's death."</p><p>Eleanor Turpin married David Adams on the 23rd of September 1899 in Sydney and their marriage certificate gives David's birthplace as Hotham, Victoria, occupation - stonemason, age - 33, father - George Adams, mother - Catherine Barry so he appears to be the correct David.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_E7dvky7NsvENp0IQyy336JfVVoH6Ow67Wjx4UurJhqtRHGkUvqIs9fb3F02BDumsdx5oAtknWCE3u166tcHAz2VndawPuYOF_xSdTp40K4sVrhbFqGWnYYLf6xDB7dR2w0URyYqHfDQD43OYuN-vKc7lsVetOQgBPTfdokcYzfM2al15aAqS3ePa/s951/Eleanor%20Turpin%20and%20David%20Adams%20marriage%20cert%20from%20Loris%20Cupples.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="951" data-original-width="684" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_E7dvky7NsvENp0IQyy336JfVVoH6Ow67Wjx4UurJhqtRHGkUvqIs9fb3F02BDumsdx5oAtknWCE3u166tcHAz2VndawPuYOF_xSdTp40K4sVrhbFqGWnYYLf6xDB7dR2w0URyYqHfDQD43OYuN-vKc7lsVetOQgBPTfdokcYzfM2al15aAqS3ePa/w460-h640/Eleanor%20Turpin%20and%20David%20Adams%20marriage%20cert%20from%20Loris%20Cupples.jpg" width="460" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p>Sadly Eleanor died on the 6th of October 1899 only two weeks after her marriage whereas the article states "two years"</p><div class="zone"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu1OoJEHdhBGaEIl1e0amAmA6WBHrmM9LdAuYFpaPi7Oi7cXQxGzk2cRVuPKP3n1z9nKYhf1ZZ5myR5nTKy1VGSW-gXWxV4VK0DAzlwJulW0XwVW_5HWTefClTkNabadSmxcVoQLdyKZIOWXB7d7h-Fi8EqTk99I4eHc5njtE7A5tXJZpvnS6rEh2f/s430/Ellenor%20Adams%20death%20notices.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="381" data-original-width="430" height="355" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu1OoJEHdhBGaEIl1e0amAmA6WBHrmM9LdAuYFpaPi7Oi7cXQxGzk2cRVuPKP3n1z9nKYhf1ZZ5myR5nTKy1VGSW-gXWxV4VK0DAzlwJulW0XwVW_5HWTefClTkNabadSmxcVoQLdyKZIOWXB7d7h-Fi8EqTk99I4eHc5njtE7A5tXJZpvnS6rEh2f/w400-h355/Ellenor%20Adams%20death%20notices.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article135381378</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div> Newcastle Morning Herald and Miners' Advocate NSW Sat 7 Oct 1899 Page 8</div><div><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><p style="text-align: left;">SAD DEATH On Thursday last Mrs Adams wife of Mr. David Adams, and daughter of Mr.W.

Some months ago he had been a patient at the Wangaratta District Base hospital where he had had an operation for a double hernia, and since his discharge he had been going about normally, but in the last week or so before he disappeared from his home, it had apparently become apparent to some his relatives and his wife that he was not acting quite normally in his mental condition and it appears that a close watch was being kept on his movements at his home on the evening of the 1/7/51 the deceased retired to to to bed, and when his wife entered his room the following morning at about 7.45am, it was then found that he was missing.

He retired to his bed at about 8.30pm, and I later took him in his sleeping tablets, I said to him, "Here are your tablets". He said "Right Dick and took the tablets and some water and then said "I will sleep now and then kissed him good night and left the room the time would then be about 9.15pm my late husband occupied a room on his own. Next morning I got up at 5.40am and unlocked the back door for Jack the man who works for us to come in, and I then went back to my room. At about 6.45am I got up again came down to the kitchen, lit the fire and got the breakfast and about 7.45am I went to call my late husband and found that he was not in bed. I had not heard the deceased leave the house as I may have dozed off when I went back to bed after unlocking the door. Prior to my late husband disappearing he had had an operation for double hernia and when he returned home from hospital he appeared to be progressing in his health for a start, and then about a fortnight after he complained that he could not sleep and had a full feeling in the right side of his head, and Dr Roan who was his medical adviser prescribed tablets for him. He took the tablets but still complained that he could not sleep, and he then lost interest in everything and complained of being very tired and could not sleep. At no time did the deceased say anything or suggest that he would take his life, and I think the deceased left the house between 5.40 when I first unlocked the door and 6.45am.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">My husband suffered loss of memory 15 years ago.

