This month is it the Cameron branch.</p><p>On my tree I have Ann Cameron, baptised 21 October 1827, to Alexander Cameron (1799-1879) and Ann Lamond (c1799-1885), or so I thought. Alexander did marry Ann Lamond but AFTER, Anne b 1827 was born. Now there is nothing wrong with that except Ann L ISN'T Ann C's mother. </p><p><b>READ ALL THE INFORMATION ON OUR DOCUMENTS.</b></p><p>I'll get back to the marriage, after this.</p><p>On Anne C's death certificate* NO parents are listed, likewise on her marriage certificate*. I do have her baptismal certificate* and it states that Alexander Cameron had is daughter Ann baptised on 21 October 1827, in the Parish of Lochbroom. (No mothers were listed on Old Parochial Registers. The indexes on Scotland's People are being updated to include the mother's name.)</p><p>Searching Scotland's People I find four other children for Alexander from 1822 to 1830, all in Lochbroom BUT the mother is listed as Margaret. This is my confusion. </p><p>Going back through my documents I find an Old Parochial Register marriage entry for Alexander Cameron and Margaret McDonald in 1822* in Lochbroom. </p><p>Then I find a marriage for Alexander Cameron to Anne Lamond in 1841*. </p><p>What happened to Margaret? Still searching BUT on Alexander's death certificate*, it states, Married to Ann Lamond, previously to Margaret Macdonald. His parents are listed as Kenneth Cameron and Ann Davidson, but I have been unable to confirm this as I can't find a marriage. I do have a copy of an Old Parish Register of births for an Alexander Cameron born 17 November 1799 to John Cameron and Janet McKenzie in Lochbroom.* Still looking for their marriage but the month isn't over, yet.</p><p>For Margaret Macdonald, I found an Old Parish Register birth on 24 August 1899, to Rory Macdonald and Ann Innes, in Lochbroom.* Still searching for their marriage, too.</p><p>So as it stands the tree is Alexander Cameron and Margaret Macdonald,</p><p>Issue, </p><p>Janet b 1822 (075. 20/7) Lochbroom.</p><p>Lexy B 1824 (075. 20/11) Lochbroom.</p><p>Mary b 1826 (075. 20.16) Lochbroom.</p><p>Ann b 1827 (075. 20/19) Lochbroom.</p><p>John b 1830 (075. 20/26) Lochbroom.</p><p>So it pays to really read the documents you have and to be open to the possibility that you have made a mistake. </p><p>While it is a work-in-progress, I fell confident that this time I have the correct parents.</p><p>Certificate details.</p><p>Ann. Death, Victoria, Australia 12114/1913.</p><p>Ann. Marriage, Victoria, Australia 2286/1850.</p><p>Ann. Baptism, Scotland's People, OPR, 075, 20/19, Lochbroom.</p><p>Alexander and Margaret. Marriage, Scotland's People, OPR, 075, 20/28, Lochbroom.</p><p>Alexander and Ann. Marriage, Scotland's People, OPR, 075, 20/110, Lochbroom.</p><p>Alexander. Death, Scotland's People, Register of Deaths, 10/1879, Lochbroom.</p><p>Alexander. Birth, Scotland's People, OPR, 075, 10/27, Lochbroom.</p><p>Margaret. Birth, Scotland's People, OPR, 075, 10/45, Lochbroom.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Lilian's Treehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17739801792602020626noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5252176325747369769.post-51978323727202273362024-03-01T16:42:00.006+11:002024-03-01T16:42:42.737+11:00Ancestor Hunting, or should I say Pruning!<p> Back in 2021, I wrote a post about a challenge Fiona Brooker set us, you can read about it here. <a href="https://researchbylily.blogspot.com/2021/03/ancestor-hunting.html" target="_blank">Challenge</a></p><p>Well this year I'm selecting a family a month to research in depth and correct any mistakes.

