Personal Notes:
Elizabeth came from a fairly well off family. She married a miner which was regarded as beneath her and her family would have nothing to do with her for a long time, although she did keep in touch with her youngest sister Mary Jane (Polly). She was married three times, widowed twice and had to take in lodgers. She lived in Moores Lane, Standish.

Her last lodger, Anthony Gavin refused to stay in the house alone with a lady who was not married and rather than him find other lodgings she agreed to marry him. Elizabeth never came downstairs without her corsets on and at least 7 layers of underclothes, even in summer. She worked very hard and had a hard life. Because she was widowed and had to bring up four children on her own, she was very poor.

Anthony was the maternal grandfather Doris Wane never had. They were very close. Elizabeth used to send Doris to the Shamrock very night with the smallest one of her three blue jugs for a ‘gill’ of beer for Anthony with his dinner. Anthony was Catholic and was delighted when Doris converted to Catholicism when she married James William Musker in 1940.

Elizabeth was very gifted and could crochet intricate patterns just looking at something. A shop in Wigan used to draw the blinds to prevent her from copying the patterns from tablecloths, baby jackets, dresses, cardigans, chair covers etc.. She crocheted a dress for her grand-daughter Doris, in one night, for the Whit Walks after the dress she was supposed to wear did not fit her.
She had a bad fall towards the end of her life. Her leg became ulcerated and infected and she never recovered.
She is buried in Standish graveyard but does not have a headstone because her family were too poor.
One of her brothers, Daniel, Hartley or John invented the colour Khaki which was used by the British army after the Zulu War until the present day. He made no money from inventing the colour, but the factory he worked for made millions

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.
