William Henry Pollard (b 30/6/1859 in Wheal Ellen, District of Mt.B, South Australia) married Mary Ann Carmichael (b 21/5/1857 in North Kapunda, South Australia) about 1877.
Does anyone have information on the ancestors of this family or the best place to look for information

Hi Viking57,
Welcome to RootsChat. Here is the marriage to start with
POLLARD William Henry 30 Single father William Pollard = CARMICHAEL Mary Anna 20 Single Father William Richard Carmichael 7 Feb 1877 Lutheran Parsonage Rosenthal Dist Bar 110/451
Age does not match William Henry POLLARD born 30 Jun 1859 ???
Mary Anne does match the one you have provided
unfortunately no fathers listed at the marriage of her parents
CARMICHAEL William Richard 35 Widow father unrecorded = HOLLAND Mary Ann Howard 23 Single father not recorded 28 May 1856 Res of William Richard Carmichael Kooringa Dist Tmu Symbol V 26/364
Cheers Kris :D

State wide cemetery search shows
Mrs Mary Ann Pollard buried at Bute
aged 75 at death in 1932
There are a few Pollards buried in more recent times at Mt Barker including a 'Bill' who may be related.

I also see what appears to be a siblings marriage here
CARMICHAEL William Richard Howard 32 Single father William R Carmichael = POLLARD Julia 29 Father William Pollard 3 May 1893 Res of William Pollard Moonta Dist Dal 175/529
POLLARD Julia 28 May 1863 Angaston Dist Ang 28 482 Parents William Pollard and Caroline George
I can see 4 other girls born to this couple in SA but alas no William Henry and no marriage of William and Caroline in SA so looks like he probably arrived with them
Cheers Kris :D

Aha yes they arrived 1847 aboard the Rajah
http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/passengerlists/1847Rajah.htm
This site suggests the child was William Henry

Hi Viking,
I noticed that you have a KLISKEY in amongst your lot. When you have time, do visit this website below. This lady is doing the KLISKEY Family Tree and has lots of connecting names too. ( I have just started my KLISKEY research so will no doubt be posting re this surname, soon).
Maybe worth going to have a look?

Hi Viking,
I am currently researching the Pollard family history.
William Henry Pollard and Mary Ann Carmichael were my great grandparents.
I am now researching back in Redruth and Constantine, Cornwall for confirmation of birth and marriage dates for William Pollard and Caroline George. I have been given dates but cannot locate any records.
I have a family web site at myheritage.com called The Biller Tree Website if you would like to check it out for further details you are welcome to request membership. I have dates going further back but need documents for confirmation to make sure I am on the right track.
Please let me know if you have any further information.
Regards,
Janne

Hi Janne,
William Pollard was born in Redruth Cornwall 14th July 1819. He was my 2nd G Grandfather, his wife Caroline George was born 20th Oct 1823,also in Cornwall, I think. They were married on 3rd Feb 1844 in Redruth.
Their first son was also born in Redruth Cornwall, William Henry Pollard b. 21st March 1847. (my G Grandfather). They emigrated to South Australia where the rest of their children were born.
William Richard Carmichael also my 2nd G Grandfather, was born in Ireland, I think. He came out to South Australia. He married Mary Ann Howard Holland 28th May 1856. He was a Surgeon and died in Freeling S.A. 18th Nov 1873. There were a few families of Pollard that came out at the same time and settled in the Barossa Valley S.A.
Hope this helps.....
cheers,
