we to have so much knowledge and so many resources for family history at our
fingertips?</span><span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">As I am writing this post I am taking a break from
watching presentations from the wonderful RootsTech conference.<span> </span>While I was not able to attend in person,
technology has made it possible for me to attend virtually, both on the days of
the conference itself and then allowed me to continue to enjoy more sessions
online in the days and weeks that followed.</span><span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">Technology has also seen more and more data and
records digitised and made available online, a boon to researchers
worldwide.<span> </span>While not everything is
available this way, for people researching family from the other side of the
world online records are a huge help in our research.</span><span></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">Covid-19 changed all our
lives in so many ways.<span> </span></span><span style="color: #333333;">Genealogically speaking, the biggest impact for me was the loss
of face-to-face meetings. I missed chatting face-to-face with Genea-mates
and the networking and idea sharing that goes hand in hand with meetings and
conferences. Online meetings were just not the same.</span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #333333;">Despite the down side of online meetings, however,
the rise of virtual conferences has allowed me to attend inter-state and
overseas meetings that I would never have been able to attend in reality.
The genealogical community has pulled together, made use of the internet like
never before, and was huge part of providing so many of us isolated at home
with interest, stimulation and contact.<span>
</span>Technology made it all possible.</span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #333333;">#52Ancestors <br /></span></span></p>

immigrant branches of my family have achieved in their new lives in Australia.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">For whatever their reasons, my
original Australian immigrant ancestors made a huge leap of faith to leave
their homelands and travel to a distant country, most with little chance of
returning if their new lives proved less than they hoped.</span><span style="background: white; line-height: 107%;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">Some travelled singly, more in
family groups, but for all it was a monumental decision.<span> </span>In the colonial years of Australia, travel
from Europe could take months, and for most visiting relatives ‘back home’ was
out of the question.<span> </span>They travelled in
the knowledge they would likely never see those they left behind again.<span> </span></span><span style="background: white; line-height: 107%;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">Communication was challenging as
well.<span> </span>My maternal ancestors all
emigrated to Australia well before the telephone, so letters were the main form
of communication, and it would take months for post to make its way across the
globe.<span> </span>Low literacy levels would also
have complicated – or prevented – much communication.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 107%;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="background: white; color: black;">My great grandfather, James
Nicholas Clark, was born in 1856, just as the family emigrated to
Australia. The family first arrived in Port Sorrell, Tasmania, where
the family lived for at least 12 years before they crossed Bass Strait and
settled in Victoria.</span><span style="background: white;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="background: white; color: black;">I also have Irish ancestors who
travelled singly to Australia in the 1840s, settling as farmers at Eurobin in
northern Victoria.<span> </span>They came out well
before the potato famine to make new lives in the colony.</span><span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="background: white; color: black;">Then there is my German branch
of the family tree. Carl Friedrich Beseler, known in Australia as
Frederick, was born around 1810 in Hanover, Germany. He was</span><span style="color: black;"> a
shoemaker in Germany and a farmer in Australia, arriving in Adelaide on 1 April
1848 with his wife and 5 children on the ship Pauline from Bremen, Germany.
