Acknowledgements

This project began in early 2005 but it built upon a considerable amount of research already undertaken by Faye Fullerton (nee O’Sullivan) since the early 1970’s, and by Bruce & Gordon Fullerton.  This research – most of which was done in pre-internet days – forms the foundation of Craig’s Family Tree.  Since 2005 a large number of people have made further contributions to the content of both Craig and Celine’s Family Trees.  Without their passion, skilful research and generosity this history would not be possible.  Whilst not exhaustive I have attempted to acknowledge these contributors below.

 From the Marshes to the Mountain – an account of the Sole family 1791-1991 by Faye Clark, 1991. A wonderful book for anyone researching the Sole and Old families in New Zealand. Craig’s GG Grandmother, Susannah Sole, was a part of this family. She married an Australian shearer Thomas Denis O’Sullivan in New Zealand and left her homeland for Australia with her new husband around 1884.

Gold at Harrietville by Brian Lloyd, Shoestring Press, Wangaratta, 1982.  A very interesting account of the history of gold mining in and around Harrietville in Victoria. The book contains numerous references to Jones family members, and other families connected by marriage. Craig’s GGG Grandfather, George Jones emigrated from Scotland in 1858 eventually settling in Harrietville. His wife Margaret and their 5 children followed him nearly six years later in late 1863.

 Bygoo and Beyond by Rob Webster, Privately Printed, 1956.  A wonderful account of the early days of white settlement around the Ardlethan area in the Riverina of New South Wales. Craig’s GG Grandfather, Patrick Durnan receives several mentions and the book includes pictures of Patrick and his wife Catherine (nee Guiney).

Grong Grong The Spirit of a Small Town by Grong Grong History Committee, 2003. A very entertaining collection of historical facts, reminisces and stories about the people and events that shaped this small town in the Riverina area of NSW. Among numerous references to O’Sullivan and Durnan family members, Craig’s Grandparents, John and Phyllis Sullivan, and their family are featured in the chapter entitled “The Sullivans of Waterview”. Waterview was the name of the family property situated between Grong Grong and Ardlethan.

The Fullertons of North America by Gordon W. Fullerton Jnr, Privately Published, Hawaii, 1973. An extensive record of the Fullerton families of North America and their origins in Scotland and Ireland. Quite extraordinary given it was produced in pre-internet days and on a typewriter. The book includes some very interesting research on the origins of the Fullertons, the name, and the coat of arms (see separate page under Our Family Trees section).

Descendants of Cadzow by N.I. Smart, Privately Published, Gulnare, South Australia, 1975. A detailed and well researched account of Michael Cadzow and Helen Meek and their descendants. Michael was a brother to Craig’s GGG Grandfather, William Cadzow, and he and his wife settled in South Australia leaving a lasting legacy of Cadzow descendants there, and in Western Australia.  I am searching for a copy of this book – please contact me if you know where I can obtain a copy!

Diary of Mary Martha Stack 11 July 1837 – 28 October 1837.  Journey from England to Australia aboard the barque Andromache edited by Denise Burton, Burmac Publishing, Canberra, 2013.  This is a reprint of the diary kept by Mary of her journey to Australia on the Andromache and provides a captivating account of what the trip was like.  Mary travelled in relative comfort as a cabin passenger, rather than a steerage passenger, but she had a lovely way with words and provides a real insight into life on board.  Craig’s paternal GGG Grandparents, Thomas George and his wife Mary (nee Whyllie) were also on board this ship on this journey as steerage passengers.
