Personal Notes:
John, Thomas, and Elizabeth Wilkinson were an outstanding pioneermg trio. They were born at Liverpool, New South Wales - John Wilkinson on 30 December 1821, Thomas Wllkrnson on 16 January 1824, and sister Elizabeth Wllkinson on 16 July 1826.

On 27th July 1829 the Wilkinson children’s mother, Margaret Wilkinson, was drowned whilst crossing the Georges River in a canoe.
In December 1830 a half brother, Henry Wilkinson, was born to their father, William Wilkinson, and Catherine Ryan. A few years later William Wilkinson, Catherine Ryan and the four children moved to Gundaroo, twelve miles from Lake George. Another son, Edward “Wilkinson, was born to William Wilkinson and Catherine Ryan at Gundaroo circa 1834.
By 1838 cohesion of the family had broken down. Young Thomas Wilkinson, then aged 14 years, and
his sister Elizabeth Wllkinson, aged 12 years left Gundaroo for the Tumut district, where they joined their brother, John Wilkinson.
Accompanied by Thomas Boyd (previously a member of the Hume and Hovell party) and his wife
Ellen, as well as bringing 70 head of cattle with them, they journeyed to the Gilmore just
upstream from Boyd’s Selection. They had crossed the Murrumbidgee at Darbalara and the Tumut River at Mundong crossing (known later as Mill Angle).
After settling down on the Gilmore, building a hut and putting in a crop of wheat, George Shelley claimed that he held under licence the whole of the whole country from the Tumut River to the head of Gilmore Creek and that the Wilkinsons had no right to depasture their stock on his run.
Henry Bingham, the Crown Lands Commissioner, who had wide powers over land occupancy, ordered the Wilkinsons to move to Yallowin, where they were granted a licence for twenty-five square miles of country.

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.
