Personal Notes:
The Aston Aston, Warwickshire Census of Sunday 30th March, 1851 shows the family living at Bordesley Green House, Aston. (PRO Ref: HO/107/2060 Folio 670 Page 17 FHL Film 0087316.) Details of children’s names, ages and birth places were taken from the Census. George was a ‘Scholar’ and the other six children were ‘Scholars at Home’ . They had a 23 year old house servant called Phoebe Davis. The family was very musical and artistic.

Thomas is noted as being at the time of the Census, a coal merchant. This is also noted on his daughter Maria's marriage certificate. On his death certificate his profession is named as scalemaker.

Thomas's only brother was a clergyman.

Thomas Bourne and his family left Birmingham for a new life in Australia. It must have been sometime after the census in March, 1851. He died from ‘consumption’ in Launceston, Tasmania on 13th January, 1852, aged 54 years. He would have been in Australia only months. He must have had consumption or TB, when he left England and they were hoping a change of climate would help his health.

After Thomas died, Ann would have been left with all the children to raise alone, her youngest child only 5. The elder children would have had to support the family.

There is a stirling silver spoon which belonged to the Bourne family. The leopard's head uncrowned shows it was made between 1821 and 1890. The m shows it was actually made between 1827 and 1828. It was probably part of a cutlery set given as a wedding present to the couple.

There is a Coat of Arms - T. Bourne 1798, the year of Thomas’ birth.

A Benjamin Bourne went to Philadelphia, America in 1848 with his wife and two young sons. He was born and grew up in Birmingham. His great grandfather was Richard Bourne born 1742/3 in Burslem, Staffordshire.

In 1850’s a Clara Jane Bourne was born at King’s Norton near Birmingham to John Bourne an electroplater

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.
