Hello Jude
I am replying via the RootsChat forum as well as personally because I'm not sure if you receive my personal messages sent via RootsChat.
Yes, Pam and I have discovered Trove and found it a goldmine of family history information. As you mentioned that there was an article about the drowning of Eleanor Wran, I had a look and found one (attached) which was also reproduced in other places such as Melbourne.
William Conyngham Ussher was the son of Sarah (nee Talbot) and Henry Ussher. That means he was Philip Talbot's grandson. Philip also left property to Colin Campbell Cameron, another grandson.
Sarah and Henry Ussher moved to Mount Morgan, as did their daughter Elizabeth Annie Ussher and her husband Edward Barwon Gooch. Elizabeth and Edward Gooch were my great grandparents. I knew that they had lived at Yatton as my grandfather, Percy, had been born there, with his father a publican at the time. My father was born in Mount Morgan.
I didn't know that Sarah Ussher had been a partner in Joe Butler and Co cordial company. Very interesting. How did you come across that information? It seems there is a bit I don't know about Sarah as you also told me that she had a boarding house in St Lawrence.
Any more interesting items of information that you recall would be most appreciated.
Regards
Elizabeth
