Personal Notes:
The Tumut and Adelong Times 17 Jul 1928
OBITUARY. MRS. MARTHA CUPITT The death occurred on Wednesday morning of a very old and highly respected resident of the Adelong district for over three-quarters of a century in the person of Mrs Martha Cupitt, at the age of 90 years, at the residence of her daughter and sonin-law, Mr. and Mrs William Laney, of "Koba", near the overhead bridge on the Uranquinty Road. The deceased was the relict of the late Mr. Joseph Cupitt, senior, of Adelong, who predeceased her in 1923, at the age of 89 years, after having resided at Adelong for over 67 years. The late Mrs. Cupitt had been living for the last six months with her daughter, and she passed away rather suddenly. She was born at Mittagong, and married at Berrima. She leaves one son, Joseph, of Queensland, and six daughters, Mrs Molt, of Melbourne, Mrs William Laney of Wagga, Mrs Rooke, Cowra, Mrs Dowsett, Mittagong, Mrs Beaver, Canberra, and Mrs Manns, Northern Rivers; and 2 grandchildren and 30 great grandchildren. The deceased was noted for her many kind and neighbourly actions. The funeral took place on Friday.

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.
