Title: Janet TAYLOR Born: Ballarat 1860
Post by: vanessa2011 on Wednesday 06 July 11 09:21 BST (UK)
Hello,

Hoping someone can help me find information about Janet's family. She was born in 1860 in Ballarat to Alexander TAYLOR and Ann HODGES. She married John Torpey in Forbes. I have not been able to find anything about her parents' marriage or siblings and would like to know how they arrived in Australia. Any information gratefully received!
Kind regards, Vanessa

Hi there, I don't have her birth certificate, only her death certificate. It lists her birthplace as Ballarat 1860. She died in 1933 in Bourke NSW...

Kind regards, Vanessa
