The Tumut and Adelong Times 19 Jun 1903
DEATH OF Mrs. MADDEN. We published in our last issue the sorrowful news of the death of Mrs Madden, and promised later on to give a brief outline of the old lady's history. She was born at Shana Golden, Co. Limerick, on the 20th Dec., 1833. In 1839 she came out to this colony with her parents (Mr and Mrs John Madigan), and after spending 18 months at school in Sydney she came to this district, the mode of transit being by a bullock dray driven by late Mr. Thomas Heally, the journey taking 6 months from the time the teamster started from Tumut until he got back home again. At the age of 17 years the subject of our obituary notice was married to James Madden (the marriage certificate was shown to us by Mr. E. J. Madden, and it was signed by Father Maginness, and dated June 20, 1852). Mr and Mrs Madden first settled down at Tarrabandra, and after remaining there for two or three years sold out for the purpose of buying some property at Bombowlee, where they remained for a time, until the opening of the gold diggings rush in Victoria, which attracted Mr. Madden's attention, and during a term of 4½ years there he put together about £2000. He then came back to Tumut, and bought some town blocks, including the one on which he and his faithful wife ended their days, after a sojourn of 41 years in the old homestead. It may be mentioned here that it was the late Mr. J. Madden who built the old Queen's Arms Hotel, and also the store at one time conducted by Mr. Body. Deceased being frugal and careful, was able to provide well for her old age, and has left comfortable bequests for members of her family (three sons and one daughter). There were nine members, but five of them predeceased their parents. Peace be to the remains of the kindhearted and indulgent parent, who was universally respected in the district where she had resided for so many years. The funeral, which took place on Tuesday last, was very numerously attended, notwithstanding the fact that it was a cold, wet day.

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.
