Bonarius - Australia

[deeiluka]

There is also a digital record for a grandchild of John Charles Bonarius named Brook Bonarius on the National Archives of Australia website
http://www.naa.gov.au/

In case you don't know, you can download it free of charge. There are 22 pages.

There are also a couple of other references to family members on there.

I have searched for Bonarius references in New South Wales, and hope the following help.....

This is the State Archives of NSW. It has some online indexes and you’ll find a couple of Bonarius mentions in them.

This is a site in progress ….I don’t know if you’ll find any mention here.

In case you want it, this is the website of the Newcastle Family History Society

Rich, if you search the IGI for Australia, there are some member submitted Bonarius entries on there that may be of some help. I wouldn't like to say how accurate they are......but probably worth looking at.

JC Bonarius   owned and subdivides  the town of Barnsley and part of Edgeworth  (part of Lake Macquarie Council area), NSW, Australia - among others.

I am seeing that he was granted land - 100 acres -  at Kahiba too.


This included land at Wakefield, which my grandfather bought and farmed 1940's to 1994.


He also had various property elsewhere eg Waratah, and he acted as a real estate auctioneer and investor, and appears in court records and news paper reports concerning developments and debts (owed to him.)
