The Tumut and Adelong Times 24 Jan 1933
OBITUARY ROBERT KENNEDY BROUGHTON Mr. Robert Kennedy Broughton, whose death was briefly announced in last Friday's issue as having taken place at his residence, on Tuesday last, and who would have attained his 86th birthday on Sunday next, was a scion of the old stock of English gentlemen who were amongst the earliest Government officials of this State, his grandfather being Commissary William Broughton, whose regiment came to Australia with Captain Cook in the first fleet at the close of the last century. He was a son of one of this district's early pioneers, the late Mr. R. K. Broughton, who settled here in 1838 and owned the whole of Gadara, originally a run of 5000 acres. He was a man of sound principles, of true gentlemanly bearing, and a valued friend and neighbor. Upon his mother's death and the subsequent subdivision of the Broughton estate, over 30 years ago, he purchased a portion of it (then confined to 2700 acres freehold) and went in for grazing, naming it "Woonora." In June, 1905, he married Mary, eldest daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs George Hayes, of "Havilah,'' Gadara, two sons, Robert Kennedy and Ancher ("Tim"), being the issue to the union. Up to within two months of his death he was apparently in good health, despite his years and small, slight stature, but from then on he continued to fail. On Monday his illness alarmed his family and Dr. J. W. Mason was consulted and attended the patient, the examination revealing that the end was close at hand, so his relatives were apprised of his critical condition, and it came all too suddenly, he passing away at 5.30 p.m. the next day. The mourners are his widow and two sons, two sisters, Misses Emily ("The Grange," Tumut) and Emma Broughton (Sydney), and one brother, Mr. James Broughton (Gadara). Four sisters (Mesdames Harry J. Sharp, Bland Clayton, W. C. Webb and Wm Manning) and one brother (Mr. Archer Broughton, "The Grange," Tumut) predeceased him. A large cortege of sympathising friends attended the funeral which took place on Wednesday, the remains being laid to rest in the C. of E. portion of the Adelong Cemetery, Rev. A. W. Harris officiating at the graveside. The casket-bearers were R. K. and A. Broughton (sons), Hamilton, Hayes (brother-in-law), James Broughton jr, J. Burleigh and Robt. H. Sharp (nephews).

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.
