I was wondering if you could possibly look up a death record for William Stewart Houston born 12.05.1916.  I have been unable to find a record of his death.

Many thanks

Hi I am new to this site.  I am going to try and take advantage of your kind offer. 
     I have a Thomas and Richard Galbraith born 1834 in County Down, Ireland.  They went to Australia (I don't know when) and were believed to be still alive in the 1890's around Sydney, Australia.  I believe that they were residing together and were sheep farmers and may never have married.  I don't know if this area is available to be looked up by you, but I thought that I would try anyway.  Kind regards, James from Canada.

Please could you do a look up for me too? I would be very grateful. 

My great great Unlce Edward (Ted) SAMUEL and his wife Mary Jessie (nee Holborn) emigrated with their children to Wollongong, NSW. Also with them was Edward's brother William (Bill) SAMUEL and his wife Thyer and their children.  Unfortunatley, I don't know the exact year they left but it was between 1910 and 1920.  (Edward and Mary have been found on 1921 Electoral roll as living at Rosemont St., Wollongong).
Can't find William and Thyer at all.
I would like to know when they died if at all possible.  It's a big ask, I know and if the years to cover are to much then thanks anyway.
Title: Re: Australian Lookups offer - William Gay
Post by: marriedwithkids on Sunday 12 September 04 08:06 BST (UK)
could you possibly look up a William Gay and tell me when he arrived in Aus .I think it was between 1870 and I know he was here in 1885 when he married Elizabeth Semmens in SA.He may have been a miner as some kids born Moont Mines I think anyway. If you could verify this info i would be greatful. Also if you could look up Elizabeths birth and her parents.I think her father was John Semmens.I understand she was very young at the time they married. thanks for your help

Hello again - Not much to report I am afraid, it will have to keep till I can get to town to the library and check shipping for you. It appears that Elizabeth was not born here either...no record of her birth or of her fathers marriage here. With a name like Semmens I would suspect the ladyis likely Cornish also...funnily enough I did see a lot of Semmons while I was looking for Hannah in Crowan!...Hopefully the shipping records should help. Here is what I have for u anyway

William Gay (Son of William) 27 years= Elizabeth Sarah Semmons (Daughter of John) 16 years 5 Sep 1885 at All Saints Church Moonto Dist Dal b 144 p 277

Children

1. Beatrice Mary Gay b 13 Apr 1886 Moonto Mines Dist Dal b 370 p 429

2. William Gay b 7 Oct 1887 Moonta Mines Dist Dal b 405 p 99

3. Gladys Bianca b 31 Jul 1890 Moonta Mines Dist Dal b 462 p 353

4. Cynthia Correze b 23 Nov 1892 Moonta Mines Dist Dal b 510 p 436

That is all there is here.... there is no Death for William or Elizabeth or any of the children and no marriages for any of the children either. Since you are in New South I can only assume that they werent here long and packed up and moved on.
 
Hope this helps
Kris

Hi
I hoping that you may be able to help me??
I have been searching for the last 2 years for details of my Great Uncle Ellis Spencer.
He was born in Nantwich Cheshire England in 1880,
I know where he was in 1891 he was still living in Cheshire but then he dissapears from trace.He is not lsited on the 1901 census.
He is listed on the CWGC as dying in WW1 in 1917,at the time he was serving in the Austalian Trench Mortar Battery .
We have a photograph of Ellis in a bush Hat which ties in with what my Grandfather Albert used to say about his Brother. So I am assuming he emigrated sometime between 1891 and 1901.My grandad said he married and went to live abroad.
Any help you could give me would be appreciated.
Regards

If you search the roll of honour at the Aust War memorial you will find his record.
http://www.awm.gov.au/database/roh.asp

He enlisted at Wellington Mills, WA. Sadly I do not have access to WA BDM records, but will check for links. This is WA Genealogy Soc
http://www.wags.org.au/index.html

I haven't been able to find him in the Australian Archives search which is very strange. Check this link and see if you can find him.
http://naa12.naa.gov.au/scripts/ResearcherScreen.asp
If you can they have a service whereby for no charge they put the records online. This can give lots of information including next of kin. You can also pay for a printed copy of the records by mail.
If you can't find him either, send an email to the archives - they will respond within 30 days and there is no charge for the query.

Hi,

Do you think you could possibly check me these names.  I do not have that much info but I have a bit more now thanks to another helper on this site :)
Some time before (info from Will) 1870 the following family left Yeadon, Yorkshire for Australia,  I now know that they did not return.
George Starkey b 1826 Yeadon, Yorkshire
Amelia Ann Starkey b1823 Helston, Cornwall
Edward Robinson Starkey b 1852 Yeadon Yorkshire
Frederick William Starkey b 1854 Yeadon Yorkshire
William Henry b 1857 Yeadon Yorkshire.

