Personal Notes:
Charles de Salis, was born 25 July 1736 in the Parish of St. James, Westminster and died sine prole, Hieres, Provence, July 1781.

He was the eldest son of Jerome, Count de Salis-Soglio by his wife Mary, daughter of Charles, 1st Viscount Fane.

After some schooling with his younger brothers (Peter, Henry and William) in his father's ancestral homeland, the Grisons Republic, he was at Eton from 1747, where he was one of the c250 pupils there at the time. He travelled abroad 1757-1760, the tour included: Lausanne (university); Northern Italy; Rome; Naples; Coire; Paris; Turin; and Holland.

His maternal uncle, 2nd Lord Fane (an Opposition/Bedford Whig), had been one of the two Members of Parliament (MPs) for Reading 1754-1761. In 1761 de Salis stood in his place, but having been admitted a Freeman/Burgess of the Corporation of Reading on 4 March 1761 he was well beaten at the poll on 25 March 1761. De Salis had 258 votes, whereas the elected candidates polled 396 and 355.

Apart from returning to execute his uncle's will in 1766, he subsequently lived in Provence; at Arles, Salon, Nimes and Hieres (also spelt: Hyères), where he died and was buried at the Convent des Cordeliers in 1781.

He seems to have shared with his mother, maternal-grandmother (Mary Stanhope), and to a greater degree his maternal-aunt a prediliction for the vapours. De Salis and his mother both received treatment from Dr. Pierre Pomme, of Montpellier university, author of Traite des Affections Vaporeuses des deux sexes, 1767.

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.
