In a court in Cairns on Tuesday the 3rd of July in 1951 -
Mr. Bennett remarked that both his clients had "beautiful new cars" in which it was difficult to judge the speed. He added: "These are modern new cars - not like mine. Your Worship. I can not afford one of these - I am only a solicitor."
One of those clients was a Vivian HEDGELONG who was charged with speeding, ie. 40.9 miles an hour in a 30 miles per hour speed zone.

Mary Jane BAINES
The following is the contents of a note written by a researcher on ancestry and sent to me in a email.
It discusses a person by the name of Mary Jane BAINES who married one Aldred TRUNDLE on the 6th May in 1875 in Brisbane after Aldred's first wife Mary Jane (nee SMITH) died on the 15th of October in 1872.
I know that she was born in Achill, Co. Mayo, Ireland in about 1849. Her father was Mathias and her mother was Jane (aka Elizabeth) McDowell. Her siblings were Thomas (?-1907 d. in qld), Lucy (abt. 1852-1936 d. in qld), Margaret Anne (abt. 1855-1943 d. in qld) and Mathias (1857-1944). They were all born in Achill. I cannot for the life of me find a death certificate for Mary Jane, as she may have remarried after Aldred Trundle. From the sounds of it he was quite a handful and was charged with several stealing crimes so perhaps they got divorced?
To-date no one has been able to find anything about the second Mary Jane (nee BAINES) after her marriage to Aldred TRUNDLE. They apparently did not have any children and neither her death nor any subsequent marriage has been found.
Aldred TRUNDLE died on the 28th of March in 1911 at Dunwich which is a small community on North Stradbroke Island in Moreton Bay.
Should anyone recognise any of the people in this blog or wish to know anything else about any of these people, please write to me.

MORGAN, Patrick SHERIDAN, Blanche Maria; b.26/May/1891 Qld., m.DURHAM, Thomas STRANDQUIST, Elsie May; b.14/Oct/1892 Brisbane, Qld., m.DURHAM, William A letter from a cousin tells me that Thomas Durham BROWN dropped the name BROWN and then only used DURHAM as the surname. The parents of the five MORGAN children were Patrick MORGAN and Mary (MURNIN, FARLEY, FARRELLY). I haven't been able to find the deaths of either of the MORGAN parents. All of these events occurred in Queensland except for the marriage of Patrick and Mary and the birth of Mary Jane MORGAN. Given that Rose Ann was born in 1859 the MORGAN family must have arrived prior to that. If you can help, please write to me.

McDOUGALL , FIELD, SAINT
A small problem. When going back over old correspondence I found an inconsistency. I have a Frances Jane McDOUGALL born c1861 (I think NSW) and married to Henry Alfred FIELD 15/5/1890 in Brisbane and died 24/12/1909 in Brisbane when her parents were recorded in the Qld BDM index as Daniel John McDOUGALL and Esther HENDLE. Henry Alfred FIELD may have died 15/10/1911 in Qld. I also have Frances Jane McDOUGALL (who is a niece of the previous Frances Jane) born 26/3/1899 and married Reginald Leonard JOHNS 6/4/1939 and is the daughter of Henry Robert McDOUGALL and Sophia Hurford SAINT. Now here is a paragraph taken from a letter I received from a fourth cousin living in Bundaberg in 1999. "The Frances Jane McDOUGALL married to Henry Alfred FIELD belongs to Henry Robert. I was able to see the family bible. The only problem is that her sister who is still living here says she was married to Len JOHNS. I have found her marriage to Henry FIELD but not to Len JOHNS. Daniel John's eldest son Francis James born 1861 in Sydney." These are some of the possible things that I think may have happened. I believe that the writer of the letter did see the family bible, but it may be possible that she mistook which family it belonged to. The sister still living would be at least 72 years old, and we all know how time seems to change the way we remember things. If anyone can tell me anything about any of these people I would be most pleased to communicate with them. Please send an email.