Edward served in the Boer War in the 1 (Qld Mntd Inf) Contgt and he was invalided to England arriving 09.06.00.  Did he return?  He is not in the 1901 census and I can not find a death registered for him in the UK.  William Henry also served in 6 (Qld Imperial Bushmen) Cntgnt - no other info on him at all.

George Starkey is listed in the 61 census as Ag Lab Dealer (Cattle) they were not a poor family - Father was a Methodist Minister and Gentleman.

Thanks

Hello there,  I would be grateful if you could look up any info
on Qld. Pioneer index for info on the families of Richard Heath and Ann Irena White, married 7.4.1864.  Richard was born about 1837/8.  Also my paternal great-grandparents, John William (I think) Knowles who married Priscilla.  Sorry I do not have any other info on them, except I think they originally came from Birmingham, England.  By the way, what county is Birmingham in - all I can seem to find out is that its in the West Midlands.  Any information on the above would be a great help.  Thanks.

I had more of a query as to how to go about finding info--I had two great aunts who were religious nuns who emigrated to Australia and serve there all their livesI figure they left Ireland in the 1910's--1930? (my parents think in the Perth area but not sure).
I have their birth dates-- Mary E. McIntyre was born 1886 and Annie Mc Intyre was born in 1894.
Is there any suggestion you can give me?

No I'm afraid not. An educated guess would be when he was around 20 - say 1848/9. So maybe its between then & 1854 when he married there? Thanks for your interest. I've had a look at most of the 'shipping' sites that people have suggested on here, but can't find him at all!!

Hi Wendy,
Thanks - you have the right family. The parents were married in Adelaide in 1850. They moved to Victoria after Alexander and Charles were born - perhaps they never registered the boys' births. Thanks very much for the search and also the additional marriage info for Alexander - very helpful.

I think the Charles Plummer Shanko refers to is 25y.o. at time of death.

I am also looking for a S.A. birth but have been advised that is was quite common not to reg. children if you lived a fair distance from registry office. Just too far to travel.

cheers,

Wendy :)
Title: Re: Australian Lookups offer
Post by: Shanko on Saturday 16 April 05 12:52 BST (UK)
That doesn't mean that the person can't be found. I could not find a birth at all in someone on my husbands side so I drove up to Hamley Bridge and there in the church records were his baptism. So wether a birth was registered or not you can still find a person

Also when a birth happened and you lived a while away from the main town or place there was an official who went to each town and took details from every person who had been born, died or got married

Never say never

Post by: Shanko on Sunday 17 April 05 07:22 BST (UK)

You always have school registers you can look through if you know the area they lived, there are deaths from the area if the child died young, church registers in that area. Although it would be time consuming there are places you can locate a 'hidden' birth

Shanko

Title: Re: Australian Lookups offer
Post by: Shanko on Sunday 17 April 05 07:25 BST (UK)
I forgot to add that the birth may of been registered but it was lost during the journey from the area to the main records in the Adelaide Central register, or destroyed but it would still be in the church records

Hello!

Thank you for your very generous offer.

I never thought that I would need to ask for help in trying to collect information about members of my family living in Australia as I was under the impression that they all lived in the Middlesex area!

However, I have just heard from a distant relative that some of my GREENEs emigrated to Australia around 1905:

'...Frederick William (born 6 April 1868) and Louisa GREENE (DOB unknown) with their four sons emigrated to Australia around 1905, where they remained.

(Their sons: William Frederick born 30.11.1891/Frank Archibald born 5.9.1895/Alfred David born 9.8.1897/Frederick Walter born 23.11.1898)

Frederick Walter, their son, married there and lived in Perth. He and his wife (Name/details unknown) had a son, Allan Frederick GREENE, born in 1926 and who died at the age of 21 years in a motorcycle accident......'

This is all I have to go on.

If you have any time to spare, I would be very grateful for any information (Births/deaths or marriages) you can provide from the records you have.

Many thanks and best wishes

This is probably firstly a Fed Index search request.

 Albert R Willmott.  possibly born 1890.  Melbourne, Vic
Father Albert W.  Mother (?) Minnie W.

They were new immigrants from London.

There is a strange entry on the passenger lists,( right name right year)  it shows among other possible Willmotts, surname and an odd  upper-case A in a couple of the columns.  Do you know how Born Aboard was indicated in these records?

Secondly, if he is found, is there a marriage?  Anything at all would be of great interest.  With hopful thanks.  Sue

Hi

Are you able to look up or point me in the right direction. My Great Grandmother emigrated to Australia and settled in Sydney taking her daughters with her. I believe her eldest son, Charles Blunden was already there. She died in 1933 and it said on her death certificate she had been in 'The Colonies' 19 years which puts her emigration to abt 1914. Her name was Julia Blunden.

