Comments about this page

  • Have information about Reverend Charles Waters who according to his Death Notice, was a supernumerary for ten years before his death.

    “DEATH OF REV. CHARLES WATERS,

    The Rev. Charles Waters, of Epping, Ryde circuit, passed peacefully away on Sunday, 22nd instant, at the advanced age of 83 years. Mr. Waters was originally a Primitive Methodist, having entered the ministry of that Church in 1851. He had been a supernumerary for the past ten years. Many years ago, Mr. Waters laboured in Lagoon street circuit, Goulburn, and will be remembered by a number of old friends. The deceased clergyman leaves a widow, but no family.”

    I’m enjoying your site which has been helpful in some research for a work colleague whose ancestor was a Primitive Methodist in Goulburn. I’m double checking the years ministers were in Goulburn according to your site and checking the newspapers for information about ministers’ arrivals and have found some discrepancies.

    I found a reference in a newspaper and a book about the wife of Rev Charles Waters preaching at Goulburn in 1859 so the marriage in 1894 was his second.

    I’ve found that Charles married Ruth Blackwell in 1856 and that she died in 1893. She was on the Sian with Charles in 1859. Ruth, a school teacher, was born in Chipping Norton Oxfordshire in 1819.

    The book I referred to is Methodism in the lilac city: the story of the Methodist Church in Goulburn, N.S.W. and the surrounding district.
