Back in on February 23, 2023, I posted about working out the area of the Roman Catholic Cemetery at Mummell. It was using Google Earth and its tools BUT there was an easier way. A good friend, Andrew suggested that I use the NSW Historical Land Records Viewer, https://hlrv.nswlrs.com.au/ Doing that I searched for Mummell […]
I have updated the list of surnames, to the best of my knowledge these are all the people buried in the cemetery. Please contact me at lily@researchbylily.com.au if you have more names. SURNAME FIRST NAME PLACE DATE OF DEATH AGE ATKINS Harry Mummell 22/01/2015 BURGESS Mary Margaret Mummell 29/11/1989 81yrs DALGLISH Alexander Augustus Mummell […]
Well after much frustration, time, effort and in the end no luck, I’m still unable to access the backend of my blog on Blogger. So with that in mind, I’m cloning the blog by transferring ALL the posts to this new site and thus I will now be able to blog new and interesting information […]
I’ve spent weeks asking people, looking in records and I haven’t been able to find out the size of he cemetery. A friend suggested that I use Google Earth and play with their tools. Well it worked! Here are the steps I did to work out, roughly how many square meters Mummell cemetery is. You […]
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 […]
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 […]
