From Bruce Carroll:

I have not been able to fill in the activities of Owen Carroll from his arrival in NSW but it coincides with the discovery of gold in the Bathurst region so I guess he was up there from early on panning for alluvial gold perhaps along the Turon River. As mentioned by the time they allowed mining shafts he and Harriette Beard had a mine on Hawkins Hill two along from Holtermans of the Holterman Nugget fame.

They floated a company for the mining operations in about 1871 or 1872.

Owen and Winifred also had a sheep property "Bingletree" (20000 acres) on the Upper Turon River. I have a photo of it but can't date it so can't tell whether it pre-dates or post-dates the gold discovery. I can't trace their title to it but looks like it was the subject of a Crown Grant to others in about 1900 so I guess they were squatters. It's now reduced in size and run as a riding school.

They built a house in Carrington Rd, Waverly called "Winniville" (must have been love) after the births of the boys. It was sold after Winnifred's death and has now been replaced with a block of home units.

Regrettably I don't have any photos of Owen or Winifred nor Thomas or Nabby Kelly and it would be great if something comes to light.
Courageous, tough and resourceful lot I expect and I'm very grateful for their endeavours.

Hi Listers

I am sending this message again as I omitted to say I was researching Kelly family of Galway. I know there must be hundreds of Kellys from Galway so I am hoping someone knows of this family

John KELLY , labourer married
Winifred WOOLERHAN

They had a son
Thomas KELLY born and christened at Lismanny, County Galway in 1820
He married Nabby COUGHLAN 12 May 1840 at Ayrecourt, Ireland. Nabby Coughlan was born 1819 at Cappa Naughton, County Galway
Thomas died 15 December 1881 in Tambaroora, Australia
Nabby died 7 May 1883 at Bathurst, Australia

Thomas and Nabby had seven children, all born in Australia
Can anyone give me any background on John Kelly or Winifred Woolerhan or Nabby Coughlan.
Did Thomas have any siblings?
Nabby could also have been known as Abby

I, and all the Australian descendants would be grateful for any information. Here's hoping and thank you
