| 1001 | While Greg never married, he was constantly accompanied by glamorous women. One "infamous" lady of the 1960s Sydney scene who dated Greg was the subject of many newspaper reports when she was photographed in the "latest" topless fashion outfits which featured completely bare breasts in an otherwise conventional outfit. | Watson, David Gregory "Greg" (I475)
|
| 1002 | Who was Mary Millar? She has the same name as William's second motherin law but cannot be the same person as William's mother in law diedbefore 1860. It is possible that Mary was a relation of William'sfirst wife Catherine and was named for Catherine's mother. This was acommon occurrence in 19th century Scotland. Since Catherine was aninmate in the Paisley Poorhouse prior to her death in 1860, Mary couldhave been staying with William to help with his brood of smallchildren. On the other hand, Millar was a common surname and Marymay not have been a relation at all. | Millar, Mary (I6149)

| 1003 | WILL of 1786: To nephew William Olliver the freehold estate inGoring, Poling, Angmering, and Kingston and also the leasehold estate. No family or wife mentioned. Probably owned Pound House and farm,which then went to as above to his nephew William [1740-1820] and soto Willam's son James [1775-1839] as in the Tithe Map. Refer to landtax in James' notes. | Olliver, Thomas (I8096)

| 1004 | William and Emma moved to the Pudmans Creek/ Burrowa area not long after marriage. Their first child Martha, however, was born at Camden. According to the Burrowa Church Baptism Register when the second child, Elizabeth Emma, was born they were living at Pudmans Creek which was not far from Burrowa (towards Crookwell). Except for Charles Hopson, the fourth born child whose birth registration and christening were both recorded at Camden, the births of all the other children were registered at Burrowa. Charles Hopson's details regarding Camden could be that he was christened by a abtcuit Minister who was based at Camden. William was into horses and transport all his life and was both a carrier and coach driver. He had the Mail run from Binalong to Burrowa for twenty years and according to an obituary in the Burrowa News he had experienced periods of hard times on the Mail. They also lost their house and posessions in a fire during that time. The house was in Wellington St. Binalong. David, son of William and Emma, recounted many times that William had to be physically restrained from running into the burning house. He had a tin of gold sovereigns hidden under the floor boards. He did, however, manage to build a new home there (must have retrived the sovereigns) and it was still standing and occupied only a few years ago. It is interesting that his parents and all of their family, except Mary Ellen, moved to the area a few years after William and Emma first moved there. He owned many blocks of land in the Burrowa town area including a full block in Queen Street between Dry and Ford Streets and also along Ford Street in an "L" shape. It was here where he stabled and groomed his horses. William was 64 years old when Emma died and it seems that he lost a lot of interest in things after that. He lived at times with sons David and Herbert at Binalong. He died in the Yass District Hospital of cardiac dilatation and chronic bronchial catarrah. (which would probably be called pneumonia today). His death certificate lists him as being an old age pensioner at the time of his death. He would have enjoyed his later years as a large number of his family, grandchildren etc. also lived in Binalong. Emma's parents arrived in Australia on the "LAYTON" in 1838. Her father was working as a labourer on a property called "Glendril" when she was born. Her father died at Burrowa in 1872 and her mother, Emma (nee Jackway), died at Bowral in 1891. From that it can be assumed that Emma and her parents were never far apart. Emma kept a family Bible detailing all the births, marriages and deaths of her family and these entries were continued by her daughter Annie until she died in 1955, (Annie's death was entered by one of her own children). Emma died following a heart attack. She and William are buried beside each other in the Binalong cemetery. The Bible passed on to a member of the Moore family.

| 1009 | William joined the army in 1798 and was discharged in 1819 when he wasa sergeant and was granted an army pension. In the 1851 census he isrecorded as blind and living at Shapwick and is a Chelsea (war)pensioner. Also in that census his wife is Ann. The BVI lists themarriage at Shapwick 17-11-1836 and notes that both he and Ann werepreviously married. No record of his first marriage has been found todate. (07-2004) Because he was in the Army his first marriage couldhave been anywhere and as William is such a popular name the onlychance of finding any further details would probably be in the 1831census. His army record contains only his age and birthplace. Ann'smaiden was Ann WHITE. Her first husband was Thomas WHIFFEN who shemarried 25-9-1806 at Shapwick, Dorset. Anne Preston the On Line ParishClerk for Shapwick (and many other parishes) found this informationwhen searching the Shapwick registers. | Whiffen, Ann (I7979)

| 1013 | William Symons Jones Golding "EDDYSTONE" William Golding seniorwas born at Plymouth, England on 19th May, 1865. He was born WilliamJones and used this name on official documents, up to and includinghis marriage. His mother married George Charles Golding. After hismother died in 1879, George Golding decided to send William now aged16, to Australia to seek his fortune. There were now two youngerstep-brothers, and the father, after the manner of the times, seemedto regard it as William's responsibility to help provide for theseboys. Accordingly, the father arranged for William to be given a jobbreaking in horses on Sandilands Station. A letter from Londondated 3rd February, 1881, says, ''I was much pleased to hear that youare working so well'' finished with the forward closure of the time, Iam, my dear Willy, your loving father Ch.J.G.Golding. It is notclear how long William remained at Sandilands, via Mallanganee. Aletter from London from Charles Golding is dated 4th February, 1883,says, and seems to answer one of William's from the previous year.The father or step-father, tells Willy that he'' is determined not togo to sea again'', he has at last obtained a position as managingclerk at which he ''hopes to be able to scrape along as he says sadly,the two little boys, Charles and Ernest aged nine and sixrespectively, are now solely dependent on him. . They have been at a''Ladies School" 'for two years and according to their father are muchimproved both in manner and everything else. He also reminds Willy. Within the next few years obviously changed his allegiances and hisjob from Sandilands to the neighbouring stations, Ramornie, GordonBrook, and finally Yulgilbar. Edward Ogilvie's daughter andson-in-law, Charles Lillingstone were by now in charge of the stationand Castle, and they came to think highly of William Golding as anemployee. He was employed as a general station hand, carpenter andstockman and continued full or part-time employment on Yulgilbar formost of his life. In 1894, he married Emily Hamilton at Casino N.S.W.Emily's parents, John and Ellen Hamilton, were Yulgilbar Stationemployees, from the time of their arrival in Australia, which was sometime between 1850-1852. After their marriage William and Emily livedand worked at Yulgilbar. They lived in what was known as "TheLaundry". [This quaint stone cottage today has been restored and stillhouses Yulgilbar employees.] While they lived at ''The Laundry"their three sons were born. These were CtabDWilliam Symons Jones[1896] CtabDJohn Hamilton [1898] CtabDCharles Saunders [1901] Theyattended school at Yulgilbar Castle. The teacher was Mary Slade. | Jones, William Symons (I4203)
|
| 1014 | William went to sea at 14, then sold tea as a traveller. He was aminer at Emmaville and a barber and caterer at Hillgrove. He spentsome time with a hotel at Concord in the early 1890s, then returned toHillgrove where the girls "did" weddings and parties. William hada drinking problem by then and after all were married he came toSydney with Caroline and moved in with Mary Delaney and her family. | Smith, William Lebbis (I2349)

Hisfather [1701-1745] came to Corner House, East Preston, and when anadult William went to Littlehampton to manage the farm of the MissesDuke. He married the eldest daughter Sarah. His wealth then enabledhim to buy Kingston Manor. | Olliver, William (I8010)
|
| 1016 | Witnesses at the wedding were her father and brother, Bill Watson.Following their marriage the couple moved to the Wauchope area where they raised two children.