The family lived in South Australia for 7 years before travelling overland to
Victoria, where they settled near Ercildown. Several members of the
family are buried in Learmonth Cemetery. </span><span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">How brave were these people to make the leap into
the unknown to travel to the other side of the world in search of better
lives?<span> </span>Establishing themselves and their
families in their new homeland and building successful lives was an achievement
indeed.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">#52Ancestors </span></span><span style="font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"></span></p>

This is something we need to be aware of in our family history research - what a particular word meant 200, 100 or even 20 years ago may not be what it means today. Similarly, what was acceptable language years ago may not be acceptable or commonplace today.</p><p>This change in language is particularly clear in newspapers - not merely the language itself but also what was acceptable in reporting and how events were reported.<br /></p><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
My
great uncle Norman Clark died at the age of 18 when he was taken by a
shark off Middle Brighton Pier on Feb 15th 1930. He was the first
swimmer to be killed by a shark in the bay for over 50 years, and was
killed in full view of hundreds of people as there was a boating regatta
taking place at the time. The incident was reported in numerous papers
around Australia - not just the Melbourne Argus but papers like the
Rockhampton News, Launceston Times, Adelaide Advertiser,
Brisbane Courier and Western Australian Mail. Below is one of the many (over 70!) newspaper reports which appeared in papers around Australia in the days after Norman's death.<br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnS0_chS0Qtbf8sxHoAg0TNS1DaalDZ6yI5OHrC_d2lvmXeVGXgKsMLWWgcfe7VUF5v_ZSlgtBvsFigIGRLMFhV039OyzqPKOsZ_OaaDmWq1hxpxRZToHUFTppzBxmF-7Uu22Geo3KENqj/s1600/Norman+Clark+h.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="647" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnS0_chS0Qtbf8sxHoAg0TNS1DaalDZ6yI5OHrC_d2lvmXeVGXgKsMLWWgcfe7VUF5v_ZSlgtBvsFigIGRLMFhV039OyzqPKOsZ_OaaDmWq1hxpxRZToHUFTppzBxmF-7Uu22Geo3KENqj/w356-h647/Norman+Clark+h.jpg" width="356" /></a></div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"> </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"> </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Just looking at the language is fascinating - I doubt it would be
allowed today to describe a young man's death in a shark attack as a
"thrilling struggle". This sub-heading does highlight how language much changes - not just the basic meaning of a word but also how it is used. At the time of this headline 'thrilling' more closely meant 'dramatic' rather than 'exciting', and certainly what was acceptable when reporting such a tragedy back in 1930 is not what our newspapers would publish today.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The description of the attack is graphic and would not be reported in such a way today - it simply would not be acceptable. Even reporting the victim's full name prior to all family members being notified - I have a subsequent report from the Adelaide Advertiser in which his older sister is interviewed and reveals that she found out about her brother's death by reading about it in the newspaper while she and her husband were on holiday in Adelaide.<br /></div>

By far the most common was a surname change for a woman upon her marriage, but there were many other reasons a person might change the name they were given at birth. From using a preferred nickname, name contractions, altering names to fit a new home, or completely changing a name to escape the past - there were many reasons you might find an ancestor under a different name. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">We also need to remember that it was often a clerk, secretary, enumerator or other official who recorded names on official documents, and mistakes were often made and not corrected. The name was recorded as the recorder heard it, and so spelling variations abound. They all can make tracing your ancestors that much more challenging.<br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px; word-break: break-word;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">There
were the commonly used spelling variations, abbreviations and
diminutives. For example, if you don’t know that Polly was a diminutive
of Mary or that Nellie was a diminutive of Ellen and Eleanor and Helen,
you may struggle to find your ancestors’ entries. Harry for Henry,
Bill for William, Fred or Alf for Alfred, Dick for Richard, Charlie or
Lottie for Charlotte, Maggie, Meg or Maisie for Margaret. Elizabeth was
another extremely common name with multiple diminutives - Eliza, Liz,
Lizzie, Betty, Betsy, Beth, Bessie, Lisbeth, Liza - the list goes on. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">I
have one female ancestor, baptised Elizabeth, who was known throughout
her life as Betsy. This was the name she used in census records, her marriage record, her
children's birth/baptism records and on her death certificate and burial
records. The only time I can ever find her referred to as Elizabeth is
at her own baptism. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Naming patterns were common in many families, although they are by
no means a reliable way of predicting the names of children.
