I must congratulate the Hume Leader for the part it plays in making its readers aware of the efforts a dedicated band of residents make to preserve the area's heritage. There have been about six articles in the past year about the Broadmeadows Historical Society's problems and the efforts of the Friends of Will Will Rook Cemetery in researching pioneers who are buried there,including three Anzacs,who are the subject of this week's article.

Hume Leader for Mar 17, 2015
How to honour our lost men

A campaign has begun to recognise soldiers’ unmarked graves in Broadmeadows, Natalie Savino reports

the fact they’ve got no recognition whatsoever, to me it’s one of those things that we need to do
– KEVIN O’CALLAGHAN

From page 01. WITH a century nearing since the Gallipoli landings of World War I, every effort is being made to preserve the history of our Diggers.

In the lead-up to the 100 year commemorations, the Hume Anzac Centenary Committee is working on having unmarked burial places of World War I soldiers recognised by the Office of Australian War Graves.
According to committee member Kevin O’Callaghan, three plots have been identified at Will Will Rook Pioneer Cemetery in Broadmeadows, including that of Private Robert John Bruce, who enlisted at the age of 28.
Pte Bruce was a horse driver who served with the 14th and 46th infantry battalions.
He did a year of combat service in France but was hospitalised in July, 1917 with pulmonary tuberculosis, believed to be war-related, and returned to Australia months later.
He died on November 21, 1918 — 10 days after the armistice — at the age of 32.
Also buried in Broadmeadows is Pte Robert Alan Burkitt, a dairy farmer who enlisted in February, 1915 at the age of 24 and served with the Light Horse.
Just over a month later, Burkitt received a typhoid inoculation and became ill over the next few days, returning on sick leave to his parents’ home in Brewster St, Essendon.
He died from septicaemia on March 22.
Perhaps one of the most committed soldiers was Pte Alfred Ernest Albert Patullo, who enlisted on three separate occasions, the first time at 47 years old.
For almost two years, Patullo served with the 1st Remount Unit but was sent back to Australia due to illness and age.
At 50 years old, he joined the 3rd District Guard for about five months but was again discharged due to age.
On the third try, he lied about his age, saying he was 47 years and 11 months, and spent almost four years with the Australian Army Service Corps transport unit.
It’s hoped a monument will be built to remember the men, three of many who died as a result of their war services.
“When you look at the age of these blokes and what they gave and the fact that they’ve got no recognition whatsoever, to me it’s one of those things that we need to do,” Mr O’Callaghan said.
“It’s what every Australian owed to the people who went overseas.”
Friends of Will Will Rook Pioneer Cemetery secretary Beryl Patullo said it was important the soldiers were recognised.
The committee is seeking descendants of the soldiers, particularly Bruce and Burkitt, in order to have the graves appropriately marked. Anyone with links can call 0400 511 188.

The following was to be part of a new journal which for some strange reason is UNDER REVIEW. As the journal, concerning the launch of a book about the WILL WILL ROOK CEMETERY today (18-5-2015) at the Age Library, and the chance discovery of the Shire of Broadmeadows Roll of Honour downstairs in the Hume Global Learning Centre may never appear, I've decided to post the former here.

As Bob (Mackay of the Essendon Historical Society) and I moved up to the Age Library, I was greeted by Elaine Brogan, whom I last saw at the same time as Bob, and then Nanette Stewart, and Beryl Patullo, both of whom helped me with my research twenty plus years ago, and Yvonne Kernan,who with Beryl has helped me greatly in recent times. I had never met Nannette, Beryl and Yvonne and it was a pleasure to see them in person for the first time after so many years.

The cost of the book is $15 (plus postage,I presume.)To obtain a copy,ring 0407 687 755 or email .
I will list the families featured in stories in order of appearance and list surnames of those buried in alphabetical order so that family historians will know whether their families are included. If they are not, and should be,please use the contact details above to let the Friends know details.They have consulted many sources but some families may have been missed because of records that were lost when the City of Broadmeadows became the City of Hume.

PAGE 20, HUME LEADER, MAY 19, 2015.

KEEPING track of burials at Will Will Rook Cemetery will no longer be such a grave task.
A book, The Story and Burial Listing of the Will Will Rook Pioneer Cemetery, was unveiled yesterday following more than two years of hard work.
Spearheaded by the Friends of Will Will Rook Pioneer Cemetery, the project streamlines all known burial listings for the cemetery into one resource.
Secretary Beryl Patullo said it would help those interested in researching their family history.
“There’s never been a proper existing record of burials because the actual burial records weren’t kept properly in the early days or the later stages, or they just got lost over the years,” Ms Patullo said.
There are 1555 recorded burials at the cemetery.
Listings were recorded from 1854 until the cemetery closed in 1959.
Copies will be on sale, with some also available at Broadmeadows and Plenty Valley libraries and Broadmeadows Historical Society.

