The Tumut and Adelong Times 12 Oct 1943
OBITUARY EDWARD JOHN BRIDLE A link with the early days of Tumut was severed on Monday of last week by the death in the Tumut District Hospital of Edward John, son of the late Mr. John Edward and Mrs. Bridle of Bowler's Flat. The late Mr. Bridle was born at Tumut on 18th December, 1856, and was christened at "Rose Vale'" by Rev. Samuel Fox, first Rector at Tumut. As a lad he was a pupil of Mrs. Large's Private School, which was conducted by that well-known lady in premises near the site of the present Odd fellows' Hall. Later he selected land adjoining his father's property, where for some time he engaged in farming. During his early twenties he followed pastoral pursuits at Brindabella and later travelled through the length and breadth of the eastern States with cattle and sheep. His wide knowledge of the early pastoralists and their holdings, of the times and their customs, was the basis of many tales of the past which have since appeared in print over the names of well-known Australian authors. On 10th June, 1908, he married Margaret Elizabeth Wilkinson, elder daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Wilkinson of Yellowin, thus linking two of the pioneer families of Tumut and of Australia. Mr. and Mrs. Bridle resided in various localities, including Batlow, Campbelltown and Tallong, returning to their home town in 1939. Mr. Bridle has been physically incapacitated for the past few years, but until a year prior to his passing his mental vigor remained keen and unimpaired. During these days Mr. and Mrs. Bridle received much comfort from the ministrations of Mr. John French (licensed lay-reader of All Saints'). The cortege left All Saints' Church on Tuesday last after a short service conducted by Rev. Alexander of Adelong, and later the remains were interred in the New Cemetery in the presence of a representative gathering of friends and relatives. The profusion of beautiful floral offerings was a tribute to the district's sympathy to Mrs. Bridle, and the respect felt for the late Mr. Edward Bridle.

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.