Traditionally, the first son would be named for the paternal
grandfather, the second son for the maternal grandfather and the third
son for the father. For females, the first daughter would be named for
the maternal grandmother, the second daughter for the paternal
grandmother and the third daughter for the mother. Providing, of
course, these names were not the same. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">For my German branch of my family tree, anglicization of names when they emigrated from Germany to Australia saw the entire family change their names. Friedrich became Frederick, Suatus became Susetta and eventually Susan, Heinrich became Henry, Margaretha became Margaret, and so on. It helped to family to fit in with their new homeland.</span><br /></p><p></p>Campaspe Libraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18387792741949112410noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2185189209563938229.post-84736201579280258702024-02-22T08:38:00.001+11:002024-02-22T08:38:00.320+11:00Traces Magazine<p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Edition 24 of Australian history and genealogy magazine Traces <span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">is now available free

cleaning out the family home after the deaths of our parents - our
father in 2013 and mother in 2015 - and the importance of knowing the
stories behind the many treasures tucked away in cupboards and drawers,
or out in the shed.</p><p>Cleaning out the house, we came across
treasures in every corner. A hand tinted photo of my mother as a child,
a box of slides and negatives from early in our parents' marriage, a
small garnet brooch that belonged to my great grandmother, a bronze
alligator nutcracker made by my grandfather, and so much more. </p><p>Before the family house was sold, I took the opportunity to take cuttings from several plants I could not take with me. One of these was a hares-foot fern that lived in our old, falling down greenhouse. The original hares-foot belonged to my grandmother. Before she passed away, my mother took a cutting from her plant, brought it home and potted it. It thrived in our greenhouse and by the time my parents passed away it had overgrown its pot, attached itself to the wooden shelf the pot sat upon, and was firmly attached to the shelf. Clearly it was not moving with me to my new home. So much as my mother had done, I took a few cuttings, potted them and hoped for the best.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5rez6WLofQAsumpMEAvGC9__NI02W3NdwWUvI8Pr9brRNspiLVcrVyXYNp-FL5RABnfqLbusAh2CBch3RVEBCgle0I-rrv36qnWPpCgnTv8UYqsBY8QSNAGKQYnXhIxyOb7tme54CIyRPP5W32QInhg89PsF8w_rgiMWlKSDoddsADqQBjtWBQ2yET9in/s2688/Haresfoot%20cuttings%202016.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1520" data-original-width="2688" height="181" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5rez6WLofQAsumpMEAvGC9__NI02W3NdwWUvI8Pr9brRNspiLVcrVyXYNp-FL5RABnfqLbusAh2CBch3RVEBCgle0I-rrv36qnWPpCgnTv8UYqsBY8QSNAGKQYnXhIxyOb7tme54CIyRPP5W32QInhg89PsF8w_rgiMWlKSDoddsADqQBjtWBQ2yET9in/s320/Haresfoot%20cuttings%202016.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />These two little cuttings have thrived. They quickly outgrew the little pots I had started them in, and have since been transplanted to bigger pots. They sit, one in my main bathroom and one in a stand in my dining room, and I think of my mother and grandmother whenever I see them. I have recently taken a new cutting from one of these plants and potted it for a friend. And so the heirloom hares-foot fern continues on, hopefully for many years to come.<br /><p></p>Campaspe Libraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18387792741949112410noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2185189209563938229.post-84590392604124526502024-02-17T08:29:00.001+11:002024-02-17T08:29:00.137+11:00Week 7 (Feb. 12-18): Immigration<p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">As
we research our family history, we all want to trace our ancestors
movements, especially when they emigrated between countries. As an
Australian of British and European descent, tracing how and when my
ancestors made the journey out to the colony is fascinating to me. It
can, however, be extremely challenging - it appears several of my
ancestors might have swum out to Australia!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">For
a couple of my ancestors, making the assumption that they moved
directly from A to B let me astray, in one case for several years. The
family of my great grandfather, James Nicholas Clark, came from Bristol
in England. They left England at about the time James was born and
eventually settled in Melbourne, Australia. It took me several years of
fruitless searching for their immigration details before I widened my
search to find the family first arrived in Launceston, Tasmania, which
is where James was born shortly after they arrived. The family spent at least 5
years in nearby Port Sorrell before travelling across Bass Strait to
settle in Melbourne.</span><span style="color: black;"> <br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">So why is it so difficult to find some of our ancestor's immigration records?<br /></span></span></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">Consider
alternate spelling of their
name. The clerk who recorded their embarkation or arrival was unlikely
to ask about spelling and just recorded the name as he heard it.<br /></span></span></li><li>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">If the person travelled in steerage/was
an unassisted immigrant/was a crew member who jumped ship, the details recorded