BURIAL LISTINGS AS PROMISED ABOVE. TO SAVE ME MUCH TIME, SURNAMES WILL BE GIVEN IN UPPER CASE. YEARS OF DEATH/BURIAL WILL BE GIVEN SO THEY CAN BE COMPARED WITH KNOWN GENEALOGY.
The book provides register number,given names, age at death,religion and names of parents in most cases and date of death in many.

Some years are in brackets to indicate that people with the same surname were unlikely to be related. For example the LYONS who died in 1913 1925 and 1946 were all related to the Easterbrooks, and Presbyterians, while the death in 1938 was of a 2 month old R.C. boy, parents unknown,and probably from St Joseph's Foundling Home.

I NEED A BREAK FROM TRANSCRIPTION, SO.....
I stated that I believe that William Mogford owned the OLD COACH HOUSE on the Broad St corner in which the late Jack Hoctor was born. I've read this somewhere and if the locals were correct about the name they gave the house, this makes sense because William Mogford was a coach proprietor. In 1875 William was also running the Victoria Hotel just a bit uphill in Ardlie St from the Broadmeadows Hotel. His son,William, later moved to Wangaratta and married a girl from that area. His mother must have gone with him because James Tomkins mentioned her time at Broadmeadows in an article in (I think) a Benalla newspaper. James was probably the son of Tommy Tompkins who would have well-known Broadmeadows before becoming a pioneer of (Bulla or Keilor?)

One of the stories in the book, about the burial of Mrs Dutton's leg, mentions that Thomas Dutton had built the old stone house now known as 10 Broad St. Somebody at the launch referred to it as a bluestone house, which had me puzzled. I asked if it had been rendered because I thought it was sandstone or mudstone. The following confirms that Thomas Dutton probably did build the house and that Timothy Hoctor (Jack's uncle if I remember correctly) was occupying the house at about the time that Jack was born. It is of interest that few Hoctors were buried at Will Will Rook; I think that many of them were buried at Keilor.

10 Broad Street, Westmeadows Place No.- 187 - Hume City ...
www.hume.vic.gov.au/files/...3522.../10_Broad_St_Westmeadows.pdf

Property
This house was built on CZ3/5 which was purchased by Thomas Dutton of *Moonee Ponds in 1850. This name is not recorded in the 1851 directory for Melbourne and vicinity or the 1857 Melbourne directory. Neither Payne nor Lemon cite the name in their indices.
However, the earliest rate book does list Dutton as the owner of a leased ‘house & garden’ at Broadmeadows in 1863. The tenant during the 1860s was William Cox, followed by John Carroll in the early 1870s and then a Thomas Dutton (junior?), a farmer, resided there during the 1880s. The owner, Thomas Snr., was listed at Rochester.

From c1872 it was referred to as a stone house (sometimes plus stabling) but the annual valuation does not change dramatically throughout the 1860-70s period indicating that it was stone in the first listing. The late 1880s had a new tenant in John Grant, a contractor, followed by William Corrigan, a farmer in the early 1890s. By the mid 1890s, Dutton is back in residence, this time his occupation was storekeeper. Thomas Snr. Then resided in Union road,Ascot Vale. In the early 1900s the house was described as ‘near the windmill**’ while Timothy Hoctor, a labourer was the tenant. Michael Hoctor, a butcher, took over c1910 and remained there into the 1940s, with other members of the family listed as the owners and 12 persons in
residence in the 1930s. Thomas H Dutton had ceased to be the owner c1920.
Local information suggests the place has been known as the Old Coach House,
suggesting a connection with the coaching activities of Cobb & Co. and that it was the site of Grant’s Livery Stables in 1850, a stop-over for coaches operating between Melbourne and Broadmeadows. The Coach Service ran daily from the bush Inn in Burke Street Melbourne,leaving there at 4.00 pm and returning at 8.00 am the next day (return fare 4/-) (Historical Society).

My suspicion was correct.

And the story by James Tompkins.
Mr John Peter, who owned the station, and was a real type of an old Scotchman, had
nine years before married a widow named Burke, who owned Gumley Gumley station, a few miles above Wagga, on the Murrumbidgee River. Mrs. Peter died a few years ago at Broadmeadows at nearly 90 years of age. Mrs. Mogford, of Mt.Pleasant, knew her much better than I did, having lived alongside her for years.
(P.3, Benalla Standard,21-6-1907.)

