There were many mining families from Cornwall that settled in Kurri Kurri / Cessnock areas and became coal miners in the late 1800's and early 1900's. I'm happy to photograph places and cemeteries that relate to your family migrant history.

Janet - sorry I took so long. I've been away.
My daughter asks (as we are going this together) if you could find any newspaper reports on death of Minnie Dunlop 26 April 1933. The Dunlops, Harveys & Smiths of Kurri Kurri are all related.
One daughter did died in 1914 - a Veronica May Dunlop (not sure if her name was Dunlop or Dunlop Smith.jood sadly died in November 2019.

Hi
I haven't any access to Kurri as far as newspapers go, sorry. I can offer photos of a known grave at Kurri. Your best bet would be the obits in the Sydney Morning Herald -old copies available at the Mitchell Library I think. Other than that perhaps the Newcastle Morning Herald- but I don't know where old copies are kept- maybe Newcastle Library?? I did a check of Aussie BMD but no entries for the names you mention. JI've lost my aunty! ANNIE SMITH last known address 232 WEST PARADE, LINC'S in 1939.

Australia’s free online research portal. Trove is a collaboration between the National Library of Australia and hundreds of Partner organisations around Australia.
although you mentioned April...worth looking the Trove site - you can do an advanced search in the
beta site as well using MD or DM or just Dunlop - http://newspapers.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/homeLast edited by naomiatt; 03-03-10, 07:00.

I wish Naomi :( The original Minnie was b1867 in Qld and died 1900 NSW
Her daughter Minnie who married JJ Dunlop - was born 1897 in WA and died in Kurri Kurri in 1933 which would have made her 36 at death (not 86)
None of those names I've heard of except Minnie.
Thanks for trying Naomi.Last edited by jood; 03-03-10, 08:59.jood sadly died in November 2019.

I will scout around tomorrow at work and see what the locals on staff come up with. Do you know if the family remained in the area? The Kurri community is quite small.
Let you know tomorrow, JI've lost my aunty! ANNIE SMITH last known address 232 WEST PARADE, LINC'S in 1939.