about them may be scant or non-existent.</span></span></li><li>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">Females, children, servants and steerage
passengers were frequently left off the passenger lists altogether.</span></span></li><li>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">Did they migrate in stages?<span> </span>Not everyone went straight from A to B – some
visited other points along the way, sometimes taking years to arrive at their </span><span style="color: black;">final
destination</span><span style="color: black;">.</span></span></li><li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">Prior to 1852, ship's masters were not
required to record the names of unassisted passengers travelling from Britain
to the Australian colonies.</span></span></li><li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">Port Phillip District of New South Wales
was established on 10 April 1837.<span>
</span>Victoria was not proclaimed a separate colony until 1 July 1851.<span> </span>Check NSW records if your ancestor arrived
earlier.</span></span></li><li>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">After 1923 records of people arriving by
sea and air are held at the National Archives of Australia. </span></span></li><li>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">Not all records have survived the passage
of time and remained legible.</span></span></li></ul><p></p>Campaspe Libraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18387792741949112410noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2185189209563938229.post-1416516308403709792024-02-16T08:21:00.000+11:002024-02-16T08:21:28.936+11:00National Farm Survey<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBUxlbTmGiLLa6pmY7hG6dEKJ_eLx0DULGakrYE2mFfJ854FwpdpCABNNKor2SQf0GQvyh_DN0nFDuLnmOpCHo9bMoM2fGKzm-mMvrR0DDaQ-zmKkkPeAhWhS-YFJatljerYmMwglGTpG941CNVQqIs2kL9qXlogcw2uozexFJVcRlmaCK-jq4v2NxU7ke/s1273/LandMap.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1273" data-original-width="786" height="566" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBUxlbTmGiLLa6pmY7hG6dEKJ_eLx0DULGakrYE2mFfJ854FwpdpCABNNKor2SQf0GQvyh_DN0nFDuLnmOpCHo9bMoM2fGKzm-mMvrR0DDaQ-zmKkkPeAhWhS-YFJatljerYmMwglGTpG941CNVQqIs2kL9qXlogcw2uozexFJVcRlmaCK-jq4v2NxU7ke/w350-h566/LandMap.jpg" width="350" /></a></div>The National Archives has announced a project to digitise the National
Farm Survey, taken in 1941, thanks to a £2.13 million grant from the
Lund Trust.<br /> <br />The survey includes details of over 300,000 farms in
England and Wales including how the land was used, location, condition
and management as well as details of owners and tenants.<br /> <br />As one
of the most requested documents at The National Archives, the
digitisation of the 1941 National Farm Survey will help to preserve the
original documents as well as improve access for local and family
historians researching <a href="https://www.whodoyouthinkyouaremagazine.com/tutorials/jobs/best-websites-agricultural-labourers">agricultural </a><a href="https://www.whodoyouthinkyouaremagazine.com/tutorials/jobs/best-websites-agricultural-labourers" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">labourers</a> and farms.<br /> <br />The
first records to be digitised will be the individual farm records (MAF
32) with the accompanying survey maps (MAF 73) coming later. <br /> <br />The
project is planned to be completed by March 2027, with the first
digital records coming online from March 2026. The resulting databse
will be freely available online, enabling researchers to discover more
about family farms or their local area. <br /> <br />Jeff James, CEO &
Keeper of The National Archives said: “This is a unique opportunity to
realise the potential of what was seen as a ‘Second Domesday Book’, a
‘permanent and comprehensive record of the conditions on the farms of
England and Wales’. Thanks to this partnership, the National Farm
Survey, an enormous database of land ownership and land usage in
mid-20th century Britain, will be freely available online to researchers
in the UK and globally.” <br /><p></p><br />Campaspe Libraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18387792741949112410noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2185189209563938229.post-67850956797729862172024-02-16T08:08:00.001+11:002024-02-16T08:08:00.130+11:00Irish Genealogy Update<p>For those with Irish family roots, the following post from <a href="https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/">IrishGenealogy</a> may be of interest. <br /></p><p>The state-managed IrishGenealogy.ie database has received its annual

Several chat were with my Great Uncle Russell Clark, and below is a transcription of a conversation we had about his early working life. <br /></span></span></p><p></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span>At
the age of 14 I gained my “Merit Certificate” and that gave me the opportunity
to take on a full time job. Frank </span>Marriott, a vegetable grower in Centre Road, Bentleigh <span>offered me one and so I went working in his
garden. Fifty six hours per week, milk a cow night and morning before
breakfast, mow a large lawn Saturday afternoon before being allowed to go home
for the weekend. Ten shillings a week and my keep. I had a hut away from the
main house and near the large shed where horses were kept and chaff etc.
stored. I had a “crystal set” which was a wireless but in order to get any
stations one had to have a long aerial suspended from something high. I was
lucky because I ran a wire from the top of the double story feed shed down to
my hut. With the crystal set right I could get both 3DB and 3LO. I was made!!!!