John Carre Riddell was granted section 6 and 15 of the parish of Tullamarine and the part of his grants bounded by the present Derby/Wright St, Moonee Ponds Creek, Mickleham Rd and the Londrew Court houses, was purchased by John Peter who probably gave it the name of Chandos. My great grandfather, John Cock, leased this property and purchased it about the time this article was written, selling the southern 140 acres, Strathconnan, and the northern part which later became Percy Judd's Chandos, keeping the central 198 acres,which later became Cr Bill Lockhart's Springburn.

TOMMY TOMPKINS? LET'S ASK ISAAC BATEY WHO, TO MY KNOWLEDGE, ONLY EVER MADE ONE MISTAKE, WHICH WAS REPEATED IN THE 1970 TULLAMARINE METHODIST CENTENARY BOOKLET.

At Bulla was Tulip Wright's Bridge Inn, which he had built and moved into, according to his youngest daughter, in 1843. Across the creek stood the wattle and dab-grass thatched hut of Foot-constable Tommy Tompkins, who was afterwards transferred to
Keilor. His dwelling was the only one on the Melbourne side of Bulla Bridge, from which no house was to be seen till the Lady of the Lady was reached.
(P.2,Sunbury News, 27-8-1910.)
The correct name of the hotel due east of George Mounsey's block was the LADY OF THE LAKE.

*IN CONCLUSION, In early days, Moonee Ponds meant near the Moonee Moonee Chain of Ponds. Thomas Dutton of MOONEE PONDS was probably leasing a portion of Donald and Duncan Kennedy's GLENROY ESTATE. In THE STOPOVER THAT STAYED (History of the City of Essendon, wrote at length about the difficulty John Cochrane was having on his farm Glenroy IN MOONEE PONDS and in THE GOLD THE BLUE (a history of the Lowther Hall school), A.D.Pyke described Peter McCracken's farm Stewarton as being IN MOONEE PONDS when it was actually the northern 777 acres of today's Gladstone Park.

**By the way,the township's war memorial now stands on the site of the windmill. (Jack Hoctor.)

I forgot to write the name of the author of THE STOPOVER THAT STAYED. It was Grant Aldous who also wrote THE SHIRE THAT TOOK OFF, a history of the Shire of Bulla, over which I.W.Symonds' BULLA BULLA was chosen as the shire's official history, possibly because of pressure exerted by the Clarke family of Rupertswood. They would not have liked the story about George Evans of Emu Bottom leaving his pistol on the table when Big Clarke came calling as a reminder that Evans' young wife Annie (nee Holden)was not to be another of Clarke's conquests. The manuscript was read at the Sam Merrifield library at Moonee Ponds.

The Papworth entry confirms that the Methodists who bought land on the Machell brothers' grant on the south west corner of Somerton and Mickleham Rd, north of Swain St, had called that area Providence Plains, rather than this being only the name of Thomas Mallows' farm. GREENVALE LINKS WITH THE PAST, written by Annette Davis and reprinted under another surname (Ferguson?)gives excellent detail about the Papworth family and the Methodist church. The Papworths were related to the Johnsons, who owned the subdivision blocks between Swain St and Providence Lane, received the grant at the north west corner of Craigieburn and Mickleham Rds near Mt Yuroke (Crowe's Hill)and returned to the area in the early 1900's occupying Glendewar, Cumberland, and Spring Park near the A.J.Davis Reserve in Keilor Rd.The Pathworths were also related by marriage to the Lancasters and Bonds,other Methodists who settled on Providence Plains.

His wife (nee Roberts, from London)and Mrs Robert McCracken of Mascoma and Ailsa(respectively)could hear him from their homes near Mt Alexander Rd. As the Essendon Football Club first played at Ailsa, John naturally became involved and as Vice President wore a Sturt Desert Pea flower in his lapel at all games. In 1882,he bought Lebanon at Strathmore and sneakily added Sir John Franklin's 12 acres to his domain. It is no coincidence that the major east-west thoroughfare through Strathmore is called Mascoma St. His son,Harry Huntington Peck, who wrote MEMOIRS OF A STOCKMAN, lived at the top of Kilburn St in "Hiawatha", another of Strathmore's historic homes and another reminder of the family's Yankee origins. Two of John's daughters married William Allison Jnr and Alexander McCracken. The former was the son of a lime merchant who bought much land on the Mornington Peninsula in the parishes of Wannaeue and Nepean and the newlyweds lived in a house (criminally demolished)called Wannaeue on the site of today's Red Rooster near the Pedestrian overpass.

ROBERT JONES (BOX FOREST).
Although it is a quarter of a century since I transcribed Broadmeadows rate records,I remember the Jones family being among the few residents at Box Forest. This square mile, section 2 Will Will Rook (Melway 17 D4), was one of many parcels in Melbourne's north west granted to John Pascoe Fawkner. A great supporter of the yoeman farmer,he formed a land co-operative to enable the little man to buy a block of about 6 or seven acres. Many blocks were purchased by speculators however and in most of his subdivisions, blocks were consolidated by such as Paul Tate on Tullamarine Island, the Mansfields and Ritchies between McNabs Rd and Deep Creek,the Loves near Bulla Rd; the same happened at Box Forest.

