Carole’s Family Tree
I have been researching my family tree for a few years now, and there is always more information to find, more names to research, more relatives to talk to. My Australian family surnames are Eason, Irwin, Ewin, and Bell from Northern Ireland; Goode, Miles, Oates and Pascoe from England; and Stewart, Thomson and Simpson from Scotland. My Fijian surnames are Riley, Andrews, Whippy, O’Connor, Brown and Simpson.
My family tree is not complete – it may never be complete. It’s here so that you can contact me if you see anything that looks relevant to you or you if would like to add something to it.

I came across your website recently as I was searching for info on the Hill family of Narromine area, New South Wales.
My partner (Louise) has been trying to trace her grandmother’s family as we plan to visit in a couple of years. Her name was Olive Mai Hill and she married Ernest JJ McEniry, an Irishman, in Narromine in 1928. They both travelled to Ireland a few years later for a holiday but they remained in Ireland and Olive never got the opportunity to return.
You have a family listed – Nathaniel C Hill & Anne Oates Hill, with one of their daughters being Olive M Hill…
We were wondering if you knew what became of this Olive Hill?
any help you can give would be appreciated,
I have published this comment in case others are searching for the same family. Good luck Michael!
Carole,
regarding the book ‘A Gathering of the Oates’, do you know if there are any copies available?
regards,
Michael