the parents of Margaret Kidston NICOL, were John NICOL and Janet GRAY. Well…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The spelling of NICOL has been consistent in the documents I
have found but some trees and documents have had the spelling NICHOL. I search
using both spellings.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>Research Question.<o:p></o:p></u></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Who are the parents of Margaret Kidston NICOL born 1820?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>What I found.<o:p></o:p></u></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Well scrap the year of birth. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I really should stick to what is in front of me and really
review the documents.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Like:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>ALL</u></b> the census records, on Scotland’s People,
from 1851 through to 1891 have Margaret’s place of birth as being Gargunnock,
Stirlingshire, with her age range being from 36 in 1851 to 76 in 1891. Making a
year of birth being 1816.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Her 1893 death certificate has her age as 79, and no place
of birth. Making the year of birth as 1816.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I found a birth for Margaret NICHOL, daughter of John NICHOL
and Margaret ROBERTSON in 1816 in Stirling.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On Margaret’s marriage certificate, to Samuel GALBRAITH, she
is residing in Glasgow. The above John and Margaret moved to Glasgow, where
their son, Robert was born in 1818.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>My thoughts.<o:p></o:p></u></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m 95% sure that John NICHOL and Margaret ROBERTSON are my
Margaret’s parents because of the place of birth, for their daughter Margaret.
Given consistently on the census records and the calculation of Margaret’s ages
for the said censuses.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I still have to locate John and Margarets’ marriage but
there is a contender in 1803 at St Ninians BUT it’s a long time from the marriage

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 54.0pt; mso-add-space: auto;">The only other one that could be considered is the birth in Cupar, but it
is near Dundee, on the east coast of Scotland, and it was a twin baptism. I don’t
think that this is the correct Margaret, because of the birthplace.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 54.0pt; mso-add-space: auto;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 54.0pt; mso-add-space: auto;">Before I found the birth of Margaret, to Margaret and John in 1816, in
Stirling, I was certain that John and Janet were the correct parents and
looking at the naming pattern, they still could be.<o:p></o:p></p>

While the parents might have had them baptised, registered the birth, would they have kept a paper copy of such documents? Families might have had the Family Bible, with such information but what if they were so poor that they didn't? </p><p>Think of this, as children our parents told us it was our birthday, we didn't have the proof, until we needed it later.

Hello 2024<p> 2023 was a good year. Our health remained good and we did a big road trip in May, (now planning 2024's). I also returned to church and joined a Growth Group. Love being back.</p><p>I've read, attended talks, classes, lunches, did genealogy research, did heaps of reading, did some sewing and knitting and managed to keep a journal for the whole year. Surprised!</p><p><br /></p><p>What will 2024 bring?</p><p>I've a new journal to start, a trip away with one of our granddaughters, lunches and classes booked. We are planning our next road trip.</p><p>I've started a Photo a Day, on Facebook, will see how I go. No theme just what catches my eye. </p><p>Jill Ball posted a link to this blog Jennifer's Best Bookish Blog, <a href="https://bestbookishblog.com/" target="_blank">Bookish Blog</a> and it's given me some ideas for my 2024 reading. I'm going to use <a href="https://thestorygraph.com/" target="_blank">StoryGraph</a> to record my reading for 2024. GoodReads will still get used but I thought I'd try something different and my granddaughter suggested this one.</p><p>For 2024 I've made each month a different research focus. I've a paper folder and it is duplicated on the computer. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheYaMrL5VpONkqJYF6ZBz7O6SxZb6ajO1cH8-IAiFn6V8MXMHHTF2fcsAes2W5Tp7M-kJtyGesQEPz4cV2FViN_UIX3wfcExJ7yPGgslvKnN8ZN38IXh8tf3SUuoRQ51r0lydCvfqjbLxuabOoHBcOf0iDBSk7hWdi5DkJPAbAUBZHSK41Sd4xrI-Ls425/s4000/IMGP3872.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheYaMrL5VpONkqJYF6ZBz7O6SxZb6ajO1cH8-IAiFn6V8MXMHHTF2fcsAes2W5Tp7M-kJtyGesQEPz4cV2FViN_UIX3wfcExJ7yPGgslvKnN8ZN38IXh8tf3SUuoRQ51r0lydCvfqjbLxuabOoHBcOf0iDBSk7hWdi5DkJPAbAUBZHSK41Sd4xrI-Ls425/s320/IMGP3872.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Each month has Research Activity, Birth Brief and a page to list where I searched and what I found.<p></p><p>Even have the one for the Road Trip organised. <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRyDclDrF4yMjw9k4_qYh7US-HVinc_iR1QiNGBj_KHiHo8L9XlSa6P-2bNnDima1RydsowT_3bf09Az6wsalHzdr_BH_IECqcUeHOvepSsA5yptdUyR-XO4ZGFy2ybTCAA-Q4uCYwbitr0o2vHkpZopt9wNfsJL385Du7GVckJVs9ODruWF7S77m7QosH/s4000/IMGP3871.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRyDclDrF4yMjw9k4_qYh7US-HVinc_iR1QiNGBj_KHiHo8L9XlSa6P-2bNnDima1RydsowT_3bf09Az6wsalHzdr_BH_IECqcUeHOvepSsA5yptdUyR-XO4ZGFy2ybTCAA-Q4uCYwbitr0o2vHkpZopt9wNfsJL385Du7GVckJVs9ODruWF7S77m7QosH/s320/IMGP3871.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Reading, knitting, and jigsaws will still happen, a girl has to relax.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">2024 sees a couple of BIG birthdays, for family, so there will be celebrations!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">What are you planning for 2024?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here is a link to a previous post about how I set up my plan. <a href="https://researchbylily.blogspot.com/2023/10/planning-my-research.html" target="_blank">Plan</a></div><br /><p></p>Lilian's Treehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17739801792602020626noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5252176325747369769.post-45321044940342122892023-12-14T13:04:00.001+11:002024-01-07T13:23:24.539+11:00Accentuate the Positive, 2023.<p> Jill Ball invites us to do this every year and it is a great way to reflect on what you have done.</p><p><br /></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><b><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">Remember to</span></b><b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"> Accentuate