I would be grateful if you were able to do a lookup for me - I am looking for a marriage between Ambrose William Wright and Elizabeth Jane Russell which would have occurred between the late 1890's and 1909. His parents were Thomas Wright and Mary Stirling. He died on 7/9/1929 aged 52 years and his death certificate states that he was born at Echuca, Victoria and married at Fitzroy, Victoria. His oldest child Elizabeth was aged 20 at his death.

I believe her eldest son, Charles Blunden was already there. She died in 1933 and it said on her death certificate she had been in 'The Colonies' 19 years which puts her emigration to abt 1914. Her name was Julia Blunden.

Thanks

Jan
Hi Jan,
I take it you require info on the son Charles, if so I found the following.

Charles BLUNDEN married Alice C KIRK 1905 at Inverell,NSW ref#1466
the only children I could locate are very widely spread so I suspect there may be more
Ewart C b 1906 at Inverell,NSW ref# 4138
Cecil C b 1916 at Randwick,NSW ref# 29671

Ewart C married Ethel A P REMFRY 1927 at Newtown,NSW ref# 9119

Cecil A married Ivy Margaret DRYDEN 1937 at Kempsey,NSW ref# 21170
Cecilis listed as Cecil Andrew BLUNDEN

There is also a death record for Charlesa BLUNDEN 1943 at Ryde,NSW ref# 13149
parents listed as Charles and Julia Ann.

Hope this helps in some way.
Cheers
Geoff

Thanks Geoff, That is really good of you. Can you tell me please how do I find out about the boat she and the girls were on and maybe when Charles arrived there.My father though she ran a shoe shop in Sydney, which is quite possible as some of the earlier Blundens were Cordwaniers.  Is there a web-site I can search. ?  Jan

Hi Geoff

Thanks for coming back to me.  I have been having great difficulty with this member of my family.

My dad's birth certificate in 1929 lists him as 42 born Australia and my dad's sister that died shortly after birth was  1925 at an age of  39.  My mom said that she understood he was born in Sydney.  With that in mind it would give me an approximate date of 1886.  My aunt gave me a date of 20th Nov 1882 but that really does not tie into the birth certificate.  My mom also seemed to think that his father was a James Henry Hudson, but that is looking more remote as the days go by.

At some point in time I think the family must have moved to South Africa .  My understanding is that he had a brother named Leonard (or Edward Leonard, a sister Daisy and another called Beatrice).  Not having had anything to do with them I know little about the family.

He was apparently awarded 3 medals during WW1:
1914-1915 Star to Private FW Hudson
Victory Medal to Clr Sjt FW Hudson
British War Medal to S/Sjt FW Hudson.

Because of the way the Sjt is written I am going to assume that was issued in South Africa while still falling under the British Colony.

I am not sure when he married my grandmother but I think it was in South Africa.  Ironically she was from Mackay Australia and I can now date her family, (Aitken, Cairns, Dewar, Brough) back to the 1600's on the brough line.  I am working on the Aitken and Dewar lines.

If you are able to find anything that would be really great if not I really appreciate all the effort you put into this for me.

Have a great day
Sharleen

Hi Wendy Mc,

Thanks for the information on the marriage of Ambrose William Wright and also his birth - it is most helpful.
I have been confused for sometime about this person as I knew that William Wright whose father was Thomas Wright and his mother Mary Kelly Stirling was married to Catherine Bailey (formerly McDonald) in Victoria in 1887. I presume that William and Catherine were divorced - is there any way for you to find this out?

Hi Alex,

You can search the Victorian Divorce Index yourself at:-

www.macbeth.com.au/indexes/divsearch.html

The marriage cert. for William Ambrose Wright (or Ambrose William Wright) to Elizabeth Jane Russell should have his marital status.

The Victorian BDM's are online at:-

http://www.dvc.vic.gov.au/bdm.htm

You can purchase cert. online and they are downloaded to your computer immediately at a cost of $17-50.

If you do want to purchase anything, I can provide Registration No.s for you.

Hope this helps,

cheers,

Wendy :)

Hi Wendy Mc,

Thanks for the information - I had thought of obtaining a copy of the marriage certificate, but will firstly try the Divorce Index. His death certificate doesn't show the 1st marriage, so I am wondering if the 2nd wife actually knew he was previously married, so maybe the marriage certificate will not show anything.
Many thanks for you help.

I would be overjoyed if someone could give me an idea of when Henry King, son of Nicholas, born in around 1850 in Hampshire arrived in Australia - I have just about given up.  I came out as a child (death certificate suggests under 10 but I feel it was later)  Married in sydney in 1871 (white) and again in 1875 (bennett).  Had some children rural NSW (hillend/sofala).

I thought I was onto something yesterday at the NSw records office - coldstream 1863 had Henry and Eliza but they were from dublin.

I know his life after he arrived but I don't klnow much before that.

