Do you have old postcards from trips away, pre-digital cameras and mobile phones, when family and friends would send one while away? Don’t throw them away as apart from the details on the back, the actual photo could show you what a place was like, years ago. I’ve a collection of early 1900’s postcards, like […]
Now that the Christmas/New Year break is over, I’ve started to expand where I’m researching and today I spent several delightful hours in at the Society of Australian Genealogists, researching. I have confirmed that James McAleer is buried in Mummell Cemetery, so that makes the 38 I thought I had BUT, I’ve found a new […]
Back in January I wrote about what I was ‘planning’ for this year. You can read it here, https://researchbylily.com.au/a-new-year-what-will-it-bring/ As a year 2022 was better in some ways, as were weren’t locked-down and were able to travel but in other ways, it was difficult. Rain, rain and more rain, with some towns, even now still […]
I took the Christmas break off, as we had a full house and my study became a bedroom. So what have I been doing with this study? * Obtained transcripts of all the deaths between 1852 and 1952. * Increased the size of the data-base to include not just names, dates of death etc., but […]
I’m undertaking a One-Place Study, of the Roman Catholic Cemetery, Range Road, Mummell. I’ve set a time period of 100 years, from 1852 to 1952, found 39 deaths in that timeframe, buried there. Well I thought there were 39, then it became 38 and now today it COULD be 37. My Problem. 16 December 1893, […]
After much thought and planning I have decided on my timeframe for the study. The earliest grave I have found is 1852 and the latest is 2015. Out of respect for those buried there I have selected the timeframe of 1852 to 1952. This considers the ease of access to records that far back and […]
While I was away, this week, I purchased a wonderful book, Burials in County of Argyle, NSW, 1856 – 1918. Compiled by The Goulburn District Family History Society, Inc. I’m using it in my One-Place study and have found it fascinating, to browse through. Gruesome, you might think but not really. Having found the ones […]
Took some time away and went out to the cemetery at Mummel. Now the spelling seems to be interchangable, with Mummell. I will use both. Headed out from Goulburn, with rain clouds in the distance, but they didn’t stay there long. About 7km’s from the cemetery it started to pour and continued. I stopped the […]
Hi, it has been months since I last blogged here and that is very remiss of me. I have been doing some research, on a divorce and went to NSW State Archives, at Kingswood. Paul and I also had time away, looking a tulips, for the annual Tulip Time, in the NSW Southern Highlands. We […]
October 11, 2022 Doing a One-Place study is and will be an ongoing research project, that isn’t going to be finished quickly. I have 49 names on a list of those that I know are buried in this cemetery, two I suspect are buried there and then there are the other unmarked graves, I’ve yet […]
