March 1993 177 Tasmanian Ancestry EDITORIAL
Another year has gone by and hundreds more records have been lodged world-wide to file away the human comings and goings on this earth of ours. Did you make that New Year resolution to finish the family history and see it in print? This year the Launceston Branch is running the Family History Award (entries close in March); what better opportunity to complete your family's life story. In this edition we have some very interesting articles for you. Did you have a nickname in earlier years? I did. I was given a horror while I was nursing. More recently a friend at church gave me a much nicer one which most friends there use but the GST friends don't know about it., Not all nicknames were friendly though. Many derived from unfortunate circumstances or old attitudes to the mental and physical state, habits or mode of employment. Some of our surnames developed in this way. Joan Cantwell has a few things to say on the subject and about "Old Bloomer". We continue the letters 'home from the Searle brothers, the World War I soldiers in Egypt. We hear the first instalment was very well received. The Gould Country cemetery list has been included with some informative notes on the families in residence in there. There is an article on the Carrickfergus Gaol, County Antrim where some convicts were held before being sent to Van Diemen's Land. This is only a few of the aricles but they makes interesting reading. The journal typists have made a supreme effort and managed to get all the members interests up to date so there are extra pages for us all. Huon Branch is making preparations for the Annual General Meeting in June when we all(?) gather together for our yearly meeting. From all accounts the Huon ladies are busily making lots of apple pies, strudels and turnovers for us all so make a point to be there. Keep the contributions coming in for our special edition on family businesses later in the year and does anyone have a flair for cartoons. Our journal needs a little light refreshment in these repressed times. This is a very short editorial note but I have been somewhat indisposed and out of touch in these last few months. A good New Year to you all. Jenny Gill, Associate Editor.
Tasmanian Ancestry 178 March 1993 PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Welcome to 1993. To commence this year the State Executive have decided to dedicate the week of 14th-20th March 1993 as a Family History Week. All branches have been asked to participate in organising various activities. Members should check with their local branch on what activities are being conducted. Unknown by us when setting the date our week is to be followed by Heritage Week. St. Catherines House Indexes ( 1868-191 I) are now circulating around branches. A further I I years ( 1912-1922) have been ordered but a decision whether to purchase beyond this date has been deferred until branches can seek the opinions of members. Do we need or want to purchase beyond 1922? Family History Award - Remember entries close for this Award (Book Published since 1990) on 3 I st March 1993 . Launceston Branch have agreed to administer the award for 1993 and any enquiries can be made direct to that Branch. UK Bank Account - State Treasurer Mr G Thom is still investigating avenues to assist members and branches with purchases in the U.K. During November 1992 the Tasmanian Fellowship of First Fleeters and Norfolk Islanders conducted the unveiling of a CAIRN in St. Davids Hobart. Although the weather was not the best. I along with others of the Hobart Branch attended its unveiling. The Cairn together with a time capsule will be a legacy for our future generations. They say that Tasmania is a small place, but it was definitely fate and the will of God for a Melbourne visitor during the Christmas break. Because of slightly inclement weather. my husband and I. along with fellow member Irene Schaffer, took a drive through a Forestry Commission road from Copping to Orford. Along the way we noticed a lone grave and decided to stop there on our way back. Upon the return journey we stopped at this grave site, and were met by a friend of mine who had been transporting his Melbourne daughter around graveyards. Yes, you guessed it. She was a fellow genealogist, who had only that morning written down the address of the Hobart Branch library. Added to this, she was researching a family name that I had an interest in and one that Irene had just that week finished doing some research on. She was given our phone numbers and a visit to our library was arranged later that week. Also on this visitor's list of things to do was to purchase several books. One was Land Grants & Musters for which Irene was able to assist. Another was Alex Buchanan's Index to Tasmanian Births/Baptisms 1803-1840, which we were able to assist at the Hobart Branch Library. All in all this lady ended up joining the GST and spent around $67.00 at our branch library. Denise McNeice. President