Hi speller
In answer to your queries

first my great,great grandfather george drake was deported to australia for smuggling in about 1850, he left his family behind in norfolk.where do i start looking.

Are you in England and close to the Public Records Office in Kew?
They have convict records, so you would be able to find out where he was sent and on what ship. 
The following website may help also.
http://www.coraweb.com.au/convict.htm
What information do you have on him? ie. parents, date of Birth etc.  Australian records are more detailed than English and can be searched by parents for death.

second, my aunt elsie and her two sons francis and billy went to australia in about 1950, i would like to get in touch again, where do i start.

With regards to your aunt elsie and family.   Did they come to Australia via assisted immigration scheme? Which state did they come too?  What is the surname?

Thanks to your message (to Cheryl) and the above link, I managed to locate one of my ancestors, Frank Archibald GREENE, who died in France on 6th May 1917.

The information given by his Father on the form, 'Particulars Required for the Roll of Honour of Australia in the Memorial War Museum' are extremely poignant and have helped to fill a blank in my research.

I had been under the impression that he and his family had travelled to Australia in 1905 (based on information from a distant relative) when, in fact according to the details given by his Father, they travelled there in 1913. Incidentally, I found what I thought was a 'match' on the CWGC site but, at that time, I was unaware that the family had emigrated to Australia, so discounted the information. That'll teach me!!   ;o)

Do you by any chance have any links to sites that might offer additional information - marriages, deaths, etc. - of Frank's siblings/parents? According to the details on the Form, the family lived in Claremont, Western Australia.

Thank you again for the link.

Best wishes

I have also located a William P (Pitman) Udall who died (3760/1906) who I think is their son. Is it possible to find out his age.  The William I am looking for was born in Kent in 1842.

How incredibly gracious of you to make such a kind offer.  I'm sure you are inundated at the moment, but when you have an opportunity and are so inclined, I'm interested in picking up the trail of Thomas Flaherty, of Co. Limerick, Ireland, who, in 1852  was sentenced to 14 years transportation for "cow stealing."  If there is a way to determine whether he arrived in Australia alive, or there are any other signs of his trail on the databases available to you, I would be forever grateful.

Hi MKK,
The details of the trial of Thomas are as you have stated, the only extra I could find was the date of the trial, 16th Oct 1849.
Sentence was 15 years transportation.

The only Thomas Flaherty of that time I could find was the following.
Thomas FLAHERTY married Catherine DRENNAN, Sydney, 1866.
Cert # 98
This couple had only one child as far as I can see.
Frederick J FLAHERTY born 1869, Glebe,NSW Cert #3439

Glebe is an inner suburb of Sydney,just in case your not in Oz.

There is a death registration for Thomas FLAHERTY 1886, Sydney,NSW, cert # 1896
Parents listed as Timothy & Catherine.,

Don't know if these are your FLAHERTY'S, but as I said, they are the only one's in the right time frame.

The 'Rodney' arrived VDL (Tasmania) 12th February 1853.  Left from Cork 24th November, 1852.  It had 342 convicts on board. 339 of them made it to VDL.

On the AVRI there are only 3 mentions of a Thomas Flaherty in Tasmania - a birth in 1871 (father Michael - so not yours), a marriage in 1897 which is probably the same Thomas, and a death in 1895 which could be yours - sadly the parents are not given, which usually means the informant of the death didn't know the parents.

Name - Catchpole

Mr., Mrs, and child 4yrs arrived in Aust. on the Marmosa in1914.  Their ages are right to be "MINE", but I hope for more evidence and wonder whether you could search a little for me.

The names I seek are
Mr. Frederick William Catchpole (Husband)
Mrs Clara Catchpole (nee Parret. b. 19/11/1875 London)(Wife)
Frederick (probably) Catchpole b. 1909 West Ham (Child)

They had extended famly living in Melbourne, so this is a likely spot,  But my attempts at searching the PO directories has not been successful. 

Pehaps an entry of a  death or the birth of another child would give confirmation if it IS them.  I hope this is not too big a task.  With Thanks.  Sue

She is not listed as an incoming passenger to NSW either.

On the Australian Vital Records I found the only entry that could possibly be her.

Hi Geoff & Maggie

With regards to the above record for Mary Jane EAD & Mountan Richard HILL, Craigie is Mary Jane's place of birth and not where they were married.  It appears that EAD is Mary Jane's maiden name, all the children born to the couple have her maiden name as EAD.

~Can any kind person help me solve a family secret?~

In May/poss June 1921 Robert Twaddle and Jessica Sharkey arrived in England on the HMS Themistocles, complete with baby daughter Jean Twaddle born en route 18th May 1921.  Robert Twaddle went to Australia at some point before this, and returned with Jessica and Jean. During WWI Robert worked as deep sea diver in Australian army.