1. On revisiting some old research I found ...That I had mixed birth and
death dates up, so I fixed that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

2023 I hooked up with a new (to me) living cousin ... Several DNA cousins
but we haven’t actually meet, yet.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

pleased I replaced a tool I had been using with… replaced and upgraded my
laptop. The old one was out of date. The iPad will be next in January, for my
birthday.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

sledge hammer did great work on this brick wall ... nope, it didn’t work, might
need a jack-hammer!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">5. I
was pleased that I finally read ... Elizabeth </span>MacArthur's<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> Letters, edited by
Kate Grenville. It was an interesting glimpse into Sydney from 1789 to 1849.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

am pleased that I am a member of ... The Women’s Pioneer Society of

made a new DNA discovery ... several new 2<sup>nd</sup> and 3<sup>rd</sup>
cousins, including two who are mysteries and we are working out our connection.<br />
<br />
11. An informative journal or newspaper article I found was ...not
a journal but I found, in my paperwork an envelope and inside was the church bulletin
with details of two deaths in my husband’s family. It pays to go back through
that box of papers!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

enjoyed my wander around ... <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bowral

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

a mystery to me but I learnt ... haven’t used AI, yet, still thinking
about it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

best value I got for my genealogy dollars was ... Diahan Southard’s DNA
work book to go with her DNA book. She did a pdf one for those not in the USA.
It will be very useful.<br />

It felt good to contribute to ... Descent with my book reviews for the
Society of Australian Genealogists.<br />
<br />
17. It was wonderful to catch up with genimates ... at the 10<sup>th</sup>
Anniversary Morning Tea for the Society of Australian Genealogists, Writing
Group. Lovely to see friends again.<br />
<br />
18. I wouldn't be without this technology ... digital camera, either on the
phone or a camera.<br />
<br />
19. I wrote ...12 blog posts, (13 if you count this one), this year. This
one was interesting. <a href=" https://researchbylily.blogspot.com/2023/10/something-to-ponder.html" target="_blank">Something to Ponder</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br /></p>

positive I would like to share is ...that I have organised my research for 2024,
into months with either a person, family, or cemeteries to be researched. Still

