Hi everyone I,m looking for Norah Kenna who was living in Walgett N.S.W. Australia in 1896.At that time she was the licence of the Sportsman Arms Hotel.It,s possible she is my G.G.Grandmother.My Grandfather Alfred John Clarence Lloyd married a Norah Kenna in 1895 in Walgett ,whose mother was also Norah.I have no birth dates for either of these women,but my Grandmother died in 1945 at Petersham Sydney N.S.W. Australia
regards Chrismon

Hi there,
Do you have the NSW marriage certificate for the 1895 marriage? If so, how old was she when she married... and does the document show where she was born or other clues please...
Cheers,
JM

Hi Chrismon

I think you will find that there's just one marriage certificate for Norah's 1895 marriage at Walgett, but that its been indexed and listed under both THOMAS and KENNA... The reference number, 7843/1895, is the same for both her indexed surnames. If you were to order a transcript of the certificate, just mention to the transcription agent that there's TWO indexed surnames for the bride...
Transcription Agents are not as expensive, (and a lot quicker) than the NSW Reg. General's office... I'll modify this post with the rootschat link ...

On the Sands and McDougall Directory 1904
Kenna, Mrs N, baker, Walgett
Don't know if this was the mother or the daughter ???
The only Lloyd who showed on the electoral roll in Walgett is a John LLOYD, hairdresser.
However in the Sands and McDougall 1919 is A J C Lloyd, grocer, Walgett
You probaly have these:
NSW BMD death entry for Norman LLOYD reg Walgett 1901, father Alfred J C, mother Nora
Also death for John LLOYD, reg Newtown 1965, father Alfred John, mother Nora
And three LLOYD births with parents Alfred J C and Nora at Walgett
Norman 1901
Alfred 1901
Lucy M 1905

hope this helps Judith , I certainly appreciate your interest , it,s all very confusing to me & they,re mine I don,t know how you do it! A.J.C. Lloyd,s father was John, his father was George from Bristol ,(who has led me a merry chase )who married- Mary Singleton daughter of Benjamin who founded the town of Singleton.

The more the merrier JM.I have come across these names before.
N.S.W. births to Richard & Norah Kenna at Albury
Johanna 1876
Bridget 1877
These may warrant more attention I had thought the distance was too great bye for now Chris
-
Hi Chris
That distance is quite a long way, but its not that far really, for a drover ... I have forebears who in the late 19th C were droving stock from just about anywhere in Qld (Winton, Blackall, etc) to anywhere in western NSW (Burke, Walgett etc) and into Victoria and to Sth Aust... Albury was sometimes the town where some of my lot rested between contracts... Its worth considering those Albury births ...
Cheers,
JM
