Personal Notes:

The Tumut and Adelong Times 29 Jun 1926 SHEPARDSTOWN. Death of Mr. E. Skerry. Mr. Edward Skerry died at his residence, Shepardstown, on Sunday morning. Deceased had been failing in health for the last seven years and a fortnight ago was seized with pneumonia, from which he recovered, only to succumb from heart failure. The subject of this obituary was born at Ballarat in 1858 and came to Shepardstown fifty years ago to follow mining. He married Miss Ellen Kennedy, daughter of the late Michael and Catherine Kennedy, of Shepardstown, in 1859 [sic should be 1879], by whom he had eight children, Fred., Elizabeth, James being deceased. The children surviving are Mrs. B. Contessa of Shepardstown, Edward of Batlow, Thomas, Cyril and Mrs. Teresa Corkhill of Canberra. The late Mr. Skerry was one of the earliest members of the M.U. Oddfellows in Adelong, and resided in Shepardstown the whole of his married life, where he was highly esteemed as a quiet inoffensive man, a good father and husband. All the members of his family were with him during his last illness, through which he was nursed by his faithful and affectionate wife. The funeral took place on Monday, Rev. Fr. Devine officiating at the graveside in Adelong 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. My family tree. The original project begun about 1998. ID numbers less than about 6,000 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. 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. 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. g.bell@bigpond.net.au When you click the mail address abouve, if it does not open your email app, copy the address on the screen.