CO-ORDINATORS' REPORTS
T.A.M.1.0. T. The converting of the T.A.M.1.0.T file back into their original individual files has been completed; I am now in the process of making every source name consistent. The duplicated records are being removed; there are many, especially in the larger files. Entries from war memorials have been placed into a separate file, as these do not necessarily contain death dates. They could be produced on a separate fiche, as a part of the set. Would our members who attend their local church, hall, or R.S.L. procure the permission of whoever is in charge, record the inscriptions on all their plaques etc. and give them to their local T.A.M.1.0.T. Co-ordinator. Anyone having a clear photo of an old stone, that is either now illegible, or has disappeared from its source; or not transcribed correctly, is asked to give a photo-copy to their co-ordinator with the name of the cemetery where it was located. Please give details of the present condition of the memorial, ie: stone damaged, broken, illegible, lost, or transcription incorrect. Thank you. Westbury General Cemetery, (Church of England, but burials are mixed) has been completed, and Moorina will be printed shortly. Betty Calverley, T.A.M.1.0.T Co-ordinator
Tasmanian Ancestry 180 March 1993 INTEREST GROUP REPORTS
Van Diemen's Land Norfolk Island Membcrshir continues to grow and from the number of letters and rhone calls received the grour has achieved what it set out to do. That was to give those who arc interested in early Tasmanian and Norfolk Island history a chance to exchange ideas and learn not only more about their own family hut also about their way of life during those first twenty years. Mcmhershir is still orcn. Suhscrirtions arc $I 0 rcr year. A newsletter is sent out four times a year. 1-:xcursions throughout Tasmania arc held three times a year. For more information contact Irene Schaffer 23a Montagu Street. New Town Tasmania 7008. The November t:xcursion (Bridges and Buildings, Hobart to Broadmarsh) was attended by 27 members. We were not as lucky as on our rrevious five excursions, as it turned out to be a rather wet day. This was the first one day tour in the outer districts and because of the difficulty of parking our many cars at each place we stop, it has been decided to hire a bus for the March trip. Excursions for 1993 28 March Kemrton, Jericho, Colebrook and Richmond July Hobart November Hobart to Campbell Town Booklets contributed by our members have been a great success and are selling well. They have been kept to about 15-20 pages and the subjects vary from shipping li sts to rersonal stories about early settlers. The cost has been down to between $2 and $5 and from the interest shown there is a need for these types of books. A folder containing some of these booklets has been given to each of the five branches of the Society. It is horcd that in the future more books of this tyre will be written by Society members. The latest contributions are 14. Cart Licences 1826-1831 Northern Tasmania $3.50 15. John Psyche "Handsome John" $3.50 16. Lady Egomania 1862 $3.50 A full list is available on request.

With the help of Francis Dooley, our life-sized convict, great interest was generated among the public who were al so interested in seeing the types of rernrds which arc available at the branch library. Our thanks go to Frances Yates for creating Francis Dooley. Fund raising activities have continued. An outdoor stall was held at the recent Don Market. The Christmas Hamper Raffle was well supported and the winner was R. Harris, Launceston. Money raised from these activities will go towards the purchase of a new photocopier.

Isaac Chapple was the adopted son of John and Mary Treloggen and came to St. Helens with the family in 1852. He worked for some time with the Warland family at Goshen before taking up land himself on the western side of the Groom River. CHARLESWORTH FAMILY. Edwin Moorhouse Charlesworth arrived in the early 1880s taking up residence at the Blue Tier and later at Lottah in the good days of the Anchor Mine. He managed several branch stores throughout the district and was for many years a Justice of the Peace. COLTHEART FAMILY. The Coltheart family lived in Lottah where the father was the manager of Mac Michael's Store for many years. COOPER FAMILY. Joseph Cooper came to Goulds Country and worked for blacksmith Arthur Hodge as a wheelwright.

