PHILO'S LETTER. The New Year.
The Kadina and Wallaroo Times (SA : 1888 - 1954) Saturday 7 January 1939 p 1 Article

The New Year.

It is my first duty this week to wish all my readers a happy and prosperous new year. This is done in the best spirit, and in the hope that where over vim find yourself it may visit you. And aMcr all, how slowly yet how conscious arc we that we step into the dawning of a new year. The old year with its worries, troubles, sorrows and numerous other anxieties is only too well known to many of us. Xow it is gone into the eternal realm where all spent time passes, and we are entrus ted with a new chapter, scarcely writ ten upon, and as to how we. handle it depends our success or failure. So the study of our decision at the open ing is the all important thng. I have longed to see it come, so that I may handle it for what it contains—oppor tunity to do good for the time I am

here.

And so we went among our friends and relatives with the new year's greetings and wishes for the best for a happy year. And are we not looking forward to clearer days, fewer worries within and without, a decline in war scares, and a hope that all round im provement will come to many who last year had a hard struggle. Yet we must how to the order that, like in all other years, it will carry much ihe same happenings: but with faith and foresight, courage and confidence in the Divine Will the New Year must change the front of many of our enter prises. So we march along with the masses, taking our part and doing it to the best of our ability; this will season the year to our taste and liking.

Late Mr Paul Roach.

Kadina lias !ost a real pioneer, a man who left bis mark upon oiii local lil"e. For a long time readers have come to recognise the merits of this man's life, and when he passed away I heard some very appreciative remarks about the generosity of our old citizen. Ka dina has had good service from this man when he was Mayor, which office he filled with credit. Many otlier positions were occupied by him, and in charity also Mr Roach gave of his best. I know that when I approached him for assistance for relief, I found lie was ever ready to help with hard cash. It was 011 a visit of this kind that I learned something of his early pioneer spirit. ' He told me about carting wood to the mines and the struggles of the early days. He was also a good judge of horses, and on this occasion I was able to understand what pride it gave him to own such fine stock. Personally. I enjoyed a chat with him, and when I used to meet him now and again it was indeed a valuable aid to our understanding. Sir Roach reached a ripe old age and died full of years, and when I saw the large cortege I felt that the citizens were demonstrating in a manner fit ting their regard for one who was held in very high esteem. To the Roach family I here add a tribute to my old friend.

The Re-Union Tea.

I attended the re-union tea at the the Wallaroo Mines Social Hall on Saturday last, December 31. It was indeed a very happy gathering, but I did think that the attendance would have been much larger, seeing it was a special effort towards the church work in general. Prior to the tea I chatted with those preseiit, and old times were discussed. Among the group which gathered were Mrs Dick James (Mrs Walker's daughter). Many remember Dick and his wife in the earlier years, when they lived by the Mines school. Mrs James was most most entertaining. Then Mrs Broadbent was present (she was a Miss Treiiberth) ; she told me Charley Trenberth was her uncle. She left the Mines when 14 years of age and went to Queensland, but later has been

in Broken Hill. Sarah Ann Penhall

her maiden name, I was introduced to Mrs Prideaux. Jack (or "Sailor,"' as he was known) went to W.A. Mrs Prideaux was a good organist in her younger days. It was her pleasure to meet the present veterans. Then Jack Tamblyn's daughter, Lena, from Ren mark, and her husband (Mr Christen son) mingled with the people. Mrs Roy Treasure (Lettice Besanko), Mrs Forbes (Lib' Besanko), and Mrs Alf Dyer (Beatrice Bartle) were present. Foni where I was I could see how plea sant it was for them to be again

among old friends.

When I shook hands with the Rev. Willason I thought he was just same genial personality we knew back in the boom days. How he used to sing 111 the streets here in the Army open air with the Bithorn organ when Ensign Taylour was here. Those present were glad to renew old friendships, and this was mutual in every way. The tea hour gave good opportunity for chats, and these were freely availed of. Everyone seemed to enter into the celebrations with a good spirit and it was a most profitable hour. After tea time Ben Hand and I enlarged upon the long years ago when many of the veterans who car ried the banner were real good toilers, and kept Endeavour and Church works well to the fore. Their memory is a sacred trust.