In the past couple of weeks I've done some research on Elizabeth and while I still haven't found out what happened to her, what I found has been very interesting.</p><p><br /></p><p>Searching for any information about Elizabeth, I find her birth/baptism recorded twice on the New South Wales, (1) 6576 Vol 1B and 2) 439 Vol 10).</p><p>The first one has missing information and the second one includes them and reads;</p><p>Christian Name: Elizabeth</p><p>When born: 2 September 1823</p><p>Date of ceremony: 9 May 1824</p><p>Where ceremony performed: Parish of Post Macquarie</p><p>Where registered: St. Thomas, Port Macquarie</p><p>Father: John WHITEHEAD</p><p>Mother: Esther</p><p>Abode: Port Macquarie</p><p>Quality or profession: Prisoner</p><p>Very interesting.</p><p>A search of records has shown that both John and Esther were convicts. John arrived on the Elizabeth (1) in 1820 and Esther on the Mary Ann(3). Searching the Colonial Secretary's papers I found that Esther applied to marry three times, each one a different male, with John being the third one.</p><p>John and Esther married in Liverpool in 1823 and he is then sent to Port Macquarie. I an making an assumption that Esther was sent as well, but I haven't looked into that, yet.</p><p>Next I find Elizabeth being admitted to the Parramatta Female Factory in October 1827, with the parents listed as John and Esther. (Another mystery to explore.) She would have been 4 years old.</p><p>What happens to Elizabeth between 1827 and when I find her marriage to Henry Nicolls, is at yet unknown. On 3 December 1838 Henry and Elizabeth marry at Windsor and she is only 15 years old.</p><p>Henry and Elizabeth move to Goulburn and had three boys, that I know off. She then disappears.</p><p>What happened to her, is a yet unsolved. Henry thought she was alive, as he did put notices in the paper, say that if she contacted him, he would let her know how the boys were.</p><p>While Elizabeth isn't a direct ancestor, I am curious as to what happened to her. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Lilian's Treehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17739801792602020626noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5252176325747369769.post-37322250648016314932023-10-07T12:36:00.004+11:002023-10-07T14:46:10.726+11:00Adelaide Ironside<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In my two previous post about Adelaide Ironside, (read them both through these links, <a href="https://researchbylily.blogspot.com/2016/08/trove-tuesday-my-350th-blog-post.html" target="_blank">Adelaide</a> and <a href="https://researchbylily.blogspot.com/2019/10/a-convoluted-conection-to-someone-famous.html" target="_blank">Famous</a>) I said that I would do another post and well here it is, somewhat late.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In 1987 Jill Poulson wrote a book about Adelaide titled <i style="font-weight: bold;">Adelaide Ironside, The Pilgrim of Art. </i>The book is a beautiful account of Adelaide's life and her art.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Adelaide was born in Sydney in 1831 and died in Rome in 1867.

This gave me some useful information on several of the families, connected to the cemetery. I also sent some time at the National Library of Australia, in Canberra looking at very old maps. Unfortunately while they were interesting, they didn't have land owner's names on them, so I was unable to see where they lived. </p><p>I still have to do some research at the NSW State Library and the Royal Australian Historical Society, to see what their collections might hold.</p><p>While we were in Canberra we did a chocolate tasting at the Murrumbateman Chocolate Factory.

You can read it here, <a href="https://researchbylily.blogspot.com/2022/01/a-new-year-what-will-it-bring.html" target="_blank">What will it bring,</a></p><p>As a year 2022 was better in some ways, as were weren't locked-down and were able to travel but in other ways, it was difficult. Rain, rain and more rain, with some towns, even now still under flood warnings, seems to have been a main topic of conversation. The brutal invasion of Ukraine, still has the world holding its collective breath. Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth 11, platinum jubilee, was a piece of history that probably won't be seen again, followed by her passing in September and the accession of Prince Charles to King. </p><p><br /></p><p>Closer to home, I did do what I said I would. </p><p>No A-Z Blogging Challenge and my total of blogs reached 31, for the year. I did do blogs for both Women's History Month and National History Month.</p><p>No Goodreads Challenge, but I read and wasn't worried about meeting a target. Some weeks I hardly read, while others I read several books. But I enjoyed it!</p><p>I finished my two DNA subjects and then did a short one through Future Learn and I learnt new and interesting information. I also did a six week course, Essential Speaker Skills for Family Historians, through Family History Academy.