The deceased did not enter into any conversation and at no time did he say or give any indication that he would take his life, and as he was leaving he put his hand on my shoulder and said, "Good bye" or words to that effect that was the last time I seen him alive. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The deceased was my brother.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">signed Mary Maroney</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">***</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This Deponent Frank Gardiner on his oath saith - I am a 1st Constable of Police residing at Wangaratta.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">At about 2.30pm on the 28th day of July 1951 in consequence to a telephone message I went to Edward Street Wangaratta where I met Mrs Peacock and her two small children aged 6 years and 7 years. I was accompanied by 1st Const Land. Mrs Peacock informed me that her two children had been down at the One Mile creek gathering gum tis, and that they had come home and informed her that they had seen a man's boots in the creek. The two children accompanied 1st const Land and myself to Phillipson Street off the Yarrawonga road to the One Mile creek where they pointed out to me the bend in the creek where they had seen the boots on the top of the water. I went to the creek at this point where I saw the rubber boots and legs of a body in the middle of the stream. The upper portion of the body was under the water from the buttocks, and the body appeared to be caught under a snag. I then got the grappling iron and hooked it into the deceased clothing, and pulled the body to the bank, and with the assistance of 1/Const Land lifted the body from the water, it was in a rather decomposed condition and appeared to have been in the water for some considerable time. As I lifted the body from the water there was a heavy piece of railway rail about 1 foot long and about 20 lbs in weight tied around the deceased neck with a piece of rope. This weight was sufficiently heavy enough to weigh the upper portion of the deceased body down in the water, and causing his head to rest on the creek bed. The water at the point where the body was lying was about 3 feet 6 ins deep. The creek after flooding had receded and the water was then running within its banks, but before the body had been found the depth of the water at this point would have been approximately 8 fee during the height of the flood caused by the heavy rains after the deceased had become missing, and as the result of the weight around the neck it would not have been possible to see the body until the water had gone down to a level which enabled his legs to come to the surface. When I first lifted body from the water I could (see) that it was th body of that of Walter John Hulme who had been reported missing from his home since the 2nd July 1951 26 days before the body was recovered, by the description of the clothing, rubber ankle boots and the build. Apparently the deceased had entered the water some distance up stream from where the body was found as there is a big hole in the bend of the creek above where the body was found and apparently the current when the creek was in flood washed the body down to the point where it was recovered. I could find no indications on the banks as to which side of the creek the deceased had entered the water or how he entered the water after fastening the wight around his neck. I have interviewed all available witnesses and it appears that after the deceased had had an operation and returned to his home he commenced to lose all interest in things that he had taken a great pride in before, and appeared to become depressed and tired. There appears to be no suspicious circumstances surrounding the deceased death. The weight which was found tied to the deceased neck was used at his home for an anvil, and was kept in the tool shed. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Ex "B" The piece for iron produced is the piece referred to.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">signed F Gardiner.</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></span></div>Kerryn Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06349603206224885854noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1550058367591255848.post-88664243768736739622022-01-09T15:45:00.017+11:002022-01-09T15:52:45.042+11:00 THE NEBEL FAMILY BY MELINDA TAM<p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Melinda Tam is my 4th cousin once removed. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Melinda has written a story for the 50th edition of The Friends of Westgarthtown Newsletter and has very kindly allowed me to share it here as a guest post.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Melinda's story begins with our common ancestors the Nebel family from Prussia.</span></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="text-decoration-line: underline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">THE NEBEL FAMILY </span></b></span></h2><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="text-decoration-line: underline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">BY MELINDA TAM</span></b></span></h2><p style="text-align: center;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhIjbKUTXJM0zmqXEGcqFV8oFZfJ6P0eK_8DQoXHaCcs7pkfjVdUQDhuM32qfIAd3P5jDAFXv35XMXWdkpKwzkE9DVvTBM_sicqHSuJoavnXGnPJn4FvIdhDug55YFX0o75ua_cCofcwWKd5rlMJA2Ivr6RufYnrh1BDyA1RYt4oiQA_hAG0rLwAwen=s561" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="409" data-original-width="561" height="466" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhIjbKUTXJM0zmqXEGcqFV8oFZfJ6P0eK_8DQoXHaCcs7pkfjVdUQDhuM32qfIAd3P5jDAFXv35XMXWdkpKwzkE9DVvTBM_sicqHSuJoavnXGnPJn4FvIdhDug55YFX0o75ua_cCofcwWKd5rlMJA2Ivr6RufYnrh1BDyA1RYt4oiQA_hAG0rLwAwen=w640-h466" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Brig Acmel 1854 by Lorenz Petersen (www.artnet.com).</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; text-decoration-line: underline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><p></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-655e0b88-7fff-1752-67f0-4e058564651f"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Georg Nebel senior</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">My great great great grandfather Johann Georg Christian (known as Georg) Nebel was born on 18 December 1791 in Hohenseeden, Saxony, Prussia.

