Hi to you all
      Thankyou so much for all these answers.  Unfortunately, I do know about all of them and one I even wrote.  How do you know so quickly that someone you might be able to help has written? 
      Cheers, Marama.

Yes I realised that

You need to be a good detective when researching family history.

You use your name as a username on another well known family history website. 
You have searched for your family on another site and the posts are available via google. 
You have a publication on another branch of your family.
There is a photo of your mother as a bride on TROVE and your parents are on the NSW 1980 electoral roll. 
You father died in NSW and his death registration is available on the NSW bdm website and your mother in WA and her burial record is available on the Metropolitan Cemeteries Board website.
Then I found this link......

If information is published on the net then someone is sure to find it. 

I didn't read the text of Wm's farewell dinner so not sure it was helpful.

Hi Cando
   How did you do all that so quickly?  Everything you have found is correct but I must confess I have never seen the picture of my mother as a bride on Trove.  Must go and look for it.  That last family tree you mentioned - Auger I think - has been annoying me for many years.  I never gave them permission to us it and they have managed to transcribe several things wrongly - and they won't do anything about correcting them so that all sorts of other people are just blindly carrying these mistakes on.
    Bye for now.

Yes I can understand your frustration. After having my 'fingers burnt' I am now extremely careful with whom I share either my own or my OH's family history.  I don't have either of our trees online have spent a lot of time suggesting to the compilers of the online trees that they re-visit their research. Most appear to have been copied from a couple of very poorly researched trees. Two of the trees have been compiled by persons who are not related to our family in any way.  One appears to be about people in Maryborough Qld and some of my paternal grandmother's distant relatives lived there for a period before moving to NZ and for some inexplicable reason, two generations later my deceased parents are included.  Weird.  Another compiler said "I have an interest in genealogy".  Weirder.  The oddest one is a person who compiled family trees of those who were born or lived at Walhalla in Victoria....and was extremely rude when I asked him in a private message, to explain his connection to our family.  Refused and rudely said - you haven't a public tree I can look at.  I worked out who he was and he made a brief appearance on this board.  I say no more.

I share any information that is available in the public area.  Some are most appreciative, some have been rude and some ignore me  

Cheers

Have you seen this obituary?

Thanks for the obit - I hadn't seen it although I have seen another one that mentions the Wedding in Northumberland!   The Auger person who wrote that family tree replied when I asked him exactly how we were related to him that we have some Cornish ancestors called Odgers.  I wasn't impressed with that either and I think any connection must be very vague!  I found my mother's photo.  A tinted one always hung in my parrents' bedroom.   I thought I might spend an idle hour or two trying to work out just who you are but you haven't left any clues so far except that you live in New Zealand.

Hi Marama,

The Qld State Archives hold a Land Selection File for William Mune on microfilm, do you have a copy of this?
