1913 Electoral Roll - McGANN & BOARDMAN
Catherine Vivien McGann
The Catholic Press Thur 30 Jan 1919
Mrs. Catherine Vivian McGann, who died recently at her residence, Mount View Estate, Maitland, at the ripe age of 82 years, had lived at the old homestead for over 51 years. She with her husband were the first settlers, the place at the time being a dense forest, wild cattle and kangaroos being the chief occupants of a place that is now dotted with beautiful farms, orchards and vine-yards. The deceased lady was born in Praisenbeble, Cornwall, England, and came to Australia with her parents when 11 years of age. Eight days before reaching Adelaide in the vessel, “William Money”, her mother died. She often related how her father, two sisters and a brother (she being the eldest) had to face a new country, motherless, and she related their trying trip to the Burra copper mines, where her father was under contract to build for the company. Later they went to Bendigo gold diggings, where she married the late Mr. James McGann, who was in business with the late Mr. James Tyson. About 1854 she came to Maitland with her husband, and went on the land; and in 1868 took up their present homestead, Mount View. The deceased is survived by six sons — Messrs. William and Andrew (Mount View), Gervase and Thomas (Lithgow), John (Annandale, Sydney), and Luke (Auckland). There are also six daughters — Mesdames G. Collins (Branxton), G. J. Robertson (Lane Cove), W. Fyfe Henderson (Mosman) Sister Mary James (Lochinvar), and Misses C. and E. McGann (Mount View). There are 41 grandchildren and 20 great-granchildren One sister, Mrs. Roberts, of Bendigo, also survives. Ten grandsons and son-in-law joined the A.I.F., two making the supreme sacrifice. One, an Anzac, has just returned. The interment was in the cemetery, Cessnock, the Rev. Father Callaghan officiating, assisted by the Rev. Father H. Cullen, an old friend of the family. R.I.P.

Yes, Val that is Madge.
Re the PMG lineman in Gundagai who married in Hillston and who died in Mosman with a dob that does not fit the one born Maitland - nothing has been found to show the Public Service record has the wrong birth date or that the one born Maitland ever ended up in southern NSW.
Of all the 11 children born Maitland area none show a connection to the PMG lineman.
Mosman has always puzzled me but that's the right death for the one who married in 1894 in Hillston.

Many thanks Val.
I was there yesterday but the computers had network problems so I didn't think of talking to any of the local studies staff. I was dealing with other staff to get me on a different computer that had a normal fast internet connection.
The library has the original card index, the two films of the burial register as well as three books with the headstone inscriptions and the layout of the plots. The three sets of records don't always agree.
The card index sometimes includes details of who purchased the plot.