Georg Nebel purchased the Nebel farm at Westgarthtown on 5 July 1858 from Christian Kurtzmann for £700. This was Lots 11 and 12 Section 25 Parish of Keelbundora. It was 68 acres in size. He contracted to buy the farm on 6 March 1858, paying a deposit of £200.

He took possession on 1 April 1858. The sale price of £700 included “all improvements thereon and also 2 cows, 2 heifers, 1 plough, 1 harrow, 1 roller”. For Georg Nebel to legally own the land, he needed to be naturalized in Victoria. This took place on 6 May 1858. Georg Nebel was a dairy farmer.

This was a subdivision of Lot 11 Section 25 Parish of Keelbundora, the land being located in the north eastern corner. This reduced the size of the Nebel farm to 65 acres. The Nebel farm was mortgaged to Gottlieb Renner, the Westgarthtown schoolteacher on 20 February 1863 for £250. This mortgage was paid out in total by 10 April 1874.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">In 1864 Georg Nebel leased the adjoining Winter farm. This was Lots 9 and 10 Section 25 Parish of Keelbundora. It was 48 acres in size. It was owned by Friedrich Winter. Wilhelm Geue leased the farm from 1863 to 1864. In 1864 he wanted to leave for Adelaide in a hurry and the property was put up for auction on 17 March 1864. The property was described as “wooden house, stone kitchen and stable” with crops “1 acre maize, 1 acre tobacco, quarter acre potatoes”. Georg Nebel leased the Winter farm for the next 16 years.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Georg and Friedricke Nebel had a further six children, all born at Westgarthtown: Friedrich Hermann (Hermann) born on 1 June 1856, Johann Wilhelm Franz (Wilhelm) born on 16 August 1857, Anna Maria Nebel born on 3 April 1859, Marie Louise Emma (Emma) born on 23 August 1860, Wilhelmine Louise (Minnie) Nebel born on 18 August 1862 and Johann Friedrich (Friedrich) born on 10 December 1868 (my great grandfather). Two of these children died young: Anna died aged eight years old on 15 April 1867 of angina diphtheria and Hermann died aged twelve years old on 19 August 1868 of phthisis (tuberculosis).

The property was located in High Street on the corner High and Rufus Streets, Epping. This was Lots 11, 12 and 13 Section 17 Township of Epping. The size of the land was 2 acres 8 perches. He took full ownership on 22 April 1887. This property was occupied by James Patterson from 1886 to 1888 and he contracted to buy the property in about 1889 for £650. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Georg and Friederike Nebel were members of the Westgarthtown Lutheran Church at Thomastown. Georg was a committee member of the Westgarthtown Lutheran School; he was involved in the funding and construction of the Westgarthtown Lutheran Schoolhouse from 1865 to 1866. Georg was also a longstanding church elder. In 1884 with the death of Johann Stanger he became the Reader of the church; he took services when the pastor was unavailable until his own death in 1893. In 1885 Georg Nebel was elected trustee of the church, serving from 1887 until his death.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Georg and Friederike Nebel made many donations over the years.

