Spouse: Eileen NIEMANN (LAKE)-64. Eileen NIEMANN (LAKE) and William Frederick "Bill" LAKE were married on 1 December 1928.^932,938,939 I had a long association with Aunty Eileen & Uncle Bill Lake. My first memories were of them on a fruit block at Merbein. Their two sons Bill & Fred were my heroes and I loved to get in the road while the boys fixed their trucks.
However, at about age ten I stayed with them at their shop at South Merbein. It was great fun serving in the shop and doing deliveries around the district. I ate lollies from daylight till dusk and still regret that I pinched the odd packet of cigarettes which I smoked down the road a bit. I guess they knew.
When our family lived in Wentworth and between businesses they lived with us for a time. Uncle Bill was quite ill.
Uncle Bill was a quietly spoken, tall and somewhat imposing figure but generous 'to a fault'. He loved to sit and talk and told me many stories about fishing and duck shooting around Sunraysia. I cannot recall hime talking about his early life but it was something of an adventure and at least from a family history viewpoint very interesting.

In latter years we always called on Aunty Eileen and sometimes stayed with her. She too visited us when she headed to Adelaide.
Aunty Eileen became a successful dress shop owner [Mimi Fashions, Langtee Ave Mildura) and while I was at school in Mildura I'd call at the shop and have a cup of tea.
Family was really important to Aunty Eileen and she provided a lot of the information regarding our immediate family, for the Niemann history book.
Aunty Eileen was always a 'strong' woman and didn't hesitate to express her opinion. Unfortunately in the early stages of her memory deterioration and illnesses her 'strength' caused a few family upsets. At the time however I don't really think it was understood the reasons for this. I have no difficulty 'winding back the tape' and remembering her as somebody with whom I always felt very comfortable. This made it even more distressing when she didn't even recognize me when I visited her in hospital.
Children were: Arthur Bryan LAKE-144, Living, Living, John LAKE-147.

Spouse: Richard Napoleon JENKINSON-1650. Sarah Ann F. LAMB (JENKINSON) and Richard Napoleon JENKINSON were married about 1840. Provided by Greg Jenkinson:
Richard Napoleon JENKINSON: born abt 1819 in Tottenham, London, ENGLAND died 21 Sep 1860 at Greek's Reef, Inglewood, Victoria, AUSTRALIA buried in White Hills Cemetery, Eaglehawk, Bendigo, Victoria, AUSTRALIA married Sarah Ann Faulkes LAMB on 30 Sep 1844 in St John's Catholic Church, Richmond, Tasmania, AUST.

Sarah Ann Faulkes LAMB : born 22 Jan 1826 in Newark on Trent, Nottinghamshire, ENGLAND died 10 Feb 1898 in Pascoe Vale, Coburg, Victoria, AUSTRALIA buried in Melbourne Cemetery on 12 Feb 1898 Children include: Charlotte Mary JENKINSON: born abt 1845 in Jerusalem (Colebrook), Tasmania, AUSTRALIA died 8 Apr 1898 in Daisy St Essendon, Victoria, AUSTRALIA Buried on 9 Apr 1898 in Melbourne General Cemetery
married Christian NIEMANN
Richard JENKINSON was transported to Van Diemen's Land aboard the "Canton", arriving on 12 Jan 1840. He was sentenced to 7 years transportation for larceny. His heinous crime was that of selling a stolen cricket ball which had been taken from a change room of a boarding school in London, and had been stolen by another perpetrator. 4 young men in total were involved in the "heist".

Richard JENKINSON later became a constable in Van Diemen's Land.

In 1851 Richard & Sarah JENKINSON & 5 children left Launceston for Sydney. They eventually made their way to Bendigo goldfields in Victoria, AUSTRALIA by 1852, possibly earlier.

Richard JENKINSON was found dead in his tent at a Greek's Reef gold mining tenement in Inglewood, with a muzzle-loading weapon nearby. He was 40 years old.