I spent four years with Frank. I had my 18<sup>th</sup>
Birthday there and my Mother purchased a bicycle for me. I believe she paid
five pounds for it. From then on I was able to ride home on occasions and later
on again I rode to work every morning and I kept wonderfully fit. Hurlingham
Park was next door to where we lived and I played football there for the
Brighton Vale Football Club and actually captained the side for a season.</span></span><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span>My brother Lennie (one year older) was
apprenticed to a butcher. Meekhams was their name and they had a shop on the
Nepean Road near Union Street from memory. As time went by I used to do some
part time work for them. I would unfold “Heralds” and “Suns” (newspapers) place
them flat in a pile then roll them up and tie a string around them. They were
used in the shop to wrap the meat. I got threepence an hour for that, not much
but enough to get me into a matinee at the Brighton Theatre on a Saturday
afternoon.</span></span></p>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">However I eventually left that job at Marriott’s
garden and started work at the “Metropolitan Gas Company” where I remained
until the outbreak of the Second World War. I then rode my bike from Brighton
to South Melbourne, riding along Nepean Highway to Elsternwick, down towards
Elwood and across to St Kilda, along the beach to nigh on Port Melbourne where
the Gasworks were located. Those days we worked on a Saturday morning so a long
ride on the bike six days a week. I used to also get some overtime working some
evenings and again on a Saturday afternoon to earn a little extra. At the age of 21
years I was earning the princely sum of four pounds six shillings and eight
pence per week. To supplement this payment I had by then joined the Militia and
when I was due for annual holidays (one week per year, later to become two
weeks) I arranged for my holidays to coincide with an annual Military Camp at
the Mobilization Stores at Seymour. This was also a paid job. So I would have
my break from the Gas Company and spend that time “under canvass” doing a
supplementary paid job. This was all to earn extra income.</span>Campaspe Libraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18387792741949112410noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2185189209563938229.post-31605588511722143612024-02-13T09:16:00.004+11:002024-02-13T09:16:54.177+11:00Week 5 (Jan. 29-Feb. 4): Influencer<p>The prompt for Week 5 of #52Ancestors is 'Influencer', and it brings to me the influence of family. I believe that the influence of family in how we each develop as individuals cannot be underestimated. Spending the first few years of my life on an isolated sheep station with the only other child being my older sister has had a huge influence on my life, and increased the influence of my parents on me.</p><p>My parents always spoke to us in adult language - no baby talk for us - and took questions seriously. If we asked, obviously we were interested and deserved a serious answer. Having little opportunity for education themselves, my parents truly valued learning and as a child I can recall my parents slowly paying off a children's encyclopedia for us. </p><p>Then we moved to the town of Moama, one of our first stops was the local library. Both my parents loved to read and taught my sister and I to love books and reading from a very early age. A Sunday morning tradition as young children was to spend time snuggled in our parents bed being read to before getting up for breakfast. We always had books around, and we knew we had been truly naughty if our
parents took away the book we kept beside our beds to read quietly if
we woke up early. Throughout my childhood and into my teens in the evenings if there was nothing we specifically wanted to watch on TV we would sit together, each with puzzles or handcraft projects, taking turns to read aloud to each other. I can recall being about 12 years old at a sleepover with friends when I first realised not all families read aloud to each other like this! <br /></p><p>my sister and I both arrived at primary school already well able to read ourselves, and while our peers were learning their letters my sister and I were already independently reading for ourselves. Fortunately our teachers were quite happy for us to visit the school library to borrow more advanced books rather than limiting us to the readers in our classrooms. It is hardly surprising that this early influence resilted in my choosing to become a librarian as my career.<br /></p>Campaspe Libraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18387792741949112410noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2185189209563938229.post-71939186564800820342024-02-08T08:23:00.002+11:002024-03-12T12:05:31.049+11:00Family Tree UK Magazine<p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The

What do we have to tell them?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Over the past few years we have all lived through historic times. Have you recorded your feelings and impressions?</span></p><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span>The
Covid19 pandemic has been a major historical event. For
all of us who have lived through it, there will be memories of Covid,
both positive and negative, that stand out. There are
new routines, changes in how we live, work, communicate, shop, relax,
learn, and more. We all have seen stark images of police blockading
