I am looking for information on the Gunters and the Cundys who lived in the Aberdeen / Scone area from about 1858 to 1875. They later moved to the Nundle /Tamworth area but some descendents may have stayed in the Valley.
My great grandfather, Robert Thomas Gunter, was born in Gundy in 1874. His parents were Henry James Gunter and Mary Jane Cundy.
Does anybody have any information that might help me .
Cheers, Brian (Narooma, NSW)

Thanks Ted.
I know very little about the early days of the Gunters and Cundys in the Gundy area. Could you please expand a little on what you know of them in the Moonan Flat area? The Gunters were originally from the Maitland area where they settled in 1839 when they migrated from Gloucestershire, England. The Cundys migrated from Cornwall in 1858 and settled in Aberdeen. Henry James Gunter (1846-1908) married Mary Jane Cundy (1844-1936) in Scone in 1865 and they settled in the Gundy area. I understand that the town of Gundy was then known as Bellview. Henry and Mary Jane split up in about 1874 after having three children (Eliza Jane, William Henry and John Cornelius). Mary Jane later settled down with Samuel Dunbar on Glenrock Station, near Nundle. I look forward to hearing from you again. Cheers, Brian

I am researching my wifes family and I have found a strong link to Scone,her G/Gfather Henry Costigan and his brother,Denis George Cositigan were in Scone in !866,Denis married Charlotte French in Muswellbrook in 1867 and another Costigan,Patrick married Hannah Cummins in Scone in1882.
Henry and Denis moved to the Walcha Area by !872.Their father came to Australia with the !!th Regiment in 1847 and could have been based in the Hunter but
on leaving the Army became a music teacher in Balmain.
The question is "Why are the Costigans in Scone in the 1860's?"

Hi
I stumbled accross an ad in a newspaper asking Ann Fitzgerald (convict originally) to contact a specific postoffice as there is something she will here to her benifit. The ad listed her first place of convict labour in Sydney followed by being posted to Mrs Kelmon of the famous Kirkton Vineyard. I then stumbled accross a marriage for her (not my line) to a John Shannon in 1833 Newcastle (Christ Church Cathedral) but cannot find any details of this man dying etc.. Ann is also known as Mary Ann possibly and was illiterate. Does anyone know anything about this pair Ann remarries and lives in Goulburn with a Charles Payne and has many children.
Thanks

William Clarke is my fourth great grandfather and was transported to Australia on the "Fortune" in 1806. I have some conflicting evidence regarding where he is buried. Some records state that he died in 1848 and is buried at St Matthews C of E Windsor whereas the family history book states he died at Cockfighter Creek and was buried on 30/3/1846, performed by the Rev. Francis Cameron. at Whittingham C of E cemetery, but this was destroyed in floods of 1955. Can anyone shed any light as to which information would be correct?

Thank you so much for the reply. We joined our local geanology society and found a book with all the lisings for St Matthews at Windsor and William is listed so I will have to make another visit. I would love anything your cousin could come up with or any other information. On a recent visit to Singleton we stopped in at their museum and purchased as small book on the Singleton family. Maybe some of the information could be useful - just ask!

Hi, My relative Patrick Fagan, a ex-convict,who lived in William St East Maitland, and was buried in Hiland Crescent Cemetary East Maitland. I have heaps of information on him but until I "walked" the route from his street to the Hiland Cres Cemetary using "Streetview" I couldn't get a grasp of the locations. I had a couple of photos of Hiland Cemetary but I can now see exactly how it fits into the streetscape. East Maitland looks like a nice place:)

Hi,
I am looking for any information on a William New/Newe in West Maitland NSW, unsure of his birth or death dates.
We had always thought my grt x grandparents were married, we were quite surprised to find they weren't. They were living in West Maitland NSW and had a total of 8 children. Two of whom died at a young age.
William New/Newe is a mystery man. He is not on any of the childrens birth certificates, and on neither of the infants death certificates.
The family were living in High Street Maitland for a number of the childrens births from about 1885-1894. The only time I have been able to find William New/Newe on any records is in the 1930 Australian Electoral Rolls. Living at 35 Hannon/Hannan St West Maitland NSW with two of his children. Julia Ann Hannan died from burns in a housefire in 1927.
If anyone has information about my mysterious grt x 2 grandfather and can help in anyway please get in contact.