'The family were among the early arrivals coming to St Helens per the Robert Burns in company with other venturesome miners. Mac Duncombe became one of the first miners to work on the Cambria Mine. FITZGERALD FAMILY. The Reverend W. G. Fitzgerald in his article "Conquerors of Rugged North East" claims William Henry Fitzgerald was the son of Captain Fitzgerald R.N., Tasmania's first school teacher who was drowned in the Derwent. This is unsubstantiated and needs further research. Assume this to be Thomas Fitzgerald, convict ( 1777 - 1824) who married Mary Agnes Martin, widow of a Royal Naval Surgeon, Abraham Martin. William Henry Fitzgerald went to Victoria c 1851 in search of gold, apparently successfully. He returned to Green Ponds (Kempton) where he married Harriet Gunyon. They lived at Green Ponds for some time ( 1869) until they went to Goulds Country with their family. GAYLON FAMILY. No Details. GOUGH FAMILY. Frank Gough, a butcher from London, after working at his trade in Prahan (Vic.) and at Smith and Hutchinson 's in Launceston moved first to Lottah as a hotel Licencee, but soon left and became a 'Tin Scratcher". Later he moved to Goulds Country and subsequently to Zeehan. GRIGG FAMILY. William Bowe Grigg was the Licencee of the Goulds Country Hotel (Travellers Arms) for many years. GUNYON FAMILY. James Gunyon was the brother of Harriet Fitzgerald (wife of William Fitzgerald) who came from Kempton and selected on the west side of the Fitzgerald property. HALL FAMILY. Alfred Hall arrived in 1876 and selected land in Goulds Country. He later started a saw mill at Goulds Country. one of the original mills. HITCHCOCK FAMILY. No Details. HODGE FAMILY. Arthur Hodge was a nephew of William Henry Fitzgerald. He came from Tea Tree in 1881 , opening a blacksmith's shop on Fitzgerald's property. I le Tasmanian Ancestry 196 March 1993 married Caroline Yost and built a house nearby. Arthur Hodge had already played many and varied parts in the general activities of Australia. He was a noted shearer on the mainland. a "navvy" who helped to'punch' the tunnel through at Flat Top on the mainline. a champion pugilist and as a miner he unearthed the alluvial deposits of the Anchor Mine and the Puzzle deposits. As a general mechanic, vet, and farmer his services were much sought after and he participated in local public administration under several headings. HOLLAND FAMILY. The Holland family originally came from the County of Oxfordshire. first associating themselves with Falmouth and then moving to Lottah with the first miners. They finally settled down to farming. JOHNSTON FAMILY. The first of the .Johnston clan to come to Tasmania was Isabella who came out with her husband Alexander Munro and settled in the Blackmarsh (Bothwell) area. After her husband died, her brother John came out to help her and her family on the farm, only to find she had married again. John married a Bothwell girl and soon after moved to Goulds Country. John's brothers, Murdock, James and Alexander followed to Tasmania along with their father William, all going to Goulds Country. John opened a general store and a Post Office. MCGOUGH FAMILY. One of the first families in the Lottah area searching for tin . OLDHAM FAMILY.

ROBINSON FAMILY. Captain Robinson was a part owner of the Anchor Mine who occupied a new house on the Gunyon property. After he left Goulds Country, his widowed sister-in-law (Margaret Robinson) occupied the house and opened a general store. STEEL FAMILY. Percy William first arrived in the district in 1880. In 1905 he was listed as a butcher. In later years he became a member of the local Road Trust at St. Helens; eventually moving farther in he entered the Road Trust at Goulds County, and at the level of local government was Chairrnan of that Board, and finally first Warden of Portland under Municipal Government. He was a Coronrr of the State and Local Government Land Valuer. STYLES FAMILY. The Styles family arrived at Pyengana in the early 1900's and farmed in that area. TERRY FAMILY. See Pyengana entry, Tasmanian Ancestry, December 1992, pl42. TRELOGGEN FAMILY. See Duncombe family above. It is not known which Treloggen Alice Duncombe married. The Treloggen family moved to St.Helens in 1852 and farrned several large properties in that area. March 1993 197 Tasmanian Ancestry TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. Selected on land at Goulds Country and rebuilt the Travellers Arms Hotel ( 1907), almost opposite Johnston's store, leaving a small area in front for a village green. WHITE FAMILY. The White family came from the Oatlands area and settled at Lottah, some members running boarding houses at both Lottah and Goulds Country. WILKIE FAMILY. No details. WILLIAMS FAMILY.

