Personal Notes:

Convicted of stealing 2 Lambs. Sentenced to life transportation

John Regent (a native of Stowmarket, Suffolk) came from England to Queanbeyan. The Regent family evidently moved to Tumut around 1850. Jonathan Regent and Isabella Smith marrled on 29th June 1848 at Christ Church, Queanbeyan. Their first child was born the same year. Their second Child Elizabeth was born on 15th September 1850 in the Tumut Valley.

For a time John Regent worked for Robert Cooke and it is claimed that he planted the great English trees now growing along the roadside at Petfield. Later he was employed for many years by George Shelley as a stockman on Tumut Plains station. He selected a farming property on Tumut Plains and there reared his family. Whilst mustcring cattle in 1862 he was struck by lightning. He was found three days later and brought to Tumut where he was buried in the Church of England section of the cemetery.

Some years later his son George Regent was working with H.L. Harris at Wermatong when the axe being used by Harris ﬂew off the handle and entered George Regent's stomach. Harris tied his waistcoat tightly around the wounded man, then raced to the homestead for a needle and thread with which, he securely stitched the gaping wound. Some while later George Regent became seriously ill and died. Another brother, Willie Regent, sustained a compound fracture of the leg whilst working at Wermatong. He was tied to a sofa and carried for
attention by a dector atTumut. Men had to be tough in those days to Survive the many serious accidents.

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.
