I am looking for information on George Garnet or Garnett born Abt: 1861 and died on the 31/7/1914 he married Louisa Hill (her parents Mary Coombes and George Hill)
The family was told that he GEORGE Born abt 1861, was from Parramatta NSW Australia, but no other details about his birth, parents or siblings - he moved (unsure at what age) to Toppers Mountain NSW Australia he lived and died around Inverell NSW Australia, he married Louisa Hill on the 9/11/1889 (Louisa had a twin Henrietta they were born on the 21/10/1872). - Some of George and Louisa’s children are:
George born 1890 – married Isabella Rolfe, (my grandparents)
Walter William born 1891 – married Ethel Chappell,
Helen born 1900 - married Eric Hoey / Walter Delaney
* I am trying to track the Garnett family back but am unable to find birth information on GEORGE Born abt 1861,
* I need to know information about his date & place of birth and parents details.
Can anyone help!!!Regards Susan

A copy of his marriage certificate should include his parents names his age and where he was born.

Bit More,
on the 1878 NSW Electoral Roll for Tenterfield, and at polling place of INVERELL - there's
Henry GARNETT of Swan Vale, and also Andrew GARNETT of Swanbrook...
I'll try to find them on 1870 and on 1903 rolls....
Cheers, JM
-
Bit More,
(remembering it was NOT compulsory to enrol, but that 1903 NSW rolls included for first time, women aged 21 and over, and there was no longer any "property" requirements to be eligible to enrol, also neither the AGE of elector nor if married/single/divorced etc indicators were ever noted )
1903 NSW Inverell polling place.... Susan, I'm not sure if these surnames have any bearing on your chap)
GARRATT, Elizabeth, domestic duties, at Inverell (no street address shown)
GARRATT, William, senior at Greaves St , labourer
GARRETT, Catherine, at Arthur St, domestic duties
Cheers, JM
-
Bit More,
In case you don't have this for Louisa Hill.... - this entry could well be her Dad :D
NSW Electoral Roll, 1878
George L Hill, freehold at Maryland (polling place Tenterfield)...
Cheers, hope this helps somewhat, although not sighted your chap.... sorry.

Hi Jenn,
I have tried BDM but only find George FW Garnett from Braidwood - he is definitely not my George this has been confirmed by his death certificate D.O.D 23/4/1924.
I will consider the Transcription Agents if I don't come up with anything else, after a bit further research by myself and helpful RootsChat people.
Hi JM,
Swanvale and Swanbrook is definitely within the general area, I have not heard of these names before, did you notice if there were any ages against them on the records?
Not sure about the Garratt or Garrett but check with others in my family to see what they think
In relation to Louisa; I have found an excellent link to her ancestors @ http://www.phillips.sheather.co.uk/_sgt/m8m2s6_1.htm
Thank you both for the information

Hi Susan,
The rolls never include their ages, sorry, I have posted all the address that was shown on those rolls... realising that the local returning officer would basically have recognised each person as they came to the polling place to vote... The 1903 roll was the first to include females, and was also generally considered to be the first without any property requirements..., alas I did NOT spot any with an "N" for your George's surname... BUT, the documents I have are NOT keyword searchable, and so it is a matter of trawling from polling place to polling place... I only looked at the polling place near Inverell... could be others here at RChat who can help further... but I'm not sure..
Cheers,
JM

Hi JM,
Thanks, just for my infomartion what does "N" stand for in your sentence "alas I did NOT spot any with an "N" for your George's surname" - I'm new at this & still learning
Susan
-
Sorry Susan,
"N" as in Garnett, I only found Garratt, etc, I did not find GarNett etc.... - I am still learning, and here on the Aussie Board at RChat there's many very experienced contributors... I apologise for my badly worded post... ;)
Cheers,

Louisa Garrett died 18jan1928 - 55 yrs

I don't know anything about this
- G Garrett no details
could you provide any more details about him eg Which Cemetery etc.
***** My ancestors are from the Inverell Area - Garnett /Rolfe/Hill & Griffiths/Baxter/ Whitton - I wonder if we have any connection
Thanks Susan

Hi Susan,
The Jack, Louisa, Frank, G and George are buried in the small township of Elsmore (just out of Inverell) The other one William Thomas was buried in Inverell Cemetery. I could find more details on Elsmore if you would like it.
(I guess could have just been a spelling error).
I am related to Rolfe family from Inverell, but I think there were more than one family of them, (not related to each other)
My Rolfe’s in brief are:
Elizabeth WHITBY BORN: 14th November, 1857 - Armidale NSW. DIED/BURIED: 19/9/1939 -82 yrs - Inverell NSW
MARRIED: 19th August, 1874 – Inv District
TO WHOM: James ROLFE (B.8/9/1846 at Downham, Norfolk, ENG – Died 24/1/1936 – 89 yrs – buried Inverell Cem) (Have not sorted his parents details as yet)
CHILDREN:
1. James ROLFE 1874 - Inverell NSW
2. George Joseph ROLFE Born 1876 Inverell - Married Annie C. HUTTON
3. Vernon Joseph ROLFE Born June,1882 - Inverell NSW - DIED: 17/8/1955 -73 yrs – Inverell MARRIED: 1913 at Inverell
Eva/Edna May(Olive)HUNT
4 Emily E (Emmy) ROLFE MARRIED: 1900 at Inverell TO John D. (Jack) RANKIN (Lived at Toowoomba QLD in 1939)
Anything here look promising? I can give more details if needed….also could list the Rolfe’s burials from my books if you would like them……….Or if you can help with the parents of James (born 1846)…….. Megsy

Yes I have George & Louisa's Marriage Certificate NSW BDM Rego # 1889/005330.
no mention of Birthplace, nor parents names for either the of them - I contacted the United Church Archives (married as Presbyterian) and they advised that they have no records and I could contact the NSW state Archives ( yet to do this) - BDM has a Thomas and Mary Garnet (1 xT ) married within 5 years - also investigating possible link with my George.

Just to through panic into confusion altogether. There are a number of births to a Webb and Louisa Garrett including two unamed males?
Between 1854 and 1865? It does have an unamed male B 1861.
Dont ask me why they didn't name the males. But I dont think any were born Parramatta, but I wouldn't put too much credence on that birthplace.