state borders, empty streets at midday in our cities, supermarkets during panic buying or opening with stripped
shelves. Then there are the more personal experiences - business
closures and work stand downs, learning to work from home or change our
daily routines.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span>There have also been the positive
experiences. Teddy bears and rainbows in windows, people standing at
the end of their driveways on ANZAC Day, clap for carers, support we
have received from friends colleagues and neighbors, the joy of getting
out and
about after lockdowns ease. For many of us the simple pleasures in life
have taken on new significance as we rediscover them after the trial of
lockdowns.</span></span></div><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span>Here are a few questions you might consider when recording your personal experiences of Covid-19.<br /></span></span></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span><span lang="EN" style="color: #222222;">What are you most grateful for during this covid-19

Many homes in the district were flooded, businesses closed, people evacuated, roads cut. The community pulled together magnificently to help each other sandbag and protect properties whenever they could. The impact was still enormous, especially in the small community of Rochester which saw the majority of homes and businesses flooded. 15 months later a significant proportion of residents are still living in caravans and temporary accommodation as they struggle to complete repairs to their homes. Again, the memories of this disaster need to be recorded. </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span><span lang="EN" style="color: #222222;">We have all been witness to history, and we should all be considering how we will record our memories and reactions to these events.<br /></span></span></span></p><div><p></p></div>Campaspe Libraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18387792741949112410noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2185189209563938229.post-42849273417110714142024-02-01T12:05:00.002+11:002024-02-02T08:24:45.874+11:00Hardwicke's Marriage Act of 1753<p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Hardwicke's Marriage Act 1753
was also titled ‘An Act for the better preventing of Clandestine Marriages’ and was the first statutory legislation in England and Wales to require a formal ceremony of marriage and to require that
formal ceremony to be conducted in the Church of England Parish Church. It was also a requirement of Hardwicke's Marriage Act that the union
was registered by a parson.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">During the 1740s, out of the approximately 47,000 marriages taking place in England,
6,000 took place outside of a parish church, and so it was felt that marriages should
be regulated in order to prevent so many clandestine marriages from taking
place.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Prior to Hardwicke's Marriage Act, the canon law of the Church of England stipulated that banns
should be called (which gave people the opportunity to raise objections
to the marriage) or a marriage licence should be obtained before a
marriage took place. Obtaining a marriage licence meant banns did not need to be called. It is worth noting that prior to the 1753 Act this
was not compulsory and a marriage was still considered valid even if it was not
celebrated in church. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">The Act came into force on 25th March 1754 and was read out in churches and
chapels on Sundays in 1753, 1754 and 1755 because a lot of people could
not read or write. </span></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">The main points of Hardwickes Marriage Act 1753</span></h2>
<ul><li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Before a couple could get married, banns had to be read out on
three consecutive Sundays or a marriage licence had to be obtained.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">If a person was under the age of 21, they required parental consent before they could legally marry</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Marriages
should be recorded in separate books which had numbered and ruled pages
so that no fraudulent entries could be made to the register.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">The entry should be signed by the minister, the couple and two witnesses.</span></li></ul>
<p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">If your ancestors were nonconformists (Methodists, Baptists, etc) they had to marry in a Church of England ceremony or their marriage would not be recognized legally and their children considered illegitimate. Quakers and Jews were exempt from this ruling and could marry in
their own places of worship. Members of the British Royal Family were
also exempt. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">If a member of the clergy was found to be breaking the Act’s new law, they could be sentenced to transportation for 14 years.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">The stipulations laid down by Hardwicke's Marriage Act 1753 meant that
many couples chose to marry in Gretna Green or other places in Scotland in order to get around the Act. The law was different in
Scotland where couples only had to declare their intent to marry in the
presence of two witnesses. This loophole was not closed in Scotland until the Act of 1856 which that declared that a couple could not marry in
Gretna Green (or elsewhere in Scotland) unless they had resided in the country for three weeks prior
