Personal Notes:
Gertrude Muriel “Arma” (Berrie) Hannah 1875-1967
Not a lot is known about Gertrude.
She was born on “Gwydir Station” near Moree in 1875. She was the eldest daughter of six children born to Thomas and Margaret Berrie.
Gertrude Muriel was at one time a pupil and boarder at St Catherine's Waverley in Sydney as was her sister Linda Constance but there is no evidence of the youngest daughter Margaret Gladys as a pupil there.
St Catherine's School traces its origins to 1855, when Mrs Jane Barker, wife of the Bishop of Sydney, decided to establish a school for the daughters of the clergy. Barker and her husband had travelled throughout New South Wales, and realised that the poor stipends of the clergy in country areas meant that their daughters could not benefit from a good education. Within five months, Barker had raised enough money to secure a premises in Point Piper Road (now Jersey Road), Edgecliff, and had hired Ms Loftus to run the St Catherine's Clergy Daughters School. Barker wished for her school to be modelled on Casterton, the school attended by the Brontë sisters, who were themselves the daughters of a poor clergyman. The Clergy Daughters School was officially opened in its temporary location on 5 March 1856. Shortly after the school's opening, Barker was able to secure a land grant of 5 acres (2 ha) near Waverley, and began to look towards the creation of a small missionary settlement, including the Clergy Daughters' School, a church, parsonage and a village school. In September 1857, the foundation stone of the new School was laid, and in 1859, the sandstone building which is remains the focus of the School today, was completed. When enrolments began to decline during the depression years of 1891–1895, day girls were admitted to the school for the first time.1
She won “The Works of Tennyson” for drawing, from "Clergy Daughters' School, St. Catherine's, Waverley, Christmas 1894”.
Her father Thomas Berry managed “Wallaroobie Station” near Cowabbie in the 1890s and that is how she met David Hannah. Her elder brother served in the Boer war.
She married David Hannah at “Wallaroobie Station” on 12 August 1896.
The Sydney Morning Herald, Saturday 29 August 1896.
A wedding took place at Wallaroobie Station, near Coolamon, on 12th instant. The contracting parties were Mr. David Hannah, J.P., of Cowabee station and Miss G. M. Berrie, eldest .daughter of Mr. Thomas Berrie, of Wallaroobie. The ceremony took place at 9 a.m., in the presence of a gathering of many friends, and relatives, the Rev. D. McKay Barnet, B.A., of Presbyterian Church, Narrandera officiating. The bride wore a simple and most becoming dress of cream silk, with wreath and veil and the bridesmaids were in cream and buttercup About 40 guests sat down to the wedding breakfast Mr. Barnet proposed the health of "The Bride and Bridegroom," to which Mr. Hannah suitably replied and proposed " The Bridesmaids," for whom Mr Claude Berrie responded. Several other toasts were honoured, after which the happy couple left at 1 a.m. for Coolamon, en route for Melbourne, for their honeymoon.
She then moved with her husband as he went from “Cowabbie Station” to northern New South Wales, then the “Jemalong Station”, “Cambridge Downs” and finally “Kilcummin Station”.
When her husband David Hannah died, Gertrude had to leave "Kilcummin". She purchased a pineapple farm at Tanby, near Yeppoon, and set about becoming to be a farmer at the age of 57 years. It would be interesting to know why she chose to grow pineapples when she had been involved for so many years with sheep and cattle.

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.
