Personal Notes:

From Norm Willis "The tombstone in the churchyard of St. Mary The Virgin (Anglican) in Whickham, DUR. does not identify Mary. I tried to without success* so requested a volunteer on the Genes Reunited Message Board/Community column to do census look-ups. She answered the same day with comprehensive information from the 1881, 1891 and 1901 censuses, and FreeBMD Birth
and Marriage data.
* John Thomas Willis and family in 1901 were transcribed with the surname as "William" but the census image is actually Willis.
The 1881 census lists only Mary with parents as LINSKY at 5 Queen St, Consett, DUR about 10 miles SW of Whickham. Her father Owen, 35, a Blast Furnace Man and mother Bridget, 35 were both born in Mayo Co, Ireland. Mary, 13 was born in MOLD, Flintshire, Wales about 12 miles west of Chester, Cheshire.
The 1891 census lists Mary Lynskey, 22, a Dressmaker, still at 5 Queen St, in Consett, DUR with father Owen, 44, a widower. FreeBMD has a Death record of a Bridget Linskay (sic) age 44, Q1-1891, #10a 194, registered in Lanchester District which includes Consett. There is also a boarder PATRICK SHANLEY, 26, Blast Furnace Assistant, born Ireland.
Mary Lynskey and John Thomas Willis were married in Gateshead, Q2-1893, #10a1161.
The 1901 census (*giving their surname as William) was in St. Paul Parish, Gateshead and lists John T, age 32, Mary age 33 with children Hannah 7, Ernest T. 3 and John George 7 months.
Also enumerated with them was a sister (sic, sister-in-law to Head John T) Annie Lynskey, 24 also born in Consett but I could not find a birth record in FreeBMD or IGI nor a record of her in prior area censuses."

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.

My family tree. The original project begun about 1998. ID numbers less than about 6,000
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.
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.
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.