Unfortunately, a few links are missing:
1)When Robert went to Australia, and WHY? Jean maintains it was due to a family argument, but research discovers said argument took place in 1950's, long after Robert left and returned. 

2)When Robert and Jessica married, before or after the birth of Jean and arriving in England

3)If Twaddle was assumed in England. There is a possibility that the surname was originally Tweddle

Ship possibly travelled from New South Wales.

This is a family secret, possibly because something unsavory occurred, eg Jean is illegitimate, Robert was a convict shipped to Australia etc. This problem has been bugging me for years, and I would really appreciate it if anyone could help!Thank you!

Hi ethryne

1)When Robert went to Australia, and WHY? Jean maintains it was due to a family argument, but research discovers said argument took place in 1950's, long after Robert left and returned. 

The following is an entry from the Victorian shipping records:-

MR R TWADDLE  Aged 19 Arrived JAN 1913 Ship ORVIETO  Fiche ref: B 866 008

The National archives has Robert TWADDLE enlisting in the Army in Melbourne.  He Embarked on the 'HMAT Ballarat' in 1917.  His next of Kin is listed as Father Robert TWADDLE Burnhead Farm, Leamahgom, Lanark, Scotland.
There is also a Robert TWEDDLE who enlisted in WW1 - he was from Queensland.
 
You can ask that these records be digitised, may give you more information.
www.naa.gov.au

2)When Robert and Jessica married, before or after the birth of Jean and arriving in England
Where was Jessica SHARKEY born?
I couldn't find a marriage for a Robert TWADDLE in Victoria or NSW in the time period.

Cheers

charby,

You are looking for very recent information so the published indexes won't help.

You might wish to look in the phone directory?  It is online at:
http://www.whitepages.com.au/

You need to search by State and then by regional or metropolitan.

There are only 8 listings for STURT in South Australia and, unfortunately, none for an M STURT and none for Strathalbyn (Strathalbyn is not far south of Adelaide but comes under 'regional').

One of the 7 metropolitan listings is in a southern suburb (Bellevue Heights); the other six are all in northern suburbs.  There are maps for each location on the whitepages site.

The only regional listing is in Whyalla - a long way from Adelaide.  It's probably best to look on Multimap at:
http://www.multimap.com
if you want to see where Strathalbyn and Whyalla are...

Hi Charby,
A quick google of Mark Sturt didn't reveal a lot, but there is one showing up as a participant in a mountain bike event.  you will see this yourself if you put in the name and check 'pages from Aust'
If you then put this in google search -   www.mtba.asn.au
you may get a suitable contact through the club to check if he is yours or not.  They certainly do have aa Adelaide branch. Sue
Title: Re: Australian Lookups offer
Post by: JAP on Friday 07 October 05 11:30 BST (UK)
Hi Sue and charby,

Yes, I did notice those hits on Google ;D  But assumed that charby would already have Googled them.  Perhaps I should have mentioned what a well-known name STURT is in Adelaide (including the name of a local AFL footy club).

I've driven in the Broken Hill, Innamincka, etc areas and places north - but can't imagine cycling there!!  It is harsh dry - but beautiful - country with vast distances.  And I've been to Depot Glen in the Corner Country (South Australia, New South Wales and Queensland meet there) where the famous explorer Charles Napier STURT was camped in the 1840s by a waterhole during an unbearably hot summer when nails jumped out of wooden chests and horn combs bent in the heat (well, I think that was the story!).  One could certainly very very easily imagine the truth of it - though Depot Glen is a beautiful spot (if you like the bush and can cope with very dry and very hot weather).

A relevant map is at:
http://outbacknsw.com.au/Regional%20Map.htm
Note that the Dig Tree (famous from the story of BURKE & WILLS) is also in this map.
Another beautiful place with a waterhole and birds and so on ... but also in the middle of harsh dry (and beautiful) country.

Information about Charles Napier STURT's explorations (including info about Grange, the home - open to the public - where he lived in Adelaide) is at:
http://users.esc.net.au/~pereilly/charles.htm

The name Sturt is quite common geographically in the Adelaide area.

Cheers,

JAP

Hi there again Jap ( my wonderful helper of recent times too!  Thanks forever.)

Yes, of course, Sturt is one of our most lauded, admired and folkore-worthy Aust. names.

The Mountain Bike Club entry was the only joining I could find of MARK and STURT. - so maybe worth a follow up.  It is hard to quite work out how old Charby's MARk might be, but he could well be of cycling age still.
Cheers, Sue

If you are still doing this I wonder if you could look up a Frederick William Hudson, supposedly born in Sydney but I have had no success finding him.

Hi Sharleen
There are some possibilities for you depending on when this event took place.
I had a look at around the 1900 era and there are two possibles.

Frederick W L HUDSON born 1894 at Tamworth,NSW to parents

Title: Re: Australian Lookups offer
Post by: JAP on Friday 14 October 05 10:02 BST (UK)
jenn,

Someone who has all the indexes might be able to find more information for you.

