The Tumut and Adelong Time 7 Aug 1945
OBITUARY MR. FREDERICK BYE The late Mr. Frederick Bye, whose death occurred recently, was born at Gunning in 1852. His first job was tending sheep, and at the age of 12 had charge of a flock of 1900 wethers. At 16 he entered the employ of the Devlin Bros. at Deepwater Station, near Narandera and during his term there became a noted roughrider. The year 1870 saw him at Berembead, and the following year he ran the mail from Wagga to Hay with packhorses, and some time later entered the employ of the late Mr. A. W. Crain, then owner of Billabong Station at Holbrook. When Mr. Crain sold out in 1870 the late Mr. Bye accompanied him to the new property at Caragrie, on the Bogan River, but in 1880 they returned to Mt. Horeb, which estate Mr. Crain had purchased. Adelong district was then in the midst of its mining boom, and as prospects for dairying were good Mr. Bye commenced dairying at Califat. Later on Mr. Crain's property was switched over to sheep and cattle grazing and Mr. Bye again took up the position of overseer until 1906, when Mr. Crain sold out once more. The latter part of his active life was spent in the employ of the late Mr. Clive Hayes on the same property, retiring from work in 1921.

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.
