President’s Report

The digitised version of The Courier with optical character recognition from about December 1869 to early 1875 is anticipated to be live on the National Library of Australia’s Trove website by late June 2015. This work is the result of the grant from the ’s Community Impact Program, Society funds and the assistance from the State Library of Victoria and the National Library of Australia. This work will provide continuous newspaper coverage for about twenty years from 1855.

Advice on the prospects for a second and third stage to The Courier project is eagerly awaited.

The Society attended a key symposium in Ballarat to address re-vitalisation of the historic cities, including this city.

The index to the Buninyong Petty Sessions 1856-1969 (VPRS 296) has been published and launched by Dr Anne Beggs Sunter on 21st March 2015. This Petty Sessions covered the former Town and , to the south and south east of urban Ballarat. Publication uses a USB stick. This offers the purchaser greater flexibility.

Indexing of recently discovered volumes (VPRS 7266/P1), that were supplementary to the Rate records for the Town of Ballarat East for a few years near 1870, will bring the digital work on the Town rate records into sequence from 1859 to 1882 (VPRS 7266/P0 and 7258). Work is advanced.

Mrs Joan Hunt, an eminent local and family historian and Life Member of this Society, was recently recognised by the Merit Award from the Association of Australian Historical Societies. This significant award reflects many years of dedicated and sterling labour in organisations, professional learning and advocating in the world of history. Congratulations, Joan. There could be no more deserving recipient.

The late Keith Rash, founding Chairman of the Ballarat Group GSV, commenced a project to collect birth, death and marriage detail from The (Ballarat) Courier. This preceded the publication of the official government indexes to Birth, Death and Marriage. Ms Marilyn Miller changed the way to approach that information. This led to some six decades of records being presented in an enhanced digital form. Some 330 000 records have been collected. The Society nominated this individual member’s contribution for the 2015 Ballarat Heritage Awards.

This year the Society’s presence in the Heritage Weekend (Mothers’ Day weekend) was undertaken with a number of kindred organisations in the Ballarat Public Library. This reflected long-standing desires by this Society to present publicly in proximity to the major record sources in its collection.

BUNINYONG PETTY SESSIONS INDEX LAUNCH

Old Buninyong Courthouse Saturday 21 March 2015 at 11.00am by Dr Anne Beggs- Sunter, Secretary of Buninyong & District Historical Society. Bright sunny morning in the ‘Village’. Lovely olde worldy setting with a select group of guests interested in this index transcribed and published electronically by Ballarat & District Genealogical Society Inc. ISBN 978-0-9751359-5-2. There are introductory documents and a searchable index of around 25 000 entries dating from 1856 to 1969, a period of 114 years, spanning four generations of life in Buninyong. This pre-dated Ballarat as a European settlement and that set of pioneering names was intrinsically linked to early Ballarat goldrush history. Many family names in the district have continued throughout the generations to the present day. Some of those present were delighted to find names of their ancestors in the index and will follow up to discover more from the original registers. http://www.ballaratgenealogy.org.au/about/ballarat-indexes-for-sale for more information and Order Form.

The Next Generation of Australian Born Cadogans (From “Cadogan, from Abergavenny, Wales; to Australia and Beyond, 1829-2005” Jimmy Cadogan”)

The adventure in the goldfields was the fertile ground upon which Joseph Ephraim Cadogan and Mary Wayne created the family to consolidate a name inherited from intricate roots of Welshmen, now entwined with a very prevalent English strain from Hertfordshire, with a distinctive Australian flavour.

The plains of Tooborac on the McIvor saw the birth of the couple’s first child, John Cadogan, in 1859. A sister Caroline was born at Inglewood in 1860. Then it was Frederick’s turn, in 1862, the survivor of two children born at Inglewood, between the big rush in 1860 and the big fire that destroyed half of the town in December 1862.

In the fifteen or more years that passed since their arrival and settlement in Ballarat, a succession of additions to the family commenced with Albert Llewellyn in 1863, which was followed by Caroline Mary in 1865, Ernest in 1867, Martha Wayne in 1869, and Joseph in 1872. Altogether, five boys and one girl survived to become the carriers of the hopes and inspirations that brought both their parents to seek common ground in Australian soil. An analysis of data concerning trades and/or professions in the Goldfields provides the following results from the birth certificates of the Cadogan family, from 1857 to 1872, using the profession of the Father.

Is this someone you may know? This photo was found on a farmhouse wall in Ireland. Why?

This couple is not related to me or my family, but I was given the photo by a person living in Ferns, County Wexford, Ireland who thought I may be related.

The photo is of a wedding, taken at Willetts Elite Studio Sturt St Ballarat between 1888 and 1896. The photo was hanging on the wall of a farmhouse named Newtown House which is half a mile up Upper Main Street from the centre of Ferns (a tiny but historically significant village in northern County Wexford). The house (pictured) has been extended upwards and modernised, but the original lower stone walls contain several carved stones embedded in the wall, one of which has ‘Butler 1775’ in cursive with an unrecognisable letter in the front, possibly a B or L (could be a signature stone). Another stone beside it also has ‘1775’ carved into it, and others have ‘WB 1809’, plus an elaborately carved stone which may have come from an old church ruin. A family of Butlers locally known as the ‘Newtown Butlers’ have lived in this house continuously from before 1800 until the 1980’s- significant names in the family tree are William, George, Thomas and Edward. The last remaining member, Molly, who is 92 but now lives elsewhere, owns this photo but she does not know who it is. She thinks it may have been one of her great uncles, but not sure. (The relative could also be the woman.) Are there any members of your society who have Butler ancestors who may recognise the people in this photo? Unfortunately, it is of poor quality. It is an intriguing mystery how a photo from a Ballarat photo studio ended up on the walls of a farmhouse in tiny Ferns in County Wexford. Marriage photo could be George Butler b.1859 or William Butler b.1857, or Edward, or possibly sisters Catherine or Mary Ann. NB. photo owned by Molly Butler, daughter of George Butler b. 1893.

Please contact Barbara Butler Via [email protected] if you can help with this mystery.

The Family Tree above may give some hints about whose wedding is represented. To the left is a map showing where the house is that the photo was found in. Were there more in this family or is it George who has come to Ballarat to marry. If anyone is looking for a puzzle to solve here is a nice one to try.
