Personal Notes:

The Tumut and Adelong Times 30 Oct 1928
TUMUT MAN ELECTROCUTED 33,000 VOLT SHOCK TERRIBLE INJURIES SUCCUMBED YESTERDAY Mr. and Mrs. Sid Cranipton, of Newtown, Tumut, received the heart-rending intelligence on Friday that their eldest son, Mervyn, aged 30 years, of Knox-street, Belmore, had met with a shocking mishap at Strathfield. Mervyn was working as a carpenter on the Strathfield Railway electric sub-station when, while on the roof of the building, he touched an electric cable carrying 33,000 volts. There was a sharp report, accompanied by a blinding flash, and the unfortunate man fell screaming to the ground, a distance of 20 feet. Workmen in the vicinity rushed to his assistance. Practically all the skin on Crampton's body and also his hair had been burned off. What measures that were possible to alleviate his pain were employed, and members of Western suburbs ambulance rushed him to the Western Suburbs Hospital. Yesterday word was received by his relatives in Tumut that Mervyn had passed away. Deceased was a man of fine physique. He leaves a wife (nee Miss Edie Emery, daughter of Mr. Chas Emery, formerly of Tumut and now of Sydney) and daughter aged 5 years, also mother and father, and three brothers (Hector, police constable), Ernest and roy.

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.
