Personal Notes:
The Tumut Advocate 29 Nov 1921
OBITUARY MR. C. J. NICHOLLS. The death occurred on Wednesday morning, at his late residence at Burra Creek, of Mr. Charles J. Nicholls, at the age of 65 years. The late Mr. Nicholls had not been at all well for some time, and of late years never left his home. He was one of a family of 13, all of whom have now crossed the Great Divide, a younger brother, Timothy, having pre-deceased by only about a month. The late Mr. Nicholls was a fine type of old man, scrupulously honest in all his dealings and his word was his bond. Although of frail built deceased was one of the hardy old type of pioneers, who made a success of farming. Some time back he handed his property over to his sons, whom he has lived with for years, and they were all by his bedside when he passed away. In the early days he, like many of the old pioneers, had a rather rough passage, but stuck to his guns and never tired of work, till he overcame all difficulties and got together a nice compact property. He had the satisfaction of seeing all his sons grow to manhood and had the consolation of knowing they were respected, one of them (David) having served in the late war. Deceased is survived by three daughters and five sons—Mrs. C. Taber (Coolac), Mrs. A. Hill (Sydney), Mrs. W. Luff (Tumblong); Messrs Richard (Illabo), Samuel (Weelong, Forbes), S. H. (Mundongo, Tumut), David and Benjamin (Burra). A number of grandchildren are also left behind. Deceased was a native of England and came to Australia when a boy. The funeral took place on Thursday, his remains being laid to rest in the Coolac 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.
