Personal Notes:
The Tumut and Adelong times 28 Mar 1939
OBITUARY MRS. J. SPEIRS The death occurred on Thursday evening at her late residence, of Mrs. Lilus Fairlena Speirs (wife of Mr. Joseph Speirs), of 156 Tarcutta street, Wagga, after an extended illness. Born at Wyalong, Mrs. Speirs was the second daughter of late Mr. and Mrs. James Jamieson. She was married at Collinga, near Cootamundra, to Mr. Joseph Speirs, and until about 17 years ago resided in Cootamundra. They then moved to Wagga, where she had resided ever since. Mrs. Speirs was a very staunch and loyal worker in all Presbyterian Church affairs, both in Cootamundra, and until recent years in Wagga, and her keen support and kindly disposition have been greatly missed during her illness. She was also a keen worker for the Eisteddfod council, Shakespearian Society, Benevolent Society and Wagga Musical Society, and was always a supporter of everything which made for progress in the community. She is survived by her husband, Mr. Joseph Speir's, two daughters, Mrs. Melville (Eva), of Wagga, and Mrs. Hill (Lilian), of Burwood, Sydney; three sons; Jim and Alan, of Wagga, and Colin of Sydney; also one brother, Mr. Jamieson of Narandera, and two sisters, Mrs. G. Henry, of Cootamundra, and Miss Sadie Jamieson, of Sydney.

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.