I presume you have the marriage of John HAIR and Agnes MORGAN in 1860 in Victoria, and the births of six children - Robert 1861, Bartholomew, 1865, Samuel 1867, John 1869, Sarah Ann 1871, and Patrick 1873.

Did Thomas Adams BAYLEY and Martha SKELTON migrate to Victoria?  What were the names of their children?

I see from the IGI that persons of those names married in 1839 in Heslington Yorkshire (Thomas's father was also Thomas Adams BAYLEY, and Martha's father was John).  A Thomas Adams BAYLEY and a Martha SKELTON had Thomas Adams BAYLEY bap 20 Feb 1842, St Cuthberts, Edinburgh, Midlothian Scotland.  These are both extracted records.  There are also LDS submissions for children to Thomas Adams BAYLEY and Martha SKELTON but some look very odd indeed.  And LDS submissions saying that Martha died in Victoria in 1894 (I don't have access to that index) and a son Joseph d 1864 Victoria.

That death appears:
BAYLEY Joseph Hater, father Thomas Adams, mother Martha SKELTON, died, age 20, born CHES, 1864 #665.

Well jenn, it seems you will have to search in the UK for the birth dates of children of Thomas Adams BAYLEY and Martha SKELTON given that Martha was aged 48, and their youngest child was aged 9, when they migrated to Victoria in 1862 (NOT 1866).

On the 'Lightning' in Jun 1862 at:
http://proarchives.imagineering.com.au/index_search.asp?searchid=23
were (all on page 6 of the relevant fiche, as you can see for yourself)
BAYLEY T A 46, Martha 48, Cath 17 (do you know anything about a Cath?), Joseph 17, John Hy 14, James 11, Annie 9
and also (all on page 2 of the relevant fiche, as you can see)
BAYLEY Mrs Sarah 40, Ann 18, Frances 15, Emma 13, Sarah 9, Elizth 6, Wm H 3, Mary 1
(is this family related?).

It seems that Lydia BAYLEY and Thomas Adams BAYLEY jnr did not migrate with their parents Thomas Adams BAYLEY and Martha (SKELTON) BAYLEY.  Do you know more about them?  I see that a Thomas Adams BAYLEY is listed on FreeBMD as having married in the Jun qtr 1863 in Blackburn, Lancashire; is this your Thomas?

We now have:

From the IGI at:
http://www.familysearch.org
Thomas Adams BAYLEY (father Thomas Adams) married Martha SKELTON (father John) in Heslington, Yorkshire, 4 Jun 1839
Also from FreeBMD at:
http://www.freebmd.rootsweb.com
A marriage for Thomas Adams BAYLEY is listed, Jun qtr 1839, York, Vol 23, page 569
There is also a marriage for a Martha SKELTON in York in the same quarter but there is an indication that there is something anomalous about it - the page number is given as 519 which is apparently not a page number for York; probably a transcription error of 519 instead of 569.

Known children of Thomas and Martha were:

*Lydia BAYLEY born ca 1840 in England
From http://freecen.rootsweb.com/
Lydia is listed as aged 1 and birthplace England in the 1841 Edinburgh census.
What happened to Lydia?

*Thomas Adams BAYLEY baptized 20 Feb 1842 Edinburgh
From the IGI
You will not find his birth as this was before Statutory Registration was introduced in Scotland (1855).  Probably he was born in Edinburgh but you would need to find him on the 1851 or 1861 census to check out his birthplace.
What happened to Thomas?

*Perhaps a Cath BAYLEY born ca 1845?
From the Unassisted Immigrants list on the 'Lightning' in 1862
It lists a Cath BAYLEY aged 17.

*Joseph Hater BAYLEY born Cheshire ca 1845
From the Unassisted Immigrants list on the 'Lightning' in 1862
It lists a Joseph BAYLEY aged 17
Also from the Victorian Deaths Index
It lists BAYLEY Joseph Hater, father Thomas Adams, mother Martha SKELTON, died, age 20, born CHES, 1864 #665

*John Henry BAYLEY born ca 1847
From the Unassisted Immigrants list on the 'Lightning' in 1862
It lists John Hy BAYLEY aged 14
Also from the Victorian Deaths Index
It lists BAYLEY Hy Jno, father Bayley Thos Adam, mother Martha SKELTON, died at ARM, age 88, in 1931, #7603
(Incidentally, this is probably Armadale, a suburb of Melbourne; note the spelling)

*James Molineux BAYLEY born ca 1851
From the Unassisted Immigrants list on the 'Lightning' in 1862
It lists James BAYLEY 11
And from FreeBMD
It lists James Molineux BAYLEY, birth Jun qtr 1850, Leeds Yorkshire, Vol 23, page 533.