Starting with the Aboriginal tribes who lived in the area and left evidence of their existence in the middens to be found at Badger Head, West Arm etc. It makes you wonder what they thought when Bass and Flinders and Colonel Patterson dropped anchor in their fishing areas. As you know, York Town lasted only a short while. Patterson left a convict in charge of the settlement and tbe man died in 1870. Many years later his descendants had a clean up and burnt all the rubbish. One elderly man said to me "you should have seen the signatures on the papers". As he said, in those days they did not know letters and papers like that were valuable. Not only papers disappeared. One of our Grubb Shaft Museum minders told me that soldiers' uniforms (Redcoats) were stolen from York Town when he was a boy. His comment was "He wished he'd pinched them himself!" We have very few relics from York Town in our Museum: 3 bricks. a pair of spectacles and a 6ft length of iron post, supposed to be part of the Colonel's garden fence. It is such an improbable looking object to take to the ends of the earth that it is probably genuine. The settlement area is in private hands. the cellar area was cleared and new houses have been built on the land across the York Town Rivulet. In 1841 fresh vegetables were for sale at Clarence Point; no doubt a welcome addition to the meals provided to passengers on the sailing ships entering the Tamar. Edward Dally settled at llfraeombe where he employed splitters and sawyers. He also had 25km of road cleared from llfracombc to the main road between Launceston and Supply Flats. Mining started early in the Bcaconslicld area: in I X20 convicts were sent from (icorgc Town to Middle Arm to burn lime. Iron was mined from I X72 until I X77 at various sites including Mount Vulcan and llfracombc. Thistlcy Bottom was a small township close handy to II fracombc - it even had a pub. The area is now a form and one paddock is still called the Pub Paddock. (iold was discovered in I X77. A fascinating read is an article 111 the Telegraph newspaper titled "The Rush to Brandy ( ·reek " . River steamers brought hordes ol" visitors who shamelessly sorted through the mullock heaps and went home with good specimens. Dwellings l(ir the residents in the early years were tents. bullswool (stringy hark) huts. log and chink huts. paling buildings 1\ilh 110 windows .. with calico \\'i11do1\. with gl Tasmanian Ancestry 200 March llJlJ3 dropped in the water. Later the Governor found out that the official welcoming party was waiting for him at Bowen's Jetty - he missed them by half a mile! Beaconsfield's brick mine buildings were erected at the tum of the century. A director visiting from England was not amused at the size of them and said "I thought we were digging for gold". 1,050,00 bricks were used and the fire bricks lining the ash chutes in the boiler house were made in Victoria. Buildings made of brick were rare in the town. A photo in the Museum showing a very large two-storey house caused a very lively argument among the committee whether it was or was not in Weld Street. According to 92 year old Jack Brown it was in Weld Street and had been Dr. Graham's house. He also said that in later years Mr. Jensen pulled the house down and used some of the bricks to build Rosalind Hall at Beauty Point. Mr. Jensen was a colourful character who built the Beauty Point Hotel, planted the first orchard in the area and was a member of Parliament - on both sides of the House at various times. Water has always been a problem in the Beaconsfield mine. Reports in the newspapers indicate just what a problem it was. The water would burst through and rapidly fill the lower levels of the mine. Waste hot water from the boilers was a bonus for my Grandmother Lamb. The family lived over the road from the mine gates and she collected hot water pouring through a pipe into the gutter. Waste not want not! The boilers were another problem for the mine too. At first they were wood fired, then coal was brought from Newcastle to keep them going. The late Joe Page, a miner, told me that it cost 2,000 pounds a month for coal; it was so expensive it was like feeding strawberries to pigs! The ore mined underground was sent off to the battery at Middle Arm in trucks pulled by an electric engine. A tunnel went from the mine. under Douglas Street and continued on to the battery. When my mother was a child she could hear the trucks rumbling underneath their house during the night. The line still holds a fascination for some people. Mr. Dick Hope. who lives in Queensland, is hoping to prove that Beaconsfield had the first electrified line in Australia. Gold stealing was tried by some miners, not always successfully. One man was supposed to have returned to the town, went out in the middle of the night and found his hoard had gone. On the other hand the town was well supplied with Temperance groups - Sons of Temperance, Daughters of Temperance, Invincible Lodge of Good Templars, Crystal Spring Lodge of Good Templars of the World, Odd Fellow, Band of Hope and Junior Templars. They had a Boxing Day Procession in 1884; 300 of them with banners and insignia of office. The first bank robbery in 1888 is well documented. A tale passed down through the years had someone pleased the robbers were caught because the next job planned was to hold up the gold coach. The second robbery was in 1925. A letter is in the Museum describing the robbery; the writer was the young bank teller at the time. He gives a blow by blow description of the attempt but could not say who the robber was. At the end of the letter he said you can not mention names! March 1993 201 Tasmanian Ancestry Tales of Beaconsfield abound. In 1977, when information was wanted for the book Town With A Historv by Coultman Smith, we had some of the former residents taped. I have also heard how the first residents washed their clothes and household items in Blythe's Creek and hung them on the bushes to dry. The picnics to Beauty Point were an exciting outing. Wyatt's train was used as transport but someone I know went off to the point on the spruced up sanitary cart. Her father said "A second class ride beats a first class walk." My great-grandmother Emma lived in a cottage behind the Methodist Church. An elderly relative remembered her sitting on the verandah shelling peas while church was in . Someone else told me he knew the cemetery inside out! A tale about Wyatt's train had it slowing down as it neared the Exchange Hotel, one of the crew would hop off, run in the back door, have a beer and run out the front door to get on the train again. At the Museum we are continually asked for information about the people and the district. One query concerned a place called the Silver Mines, near Winkleigh. An ex- resident told me that the Winkleigh people cut timber for the Victorian goldmines. So they said it was goldfields over there and a "silver mine" here with the money they made from selling timber. The name was in use for a while so there may be some other explanation for it. Beaconsfield residents came from many countries: England. Wales. Scotland as well as China, Europe, America and Ireland. Their descendants. who come to Beaconsfield looking for the families. get a lot of pleasure when we can produce an entry in our Butcher's Book, show them a photo or tell them a tale.

