I'm searching for Henry William WALKEY (b.1835, Jersey, Channel Islands), son of Joseph WALKEY & Sussanna CARENDUFF.
He married Mary MOSS (b. 1845, NSW, Australia), daughter of John MOSS & Emma FOSTER at Saltwater Creek, NSW in Sep 1863.
In the 1870s, Henry and family emigrated to the USA.
I'm interested in finding out when Henry emigrated to Australia and possibly the ship aboard which he sailed.
Cheers,

Hello there
I had a look at NSW state records
no Walkey but found the following
WALKLEY Henry 21 and wife arrived on the Plantagenet 1857 reference 2138, 2476
WALKLEY Louisa 19 and husband arrived on the Plantagenet 1857 reference 2138, 2476
which is around the right age for your henry
will check the NSW bdm's to see if louisa died
regards jenn
no checked the BDMS and they are a different couple bugger!

Hi
I can't add much to Jenn's search, but I do see on
http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au
that the marriage and births of the 4 children actually are recorded as Patrick Plains NSW.
someone with more local knowledge may tell you if this is near to or identical with Salt Water Creek.
[Sometimes these things turn out to be significant in the longrun as you would know!

These are the registrations for four of Henry's children. I understand that Patrick's Plains is the district or equivalent and Saltwater Creek is the town or equivalent.

It appears in the online NSW BMD index that Henry WALKLEY died in 1901 and Louisa in 1912, which precludes him being the same as my Henry WALKEY.
It would be interesting if the surname in England was WALKLEY or WALKEY...
Thanks for checking.
Cheers,
Laury
