TWO SISTERS DIE
Together for Over 70 Years Death Parts Them For a Week Only
Two sisters who lived together for over 70 years have passed away within about a week of each other. On Thursday week last, Miss Johanna Brennan died at her home at "Eurobin," Gocup, at the age of 72 years. Going to her sister's funeral on the following Friday, Miss Mary Ann Brennan collapsed, and was taken to Mr. J. Brennan's place at "Eurobin." She lingered only a week early on Friday morning she passed away. Deceased was a native of Gocup, 75 years of age, and a daughter of the early pioneer, Mr. James Brennan. With her passing the last member of the fami]y has gone. Her brothers, Messrs. Martin, Edward, Lawrence, James and Michael, and her sisters, Mrs. Walkden (late of Chilton, Victoria), Mrs. N. L. Potter (one time of Tumut and Cooma), Mrs. G. T. Potter (Melbourne) and Miss Johanna Brennan (who died the previous week) all predeceased her. Mr. Jim Brennan, of Gocup, is a surviving nephew (his mother is a sister of the late Mr. H. J. Crowe, who died a fortnight ago.) The funeral took place on Saturday, the regains being interred in the Catholic cemetery, Tumut.

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.
