Personal Notes:
Northern Miner (Charters Towers) 21 may 1909
"The fact that Mr. G, P. Sandrock completes his 90th year, on Sunday next (says the Rockhampton "Dally Hecord" of May 14), was the subject of considerable comment and con gratulation at yesterday's meeting of the) Rockhampton General Hospital Committee, and, after the conclusion of its business, the members adjourn ed at the request of the President, to tile Union Hotel, where Mr. Sandrock's health was enthusiastically drunk. In briefly proposing the toast, Mr. Hart ley referred to the fact that he had known.Mr. Sandrock for 45 years, a longer period than anyone present, with the exception of Dr. Callaghan. He taped that Mr. Sandrock would be spared for many years yet, so long as he had his health and vigour.

A short outline of Mr. Sandrock's career may be of Interest to Rockhampton readers at tills present Juncture. He was born on the 16th May, 1819, at Chatham, Kent, England, and was married on the 20th January, 1845, to Miss S. M. Pain (who died on the 11th November 1905, aged 91 years). Prior to this, he had left England for the West Indies (1834) remaining at Barbados three years, after which he returned to England, and took the position of clerk with the firm of Barsham and Lonsdale, until the end of 1843, when he was appointed Relieving Officer at Greenwich, which appointment he kept until 1863. He then left for Sydney, where he took a position as a clerk, and occupied several appointments In that capacity until 1863, when he was appointed third officer of Customs at Rockhampton, arriving here 12th October, 1863.

In 1866 be was promoted to second officeship, and at the end of the same year was appointed Sub-collector of Customs for the Gulf of Carpentaria, with headquarters at Sweer's Island, where he remained until 1873, when he took up the same position at Bowen, which he held until 6th March, 1885. He retired from the Government service on that last date, and built a suburban heme with a lucrative orchard, living thereon until the year of his golden wedding In 1895, when he and Mrs. Sandrock took an extended trip south, visiting friends, after which they came and settled for a second time at Rockhampton.

Mr. Sandrock has two married daughters, Mrs. Kent and Mrs. Simpson (the former now living with him), 14 grandchildren, and 14 great-grand children (now living.)”

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.
