in Campbelltown, New South Wales: some have stayed and made their homes and
lived their lives here, while others have moved on to other locations within
the state or across Australia.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Our family history society has many local families recorded within our
two Pioneer Registers (Campbelltown Pioneer Register 1800-1900 and Campbelltown
Federation 1900-1920) however there are many more early residents not listed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">These 'movable families' sometimes miss their connection with
Campbelltown and the surrounding areas, so we would like to include them on
this site ... <i>They lived in Campbelltown ... </i>thus<i> </i>recording
their links with Campbelltown and its history.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">We plan to use this Blog to showcase them and use it as a ‘medium’
for further information collection, as a two-fold process: to assist
our research enquirer and to supplement the Society’s records of these early
residents.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><i><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Should you know <u>more</u> of these families or <u>share</u> an
interest in the inquiry, please contact the Research Team</span></i><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"> and we will
contact the inquirer for permission to pass on their contact details. Only with
the permission of the research inquirer would this occur: family history
research <b>is</b> all about helping each other and this would be an example.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">NB: as a society we do charge a modest research fee (currently $30) this
in no way covers the resources or time devoted to each research inquiry: as
‘volunteers’ we give our time freely using our genealogy and local knowledge, our
access to free and paid research sites all with the desire to help fellow family
history researchers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Following information was provided by inquirers:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><b><u><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Research from England</span></u></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"> ... arrived during our COVID
lockdown, so our response was very much from resources held by our research
team and access to various internet resources.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">The family concerned is <b>Francis HENESS </b><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">who<b> </b></span>arrived as a convict
aboard the <i>Shipley</i> in 1820. Married (1) Mary Ann
<b>ROCK</b> (born colony) and had 4 children with Mary before she died in 1840. (2)
Martha <b>POLLOCK </b>(arrived free) there were a further 10 children born with Francis.
This information is recorded in our Campbelltown Pioneer Register 1800-1900 and
also in the Camden Pioneer Register 1800-1920. 'Pioneer Registers' are a great
starting point when researching, while not verified information, it is the
result of the contributor's many years of research. Registers offer possible
descendants and the point of contact with a fellow researcher of the same
family lines. Much of the information covering this request was listed in both
registers which only came from the relevant Society’s archives, however there can
often be a second, third or fourth contributor, with their contact details recorded
usually in the back pages of the registers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">The movement of Francis and his family throughout the early ‘county
areas’ of NSW was their main enquiry. Cumberland, Camden and Argyle are just
three of these early counties and often cause some confusion due to their name
and location. The 'County of Camden' reaches north of Liverpool, south to the
Shoalhaven area and west towards Picton. This is where local knowledge can be
invaluable (do consider contacting local societies for areas of your own
research).</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 16px;">Our England researcher (an Aussie now living in London) already had a significant amount of information and we were able add some more and give other possible venues of research.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Resources we used: Local cemeteries, Colonial Secretary’s papers, NSW
State Archive & Records, Pioneer Registers, Ryerson index, BDM's for NSW
and Biographical Database of Australia (BDA).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">The BDA was able to provide extra layers of information and this was
greatly appreciated by our inquirer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">I mention the Biographical Database of Australia (BDA)
because I have found it invaluable for early colonial records that can be found
in ‘one location’ and searchable by name. This organistaion is a spin off from
the early GRD (Genealogical Research Directory) our bible in the early days
before the internet. The original authors of the GRD were Johnson and
Sainty; their involvement would later morph into the BDA (a not-for-profit
organisation). There are a team of volunteers, under their direction and others
like SAG, helping to transcribe and check our early information. The cost to
become a member is $30 annually.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

COVID and where we followed a similar line of online researching. The
surname <b>GEOGHEGAN</b> (known name) / <b>GEOGAN</b> (shipping
records) we went on to find many other possible spellings:</span><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"> Geoghagan
/ Gehegan / Gergan / Gegan / Geoghan / Groghan. This can be a challenge as you
need to think laterally about all possible spellings, not just the one you know (this is due to the various and strong accents of the day heard by the recorder and given by the speaker, where most were illiterate and could not verify their details).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Our Canadian researcher (an Aussie now living in Canada) was looking
for details of the eleven or twelve possible children born to William Geogan
and Biddy (Bridget) nee <b>LENEHAN</b>/<b>LENNON</b> and to see photographs of their
‘tombstones’. They were believed to have spent twenty years in the Campbelltown
area. NSW BDM records show 7 born in Campbelltown and 1 born in Camden. The
family would eventually settle out west in the Yass general area. William died
at Gladesville Asylum (1882) and Bridget in Yass (1878).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">This family is NOT mentioned in any of our local Pioneer Registers,
there is a brief mention in the 4<sup>th</sup> edition of ‘They worked at
Camden Park’ and in the BDA their basic details on arrival in 1841 as Bounty
Immigrants, sent to NSW by Nicholas James & Co.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Our research team were unable to answer the inquirer’s questions. We
suggested this information could be found with the purchase of certificates
(also mentioned using transcription agents) however as most were pre1856 the checking
of microfilm reels was a possibility; these would sadly provide little further information (as little was recorded at the time). With the various spelling,
many hours would be required in searching the BDMs or the pre1856 microfilm reels, if indeed
all births were registered.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Our inquirer is trying to discover the exact birth details and death
information of an ancestor: William Henry <b>DAVIS</b> they believe he was born in Campbelltown circ1849-50, as he states Campbelltown as his birth place
and his parents as Thomas John Davis and Jane (nee <b>DEMPSEY</b>) this is recorded on his Tumut marriage certificate. William had married Mary <b>QUINN</b> in
1874 in Tumut, NSW. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Not everyone tells the truth on these occasions (for
whatever reason) and disappearing or reappearing was very easy to do in those
days, without the checks and balances in place today.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">William had died sometime after the birth of his fifth child (1883) and Mary remarried in 1891.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Looking in the usual places and starting with the Pioneer Registers we
found this particular Davis family was not listed. NSW BDM’s revealed little
joy even with extensive searching. Our inquirer had purchased several
certificates already and had completed many hours of research – this is their
preverbal ‘brick-wall’.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Sometimes it is necessary to obtain every certificate of every child
(birth or death) to obtain an overall picture to find the facts and glean
something from each certificate. Trove is also a wonderful resource tool, as
good news or bad news was newsworthy and would be recorded (hopefully)! <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Our inquirer has contacted the local societies in their quest.</span></p>

Allman was born in 1780 at County Clare, Ireland to English parents. At age 14

years he served in conflicts in the Netherlands, Egypt and Alexandria. </span></span></div>

this time he rose to the rank of captain. In the Peninsular Wars and as a captain
in the 48<sup>th</sup> Regiment, Allman was severely injured in a sabre attack to
his head and would have been killed if not for a fellow Masonic brother, a French
officer coming to his aid. Sadly the French officer was later killed and Allman
taken prisoner until the end of the war. </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18.4px;"> He was granted a life pension of £100 p.a. b</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18.4px;">ecause of his injuries.</span></div>

reservoir was built.