The Sick Lsit.

Readers, generally speaking, arc constantly enquiring- about our sick friends, and it shows that the old spirit oi consideration is evident. Mr Geo. Herbert is still a sick man, and ap pears to be having a very hard struggle over a period of weeks. He is putting up a good fight, with assiduous medical attention to help him. Those of us who know George, are most anxious that the turn for the long rally ami change for the better will soon be realised.

Then, I was very sorry to learn that Mr Ron Cheek was far from well, and was having close medical attention. Some of his personal friends are very anxious about him. I personally like Mr Cheek, as a man who, as a bank official, and in the ordinary role of a citizen displayed those acceptable qualities that have made him popular. Readers will certainly hope for im provement in his condition.

The Week's Thoughts.

"Lois of time for lots of things.

Though it's said that time has w There is always time to find

Ways of being sweet and kind; There is always time to share

Smiles and goodness everywhere; Time to send a frown away; Time a gentle word to say;

Time for helpfulness, and time To assist the weak to climb; Time to give a little flower;

Time for friendship any hour; Rut there is 110 time to spare For unkhulness. anywhere.'"

I have no idea whether this is accurate or not!!!

If you got ot Search at the top right, click on it

Then click on Search All Member Trees

and enter Nicholas Penhall



you will find that there are 3 members who have Nicholas in their trees.


You should contact those members and see if it is the same Nicholas as you are asking about, and if they are willing to share information with you.




There are two Grace Williams born ca 1834 and ca 1835 in Kenwyn on the 1851 Census.

One is living with her mother Ann, the second is a servant living away from home

Thanks Kath.

I have another difficult one.

My Grace Williams b abt 1835 Kenwyn Corn m Nicholas Penhall babt 1822.
Married in Tavistock abt 1856 ? Immigrated to South Aust 1857

With a common name of Williams how can I find her family ?

:-0

Have you used the "search" facility (top right of screen). Click on that and then on "search all member trees". If you put in Charles Prideaux's name there are a couple of people who have him in their trees. You can contact them directly.

Kath. x

Thankyou soooo much :-D :-D :-D :-D

So, is it reasonable now to confirm, that Jane Prideaux travelling with 4 children
Is my grt grt grt grandmother.
That, her husband died in Cornwall, and she decided to make a new life in Australia.

Her, daughter and husband, and her son came after.

I could never find a Charles Prideaux coming to Australia, so this seems to be
The answer.

There may have been relatives that had come before.

Is it possible to get any Living contacts ?

I have a well preserved photo of my grt grt grandfather Charles Prideaux that
I would be happy to share.

So much appreciated all your help,
Marilyn.

Well, Susan wasn't one of the children who travelled with Jane as she married in Cornwall and followed on a few weeks later:

James Prideaux

England Marriages, 1538–1973

marriage: 28 July 1825 Camborne,Cornwall,England

spouse: Jane Stone?????????

Perhaps they did'nt hear the last bit of her name, man?

Wow :-D

I am working backwards on this one:

My grt grt grt grandfather was Charles Prideaux, he married Eliza Mary Mutton
In Kooringa SA abt 1864, their children John Mutton, 1864Eliza or Jane 1866, & Charles Prideaux.

I could be wrong on this Jane Prideaux with 4 children being my ancestor, but it
Seems to fit.

I am descended from John a Mutton Prideaux m Sarah Ann Penhall - they moved
To Western Aust early 1900's.
My grandmother Eliza born abt 1897 Wallaroo Mines.

Many Thanks,
Marilyn
:-D ;-)

hmm - I went through all the Soneman's but failed to find her

A tree on Ancestry confirms the marriage I found to George Watts is correct and shows fruther marriages with proof from Cornwall Family History Soc. that she was in fact Jane Stoneman. (once entered as Stoeman and once as Stone - father Richard.
