A quiet wedding was celebrated at the home of the bride's father, Tumut-street, Adelong, last week, when Olive Muriel Melrose, daughter of Mr. Jas. Melrose, was joined in the bonds of matrimony to Mr. George Henry Litt, of Sutton Forest, Moss Vale. The bridegroom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Litt, of Wagga. Their future home will be at Sutton Forest.
Personal Notes:
The Tumut and Adelong Times 26 May 1931
BITUARY MRS. OLIVE MURIEL LITT Sad circumstances attended the death of Mrs. Olive Muriel Litt, which occurred in the Temora District Hospital at an early hour on Thursday Mrs. Litt (who was a native of Bangadang), and the youngest daughter of Mr. Jas. Melrose, of Adelong), was only 27 years of age. After marriage she resided at Moss Vale with her husband, Mr. George Henry Litt. Two months ago she went to Temora on an extended visit to her sister-in-law, Mrs. W. Keith. Last week her fourth baby was born. She appeared to be recovering nicely, when another trouble overcame her, to which she succumbed on Thursday morning. Keen sympathy is felt with her sorrowing husband and orphaned children, and also for the father, sis- ter and brothers, who went over from Adelong and Wagga respectively for the funeral. The body was interred in the Methodist portion of the Temora cemetery, Rev. E. M. Boyer officiating and Mrs. Murphy having charge of the mortuary arrangements. Among the sorrowing relatives are Mrs. B. Crouse (Alfredtown), Mrs. Simpson (Wagga), Messrs. N. Melrose (Batlow), Clarence Melrose (Wagga), Arthur Melrose and a step-mother and two step-sisters, who reside at Adelong.

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.
