Obituary MR. JOSEPH WELSH In our last issue we made mention of the death of another pioneer in the person of Mr. Joseph Welsh. He was born in County Durham, England, came to South Australia 60 years ago, had many and exciting adventures there among the wild blacks, who, at that time, were very troublesome, but he came out unscathed. Thence he went to New Zealand, and had a very narrow escape from a ship accident going over. Remaining there for a time, he arrived in New South Wales, and entered the services of Messrs. Rankin Bros. at their Merool Creek Estate, where he was engaged shepherding for about 40 years. Leaving there, he came to the then Rankin Bros Estate at Bombowlee and shepherded for them until 1876, when he selected 40 acres of land fronting King's road to Lacmalac, settled down there for a while and finally sold out to Mr. W. Glynn. His wife predeceased him many years, and his late years were spent with his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs John Arentz. Notwithstanding the weight of 94 years, the old man had a great appetite, which only failed him a short time before his death. The cause of death was senile decay. He leaves behind him two sons, Joseph (Lake Midgeon) and William (Charters Towers), and two daughters, Mrs E. Crampton and Mrs John Arentz (both of Tumut) to mourn his loss. The funeral took place on Tuesday last, the remains being interred in the Presbyterian portion of the old cemetery. Mr. James Elphick was the undertaker, and Mr. D. Davies (son of Rev. R. E. Davies) officiated at the grave. We tender the bereaved ones our deepest sympathy.

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.