*Annie Christina BAYLEY born ca 1853
From the Unassisted Immigrants list on the 'Lightning' in 1862
It lists Annie BAYLEY 9
And from FreeBMD
It lists Annie Christina BAYLEY, birth Mar qtr 1853, Liverpool Lancashire, Vol 8b, page 159

Let's hope someone can look up the other Victorian Indexes for the above people

Good luck,

I have searched every site I can, to find arrival records for John Hall and wife,Jane nee Coyningham/Cunninghame.

They would have arrived in Australia some time between 1875 (birth of child in Scotland) and 1882 when another child, John Brough Hall was born at Brisbane.  May have had children with them as all immigrated.

Could you please help with this?

Thank you for the offer to do lookups. I am hoping that you can help.

I have only just recently found out that a relative immigrated to Australia in 1888. I have listed the information below

"Unassisted Immigration to Australia"
Date of Arrival: February 1888
Port of Arrival: " B " Sydney
Ship Name:  Austral
Microfiche 493
Page 4

Elder, Isaac      29     
Elder, Jane       30
Elder, Louisa      7
Elder, John         5
Elder, James      1

This is the only information I have been able to find on them since leaving Glasgow, Scotland.

Other information:
Isaac was born in either Ireland, or Scotland.
His parents were John Elder & Margaret Stewart
Brothers: (Known) John, Robert, Thomas and Joseph
Sisters: (Possibly) Anne & Martha
Jane is Isaac's second wife. Her maiden name was Russell.
Louisa is the daughter of Isaac and first wife Margaret McIntosh.
They lived in Glasgow, Scotland, prior to immigrating to Australia.

Any information you can give me with regards to this family would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Janice

William Russell ELDER born St Arnaud 1892 Ref: 27497 Parents: Isaac Stuart ELDER & Jane RUSSELL

Hi Fern123

Back Creek was more than likely an area of Bendigo back in the gold digging era.

Maud Winifred's death in 1858 (aged 5months) give her place of birth as Bendigo.

Spurred on by Genni's post, I went Googling - and, as might be expected, there were many places called Back Creek (one significant central Victorian gold mining site was a Back Creek which was later re-named Talbot).

However, as Genni said, the relevant Back Creek was surely close to, or in, Bendigo given that 'Bend' is given as baby Maud's birthplace on her death entry.

I found the following:
http://www.trove.net/AULG0001/AULG0001_021017.html

It is a view (small!) of "the Sandhurst cemetery at Back Creek" - Sandhurst being an earlier name for Bendigo.

From the Cemeteries site provided by Genni, it seems that it is now the Bendigo Public Cemetery.  Here is a quote from that site at:
http://www.bencemtrust.com.au/Bendigo_Cemetery.htm
"The first registered burial was that of Ellen Mowbray Murphy on February 1st 1858 age 3½ years. This cemetery has also been known as the Back Creek and Sandhurst Cemeteries (not to be confused with the Sandhurst Burial ground in Bridge Street)."

Hello I was wondering if I may impose on you for help in locating a relative of my family, I can't find any birth or marriage listed in Victoria for her or her parents, I know she did exist as I met her a few times and even have photo:
Name: Melva Keane  born somewhere around 1901-1925?  in Victoria, Australia,
Parents: Alfred & Rose Keane
I know she did marry but who I don't know and had 2 children?
My Grandmother Ada Keane was her aunt I believe is the connection.  Any help in this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Barb

Were Alfred's parents: John Andrew Keane & Eliza ABSOLOM?

Thomas Aflred KEANE died Moon (possibly Moonee Ponds) 1962 aged 67 ref: 6748
Rose Emily KEANE died Moon 1973 aged 81 Parents: Joseph RICHMOND & Kate Emilia COLK. Ref: 30559

Thomas KEANE married Rosie Emily RICHMOND in Victoria 1919 ref: 8397

It would mean Melva was born after 1920.

Hello

I noticed you have an index for early Bounty Immigrants to NSW.

Some of my ancestors arrived very early c1800-1815 as convicts and
making up the gen tree has introduced some strays.  I have been advised that the Scots Church of Sydney had a bounty scheme in operation and this could help explain some oddbods. ???

Are you able to advise if the name Melville (Scots) appears.
Place of origin would have been Larnarkshire

On the COE side I have mystery Goddard
Place of origin would have been parish Shoreditch...Whitechapel, London

I found a whole host of rellies by fluke on a website re the Maitland that arrived in 1838 and thru this I discovered about 4 families all related.  They were the Wenhams Marshalls and Chapmans.
The Maitland carried those from areas like Beneden & Rolvenden in Kent

http://www.fairhall.id.au/maitland.htm

I noticed you have Bates in your surname interests would they be
around Singleton and Bingara NSW?
Also Whelan, mine are concentrated in Tasmania.

