PERSONALS Trove Tuesday 22nd Feb 2022

 

Personals can be a great source of information, much of which you might never have considered. There may be guest lists at weddings, or a 21st or even a funeral.. You may find where that missing person moved to, or what happened to them. There are often clues about families who are related .. previously unknown to you. 

Don't dismiss an area because you have never thought there could be a connection. Also, consider names that are spelt differently. I know it's very hard to believe, but there are sometimes errors in reports.

Enjoy...

Bringelly Public School 

Elizabeth St, Sydney

Wallerawang school in 1880.

Tent Hill School

Botany Public School

The original building, opened in January 1869, with attached teacher's residence at right. The roof still has the original timber shingles and gabled roof vents. Four of these vents can be seen projecting from the side of the roof. The three lancet windows in the building's main facade are typical of Gothic architecture. In the early 1870s 17 Moreton Bay Figs and 11 Norfolk Island Pines were planted in the school grounds. One of each, protected by paling tree guards, is pictured. The school bell is between the two trees.
