- Notes: Adelong Splashes The death of Mr. Martin Donnellan, a few days ago, vividly recalls memories of an unfortunate fatal ac cident in the Gibraltar Mine some years ago, in which Mr. Arthur Tillet was killed. Messrs Tillett, Martin Donnellan and Dan Wiles were mates, having a tribute in the old workings of Ratcliff's shaft, on the Gibraltar company's lease. They were running stulls and picking the loose ore out of the mullock. Mr. Tillett had just walked on top of an old stull ahead of his mates, when the timber underneath gave way, and he was immediately enveloped in the dirt. The alarm was given, and it was at once seen that the poor fellow had not the slightest pos sible chance of being alive, and thro ughout the greater part of the night men worked feverishly to get his body, which they eventually did. On the alarm being given, men came from all directions to render assis tance in recovering the body. The shock to his mates was a terrible one, and, from that day, Mr. Donnellan was never the same man. He never seemed to get over the blow and shock, and gradually failed in health ever since, till death claimed him. Everything possible was done to relieve him, but he passed quietly away, and the remains were laid to rest in the Adelong Cemetery.
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.