to the date of the marriage.</span></p><p>Hardwicke's Marriage Act was repealed in 1849<span style="font-size: small;">.</span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"> <br /></span></p><p></p>Campaspe Libraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18387792741949112410noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2185189209563938229.post-87044323627253086902024-01-31T08:13:00.004+11:002024-02-28T10:26:14.240+11:00Who Do You Think You Are Magazine<p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">The

photographs from a variety of sources. Many are copies of photos held
by family members, while others have come from libraries and archives,
local history societies, distant relatives and heritage projects. While
the bulk of my collection are good digital scans I also have a number
of original photos that I have inherited. All my originals have been
scanned for future preservation and happily shared with fellow family
members. I have also detailed who, where and when in as much detail as I
can for each one - my pet hate is the anonymous photo of
nobody-knows-who included in an album of family members.</p><p>One of my favourite family photos is the one below of my father Peter
with his siblings and their father, Frank Walter Green. Dad was one of
10 children and to the best of my knowledge it is the only photo of all
10 siblings together, which makes the scanned image I have even more
precious. And yes, one of the brothers does have a beer bottle balanced
on his head! That would be Ernest, known to all as Squib, the second
eldest of the Green siblings. If there are any relatives out there who
have another photo of all 10 siblings together, I would love to hear
from you and am happy to share copies!</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsWLc6OPXdsQUDhuIPS0Kvq-_5MXl1p8FaJK-TVGwqrPWYAgWDrLlqBB6PGXKTkgdWyIXKr4XDepzhEnkJr4o4KfGZdcBiwMrm2o6nZ1adRM-6Qo_yS4xQE_RWUw2U27-dO41oJh_UM6XzHgFMEy1cwv5qnXRWRer3SeoelnPoRnCBk1vr9xs9g8JIHvVP/s2137/Green%20Family.%20%20L-R%20Back%20Les,%20Marj,%20Ern%20(Squib),%20Jess,%20Peter,%20Frank%20Jr,%20Olive,%20Nancy,%20%20Front%20Isobel,%20Frank%20Sr,%20Phyllis.%20%2022%20Nov%201965,%20Ros%20May's%20funeral..JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1602" data-original-width="2137" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsWLc6OPXdsQUDhuIPS0Kvq-_5MXl1p8FaJK-TVGwqrPWYAgWDrLlqBB6PGXKTkgdWyIXKr4XDepzhEnkJr4o4KfGZdcBiwMrm2o6nZ1adRM-6Qo_yS4xQE_RWUw2U27-dO41oJh_UM6XzHgFMEy1cwv5qnXRWRer3SeoelnPoRnCBk1vr9xs9g8JIHvVP/s320/Green%20Family.%20%20L-R%20Back%20Les,%20Marj,%20Ern%20(Squib),%20Jess,%20Peter,%20Frank%20Jr,%20Olive,%20Nancy,%20%20Front%20Isobel,%20Frank%20Sr,%20Phyllis.%20%2022%20Nov%201965,%20Ros%20May's%20funeral..JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />Another favorite is the wedding photo of my great great grandparents James Nicholas Clark and Pricilla Veronica Mulholland.

Aged 5 years old, this photograph was taken to be sent to my mothers older brother James, or Jimmy, in 1947. Jimmy was in the Merchant Navy at the time, and this photo chased him around the world before being delivered to his ship only days after he was killed in an accident in Argentina while they were picking up a load of horses to be taken to Poland. Jimmy is buried in Argentina, and the photo was returned to his mother in an unopened letter included in his effects, making the photo even more precious.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicyp5cKr_oRZHNzMd1w07vF5pfluZm5JlijMKTauov9OD4fVZ8GSzHVGWQTEkjciS5mNIvHMkeOICiswkBqPn_f9CzhwZAAUND-WyNNiz4mnYQZ8EH_q4lYRvIo5uluXM-P8IJBheHByXoaVqDNyRAfly1oN29ti38i93mbyzBZ7wjn3MBo5eywZu0bjvz/s1616/Pummeroy,%20Joy%20hand%20tinted%20studio%20portrait.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1011" data-original-width="1616" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicyp5cKr_oRZHNzMd1w07vF5pfluZm5JlijMKTauov9OD4fVZ8GSzHVGWQTEkjciS5mNIvHMkeOICiswkBqPn_f9CzhwZAAUND-WyNNiz4mnYQZ8EH_q4lYRvIo5uluXM-P8IJBheHByXoaVqDNyRAfly1oN29ti38i93mbyzBZ7wjn3MBo5eywZu0bjvz/s320/Pummeroy,%20Joy%20hand%20tinted%20studio%20portrait.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Campaspe Libraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18387792741949112410noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2185189209563938229.post-88092997635526267622024-01-27T08:57:00.001+11:002024-01-27T08:57:00.194+11:00Week 2 (Jan. 8-14): Origins<p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">The
prompt for this week is 'Origins', which tends to make me think of the
origins of my family in Australia, and why my ancestors made the
momentous decision to leave their homelands and families and make the
journey to Australia.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">On
my paternal side, our history in Australia is a short one. My father's
parents were born and married in England before deciding to try their
luck in Australia, arriving here in the early 20th century. They
arrived as a newly married couple, with all ten of their children born
in Australia. In their early years the family moved several times
around Victoria, with the children dispersing around the southern states
as they established their own families.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">On my mother's side our Australian origins go back further.<br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="background: white; color: #333333; line-height: 107%;">My great grandfather,
James Nicholas Clark, was born in Bristol,
