Golden Wedding KINRED— BRIDLE On November 29 two old and esteemed residents of the Tumut district, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Kinred, celebrated their golden wedding. The occasion was marked by a gathering of old friends at "Sulby," the residence of the 50-years-married couple. A "wedding tea" was partaken of. The tables, beautifully decorated with golden Iceland poppies, were laden with good things, a wedding cake, finished also with touches of gold, completed the sumptuous repast. After justice had been done to the good things provided, the usual toast list was proceeded with, Rev. T. A. Gair (C. of E.) presiding. The toast of the "Bride and Groom of 50 years," was proposed by the Chairman, and supported by Messrs. E. G. Bridle and A. E. Wilkinson, Mr. Fred Kinred feelingly responding. Mr. and Mrs. Kinred were the recipients of some beautiful and valuable gifts, and many good wishes were also conveyed by numerous telegrams, letters and telephone messages. We are sure these worthy citizens also have the good wishes of the people of our town and district. They were married at All Saints', Tumut.
Personal Notes:
Frederick Kinred was born on 4 April 1851 on the Isle of Man. His parents, Hugh Kinred and Charlotte anred lived there on the family estate, which it is claimed was held by the Kinred family for 800 years.

Arriving in Sydney in 1875, he married Emma Bridle, a daughter of William Bridle Snr. of Talbingo Station on 29 November 1876.

Frederick Kinred was an architect and building contractor. Together with a brother who came to Tumut with him, he built most of the substantial buildings in Tumut, Adelong and Gundagai, among which were the All Saints Church and Convent of Mercy at Tumut and the Roman Catholic Church at Gundagai.

It is also claimed that he built the blue granite Roman Catholic Church at Tumut, which was commenced in 1876.

Frederick Kinred was a great thinker and a man of extraordinary vision. There are records available showing that in 1880 he recommended to the State Government, and submitted plans, for a water conservation and hydro-electric scheme with dams at Blowering, Goobarragandra, Talbingo, Jounama Creek, Buddong Creek, and the junction of the Tumut and Murrumbidgee Rivers, Seventy five years before the Snowy River Schemes were commenced. Plans and maps of these schemes proposed by him are still, in the Custody of descendants at Tumut.

In 1901 he recommended Gadara to the Government as the site for the Federal Capital. In 1901 he submitted plans to the Government for vast pine forests at Yarrangobilly, with roadways, a nursery, and a trout hatchery. He received no monetary gain for his proposals and recommendations.

The Tumut and Adelong Times 22 Dec 1931
OBITUARY MR.

Deceased was the son of Mr. Hugh and Mrs. Sarah Kinred and was born at "Ballamanagh," Lezaye, Isle of Man, in 1851.

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.