Hi,

I have been searching unsuccessfully in NZ for a marriage between Arthur Augustus Percy DYETT and Margaret Ann O'SHANASSY (or variant).

Two children were born in Victoria - Flora Virginia DYETT, 1892 and Louisa May DYETT in 1893. Both of these appear on the Victorian Indexes and their birth certificates state that the parents married in Hastings NZ and one has a date of 28 October 1890 on it.

There is a high probability that Margaret was living in Melbourne at that time (she had been in care at St Vincent de Paul , South Melbourne in 1883-85) and a chance that the marriage took place in Melbourne circa 1890. The family returned to NZ in 1894.

Any help is most appreciated.

Hi

I have been looking up the O'Shanassy family as they are related to us.  I found the marriage of Michael and Flora on the Victorian justice department website I have looked at all the other O'Shanassy listings for marriages 57 of them and only 1 shows a Margaret O'Shanassy but she was marrying a William King in 1860.

You can search the records and it will come up with how matching items it finds.  To view each result page is .99c which gives you the basic info.  If you want to view an image or buy a certificate it costs $17.50.  Here is their website if you want it.

Hi Tsumi

There is a possible Symons family living in Geelong during WW1. 
Charles Henry SYMONS and his wife Elizabeth Ann MORGAN.  As in those days the wife was usually addressed using the husband's initial.  It could possibly be the family your seeking.

I saw your offer to do some South Australian Look ups.

I am searching for the death of a Charles Neal born England Hampshire about 1845 I think he may have travelled to South Australia sometime in 1875 as his first child Louisa Elizabeth Adelaide Neal was born in Portsea Hants in the July/August/September period of 1875

He must have died by the end of 1877 as his widow Louisa Jane Neal remarried a Charles John Greenfield sometime in 1877 in New South Wales.

If you could check it would be appreciated.

How is your research going?
I've found John Bayley, b 1819, Dorset on the 1841 census and have a copy of the passenger list for his arrival in Australia. Also that of Thomas Adams Bayley, with Martha.
Have you been in touch with Janelle G.?
Is there anything I can help you with?
We share the same Thomas Adams Bayley, and Sarah Browning Bayley as our common Ancestors.

Hi Jackaroo,
The only James & Isabella KINGHORN I can locate are the following.
Elizabeth KINGHORN born 1854 at Bathurst,NSW & died 1865 at Orange,NSW
Margaret born 1845 at Bathurst
The parents are James & Isabella KINGHORN

James KINGHORN died 1878 at Orange,NSW. Parents Abraham & Margaret KINGHORN.
Isabella KINGHORN died 1889 aged 79 years at Orange,NSW. Mother's name Charlotte.

There are quite a few marriages, deaths and births of grandchildren involving James & Isabella's children.
Just too many to list here.

Margaret Kinghorn died 1848 aged 72 years at Bathurst,NSW
I could not find a listing for Abraham KINGHORN'S death.

Hope this helps.

I am curious about the Jenkins and McLaren listing...I have an Ellen Jenkins b. abt. 1871 Wales.  According to family stories, she met Alexander McClarren on board the ship to the US and married him...(this family spelled the name as above).  I know nothing about Ellen nor can I find Alexander anywhere.  Both appear in the 1900 Census.  We think they arrived abt. 1886.

Might there be anyone who has access to ship records for that time? Sadly all I have is a name William Henry Evans and dob Mar QTR 1867. The info I have for him is at

             Hi     Gre-g,      I noticed that one of the names you are researching is a Lewis from Herefordshire England. I know that it is a long shot, but I am looking for my Great grand father  Henry Lewis, who was born in England, I was wondering if there may be a connection.

                                       All I have is a Death Certificate from Australia which states that he was born in London England, around 1829.

Could someone kindly do a death look up for me. 

Charles Henry BEETCHENOW [my g g grandfather] emigrated to Australia and in Jan 1855 married Louisa WAKELING.  They had four children, two died in infancy.  Louisa died in 1921 - my 95 year old dad remembers her well. I can't find the death on Victoria BMD site or NSW BMD site of Charles.  There is a death for a Charles Henry BEETCHENOW  in 1861 but it his infant son.  My dad thinks he died in the late 1890's.  I have found that Beetchenow is often mistranscribed so that may be the problem in this case.  I would appreciate any help.

I should have explained myself better.......the Victorian Inquest Index lists all deaths that have had a questionable cause eg. car accident, poisoning, suicide etc.....between the years 1840-1985.
There is a Jessie Beetchenow who died 1943 and Frederick Walter Beetchenow died 1965. If you are interested, I can send you a pm with further details.

Unfortunately if everyone posts requests under the subject 'Australian Lookups offer', no-one else who may be researching the same names, will see your query or anyone elses. The more people that see each others requests the better and you never know who you may find.

Perhaps the moderators could help out here to prevent this happening in the future.