In full Light Horse uniform, 14 members of the 20th made the train journey to Melbourne, arriving at the Town Hall recruiting depot where Lady Mayoress Cole was waiting to meet them. Later pictured marching side by side up Bourke Street, their story was featured in the Herald that afternoon and The Sun the following morning.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">After their initial training at Royal Park, Melbourne and Benalla, where "The Numurkah Mob" name was appropriately coined, Jack Thornton and Jack Laidlaw were sent to Officer Training School, and Jim Sharp, on request, joined his father in the Field Ambulance Corps. Completing infantry training at Wangaratta, the balance of "The Mob" went to Puckapunyal for artillery training, joining the 4th Anti-Tank Regiment on February 4, 1941. On parade, one member was ordered to volunteer for this regiment and with the call, "One in, all in" the other 10 stepped forward in unison. Col McPherson, of the Numurkah Platoon of the 59th Infantry Militia Battalion, enlisted on August 18, 1940 and transferred to the 4th Anti-Tank Regiment on April 10, 1941 becoming the final member of "The Numurkah Mob".</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">On June 9, 1941, all 12 disembarked from the SS Zealandia in Singapore and were soon dispatched inland onto the Malay Peninsula. Intensive training on their two-pounder anti-tank guns was soon put to the test following the massive Japanese invasion on December 8, 1941. Facing overwhelming odds they fought bravely, retreating with the allied forces to Singapore Island, prior to the surrender to Japan on February 15, 1942.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Mob members Frank Christie, Reg Cowan, George Dickie, Stan Gainey, Johnny Gray, Ron Haynes, Col McPherson, Allan Miller, Cliff Moss, Barry Shannon, Keith Tyres, and Les Venables had remained intact, immediately becoming prisoners of war where separation was soon to become inevitable.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">For the next three and a half years their bond of mateship and resolve to survive would be tested to the extreme. During this period they were forced to endure cruel brutality, near starvation, tropical diseases, and horrendous conditions in Changi Prison at camps along the construction of the Thailand-Burma Railway and in the docks and coal mines of Japan. Sadly, Keith Tyres died on Borneo's infamous Sandakan death march, Johnny Gray succumbed to beri-beri at Hell-Fire Pass, and Jim Sharp was killed in action as an Ambulance Driver during the bombing of Singapore.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Captain Jack Thornton fought Rommel's forces at Tobruk and El Alamein, returning to fight the Japanese in New Guinea and Borneo. Lieutenant Jack Laidlaw served in the Middle East and was promoted to Temporary Captain for the New Guinea campaign.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 led to Japan's official signed surrender on September 2, 1945. This ultimately saved the lives of the 10 remaining Numurkah Mob prisoners of war, who after years of torment, finally returned home to their families and loved ones.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">To a man, all of these gallant soldiers went on to be outstanding community-minded citizens, supporting each other and their fellow soldiers by holding annual POW reunions in the town for 50 years from 1940.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">In Dedicating this memorial to "The Numurkah Mob" the families of the soldiers honoured, together with the entire Numurkah district, salute their service and sacrifice proudly remembering the unbreakable bond of mateship they shared.