Joan Cantwell Whilst pondering on some of the past residents of my home town recently, it occurred to me that quite a number had what was known as nicknames. Now according to my modest Chambers Shorter English Dictionary, a nickname is one "given in sportive familiarity", and from Middle English, eke name, additional name. Or back to the Old English eac, in addition to, likewise. In our present somewhat earnest society, this old custom has almost disappeared. No doubt there were ｩｮｴ･ｲｾｳｴｩｮｧＬ＠ intriguing and humorous reasons for bestowing these names on the individuals concerned, but these are now lost to us, as are, sadly, the recipients. So bearing all this in mind I decided to make a list of some I remember, and some I have only heard of. But before proceeding I do emphasise that none of these names were in anyway derogatory. During the 1850s, a character known as "Long Mick" roamed this district. Probably tall, he was certainly an Irishman from Enniskillcn, in fact an ex-convict. He was charged with, and found guilty of murder and hanged in 1857. In his case a wrongful conviction, as the district residents well knew. The actual murderer did confess to the crime, when he was an old man, but far too late to benefit "Long Mick". But thereby hangs another tale. Also back in the mists of time was "Old Boomer" who lived in a small cottage at the southern end of the township. He was also an ex-convict. Small two roomed dwellings were provided by the authorities of the time for elderly ex-convicts. During the 1940s, a headmaster of the local school was known to his reluctant pupils as "Pussy", probably shortened from "Pussyfoot" because of his, to us, quite unjust habit of sneaking up to classroom doors and invariably catching us doing anything but our lessons. His success rating was high, and punishment instant. We also had, at the time, a dear old Church of England Rector visiting the school weekly in an endeavour to instil the scriptures into the unreceptive students. Unfortunately, he shared the same surname as a popular country and western singer of the time, one Tex. The Rectors success rating was low. And we had Chinky and Chonky, with no family connection. Bungy and Soda, with some connection. Simmy and Skittles were brothers, as were Happy and Funny, (usually shortened to Hap and Fun) and Dundy and Gick, whose given names were Lambert and Laurence. Slippery Dick and Gilly Guy were related, as were Spriggy and Speck. Not so were Twat, Snowy, Pompy or Pinto. Stony was, logically, a stonemason, and Rubber exceptionally supple. We had Old Mick and Young Mick, neither named Michael, but father and son. We still have Tasmanian Ancestry 212 March 1993 Young Mick. I had twin great uncles, known as Old Scot and Sonny. The 'o' in Sonny being as that. and not as 'u'. They were, in fact, Charles and John. There was Brusher, an Anzac of World War I, who served his country at Gallipoli and in France and spent three years as a prisoner-of-war in Germany, where he learned to bake bread. A trade he carried on for many years in this town and a talented comet player, which really came to the fore on Anzac Days. We still have a few, Sugar, Skeeter, Dido, Midge - 6 ft - and Buster. And last but not least, are Tam, Tern and Tim (given names) all sharing a family name, the latter two father and son. This trio conmses newcomers to the town no end. All the aforementioned are, of course, male. So what of the fairer sex? It appears that nicknames were not bestowed so liberally on us. Apart from two Totties and Tiny (small people), Dutty and Pip., I have been unable to dredge any from the depths of my memory box. Plenty of abbreviations of Christian names but these cannot be classed as an actual nickname. I am sure all country· towns have had their fair share of these names, and it would be interesting to hear of those that people still remember.

