Personal Notes:

Obit from Feb 1951
"The death occurred last Monday of a well known and respected resident of Ayr, when Mrs W.J. Ferguson [nee Florence Madden, daughter of Julian Edward] passed away after several years of ill-health. The later Mrs. Ferguson, who was born in Charters Towers, was the second daughter of Mr J.E. Madden, of Charters Towers and Homestead, and now one of the oldest residenst of that district. The family moved to Ayr in 1918, and took over the farm of Mr j.R. McKenzie on Airdmillan Road. On demobilisation from the First Wolrd War, Mr and Mrs. Ferguson were married and settled on a farm on the Home Hill road near the Burdekin traffic bridge and lived there for some 20 years. Owing to Mrs. Ferguson's ill-health they moved into Ayr where they lived up to the time of her death. The deceased is survived by her husband and one daughter, Mrs C Cox of Ayr, and one son, Bill of All Souls School, Charters Towers. A Communion Service in memory was held at the Church of England, Ayr, at 7 a.m. on Tuesday. A very large number of friends attended the funeral which moved from the church at 4 p.m."

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.
