Working on my Family History, reading my 4x Great Uncle's Obituary,(1839 -1905) when i jumped on the computer to find the property "Ipswich' at Grenfell, I found your page, thank you for the information I enjoy reading articles about our early history. It says of my Great Uncle,  He arrived from Hill End, (which is where his parents died) at the opening of this gold-field, and afterwards took up land, being the first to settle on "Ipswich" , which he later sold to Mr. A Hambly. My Great Uncle went to Parks, but returned to Grenfell.

We are in Ipswich Queensland, and have been here for more than 40 years

Well done to you for making this website,  a good idea.

Do you have information about HMAS  Ipswich,  as we have a book on the history of this ship?

Just a bit of Wibsey My gt grandparents were the Butler and ladies maid to the Jump family at the Chantry house and lived in the little gatehouse. Albert Phillips. It is said that he had the keys to the wine cellar and that when he laughed in the cellar you could hear him all over the house.... from my research he also had other traits that were a bit naughty.....his son (also Albert) had only a 6 month gestation ha ha

Through historical search of my father's ancestral background I traced his root back to Ipswich, St. Elizabeth, Jamaica, West Indies. My father who is now deceased was born and raised in Fyffes Penn, Brompton, St. Elizabeth. His father's mother came from Ipswich and his father I understand was related to the Ipswich's of St. Elizabeth. I don't know a lot, only bits and pieces. I am hoping to piece things together. Any information will be helpful. Thank you for posting the information on the sight. Very helpful and informative. Hope to hear from someone soon.

I am a bit surprised that Percy Edwards does not get a mention and there is no blue plaque where he was born in Fore Street. .