Research for family history in Northern Ireland has led to an unusual development, forging what could be a unique link between Van Diemen's Land and Carrickfergus in County Antrim. While evaluating material in her role as historical research officer, Helen Rankin discovered a link between the district and convicts transported to the colony. Her research was based on the background of the local gaol. It was discovered that Helen's office is located in the building which replaced the gaol in the Army Ordinance Stores and Barracks. The whole site is in the process of being converted into a new heritage centre. From reports uncovered while working on research on the background and history of the County Antrim Gaol at Carrickfergus, many references have been found relating to prisoners tried at the local assizes, who were later sent to Dublin on their way to Van Diemen's Land. While her research is still to be completed, Helen has decided to try and build this fact into a feature as part of the new heritage project. She is searching for descendants of any convict who may have been tried at the assizes and sent to Van Diemen's Land, with the intention of building a family profile, to form part of a historical display so that Irish locals and visitors can "find out what happened to some of those sent out here." Some records to come to light include an Inspector of Prisons report dated March 6, 1839. "Total confined to Jail - 222". In February 14 male convicts left Carrickfergus for Dublin on their way to Van Diemen 's Land. Other reports have been dated in the period between 1834 to 1849. Carrickfergus is a former garrison town, with a population of 30,000. Its history dates back to the 6th century, with the predominant period of Norman influence being revealed in the town's fabled castle, built 1180, that dominates the landscape. It was a landing spot for William of Orange in 1690 and in 1992 is a flourishing seaside town. History plays an important role in the life of the town; this is strongly supported by the local borough council. Helen Rankin corresponds with her penfriend, member Kaye Williams and she asks if any reader has knowledge of a convict link with the Co. Antrim Assizes at Carrickfergus, and is interested in forging this link, could they please contact Kaye on (003) 93 6121 or write to 4 Oaks Road, Carrick. Tas. 7291 . Tasmanian Ancestry 214 March 1993 DID YOU KNOW? Thelma Grunnell We are often urged to use our local library resources to flesh out our own family history on the area in which our ancestors lived, and in the course of so doing odd little facts are gleaned which while perhaps having no direct bearing on our research provide fascinating glimpse of past customs. How did "pot hole" and "wet your whistle" come into usage? Before the Midland potteries grew from cottage industry to larger more commercial concerns, the labourers set up their own backyard kilns and took clay from wherever it lay . Often the roads of the time were a generous source: hence the word "pothole" was coined. How uncomfortable a coach journey must have been on such roads! In some hostelries or local drinking dens the tankards had a whistle built into the lower end of the handle. On lowering the liquid to a level which called for an impending refill the customer had a convenient way to attract the attention of the barman or maid, to the fact that a further order was imminent. The lips having been already well lubricated, gave rise to the phrase "wetting your whistle". How did the Lincolnshire levels come into being and why are the roads through the Fen country raised at such a height from the level of the surrounding countryside? Which paper mill in the Stour valley specializes in the manufacture of tracing paper so flawless that for some purposes it is the only source of supply in the world? In which city did many I OOO's of Walloon and Huguenot weavers gain permission to settle during the religious wars of 16 and 17th century France and Low Countries? At one period there were upwards of 2000 looms in production which provided a welcome boost to the economy. SOURCES:- Everyman 's England by Bryn Frank, ISBN 0-460-04553-9 Hammond Innes' East Anglia.

Lemon Tree Vol. 7, No. 4, Dec 1992 issue (from the Tilligerry Family History Society) shows how newspaper cuttings can help with tracing family hi stori es. An item in a Young (NSW) paper in 1928 mcmtioned that residents from Young were seeking a Tasmanian fortune. Thomas John Butler White who arrived in Tasmania in 1812 was granted land at Bagdad. At the time of his death his two sons had moved to Young in NSW and the land owned by White at Bagdad was claimed by the Government when the owners could not be found.

