Personal Notes:
The Tumut and Adelong Times 21 Aug 1928
THE LATE MR. JOSEPH HIBBENS. In last issue we gave a brief account of the death of Mr. Joe Hibbens, one of the pioneers of the Tumut District, which occurred at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Walter Percival, Railway Town, on Tuesday night last. Deceased was not a native of the district, but came to Tumut with his parents from Rutlandshire. England, when he was about 8 years of age. When coming to manhood he engaged in many avenues of livelihood, and eventually settled down to farming and dealing on a small area on Bombowlee, afterwards purchased by Dr. Mason, and which has changed hands several times since. In 1875 he married Miss Emma French, daughter of the late Wiliam French sr., of Brungle. The issue by the marriage were: — Mrs. Wm. Wicht, Mrs. Walter Percival (Tumut), Mrs. Frank Green (Ganmain), Mrs. Andy Wilson (Howlong), Mrs. Bert Packett (Tumut), Mrs W. Hoad (W.A.), Mrs. Albert Herber (Bethungra), Constable Ernest Hibbens (Corowa), Mrs. Wells (Grong Grong) . Two other daughters predeceased him, as well as his wife in May, 1925. The funeral took place on Thurday afternoon, deceased being accorded Oddfellows' rites as well as those of his church, the Church of England, Rev. Rettie officiating, at the grave. Messrs. Fuller and Burt conducted the funeral arrangements .

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.
