Personal Notes:
John Beale arrived in Tumut in 1862. He was born in England in 1841, came to Australia in 1859, and worked in the New England district for six months and then at Yass. Trylng his hand at gold mining he went to Lamblng Flat (Young) and then to Tumut.

For a time John Beale worked for the Atkinson family who had a farm on the east side of the river upstream from Anderson's bridge. The Atkinsons had established a small brewery and it is believed that John Beale may have learned the trade of a brewer whilst working for them.

Later he engaged in the carrying business between Tumut and Sydney with a horse team.

John Beale, who was known to all as Johnny, was perhaps best known for the brewing business which he established in 1878 near the banks of McFarlane's Creek between Russell and Fitzroy Streets in partnership with a man named Sanderson. His beer was regarded as the equal to any in the State and was distributed to Gundagai, Adelong, Batlow, and all intermediate hotels. His teams of van horses were magnificent and his real pride.

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.