March 1993 217 Tasmanian Ancestry Extracts from Irish Roots Denise McNeice During Christmas I borrowed from the Hobart Branch Library the Journal Irish Roots, one of the journals which Hobart Branch subscribes to. Each volume has regular sections on Irish Archives and Byways: A look at lesser used sources (This article is intended to introduce readers to sources which are much undervalued - probably because it is patchwork). The following is some ,brief details of some articles I found very interesting and have been taken from nos. I, 2 and 3. Irish Archives No. I - The Genealogical Office is a natural focus for people attempting to trace their roots; as such, it is the obvious place to start our series on Irish Archives. This article concentrates on a recent innovation at that office; The Consultancy Service. (No. I) " Research Ireland 1992" - This I found a most informative article. Comprehensive information on the main Irish Archives and Heritage Centres - Names, addresses, opening times etc. (No. 2) "Surnames of County Waterford" - this article looks at the list of principal surnames in one county (Waterford) and examines the history of some of them. Using the register of live births for the year 1890, Matheson gives a list of the commonest surnames in County Waterford. (No. I) "Surnames of County Meath" - gives a detailed li st of surnames and the number of times each name occurs in the birth register for Meath for 1890 (No. 2) "Surnames of County Wexford" (No. 3) "Byways" - Details what the papers of a well-run estate might contain, using the Coolattin estate of the Earls Fitzwilliam as an example (No. I). In the next issue of "Roots" the author attempts to offer a guide to readers trying to locate their own family in such records. "Irish World" - is a registered charity specialising in heritage information and family history. It was set up in 1984 to help improve employment prospects, and today engages in a wide-ranging programme of research, training, publishing and genealogical services. Willie O'Kane, Publications Officer with Irish World, looks at the genesis of the organisation to date. (No. I) "Pedigree Prices" - The Clare Heritage Centre situated in Corofin, County Clare, has been providing a full genealogical service for that country for many years. As one of the first fully-functioning family research centres in Ireland, it is used as a model by counties with less developed facilities. Therefore, it is worth taking a closer look at this prototype. Source Material at Corofin includes: Tasmanian Ancestry 218 March 1993 I. Index of all available Catholic Church records, 46 Clare parishes (pre 1900) 2. Index to all available Church of Ireland records, I 0 parishes. 3. Index to 1901 Census. 4 . Birth, Deaths and Marriages from Clare Journal ( 1779-1900) 5. Access to Civil records of births, deaths and marriages ( 1864) 6. Details of various convict trials plus many others (no. I) "Mayo Research Centre Opens" - Searching for roots in Co. Mayo? Mayo North Family History Research and Heritage Centre is the designated genealogical centre for North Mayo. The Centre holds indexes to Church records of all denominations, as well as a wealth of other genealogical data. Experienced researchers prepare each report. Write to them for a research form at: Enniscoe, Catlehill, Ballina, Co. Mayo. (No. 2) "The Australian Share", by Dr Jennifer Harrison, reviews the Irish involvement in Australia' s two hundred year history. (No. I) "A Willing Community" by Dr. Jennifer Harrison tells the story of Irish immigration to Moreton Bay while it was still part of New South Wales (No. 2) and continues in volume 3. "A letter home" - Transportation to Australia may not have been so much a punishment as a reward, as evidenced by a letter dated 1835 from John Conner NSW - letter reprinted in journal. (No. 3) ''Guidebook Guide" part one - Once upon a time in the dim, distant part, Irish genealogy was a confusing maze with nothing to lead the uninitiated through.

Members with Black Country (an industrial area of South West Staffordshire and North Worcestershire) interests should consult this file which has been painstakingly compiled by Margaret Walker from entries in The Black Country Bugle and is regularly added to. Slightly different from the usual members' interests lists, many of those being sought could be still living and many of the seekers state that they themselves are of advanced years - potentially good for family information concerning earlier generations. Jo Keen. National Register of' Shipping Arrivals: Australia and New Zealand, Andrew G. Peake, Editor, published by the· Australasian Federation of Family History Organisations, Sydney, 1992, 58pp., AS, soft cover. Available from the AFFHO, c/- 120 Kent Street, Sydney, NSW 2000 for $7.00 plus $1.00 p&h. This is the third edition of a very useful guide which brings together a chronological listing of the materials available relating to the arrival by ship of people to each state and territory of Australia and to New Zealand. A brief introduction outlines the history of each area and describes the various categories of arrivals by sea e .g. convicts, free, assisted immigrants, unassisted immigrants, military personnel, civil servants etc. The listings includes a brief description of th e records, the record repository where they are held and the relevant reference number. Records from both primary and secondary sources are listed and they include such records as passenger lists, compiled indexes and passenger cards together with other records (such as musters) that provide information relating to shipping arrivals. A good bibliography and a useful list of addresses completes this volume making it an essential reference for all family hi storians