1	The Farmer and Settler (Sydney, NSW : 1906 - 1955) Fri 15 Oct 1943 - Page 10 Braidwood's "Grand Old Man" Had Stirring Memories: Braidwood's "Grand Old Man" Had Stiwing Memories KNOWN as the "grand old man" of Braidwood, Mr. John McGrath, Coghlll, died recently. He was born in Ireland 80 yours ago, and came to Australia with his parent in 1865 on a sailing ship, said to be the first iron vessel to come to this country, After spending short periods at Greenwell Point and Corang, the family settled down at Colombo. They were engaged as shepherds, but later acquired a nice property, Mr, J. McGrath struck out for himself 66 years ago when he moved to Coghill. He went in for farming and dairying, but later took on road work and stone work. Braidwood "Review" says that the quality of his work is indicated by the many old stone culverts and chimneys which he built and which are still standing. Foundations con- structed by Mr. McGrath and his brothers for buildings in the town are as sold to-day as when they were put in. Mr. McGrath told many stories of the mining days, the explolts of bush- rangers, floods and droughts. He often spoke of the tribes of aborigines which roamed the district. Colombo had its own particular tribe and king, and big corroboroos were often held there. He often spoke of a bull fight at Colombo, when two bulls joined battle. In a short tlino, cattle from miles around were attracted by either the sound of conflict or the smell of blood. There were no fences in those days. Very soon other fights de- veloped amongst the cattle and several were killed and many maimed. According to Mr. McGrath, the bulls fought for a couple of days and were battered practically insensible. The battle ground presented a scene of dead cattle, trees knocked over and the earth torn and rooted up. Men on horseback endeavored to stop the fight and dogs were brought in, but to no avail. Besides the widow, a family of six sons and two daughters survive. They are Terence, Jack, Patrick, Annie, Joseph, Hannah, Michael and Barry	McGrath (U), JOHN ( COGHILL ) (I142)

3	A headstone for Joyce was not commissioned by Joyce's husband, Neville. When the sons grew older the eldest son advised Neville he was going to have one made however Neville disagreed, resulting in no headstone being made. At the time of Joyce's passing, Neville purchased the burial plot next to Joyce for when his time on earth was done. When Neville passed away in 1988, the two eldest sons contacted Liverpool Cemetery to make arrangements. They were then advised the plot next to their mothers had been used by someone else. Upon insisting their father had paid for the plot the cemetery advised that they re-sold it "as Neville wasn't using it". The cemetery then went on to advise that Joyce had been buried deeper than usual and Neville could be buried in the plot above their mother. This is how Neville and Joyce came to be buried together in the same plot (source for this information is Joyce's second son).	Cameron, Joyce May (P21)

43	In Ireland, civil registration of births, marriages and deaths started in 1864 (1845 for non-Catholic marriages).	McGrath, John (P94)
44	It's possible that James died at the age of 5 by accidental drowning. NSW BDM 5681/1881 - the index shows the mothers given name as Honora, however the New South Wales, Australia, Registers of Coroners' Inquests, 1821-1937 for James McGrath show's the Coronors name was James Honora. Update 09/06/2026 - confirmed via transcript the above certificate is NOT the same person	McGrath, James (I3)
45	Jacks Military record say's his birthday was 16 Oct 1927, however his headstone - presumably written by his family - say's he was born on 15 Oct 1927. Jacks birth certificate is not yet available with NSW BDM as they only allow a range from 1787 - 1926.	Cameron, Private Hiliary Owen (P99)

48	Joyce married Neville James Sylvester McGrath in Marrickville, New South Wales, on 2 July 1949 when she was 26 years old. At this time Joyce was working as a shop assistant and living at Foreman Street, Tempe, New South Wales, Australia	Cameron, Joyce May (P21)
49	Joyce May Cameron was born on 13 April 1923 in Australia to Eileen (Ida) Pike, age 27, and Ruban (AKA Ruben) Cameron, age 35. Joyce was their third child and after an older boy and girl, Dorothy and Donald. Joyce's younger brother, Hiliary Owen, was born in either 1927 or 1928, when Joyce was approx. 4-5 years old. Hilary was commonly known as 'Jack'.	Cameron, Joyce May (P21)
50	Joyce passed away suddenly on 28 April 1964 in New South Wales when she was 41 years old. After passing away, Joyce's eldest son went to reside with her sister, Dot (Dorothy Taylor) and spent many years living there.	Cameron, Joyce May (P21)

Braidwood's "Grand Old Man" Had Stirring Memories:

Braidwood's "Grand
Old Man" Had
Stiwing Memories
KNOWN as the "grand old man"
of Braidwood, Mr. John McGrath,
Coghlll, died recently. He was born
in Ireland 80 yours ago, and came to
Australia with his parent in 1865 on
a sailing ship, said to be the first iron
vessel to come to this country,
After spending short periods at
Greenwell Point and Corang, the
family settled down at Colombo. They
were engaged as shepherds, but later
acquired a nice property, Mr, J.
McGrath struck out for himself 66
years ago when he moved to Coghill.
He went in for farming and dairying,
but later took on road work and
stone work.
Braidwood "Review" says that the
quality of his work is indicated by
the many old stone culverts and
chimneys which he built and which
are still standing. Foundations con-
structed by Mr. McGrath and his
brothers for buildings in the town are
as sold to-day as when they were
put in.
Mr. McGrath told many stories of
the mining days, the explolts of bush-
rangers, floods and droughts. He often
spoke of the tribes of aborigines which
roamed the district. Colombo had its
own particular tribe and king, and
big corroboroos were often held there.
He often spoke of a bull fight at
Colombo, when two bulls joined battle.
In a short tlino, cattle from miles
around were attracted by either the
sound of conflict or the smell of
blood. There were no fences in those
days. Very soon other fights de-
veloped amongst the cattle and several
were killed and many maimed.
According to Mr. McGrath, the
bulls fought for a couple of days and
were battered practically insensible.
The battle ground presented a scene
of dead cattle, trees knocked over and
the earth torn and rooted up. Men
on horseback endeavored to stop the
fight and dogs were brought in, but
to no avail.
Besides the widow, a family of six
sons and two daughters survive. They
are Terence, Jack, Patrick, Annie,
Joseph, Hannah, Michael and Barry

A Maud Cameron was born 1893, Yarra, Vic to Charles Cameron and Annie Downes, but not of this family.

VIC BDM 29229/1893

Ann's surname is spelled "Downes" on her marriage certificate, which includes her own signature.

Her maiden name is spelled "Downs" on Ruban's birth certificate, but was not written by herself.

Downes, Ann Mary (P101)

McGrath, Joseph (P54)

Birth of Joseph McGrath.

At the time of Joseph's birth in 1887 there were 3 living male siblings and 1 living female sibling. Unfortunately, one additional male and one additional female sibling had passed away.

In Ireland, civil registration of births, marriages and deaths started in 1864 (1845 for non-Catholic marriages).

McGrath, John (P94)

It's possible that James died at the age of 5 by accidental drowning. NSW BDM 5681/1881 - the index shows the mothers given name as Honora, however the New South Wales, Australia, Registers of Coroners' Inquests, 1821-1937 for James McGrath show's the Coronors name was James Honora.

Update 09/06/2026 - confirmed via transcript the above certificate is NOT the same person

McGrath, James (I3)

Jacks Military record say's his birthday was 16 Oct 1927, however his headstone - presumably written by his family - say's he was born on 15 Oct 1927. Jacks birth certificate is not yet available with NSW BDM as they only allow a range from 1787 - 1926.
