Personal Notes:
Stanley is the second child of Charlie and Rose and was born at Toogoolawah in the very early days of 1919. He was enrolled at Biarra School in September 1924 at the age of five and completed his primary education there.

On leaving school Stan worked with his father at 'Merton Hall Farm' for a time until, like so many of his generation, he was caught up in military service in the Army in World War II.

Upon his discharge, Stan eventually acquired a farm on Biarra Road, Toogoolawah, engaging in dairying and fruit growing. It was here that he and his wife Grace raised their family of four daughters and two sons. Stan, however, began to suffer the insidious detrimental effects of the use of fungicides on his own and his father's citrus orchards, and his health declined.

One of Stan's hobbies was the breeding of cattle dogs, as was his father's before him. He travelled to many of the regional shows and competed with some success in trials applicable to that breed of dog. As well, he was a dedicated supporter of the Toogoolawah Show Society and was honoured by them with Life Membership.

Stanley died at the age of seventy-nine years and is buried in the Toogoolawah Lawn 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.