Martin Donohoe arrived in Australia in 1833 on the portland. I dont know anything about the years, up until 1841, when he was part of the group that captured the Jew boys gang near Scone. I think he was a servant to William Damaresq. For his help he was granted a pardon. There is some evidence he owned a pub in Denman and was involved in horse racing, owning a horse called Victor.
It is all very clear from the time of his son William, who worked and lived on Martindale station,as did his son Victor, my grandfather. What is not clear is what happened between his pardon and his death and how the next two generations ended up living and working on Martindale.
Any help would be appreciated.

There are a couple of articles on a Martin Donohue on the above site,also one on a John Donohue dying intestate and at least one other on William Dumaresq
One of the Inns held up by the Jewboy gang was the Rising Sun at Millfied on the Wollombi Road. In 1840 Thomas Pendergast [my Gr.Gr. Grandmothers brother] was held up by the gang and robbed of thirteen pounds.The article is reported on the above site.
Martindale is an area I visit fairly often, a friend of mine owns part of the property owned by the white Family.

Hi,
There is a brief mention of staff housing at the mine with addresses in this Environmental study http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/consol_reg/lmlep2004330/sch4.html
Have you tried searching the Newcastle University Archives? Might be some helpful info there. http://www.newcastle.edu.au/service/archives/archives/.

"Interesting information. Is the 6695 BMD record a death record for a William Minchin, and Ambrose & Mary Rylstone the parents?
I know spelling can be a problem as one of the records I found was under Ninchin. Also Minchen was often used." Yes that is correct. This is for William, son of Ambrose & Mary A Minchin. I have always believed that towards the late 1800's the BDM records were fairly complete and reliable (apart from misspellings). After checking NSW BDM under different spelling variations. I'd be now looking interstate ... Qld would be 1st choice. Good luck! Oh... naturally you have already looked at the odd census?

I was wondering if anyone can help me with my William Maughan.
The name is spelt many ways- Maughn/Manghan/Mawm/Moughan.
William was tried for manslaughter 18/3/1836 at the Mayo Spring Assizes in Ireland & received a 7 year sentence
William was transported aboard the “Earl Grey” in 1836.
On William’s Ticket of Leave, dated November 1840, he was in the district of Wellington.
William Moughan on marriage cert. married 18/9/1848 Mary J Gettas at St Mary’s Catholic Church Sydney.
William’s parish was Wellington & Mary’s parish was Sydney.
Witnesses were Jeremiah & Sarah O’Neill.
Their son William was born 9/1/1852, their abode was Riely Street Sydney..
William was christened 18/1/1852 at St James Catholic Church Sydney.
On his birth cert. surname is spelt Mawn,- mothers maiden name is spelt Gettus
Their daughter Mary Anne was born 20/5/1855, their abode was Crown Street & christened 27/5/1855 at St James Catholic Church Sydney.
The surname was spelt maughn on cert. Mother’s maiden name was spelt Gattis.
On daughter Mary Anne’s marriage cert, her father’s occupation was a butcher.
Family had said Mary’s mothers surname was Geddes.
I’m hoping someone has some information on this family.
Thanx

Hi Josee1,
To change the header go to More Tools (along from Easy Edit Bar). Under More Tools there is a rename page option. Click on that and you should be able to add the rest of your heading. For the rest of the page you are building use the easy edit tool to add tables, information, photos etc. Hope this helps. If you have any more problems dont hesitate to send me an email. Regards, Jen
