A MURCHISON IDENTITY. The funeral, of Mr Frederick Ridley, late of the Fingall mine, Day Dawn, took place on Saturday morning last, and was well attended. The deceased, who was 51 years of age, was a native of New South Wales, where he resided for 33 years, the latter 18 years of his life having been spent in this State. On the Murchison he was familiarly known as "Jersey." Mr Ridley enjoyed a reputation for marvellous escapes from fatal acci dents. On one occasion he fell down a shaft, and was saved from death by his belt, which caught in a pro jection in the shaft, and. suspended him there until, he was safely releas ed. Other equally remarkable escapes fell to his lot, until his luck became almost proverbial. Like many other Murchison miners and prospectors; Mr Ridley fell a victim to the miners' variety of white plague, and after a comparatively short illness, he died in West Subiaco Hospital. The cortege proceeded to the Catholic portion of the Karrakatta Cemetery, where the remains were laid to rest, the Rev. P. Masterson conducting the last rites. The following gentlemen acted as pall-bearers : The Hon. M. F. Troy. (Speaker, Legisla tive Assembly), Mr. T. Chesson, M.L.A., Mr. J. Meares, Mr. K.. Symonds, Mr. P. Maher, Mr. W. Ellson, Mr. F. Tresize, Mr. H. Panton, Mr. J. Lindley. R.I.P.

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.