(IT would be easy enough to locate today, should you wish to do so. Plot 33 is on the modern Rowan Road, a mile or two west of Keady. Just on the border with Co Monaghan.) Immediately beside him were 6 other Morgan households which are likely to be relatives of his. The revaluation records show the property changing to Francis Morgan junior in 1874 which normally indicates Alexander had died by that year. Francis acquired the adjacent plot 33 in 1887 increasing his property to just over 15 acres. The property changed to Bridget Morgan in 1901 and then again to Thomas in 1907. Thomas purchased the property in 1914 under the Land Act (prior to that it had been rented) and he remained the occupant when that set of records end in 1929."</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></p><p><br /></p>Kerryn Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06349603206224885854noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1550058367591255848.post-34508121006049369092020-07-18T19:01:00.003+10:002020-07-18T19:12:14.396+10:00Ann Jane Thompson nee Fleming<div style="text-align: center;">
Ann Jane Fleming was the firstborn daughter of William Finlay Fleming and his wife, Ann Jane Knight.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was born on the 7th of March 1853 at River Plenty, Victoria, Australia.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A couple of years later the family were at Creswick, Victoria where Ann's brother William James Fleming was born in 1855</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They remained in the general area and Ann Jane met Arthur Thomson who was a musician born in Birkenhead, England.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ann and Arthur Married at the Manse in Creswick on the 11th of November 1870.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Witnesses were her parents.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Arthur's parents on his marriage were listed as John Abraham Thompson and Martha Williams.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ann gave birth to twelve children in the following years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Their first son, Arthur Fleming Thomson was born at Creswick in 1871. Birth reg # 8456 / 1871</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="row" style="background-color: white; border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: vic-regular, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-left: -15px; margin-right: -15px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They had moved to Inglewood where Ann's parents were living at the time and their daughter Louisa was born there in 1874, birth reg # 9495 / 1874</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jane was born next back in Creswick in 1875. Birth reg # 8307 / 1875</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
followed by Blanche in 1877, birth reg # 1398 / 1877</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and Florence in 1880, birth reg # 14322 / 1880</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
both at Castlemaine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1883 saw them in the Nathalia area where Ann's parents had settled to farming at Kotupna and it was there that Thomas was born in 1883, birth reg # 6952 / 1883</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Selina in1884, birth reg # 15286 / 1885</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Laura about 1886 but no birth registration found and Emily Augustine in 1887. birth reg # 25982 / 1887</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I wonder if Emily was known as Laura?)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There were ten children listed on Ann Jane's death certificate in 1925. Ethel and Emily weren't listed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
perhaps either Emily died either at birth or as an infant but I can't find a death registration so maybe she is Laura?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After Emily, it seems that Oliver was born at Elmore, then Ethel in 1889 at Kerang but I can't find their birth registrations. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bertha Elsie Adeline was the last born in 1891 at Minyip and her birth was registered but father's name not given.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't been able to find a death for Arthur Thomson but according to some records found for their later children, he was deceased before 1893.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Perhaps this was what set Ann on her difficult times. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unless there are family stories out there we may never know.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bertha's granddaughter, Joy Parker, who was a DNA match to me in Ancestry contacted me to ask if I knew anything about her grandmother being a State Ward.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I knew where to look for the records at the Public Records Office Victoria website and lo and behold 6 of the youngest children, Thomas, Selina, Laura, Oliver, Ethel and Bertha were all made Wards of the State in 1893.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A Mrs Faulkner in Bendigo was Foster carer to most of the children.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Thanks to Lenore Frost for pointing me to this Melbourne Metropolitan Board of Works Map from 1897, held by the State Library of Victoria <a href="http://handle.slv.vic.gov.au/10381/120816">http://handle.slv.vic.gov.au/10381/120816</a></div>
<div>
which shows 15 Vale Street where Lenore says would have stood a row of narrow-fronted terraces right on the street which around Melbourne were often widow's rentals.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I had to chuckle at the name of the lane the little red arrow is pointing at. Hit or Miss Lane!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Again thanks to Lenore looking in the Sands & Mc online at the State Library for the year 1925, living at 15 Vale Street was a John M Gallagher. </div>
<div>
In the electoral roll, I found a John Michael Gallagher living for some years with his wife Susan at 2 Vale Street. It appears Susan died in 1924.</div>
<div>
Perhaps John owned 15 Vale Street.</div>

<div>
I looked in the 1924 electoral roll for Ann Jane Thompson and found her living at 13 Vale Street.</div>

Alexander and Ann Morgan, lived in Rowan Road, Derrynoose, Armagh in 1864 and I'm pretty sure the house is still there and pictured below. (from Google maps)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A message board reply to my query quite a while ago is as follows.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"The property that Alexander Morgan had in 1864 was plot 33, in Griffiths Valuation, which was a farmhouse, outbuildings and 12 acres of land" which fits with Griffith's valuation taken in 1864. </div>

Also in that Parish was the death of an Agness Morgan in 1869.</div>

I purchased the Alexander Morgan death certificate (below) but cannot yet confirm with certainty that these are my ancestors.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
If this is our Alexander Morgan then the death of Agness above isn't ours as she was listed as a widow.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">Catherine Murphy who was the informant was a close-by neighbour.</div>

<br />
To those many people who have shared photos with me over the years, I can't thank you enough.<br />

Today I happened to notice in the pedigree view of my family tree that in my first four generations I am missing photos of only three of my ancestors.<br />
