Minty Family History & Genealogy

Ellen Minty was born in London and migrated to Australia as a small child. There were a number of attempts to leave England but they were unfortunate to be caught up by ship wrecks. On a successful voyage the Minty family arrived in Victoria in 1863. Ellen Minty’s early years were spent growing up in Victoria before the family moved to Wagga Wagga in southern NSW. In 1892, Ellen Minty married William Baker, a farmer at Coolamon, NSW. Their early life would have been quite hard as William Baker built a house out of the scrub on the property. The Baker’s were early pioneers in the Coolamon district. The farm was used for wheat growing. Ellen and William Baker had 7 children. 1. William Frederick Baker born. 1893 married 1992 died 1984 buried Jambaroo, NSW 2. Violet Baker (later Mrs Malcom Murchison) born 1896 married 1919 died 1965 3.

After spending some years in Victoria William and Elizabeth Minty moved to Wagga Wagga, NSW where they settled with their children. They had seven children, one of whom passed away in the colony of Victoria. Arthur, the youngest was the only child born in the colony of NSW. Arthur passed away in 1899. The children are listed below: - George James - William - Elizabeth - Ellen - Mary - Arthur After searching, there does not appear to be a published obituary in a newspaper for William Minty, husband of Elizabeth Minty and father to William, Ellen, Mary and Elizabeth. What appears to be known about William is taken from his wife’s obituary. It appears that William and his wife, Elizabeth, were already married in England before departing for Australia. There had been a few attempts to leave England, including ship wrecks. William Minty and his wife seemed to have been a very determined couple to persist in making the voyage and starting a new life in the colonies. After arriving in Melbourne, the Minty family spent about 11 years resident in Victoria before moving over the boarder of the Colony of New South Wales and settling in Wagga Wagga. William Minty worked as a saddler for Mr Robert Cassin in Gurwood Street, Wagga Wagga. He eventually became the manager of the saddler business and eventually took over the business. William Minty advertised a number of times in the Wagga Wagga Advertiser newspaper. When William Minty passed away there was an auction at his business on Friday 14 August 1885. After William passed away, his wife Elizabeth and four children continued to live in Wagga Wagga. Elizabeth Minty stayed in Wagga Wagga until her passing in 1926. She was very involved in the Wagga Wagga Methodist Church. She saw her children marry off. When she passed away there was a service at the Methodist Church she had attended and supported for so many years. There was a large following of relatives and friends. According to the death certificate of Elizabeth Minty, she and William had 7 children. Three sons predeceased her. They were Arthur Minty, George James Minty and 1 other son. Arthur Minty was born in Wagga Wagga in 1879. Arthur Minty passed away in 1899 aged 20 years from a gunshot accident while travelling to Lachlan for shearing.
