Personal Notes:
Amos also served in the First World War in the trenches. His first wife died of consumption while he was in France. His daughter Ada was brought up by her grandmother Elizabeth Nuttall (nee Amos) .
After the war he remarried, a lady called Helen. He had two daughters, Barbara Nuttall, a teacher who went to live in Africa, where she married a man named Charles McNeil-Coventry and had two children, Francesca and Blayde. Patricia Nuttall, his second daughter was very clever, and specialised in Maths and science and went to Cambridge. Elizabeth Married Kieth Renshaw from Sheffield, they had 3 children, Elizabeth, Alison and Ian. Josephine Musker was the God-mother of Elizabeth. Amos also had a son, Keith, who went to live in Canada where he became a lighthouse keeper and had a large family.
Amos was very clever and his teacher wanted him to go to Grammar School and then go on to train to become a teacher. Amos could not go because the family was so poor, so Amos worked down the pit and eventually became a police man. For a good while (ten or more years), the family lived in the Police House in Cliviger where Amos was the village ‘bobby’ –a police sergeant. Apparently, Helen used to go and visit the other police houses and the wives of the other police men as part of her role as the wife of the police sergeant. The police wives were afraid of her as she used to inspect their homes and report to her husband if she found the wives lazy or running dirty homes. They must have moved when their daughter Barbara was eleven as she was accepted at Paddock House Girls Grammar School on Fredrick Street in Oswaldtwistle. Although it is possible that Barbara and her sister Patricia, who also gained a scholarship to Paddock House, travelled by bus each day.

Amos and Helen bought 114 Countess Street in Accrington. This is where both Amos and Helen died.

This public tree has about 60,100 people. Every person in the tree is related by birth or marriage to at least one other person in the tree - no strays. The people in the tree come mainly from four projects.
  1. My family tree. The original project begun about 1998. ID numbers less than about 6,000
  2. Canberra and Queanbeyan Pioneers. The next 30,000 begun about 2004. Sourced almost entirely from HAGSOC's excellent 'Biographical Register of Canberra and Queanbeyan'. The project began when I decided to add siblings, spouses and parents for a relation with an entry in the Register. 12 years work.
  3. Wagga Pioneers. I moved to Wagga and thought I would extend the Queanbeyan project by adding people from Wagga Wagga & District Family History Society's 'Pioneers of Wagga Wagga and District'. About 10,300 people added over about a year.
  4. Tumut Valley Pioneers. During the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, I decided to extend the above projects by adding pioneers of the Tumut Valley. Initial sources were Snowden's 'Pioneers of the Tumut Valley' and 'Relict of ... Lives of Pioneering Women of Tumut and District'. Excellent references published by Tumut Family History Group. I've also added material from newspapers of the time - especially, death records, obituaries and weddings from 'Tumut and Adelong Times'. This project is in its early stage and might take a few years. I plan to extend to the upper Monaro (Adaminaby, Kiandra, Cooma, Jindabyne).
I upload new information to this website about every 3 months. My motivation for these projects is to provide public information for people seeking to trace ancestors and what became of them. Much of the information I provide can be difficult to find.
If you find errors - anything incorrect (dates, places, wrong parents, wrong children), and you have evidence, I would love to fix them. Or, if you have information that would extend my projects, do not hestiate to contact me on the email link below. I do not publish information on living people - which means I'm not much interested in people born after about 1920, and I usually distrust material from before about 1770 without extremely good sources.
