|
| 2408 | On his death, the following article appeared in the 'Dandenong Journal' on 19-SEP-1912: "He was born in Little Collins Street, Melbourne in 1841, being the youngest son of Mr William Monger who came out to Australia from England in 1838 and established the first timber yards and later on, a building contracting business in Melbourne. After leaving Brighton Park College, Mr Thomas Monger was engaged in pioneering work in Gippsland, being connected to the first flour Mill in Dandenong, a Saw Mill on the Tambo river, and in 1860, with the firm of Monger and Sons, Builders and Contractors, in Sale. His wife was Annie Isobel Roulston. About 1884 he became proprietor of Harvey Roulston's paper, 'Richmond Australian' and the 'Woodend Star' and in 1895 established the 'Westernport Times' in the coal district of Westernport." | Monger, Thomas Cox (I2378)

| 2409 | On his marriage certificate, Thomas gives his address as on board HM Ship, The Portland. HMS Portland, was the 6th (of eight) ships so named, the first being commisioned in 1653 and the latest in 2001. The ship in question was a 52 gunner, launched in 1822 in Plymouth. She served for forty years at the height of Britain's maritime supremacy, and for a time was Flagship to Admiral Sir Fairfax Moresby's Pacific Station before being sold in 1862 for £2250. | Holley, Thomas (I14231)

|
| 2416 | On the Jersey Aliens Registrations Card, Lilian's nationality was given as French by Marriage. | Donaghue, Lilian Emma (I18664)
|
| 2417 | On the marriage certificate, Elizabeth is described as a "Widow". Deserted by her first husband George - he had gone to India. She probably assumed that he indeed was dead. However, this marriage was bigamous. George returned to England in 1837 and somehow he re-established contact with Elizabeth. He made a convenient arrangement which allowed her "a small annuity, on condition that she did not come up to London" | Family F2982
|
| 2418 | On the marriage certificate, Ernest gives his rank or profession as "Army" and his address as 19, Lyell Road, Parkstone. | Family F2997
|
| 2419 | On the marriage certificate, Harriet claims to be 37. Her actual age was 46! | Family F4680
|
| 2420 | On the marriage certificate, the groom is shown as "Robert" Nowell. The reason for this is unknown although it could have been a mistake by the registrar due to the similarity of the names Albert and Robert. | Family F164
|
| 2421 | On the marriage register, William is still a Gunner in The Royal Artillery. He gives his address as the Barracks. William was a widower at the time of this marriage. | Family F5373
|
| 2422 | On the passenger manifest of the ship "Derwent", Catherine was recorded as an 18-year-old female orphan immigrant. She arrived, along with many other orphan girls, on 25 February 1850 as part of the "Earl Grey" scheme. The Orphan Emigration Scheme commenced in October 1848 and when it was wound up due to opposition from the Australian colonists in August 1850, 4,175 young girls had been sent from Irish workhouses to Australia. Many of the Irish workhouses participated in the scheme A large number of those workhouse inmates were children. Many were orphans, or alternatively had been abandoned by fathers and mothers no longer able to feed them. While they remained in the local workhouse they were a charge on the landowners of the area where they previously resided. No wonder then that Earl Grey, the British Secretary of State for the Colonies received much support from Irish landlords for his Orphan Emigration Scheme under which young girls from the Irish workhouses were to be sent to Australia. The scheme was designed to fulfill the two-fold purpose of helping to resolve Australia’s chronic shortage of female labour, while at the same time reducing the serious overcrowding in Irish workhouses. Not only that but the Irish landlords who financed the workhouse system also hoped to reduce their own financial burden by transferring as many orphan girls as possible out of the workhouse system. Into Place: Port Phillip Bay, Victoria, Australia | McGee, Catherine (I9450)

| 2423 | On this date, his wages were increased to 27/- (£1 - 7 shillings) per week. | Harper, John (I775)
|
| 2424 | On William's Military Attestation papers, he gives his marriage date as 25 June 1907. The BMD register however, records the year as 1908. Could this be because Gertrude, their first child, was born in 1908? | Family F3307
|
| 2425 | One (unconfirmed) report suggests that Arthur died of pneumonia as a result of sleeping under steam roller caravans. | Wooster, Arthur Charles W (I3484)
|
| 2426 | One unsubstantiated source suggests that Andrew was born in Geneva, Switzerland in 1730 and that he travelled to London just before his marriage to Mary Williams. It also suggests that he worked for, or was trading as, part of the French East India Company. There are a number of entries in London Directories between 1776 and 1800 documenting the company "Andrew Vezian & Co.". They are all categorised under "Merchants, Commerce(s)" and indicate that trade was being carried out at numerous addresses in the City of London. In addition, there are also several records of the payment of Land Tax by Andrew from 1766, including one in Broad Street, City of London, in 1800. | Vezian, Andrew (I22078)

| 2434 | Paraphrased from notes provided by Leonard's grand-daughter: "Grandpa (Leonard) was born in New Zealand and educated in Rangiora. He moved to the North Island to work and one day, while walking along the harbour wharves, he got talking to a captain and was offered a job on the SS Kumara sailing to Auckland, then to the UK. He didn't have much time, so dashed back to his boarding house, collected his carpentry tools etc. and returned to the ship. On arrival at Auckland, he sent a telegram to his mother in Rangiora to say he was going to the UK. The SS Kumara, operated by the Shaw Saville Line, arrived in the Port of London (Victoria Docks) on 23 April 1907. Leonard was subsequently signed off but soon found a job as a coach builder."

|
| 2445 | Percy was abandoned at, or shortly after his birth on the steps of one Mrs Fanny Pope. Fanny was, it is believed, connected in some way to The Salvation Army and she brought Percy up. Family history suggests that Percy was a difficult child and that he was in and out of Borstal until finally joining the Army when he was around 16 or 17. Fanny died when Percy was in his 20's. So far, no trace has ever been found of her. | Toghill, Percy Stanley (I4995)