trying to trace the arrival of their ancestors. Tasmanian Historical Research Association Papers and Proceedings. Vol 39 no. I, published by THRA, Hobart, March 1992, 60pp. This volume contains ten of the eleven (the eleventh having already been published in the Launceston Historical Society's Papers and Proceedings) papers presented at the Tasmanian Tapestry Conference held in Hobart on 21 September 1991 . The papers were presented by speakers from a number of historical societies in Tasmania; from Circular Head to Tasman Peninsula. A wide range of topics arc covered and everyone should find something of interest in this slim volume. Of particular to family historians are papers on the Northern Tasmanian Home for Boys, ticket-of-leavers in 1861 , cab driving in early I lobart and a bibliographic survey of Bothwell. Anne Bartlett Tasmanian Ancestry 222 March 1993 World of Work: Work in Tasmania: a Guide to Resource Collections, by Kim Pearce, Melbourne, National centre for Australian Studies, Monash University, 1992. 87pp. $20.00 (paperback). This is the Tasmanian contribution to the series of guides to sources sponsored by CRASTE (Committee to Review Australian Studies in Tertiary Education), to complement an existing volume, Working Victoria. Other CRASTE guides deal with the Hunter valley, South Australia and Western Australia. The guides were prepared in order to help educators access local and regional materials in preparing Australian Studies programmes. They are not intended to be exhaustive, but to initiate a process of orderly data collection around the vital topic of work. Kim Pearce points out that his volume does not attempt to identify all available avenues of research but tries to provide an overview of resources held in the major public collections in Tasmania. and that the contents of his guide arc inevitably selective. His ten page introduction outlines both primary and secondary sources and is a useful read in its own right. The guide deals with documents, maps, plans. photographs and, in some instances, with artefacts and oral history tapes. I found it fascinating to dip into this volume and discover the enormous variety of work-related records. Quotations are often given to provide the flavour of the record series. Like other good guides to sources, this is a valuable and time saving production, and should be on every serious researcher's bookshelf. A copy is available in the Hobart Branch Library.

I Jo Keen. oOo Dating Old Photos, Robert Pols March 1992, 83pp., A5. soli cover, £4.65 surface mail. Most family historians have, tucked away in a cupboard, a box of old photos which may or may not depict relatives. There appear to be family likenesses but we cannot match names to the faces. If we knew when and where they were taken, we would have a much better chance of solving the puzzle. In his slim volume, Robert Pols gives a wealth of practical advice to assist in dating and identifying old photographs. He has written it in an English context but as the spread of photographic techniques and fashions has always been very rapid, the tips he gives apply quite well in this country. And, anyway, we may well have tucked away photos taken in England and brought out by our ancestors or sent out by relatives. He is particularly helpful in his discussion of nineteenth century techniques and how identifying the type of photo can assist in working out its age. His chapters include: * "The Beginnings of Photography": a potted history of the art which provides essential background for anyone interested in technique. * "Identifying Early Photographs": how to date the photo by identifying the technique used. * "Dating Early Photographs": how to use the clues in the picture itself; the costumes, the hairstyles, the settings and the poses to work out when it was taken. * "Other Photographic Items": a very brief coverage of other photographic memorabilia such as cameras, albums and frames. However you will need to look elsewhere for more than a very superficial introduction. * "Copying Photographs" describes two ways of making copies to give to other family members or to complete our own collections.His "standard method" is the way the serious photographer would normally do it while his "cheating method" is a method anyone who owns a camera can use without too much fuss. (Even serious Tasmanian Ancestry 224 March 1993 photographers have been known to "cheat" in this way when in a hurry or when they cannot set up their usual gear.) He also has a section of representative photos from the various eras which illustrate the types likely to be found in a family collection. He includes pertinent comments on each but he has not provided references to them from the body of the text. This is rather a pity as many readers would want to see examples of the styles described as they read about them. One of the most interesting aspects of the book is a series of dating charts showing in graphic form how the clues in the photos can be used to date them. The concept is excellent and most readers will find them useful but they would have been much more valuable if more thought had been given to lay-out. He provides a useful bibliography for the reader who wishes to delve further into any of the areas he touches on. In summary a very useful little book which would find a place on any family historian's bookshelf. It will help complete the jigsaw by fitting the faces into the correct place in the family tree. One important point he makes is that last century it was fashionable to collect photographs of the famous . It is quite possible that that distinguished looking gentleman or the glamorous lady may have found their way into the album in this manner and may not be connected to your family at all!
