It is claimed Lucy married Thomas 24 hours after her arrival because they had spent the voyage together from England on the 'Red Jacket' . It is a good story but the time line for that is somewhat questionable; however, stranger facts have emerged from the myths and legends of our family ! The document provided by Sue Kelly - a Divine descendant (see Family 'photos' for this document ) lists the Devine family and provides an interesting version of the marriage of Thomas Devine and Lucy Niemann. There are some differences from Jessie Cafiso's version of the Niemann arrival in Australia.
At this time ( 15/10/2006) neither version has documentary evidence.

"I came to the conclusion that Lucy jnr went to live there ( Jane Treloar nee Devine - Lucy Jnr Sister, Ballarat Vic) because she also competed in an Eisteddfod competitions in Ballarat about the same time as Sydney (Clement).That information came from Peter Fruend at Her Majesty's in Ballarat who did a little research for me.But I have no paper trail on her."

Spouse: William Frederick "Bill" LAKE-143. 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.

She was buried about 7 September 1971 in Merbein Vic.⁶⁵⁷ Grave : Meth Row M 11 [Photo] As a young woman she worked on a sheep station belonging to the Smith family.
Aunty Lil as she was known was a delightful person who more than anything loved to cook. She made the best scones in the family and inspite of all and sundry copying her recipe those scones were never replicated.
She had only one child who died almost at childbirth but she was a wonderful aunty to the next generation.
When her and Uncle Bill Russell lived in Broken Hill they ran a poultry farm and I regularly rode the bike to their place for eggs. A piece of cake and a drink was always on offer.
She and he mother lived together in Adelaide for several years before moving to Mildura where they lived adjacent to Aunty Eileen Lake.
As a student with very little money I regularly visited her and Grandma in Adelaide and had a roast dinner, played cards and sometimes stayed the night. After Aileen & I were married she welcomed Aileen into this routine and it was our 'home away from home'.
After they moved to Mildura we always stayed with them as we travelled to Sydney and we kept doing the same thing after we had children.
They always made us welcome but sometimes I wonder if they dreaded us turning up ! Certainly in the 21st century it is unlikely our 'holidays' of this nature would be welcomed.
A number of the family stories were told to Aileen by Aunty Lil and have been the inspiration for some family history research. Parents: Ernest James NIEMANN-8 and Emma Jane DORMAN (NIEMANN)-9.

Michael "Patrick" NOLAN⁶²³ was born in 1819 in IRELAND - Dublin. Judging by the 'legion' of old Nolan graves in numerous cemeteries there must have been many who emigrated to Australia in the 1800's. Michael was born in Dublin but there is evidence that Nolan's were spread around many Counties in Ireland. A Dr. Nolan also lived in Bendigo but there is no evidence of a connection to our family.It is likely that Nolan Street in Bendigo is named after the 'good doctor' not our Michael. He emigrated on 26 November 1853 from Ireland via Southhampton on the 'Medway' About 1857 he was a Miner in Bendigo Vic.

Ann Rose "Rose Anne" NOLAN (NIEMANN)^1293,1294 was born on 17 October 1841 in IRELAND - Dublin or Wicklow - Cullen.¹¹³⁶ She lived in Broken Hill NSW after 1886. She moved to Broken Hill from Bendigo in late 1880's after the death of her husband Johann Dietrich Conrat Niemann .
"'When the first trains came, Broken Hill was at least four times as big as Silverton, the town whose names was engraved on each locomotive. The growth of Broken Hill had been swift. In April 1886 it had 30 tents, 23 houses, 15 huts, 3 hotels, 2 blacksmith's shops, 1 general store and a few sheds & humpies. Two years later the population was 6000, and in 1891 it was almost 20 000 and still increasing. dozens of hotels were built in the chessboard of dusty streets, there were 47 hotels in 1888." The rise of Broken Hill G Blainey McMillan 1968

As mentioned elsewhere the choice of Broken Hill must have been related to employment for her sons; there is no other rational reason ! Other branches of the family [Kerin, Fitzgerald ] also made that move. There are other Hogans and Nolans in Broken Hill but no connections have been established.

It is a 'toss up' which of Trent Niemann's families:- Niemann, Kerin, Fitzgerald arrived in Broken Hill first. While the Kerin's & Fitzgerald probably had the benefit of rail, Ann Rose and her children's transport to Broken Hill is most likely to have been some form of 'animal powered' transport. Cobb & Co did provide transport around much of Australia. The family history on the Nolan's 'Shamrocks to Wattle' claims Ann Rose, with her children, moved to Balranald with her parents in the late 1880's. Ann Rose's sister Sarah Jane ' Jennie' married Sylvester Byrnes in 1882 and lived on the Darling River between Wentworth & Pooncarie. This may have been a stop-off on the way to Broken Hill. She died on 14 June 1905 in Broken Hill NSW.¹²⁹⁵ Rose Anne was buried on 15 June 1905 in Broken Hill NSW.¹²⁹⁶ Grave : Broken Hill - RC Sec Z (no headstone) [Photo]¹²⁹⁷ The reference to her grave is non-specific and it is difficult to exactly identify her resting place.

Mary Elizabeth NORTHEY (HOPKINS) was born about 1867 in Victoria - probably. Mary E Northey (m David T Hopkins) had at least one brother Lance who was at Stanwell Park for a time. It is possible this is a second brother. Between 1893 and 1838 she was a Guest House Operator "Stanwell House", Post Mistress & Kiosk owner in Stanwell Park near Woolongong NSW.

Spouse: David Thomas HOPKINS-511. Mary Elizabeth NORTHEY (HOPKINS) and David Thomas HOPKINS were married on 23 July 1883 in Sydney NSW - Wesleyan Parsonage, Cleveland St..⁶⁵⁶
David Thomas Hopkins was the son of a farmer in Llanilid, Glamorgan, Wales and it seems he worked on the small farm with his father. His death certificate claims he was married in Wales and he emigrated to Queensland, Australia in his 20's. He spent some time in Northern NSW and then Wollongong / Bulli / Stanwell Park area.
He married Elizabeth Northey who was a 'canny' business woman. The family appears to have prospered at Stanwell Park with David operating a haulage / contracting business, particularly supplying timber to the growing coal mining industry around Bulli. It seems he also participated in the 'heavy work' related to the Guest House which, it seems, was operated by his wife Elizabeth. There are references to him being a sportsman and a jovial fellow.

References to the family by Michael Adams and press notices indicate that David & Elizabeth were significant in the very small 'village' of Stanwell Park.

Stanwell Park is an icon of Australian history. It was the home of Sir Thomas Mitchell the explorer. [During a trip to Queensland in 2004 we repeatedly came across acknowledgement of his explorations. He 'appeared' at St George and of course the town of Mitchell bears his name. He is buried in Sydney.]

Lawrence Hargraves the 'pioneer of flight' lived and conducted his experiments at Stanwell Park. He is acknowledged as the inspiration for the Wright Brothers designs for the first heavier than air flight in 1903. Indeed Hargraves, using his box kites designs and the winds of Stanwell Park was lifted from the gound by a tethered kite. The story of Hargraves is beautifully written in a book 'Wind beneath his wings, Lawrence Hargraves Stanwell Park" by Michael Adams.
David Hopkins knew Mitchell and Hargraves and is mentioned in the above book. While the Hopkins are not 'historical' they were at least 'touched by history'.
During the late 19th century there were about six families at Stanwell Park. One can imagine it was a close community.