Richard & Sarah's 2 surviving sons, John Napoleon JENKINSON & Richard Napoleon JENKINSON (Jr) made their ways to opposite sides of Australia. There is some conjecture about who was the real John Napoleon JENKINSON because records show that one John Napoleon JENKINSON went west to Kalgoorlie in 1899 with wife & 4 sons (some with their own families in tow), while the "other" John Napoleon JENKINSON went east to Queensland , where he married in 1880.

As a representative of the WEST clan and with a lot of documentary evidence as well as graveyard images, I have been able to convince some of the EAST clan that my JNJ is the rightfull owner of the name. The EASTERN JNJ is probably Richard Napoleon JENKINSON (Jr) but this has confused a lot of ancestors in the EAST. I am still "negotiating" with some of them.

I recently found that Sarah Ann Faulkes LAMB'S father, uncle & some cousins are buried in Colebrook, Tasmania.
Children were: Charlotte JENKINSON (NIEMANN)-1649, John Napoleon JENKINSON-4953.

Spouse: John DORMAN-129. Elizabeth Jane LANGMAID / LANGMEAD (DORMAN)(TRIPLETT) and John DORMAN were married on 19 May 1873 in Moonta SA.^328,329 Their Marriage certificate confirms most of the following information :
'When Elizabeth was 18 she married at the home of her parents Edwin & Elizabeth Langmead at Euko. The witnesses at the ceremony were her sister Emma ... and James Thomas' , thought to be Emma's future husband. Life was challenging in Moonta during the 1880's. Many families were not so fortunate as the Dormans when looking at the infant death statistics for Moonta. As an example 153 children under the age of 1 year, were buried at Moonta in 1874. It did not get much better until 1878 and even then 133 died. By todays standards the figures were unacceptably high until 1910.
[District Council of Copper Coast - James R Harbison Research Feb 1997]

The following information has been taken from "Moonta, Wallaroo, Kadina Sketchbook" Drawings by Arthur Phillips & Text by Milton Hand. Published by Rigby 1974.
"Before the arrival of the pipeline from the Beetaloo reservoir in 1890, living conditions on the mine were very unhygienic. Epidemics of typhoid fever caused the death of many children." P 6
"Following the introduction of compulsory education and the closing of private schools, the Moonta Mines School was opened in 1878." .... " For many years before the introduction of compulsory education for all children, the boys working on the Moonta Mines had been required to attend a school organised by Captain H.R. Hancock." P 10
" Patrick Ryan, another shepherd employed by Hughes, discovered copper ore near Moonta." P 22
" When the miners arrived at the mines, one of their fist tasks was to build a cottage for themselves and their families" ... " The three most common forms of construction were wattle & daub, limestone and clay: and German Brick (sundried brick reinforced with grass and straw ....... " P 30
" Although the mines were started in 1861 and the township of Moonta surveyed and established in 1862, the Moonta Cemetery Trust was not established until 1866. .... " A funeral, particularly on Sunday, was an important outing. "

" What e'er we do, where'er we be,
We are travelling to the grave "
"The bell, made of local copper smelted at the Wallaroo Smelting works, was cast in Adelaide by Horwood company."
"One of the largest and longest processions to the cemetery was on 22nd May 1914 for the funeral of the wife of the honourable John Verran, a Moonta resident who became the first Labor Premier of South Australia. " P 40

'A ceremony was held at the home of the Bride's brother' Unknown Author
According to Legend ... Lil Russell nee Niemann, told Aileen Niemann (nee Keatch), many years ago that Elizabeth Jane Triplett or 'Granny Triplett' as she was affectionately known, had six children to John Dorman; she then married James Triplett who already had six children and they had six of their own. Lil Russell (nee Niemann) also told Aileen that Maria Triplett 'married a chinaman' in Adelaide, not something the family was proud of in those days. However the legend has it that the 'Chinaman' was Pak Poy who went on to become a highly respected and successful businessman in Adelaide.
Les Niemann in 2004, provided the six names for the Dorman children although he wasn't 100% certain regarding the details. He thought one Dorman child was killed by a water cart near the old Flying Doctor base east of Broken Hill. (But it has been suggested that the horse drowned not the child !! )