Looking forward to doing more in 2023.</p><p>I did finish the jumper and it is very warm. Started a blanket cape and that will be finished soon. Done all in one piece there won't be any sewing to do.</p><p>Finished six quilts, for me and did four quilt tops for charity, along with six draw-string bags as well. My quilting mojo came back!</p><p>We did some traveling, time spent in Victoria doing part of the Silo Art Trail, Canberra for Mother's Day and I did some research on a one-place study. Also a trip to look at the tulips at Hill Top Gardens, beautiful.</p><p>I've also undertaken a research project on Mummell Roman Catholic Cemetery, Range Road, Mummell, as a one-place study. I've set up a blog about the research I'm doing and in 2023 plan to spend time in archives and libraries doing said research.</p><p>2022 also saw me handover my two volunteer roles and taking a step back. I'm now just an ordinary member of the two groups and wish those taking over the best in their roles.</p><p>November was a time of joy, when I attended FamilyHistory DownUnder, IN PERSON! It was the first time many of us had been together since RootsTech 2020. Four days of excellent talks, wonderful conversations with friends and good food.</p><p>So did I recharge? Yes! While the year seemed busy, it wasn't frantic, things got done, some things didn't or took longer than planned but I went with the flow. I'm looking forward to 2023 and what lies a head.</p><p>I think 2023 might be my Year of Research.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyI9_mLhCMteMfF4Vq_ve3snFvVEP-Q_8vkaBHaEIxrJfV2kNWIWXe_SHUb7IeVakWDEkWlcldLfm-l-VncKLFGTmfaoI_K1oB15GY5Jw_7VYEZjQb0srO4MQXapHnKPDV54hMs_nQvAZtmQjFSfX2opSkWFYuOwQyoD8J_5EcUQEpXY5VwoYaWpr9MQ/s4608/20220113_175338.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2240" data-original-width="4608" height="156" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyI9_mLhCMteMfF4Vq_ve3snFvVEP-Q_8vkaBHaEIxrJfV2kNWIWXe_SHUb7IeVakWDEkWlcldLfm-l-VncKLFGTmfaoI_K1oB15GY5Jw_7VYEZjQb0srO4MQXapHnKPDV54hMs_nQvAZtmQjFSfX2opSkWFYuOwQyoD8J_5EcUQEpXY5VwoYaWpr9MQ/s320/20220113_175338.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Lilian's Treehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17739801792602020626noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5252176325747369769.post-46344397578408556722022-12-21T13:37:00.007+11:002022-12-22T10:32:22.714+11:00Accentuate the Positive <p><span style="font-size: medium;"> <span style="color: #222222;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial;">Jill Ball reminds us to do this each year, so here is my 2022 </span></span></span></p><div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" trbidi="on"><span><span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 18.48px;"><br style="line-height: 19.0909px;" /><span style="line-height: 19.0909px;"><span style="font-size: 13.2px;">1.

I've set a time period of 100 years, from 1852 to 1952, found 39 deaths in that timeframe, buried there. Well I thought there were 39, then it became 38 and now today it COULD be 37.</p><p><b>My Problem.</b></p><p>16 December 1893, James McAleer died, he was buried 17 December 1893. Now here is where it gets confusing. I have four different transcripts of his headstone and a photo of the headstone, and they all say he was buried in Mummell R.C. Cemetery.</p><p><b>BUT, </b></p><p>His death certificate, the book of burials I have and his obituary all say Crookwell.</p><p>I've yet to physically walk around the cemetery, to check the records but the photo is from the local family and historical society, so it should be correct. The other details, on the headstone regarding his wife Eliza, are all correct.</p><p>A problem that will require some more researching and the asking of interesting questions, like; "Was he really buried in Crookwell and his name added to the headstone of his wife?" Are there two James McAleer's dying on the same day, in the same place and being buried on the same day?" Even to me that one seems very far fetched as I'm sure it would have made the local paper.</p><p>Confused? Yes, I am!</p>Lilian's Treehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17739801792602020626noreply@blogger.com0
