Anning Family Anning Family, Reedy Springs Archive. [Archive] (Unpublished)
Summary
These papers were assembled by Mrs Morag E A Reid in the course of her research into the history of the Anning family in North Queensland. The results of her research have been compiled into a volume titled "Sun on the Right," available in the NQ Collection.
Charles Cummins (spelling varies) Stone Anning, his wife Cleopatra, and seven of their surviving nine children arrived in Victoria in 1851. At various times they held the leasehold of the following stations: Cargoon, Reedy Springs, Chudleigh Park, Charlotte Plains, Compton Downs and Mount Sturgeon in Queensland and Wollorgorang in the Northern Territory. Mrs Reid traces, in particular, the history of C C S Anning's seventh son, Francis Albert Anning and his wife Elizabeth, and their life at Reedy Springs.
The papers are comprised of correspondence, legal documents and copies, unpublished memoirs, miscellaneous notes, account books and some letters and articles contributed by H Anning to rural periodicals.
