Personal Notes:

Marriage certificate shows married a St Mary's cathedral.

SMH 24 Dec 1864
MARRIAGES.
On the 21st instant, at St. Mary's Cathedral, by the Rev. E Athy, Mr. David Maitland Cairney, son of Gordon Cairney, of Delbullon, Dumfrieshire, Scotland, to Miss Honora O'Connor, eldest daughter of Cornelius O'Connor, of Surry Hill, Sydney.

Death certificate shows married at Parramatta. And Mart Nora Elizabeth alive and 26 years old in 1905. Born in Cork. 56years in Australis. 10 on Qld, 46 in NSW.

Resided Parramatta, Kynuna, Charters Towers.

She said she had attended the 'old Normal School' in Parramatta.

Religion Roman Catholic
Immigration 1852 on Kate with parents.

Daughter's birth certificate shows that Honora was living at 619 Burke Street Surry Hills - which is where Conrelius was living.

The O'Connors had moved from 619 Burke st (see Cornelius notes) by 1880. Honora left Sydney area (Possibly to Parramatta) in 1895-6. Note that her mother (Mary Barry O'Connor) died in Nov 1896. Possibly the reason for the move away from Sydney. But why Kynuna Station which is a long way from Sydney and anywhere else? Was she going to a relative who lived there/

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.

My family tree. The original project begun about 1998. ID numbers less than about 6,000
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.
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.
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.