Box Forest is between the Northern Golf Club and Fawkner Cemetery with Hilton St and Boundary Rd forming the north and south boundaries,the latter being the boundary between the parishes of Will Will Rook and Jika Jika to the south.

JONES.On the 25th inst., at Box Forest, Isabella,the beloved wife of Mr. William Jones, and daughter of Mr. George Sommerville, of Warrnambool, after a long and painful illness.(P.4, Argus,26-6-1861.)

George Somerville was back to his old stomping ground by 1869 and was one of the above members.

In 1849 George Sommerville built a property on Sydney Road in what is now Coburg (but was then known as Dry Creek, which was also known as Pentridge) and wanted to get a license to run it as a hotel. The license was refused but at the same time James Parslowe had the license of the Young Queen Hotel on Old Sydney Road at Pascoevale after the previous license holder, William Smith, was convicted of manslaughter in July 1847.

In October 1849 James Parslowe moved his license for the Young Queen Hotel at Pascoevale to George Sommerville's property in Coburg. Then in December 1849 the Young Queen Hotel license was transferred to George Sommerville from James Parslowe.

At the same license hearing on 5 December 1849, William Smith was again granted a license for the original Young Queen Hotel on Old Sydney Road at Pascoevale. So this meant that by the beginning of 1850 there were 2 Young Queen Hotels, one on Sydney Road Pentridge (Coburg) run by George Sommerville and one on Old Sydney Road Pascoevale ran by William Smith.

SOUTER 1943 1946 (The Souter family farmed at Greenvale and was related in some way to the Gamble family of Springfield North which the Gambles named Brocklands after an ancestor, John Brock, an early squatter near Mt Macedon and a pioneer near Janefield (Bundoora)named after his (wife?) One of the Souters was a teacher. SOURCE: Myrna Gamble of Gladstone park circa 1990. Aitken College bought Brocklands.)

SPIERS 1869 1869 1882 1883 1884 1900. The Spiers family farmed the 101 acre farm at Tullamarine, now containing Francis Briggs Rd, that was called Ecclesfield when it was purchased from Bill Ellis for the airport circa 1961. Peter Spiers died in 1911 but does not seem to have been buried at Will Will Rook.

Yes! Peter Spiers is buried at Will Will Rook.
Neither you nor Neil would have been able to find the notices. Both death and funeral notices under the name SPEIRS and very difficult to read. I have since corrected and tagged under both spellings.

SWELL in the R-S burials above is almost certainly SEWELL. It was not until I was doing the THOMAS entry below that I realised that SWELL was probably a typo. The Sewell family was very prominent at Glenroy and the recreation reserve is called Sewell Reserve.

FINISHED.

CORRECTION. SWELL/SEWELL.
When I assumed that SWELL was SEWELL, I'd lost my internet signal and could not check this on trove.

Cr Sewell was Broadmeadows Shire President in 1950-1 but the earliest link found so far between the family and Glenroy is the marriage of Denis Branigan Jnr (from an old pioneering Bulla family) of Glenroy, to Miss Sewell of Berwick in 1935.

The following proves conclusively that SWELL was correct.

SWELL.—On the 9th November, at Glenroy (suddenly), Thomas Swell, beloved husband of
Meanah Swell, and only brother of M. A. Swell,Brighton, England, aged 67.
P.9, Argus, 11-11-1899.)

There does not seem to have been a funeral notice.

Love reading all this. Even though I am not related to anyone mentioned,I do live in one of Hume's suburbs. My ancestors are 3 convicts,a Prussian couple and ancestors from Scotland,Wales and Cornwall. My Scottish convict ancestor was born in Grenada in the Caribbean. Have been told I am probably related to half of the Victorian Southern Peninsula.

You've got me intrigued about the Southern Peninsula connection, Sylvester. Can you tell me some of the Southern Peninsula surnames that might be involved? Were they from the Cape Verde Islands? If so there's a Facebook group consisting of descendants of these islanders, such as Antonio Albress, Tony Salvas, Ascensio De Freitis, Amelia Beck, Peter Thompson etc., who were mainly connected to Sorrento and Rye (some with Richmond.) One of the members just discovered that Amelia Beck's sister was born in America and other ancestors were associated with Jamaica so your Scot born at Grenada could have had Cape Verde Islander ancestry.

If not, which other pioneers of the Southern Peninsula might be in your family tree. I probably have information about them. Can you private message me as this journal is about a different area. Click on itellya (blue text)and you'll see CONTACT somewhere.
