Hi LB,

Lots from Bourke and err further west never made it either .... I'm talking about whole years and years .... The Dubbo Family History group has folders and folders .... could be near 80% of the Births in particular NEVER got to Sydney ...  and they were not lost just cause of bush rangers out around Eugowra holding up the Royal Mail and nicking the gold, I'm talking 1880's, 1890's and err perhaps even to around when the boys enlisted for the Boer War ...   At one stage the rural registrars were paid by the number of entries forwarded, until some bright spark "invented" some deaths to help himself to extra revenue ... So then they were paid a quarterly fee, regardless.  So some chose to collect it regardless of transmitting the forms ....

Cheers, (Thanks Tephra for your kind comments,  I'm a bit centric with Old Sydney Town and west across the Blue Mtns and err got several drovers in my lot ... they got up into Qld ... very difficult to find, and it would not be fair to ask for a scavenger hunt as they arrived too early for UK census).  

Fingers crossed for reply for LB to both The Manor House and to the newspapers.  Fingers and toes crossed that the postman arrives soon,
and also


HAVE you checked the Orange Cemetery for that Martha Innes ... that Robyn spotted ...  I cannot figure out online link to that Cemetery.  I am meant to get to Eugowra (just other side of Orange) sometime later this month.  OH has digital camera

I think this is one of the best sites; http://austcemindex.com/cemeteries.php
But I couldn't find anything there. 
The other one I use is; http://www.australiancemeteries.com
But it doesn't have contacts to all cemeteries, just lists them.
All in the Bathurst area for instance direct you to Bathurst Historical Society.

Sorry LB,

I should have posted here a little while ago, cause I too use those sites, and had been there straight after I posted. 

I've just been reading a very old article about a New Zealand Princess.  It's nought to do with this thread, but it's brought a tear or two to my eyes, this New Zealand Princess gave up all her names, not just her nee name, but all her names and went (to India and then back to OZ) with her European husband whom she married when aged just 14.  So sad, for she passed on in Sydney.   

I share the link (Sydney Gazette, Saturday 3 March 1810 page 2

Cheers,  JM

PS

I had spotted a Mr James Innes as a Master of the Martan with the usual notice for ships crews leaving Sydney (on page 1)

Hi there,

At West Maitland,  Martha Alice TAYLOR, dau of William and Mary and on BDM online 13104/1941  would seem to be for same Martha Alice Taylor with a probate packet reference (ie was an adult) and the NSW Archives Investigator index shows
Martha Alice Taylor - Date of Death 15/06/1941, Granted On 19/09/1941

So, I have not followed that " Martha Alice" much further, except if NSW marriage, and presuming first marriage, then nee surname not showing as ENNIS or other surnames mentioned as likely for EAB ...

Oh well, back to "tha drawen bored"

Cheers,  JM

Don't think so JM. I've looked at just about every photo in that collection. I have 2, Mrs & child that I posted, Mrs and Mr, Miss Ennis & Miss E.Ennis. Also a couple with 3 boys who look to be the right ages. I'm pretty sure of those. Plus about 5 cottages with families which could be mine.
Thanks for looking.

OK, A4 envelope arrived.
But don't get excited. 
Forty thousand pages, all in the most atrocious handwriting 
New data;

Mrs Ennis departed from ORANGE, NSW. 17th September, 1878. Reason stated as seeking medical treatment.
Two children with Mrs Ennis, ie; Emily and Martha. (so Emily did NOT expire in 1878.)
Resided with Mrs Medlar in Castlereigh St Sydney.
Shortly after moved to the house of Mrs Minty in Smith Street, Sydney.
Here she and co-respondent resided as Mr & Mrs NASRAL.    This is written three times in three different hands and is definitely NASRAL. I've tried several searches NSW from 1800 -1979. Absolutely no NASRAL. 

Mr & Mrs NASRAL, with Emily & Martha, departed Sydney for Melbourne.
Son Albert went to Melbourne looking for Elizabeth and learned that they had gone to Adelaide.

I can find no evidence that the divorce was made Decree Absolute. Should be about 12 months after Decree nisi.

That's it. Very disappointing.

I did think for a while that John might have found gold at Hill End and there was maybe lots of money involved, but he didn't file for divorce for two years on the grounds that he didn't have money for court fees any earlier than that. So there goes that theory.
That's all there is folk.
I'd appreciate any input, but if the shine has worn off, I'll understand.
Leonie.
