Newbound News: Two old Barnie identities

Mary Ann Ohlin married Irvin Roger Newbound at Rutherglen in 1889.

They had 11 children
Alexander Joseph b1890
John Thomas b1892 d1892
Roger Irvine b1893 (Rod)
George William b1895
John Thomas b1898
William b1900 (Bailey or Bill)
Thomas James b1903 (Tom)
Arthur Belmour b1906 (Mick)
Mary Florence b1908
Jessie Margaret b1911
Albert Ernest b1913 (Bert)

This photo was taken in the early 1950's, their home is no longer standing, a few went to look at the site on the Sunday morning after our gathering. I'm sure Mary Ann spent many hours under that clothesline.

Roger was a bit of a colourful character around the area apparently, I found these items in old newspapers. I did think the crimes may have been his fathers, not so, dear dad the convict passed away in 1892.

Roderick Newbound, who was fined at the Rutherglen Court, 25 pound for sly grog selling. Has received a refund of 24 pound.

This photo must have been taken not too long before he passed away in 1937, he appears to be riddled with arthritis.

UPDATE from Jenny Newbound - 2011 Nine Newbounds trekked in long grass to Grandma's house site in Barnawartha. Alan showed the way and most of us souvenired a brick from the old kitchen fireplace... Memories are forever.

Blog manager

I was born a Newbound and would like to help all the Newbound's in Australia find each other and keep in touch. Our family history is vast and I hope to add whatever old photos, family stories and records I can source to this blog for us all to share and pass on to the next generations. If anyone has anything they would like to share with us all let me know and I'll add it to the blog. If I have incorrect details please make contact and I'll fix them immediately. If anyone doesn't want something shared let me know and I can remove it.

I not only blog about the Newbounds of Australia but I also have a large family tree of all the Newbounds I know who descend from our convict ancestor Roger John Newbound. If anyone who thinks they are on this tree and would like a copy of it email me and I'll send two pdf documents to you; the first is a descendant chart of Roger John Newbound our convict ancestor and a descendant report that also begins with Roger John Newbound and has an overwhelming amount of information.

Blog info

The posts are stored in the order that I post them, so the latest post is shown first, it may make more sense if you start with the original post which is Clarrie Newbound celebrating his 90th birthday at the Barnawartha Gathering on the 5th November 2011, just click on Older Posts at the bottom of the page to go back.

You can use the labels list to find all posts that relate, such as all the Barnawartha Gathering posts, just click on the label and they'll all be shown on one page. I have also used labels for family members, so if you want to look for all posts about relatives that descend from a common ancestor click on the ancestors name and up come all the posts. I've gone back to Roger John Newbound b1814 who is our convict relative whom we all seem to descend from.

The photos are not all mine, I have scanned and been sent many old Newbound family photos, also borrowed some from The Newbounds of the World group on Facebook, thanks Gavin! Click on any of the photos to bring them up in a larger format. You can also right click on the photos and save them to your computer.

Anything else, just ask.