England or possibly Launceston, Tasmania around 1856, just as the family emigrated to Australia.<span> </span>James’s younger sister Annie Amelia Clark was born 31
March 1857 in Port Sorrell, Tasmania, where the family lived for at least 12
years before they crossed Bass Strait and settled in Victoria.<span> </span><br /></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="background: white; color: #333333; line-height: 107%;">Then there is my German branch of the family tree. Carl Friedrich Beseler, known in Australia as Frederick, was born
around 1810 in Hanover, Germany.<span> </span>He was</span>
a shoemaker in Germany and a farmer in Australia, arriving in Adelaide on 1
April 1848 on the ship Pauline from Bremen, Germany.<span> </span>Passengers listed were Frederick Beseler,
Shoemaker, Mrs Beseler and 5 children.<span>
</span>The family lived in South Australia for 7 years before travelling
overland to Victoria, where they settled near Ercildown.<span> </span>Several members of the family are buried in
Learmonth Cemetery.<span> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">I
would like
to know what prompted these families, with young children in tow, to
pack up and move
halfway around the world, settle in one state of Australia, then pack up
and
move again several years later. Land in their homelands would have been
difficult and costly to acquire, so the prospect of cheap land for
farming may have been a big motivator in both cases. Many Germans also
emigrated for freedom from religious persecution.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Then
there are my Irish ancestors, who left Ireland a few years before the
potato famine. Again, I suspect Australia represented the chance for a
better life, a chance to own land and improve the family's living
conditions.</span></p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">For
whatever their reasons, my original Australian immigrant ancestors made
a huge leap of faith to leave their homelands and travel to a distant
country, most with little chance of returning to their homeland if their
new lives proved less than they hoped.</span><p></p>Campaspe Libraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18387792741949112410noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2185189209563938229.post-17534773116276353842024-01-24T08:55:00.002+11:002024-01-24T10:50:16.825+11:0052 Ancestors in 52 Weeks Blogging Challenge<p>This year I have once again decided to participate in the 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks blogging challenge run by Amy Johnson Crow. I have done this challenge a few times in the past, and although I an a few weeks late in starting I hope to catch up fairly quickly.</p><p>On to week one (January 1-7), the prompt for which if 'Family Lore'.</p><p>I have always enjoyed listening to the family stories told by my parents and other family members, and have several notebooks filled with a variety of stories, many told from the perspective of multiple family members. </p><p>Once I started researching in earnest, I set about finding any records for many of the stories I had been told, and was able to prove - and disprove - some of them. Others generated no official records and remain family lore. The best were anecdotal, bringing to life details of my family's lives that without the stories I would know nothing about.</p><p>A favourite is my maternal grandmother's first visit to my parents after they married. My mother was a city girl, born in the Melbourne suburb of Brighton. Grandmother was born in Brighton, married there, lived her entire life there, and died there. At the time of my mother's marriage, my grandmother had never been further north than the Melbourne City Baths.</p><p>In her early 20s my mother 'went bush', leaving Melbourne to take up a post as a governess on a remote sheep station near the rural town Mildura, over 500km north of Melbourne. It is here that she met my father, and after their marriage moved to the sheep station 'Para' where my father worked. Situated on the Darling River, Para was approximately an hour's drive north-east of Mildura, much of the drive on dirt roads. For my grandmother, mum might as well have been living on another planet.</p><p>When my sister was born, Grandmother decided it was time to visit her daughter and new granddaughter, so she boarded a train and made the journey to Mildura, where my parents met her for the drive out to the station homestead.</p><p>I have heard the story of this journey from my father, mother and grandmother. All agree on the shock my grandmother felt at the distance and isolation. The open spaces daunted her and the concept of the nearest neighbor being almost 30 minutes away was utterly foreign. 'Are we there yet?' was frequently asked. It was a complete culture shock.</p><p>Grandmother eventually reconciled herself to my mother's choice to live in country areas, and was much mollified when my parents moved to the town of Moama (at least we had proper neighbors and decent plumbing!), and was a regular visitor throughout my childhood. The story of her first visit, however, remains a favourite part of our family lore.<br /></p>Campaspe Libraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18387792741949112410noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2185189209563938229.post-52055244745220477472024-01-22T08:28:00.001+11:002024-01-22T08:28:00.152+11:00Explore Your Genealogy<p><a href="https://www.exploreyourgenealogy.co.uk/">Explore Your Genealogy</a> is an educational website developed by
