OBITUARY
MR. ROBERT KEMP
Death claimed another of the old Tumut native-born on Wednesday last at noon, in the person of Mr. Robert Kemp, aged 70 years. Deceased, who had been a robust, energetic man all his previous life, last summer suffered a heart seizure of such great severity that his medical adviser forbade him exerting himself, and he thereupon moved about leisurely. About a week prior to his demise he became critically ill, and gradually sank. He was a son of the late Henry Gordon Kemp who came to Tumut from the Old Country in the early days, and coming to manhood followed building and carpentering as a vocation. He married Rebecca Dean, sister of Stephen and Thomas Dean, of Tumut, the offspring being Mrs Wallie Clee (deceased) Mrs. Thomas Clee (Tumut Plains), Mrs Dave Coote (Manilla)) the survivors, with a sorrowing widow, being left to mourn the loss of a sterling father and a devoted husband. Other members of his parents' family living are Mrs Henry Hoad (Sydney and late of Tumut), Mrs Roger Blomley (Yass), Mrs Dave Clout and Mrs Upton (Sydney), William (Bega) and Henry (Sydney). Being an Oddfellow of long standing, a member of Loyal Tumut Lodge, M.U., he was accorded an Oddfellows' funeral, a touching short service being conducted at the home in Merrivale-st. by RevJ. A. Malcomson before the cortege left for the Presbyerian portion of the Old Cemetery.

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.
