Personal Notes:
CATHERINE MARIA (Kate) KELL nee Halloran

by Lyn Shiels

Kate was born on 15 September 1873 at Blowering, daughter of Patrick and Bridget Halloran and one of a family of twelve children. Her childhood was spent on the family farm at Blowering and she was educated at home. As a young woman she worked in the family home and attended many social events around the district including dances and tennis parties and it was at these that she met William Kell.

Kate and Bill were married in 1903 at Kate's home at Blowering and soon afterwards they settled at Sunnybrae, Lacmalac where they raised a family of six daughters and one son. Kate's interests were her home, family and church and she was regarded as an excellent cook, often cooking for numbers of workmen as well as her tamily. She made bread, churned butter, baked cakes and was renowned as a jam maker. During the summer months, when Bill took stock to the summer grazing lease on Long Plain, Kate had responsibility for the day to day running of the farm as well as her home and children.

Two years after Kate and Bill sold Sunnybrae and moved to Tumut to live Kate sutfeied a stroke. She was cared for in Tumut Hospital where she died eleven months later on 15 November 1957. She is buried in the Tumut 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.
