  • 2010 Winter Newsletter.PDF
    CLARE REGIONAL HISTORY GROUP NEWSLETTER WINTER - 2010 ________________________________ Churches Lost or Saved by Conversion! The early European settlers in the Colony of South Australia brought with them much faith. Faith in a new beginning; faith in political and religious freedom; faith in a better future for their children. As still evidenced by the many churches and chapels that enhance the towns, villages and countryside of the Clare Valley they brought with them implicit faith in Christianity. This was a diverse faith as many settlers, being free to do so, followed the beliefs of their past experiences. Whilst some of the diversity has lessened, much remains and is evidenced by the variety of church buildings remaining. A Church Lost - Wesleyan Chapel, later Methodist Church, Penwortham c.1890 In the vey early times these were simple, humble gathering places but as fortunes improved more substantial structures were built. In this Winter 2010 edition of our Newsletter we look at some of those that have been lost and some of those that have been converted. The churches, lost, converted or remaining and the congregations that have gathered within them over the past 160 years are a vital part of our history and heritage.

  • Flower, Humphrys, Smith & Thomas Family Ancestry, 1717-2015 From
    SAMPLE only - ie only the first page of each section displayed. Flower, Humphrys, Smith & Thomas Family Ancestry, 1717-2015 from Somerset & Cornwall UK to South Australia including Clarence Humphrys WW1 diary 1916-1917 Pencil Sketch by Clement Humphrys, c1930. Neil D Brooks 1 SAMPLE only - ie only the first page of each section displayed. Forward to the book “Flower, Humphrys, Thomas, Smith Ancestry”. Having compiled the book “Redruth Cornwall to The Burra SA”, I wish to stress the importance of compiling family historic records. Following the publication of my book, I was invited to an annual get-together by the “Genealogy Society of South Australia”, of those who published family histories during the year. They commented on each particular publication, offered helpful advice, and stressed the importance of such records, not only of the family records but the inclusion of the early development of the area of white settlement. The period we are looking at is from about late 1840’s, South Australia was proclaimed in 1836 and records were not very meticulously kept in those early years. Burra was the largest town outside of Adelaide at that time in South Australia. Many came from Cornwall in particular to work in the mine, but sought to find a livelihood in other industries such and farming and grazing. As the Humphrys book links with the Thomas history it fills a valuable record of that branch of the family. Of course each book follows a particular line of a family such as the Thomas descendants, so this researches the Humphrys family from 1717, for which they were fortunate to be able to trace that far back.
