Hi Unpredictable,

I know the Briertys. Charles' sister Maude is my father's mother. I always referred to Catherine as aunt. Charlie and Kate lived in Mertin street Bourke and as a child I'd occasionally stay with them. Their daughter Elsie married Ernie Moore and their children are Johnny, Colin, Mavis, Peter, Annie and Cathy. When Charlie died Kate formed a friendship with Bert Bonser (or Bonsor, I don't know if they married). Bert had a son Joe from a previous relationship. Some of the Moore family still live in and around Bourke and I can contact them if you want. Maude had three children (my father Percy and girls Mavis and Freda) with Russell Barton. That union failed and Maude married a Martin Bligh.

This is an old post and the poster may not be active anymore.

Just looking at BDMs I thought at first that this could be the death of 'Alex' - he was from Brewarrina.
1953 C374
Alexander Brierty
[father] Alexander
[mother] Julia Mary Horrigan

BUT this Alexander was aged 'about 60' when he died in 1910 - he had lived in Thargomindah. I suspect he is the father of Alexander above - he married Julia Mary HORRIGAN in 1892. Perhaps he was not married to Chas' mother?

Alexaner Brierty

[mother] Violet McKay

Was BRIERTY Lucy's maiden name?

Here is Chas obit: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article142139931 Memorial notices mention a son Ralph and daughter-in-law Hilda. Charles & Kitty also had a son named Charles who died in 1938 in Bourke NSW. This must be Kitty's death reg?

Hi
My grandmother was Registered as Lucy Costello and I found she is an aboriginal and I have the exemption papers I found her sisters were taken from Thargomindah and their names were Brierty, Annie and Maude
With Mary richards and Alexander Brierty as the connection
Lucy married James Henry Connolly Irish Drover and lived in Eulo qld
On the exemption papers it has mother kitty as well , I have met the Brierty aboriginal families and they said their grandmothers told them of Lucy and Harry Costello being their sister and brother
I just need to know the connection to Mary richards and Alexander brierty
Thank you michael

Do you have the marriage cert to try and verify any details?
It's very hard trying to search a bunch of random names without dates etc.

I can try and help. I know the combo name as well. What specifically looking for. I would suggest you have a look on the Kullili Native title claim which was just granted. You should just be able to google it and see if any of the names specific to your family are on it. I know some members of this family and could ask some specific questions.
