Hi jaro,
Was Edmund's wife Jane (Jean?) DAY? Given that on later electoral rolls ( not "census" Lilylala - wish we were so lucky ;D) Clive and Lional are named as Clive Leonard and Lionel Eric then I think I can see their births in Victoria. The marriage was in 1897 in Victoria. Again you would need to consult documentation and Vic certificates can be downloaded online.

In Victoria between 1870 and 1890 ELLEN and EDWARD/EDMOND had a number of children.
Her maiden name usually appears EFFERSON
This is perhaps the marriage

Hi,
An 1862 Victorian Government Gazette on page 1991 has a list of shareholders of the Grand Junction Gold Mining Company at Bunkers Hill near Ballarat. In the list is an Edmond Foley of Bukers Hill holding 1 share (many others held 1 share as well). If this was your Edmond it puts him at Bunkers hill in 1862.
Regards
Gerry

Thanks for that. Have a Happy Xmas . Jaro

For your interest JARO.
A girl named MARIA DAY (nee EFFERSON) was having children in very much the same region as ELLEN FOLEY (nee EFFERSON) and I think she was probably her sister. The marriages show the women were both born in TAS.
I have not yet been ablr to establish parents of the two.
MARIA’s husband was THOMAS LEONARD DAY. (The second given name appears not on the marriage but on some births and deaths of their children),
I think there is a strong possibility that EDMUND and his wife JANE DAY were cousins. Their marriage took place in ARARAT, where JEAN/JANE was born according to the marriage index.
MARIA’s marriage took place at ARARAT where THOMAS LEONARD and MARIA (EFFERSON) had many children including SARAH JANE (see below for marriage) The name LEONARD has reappeared in the naming of EDWARD and JANE’s children.
This is perhaps the death of EDMUND jnr’s wife JEAN/JANE in NSW

HI Sue,Thanks very much for that Jaro

jaro are you still looking for information about this Foley family from Lithgow and Thomas Foley married to Mary Mcbean? These are my ancestors and I have a history of the family that was done by someone else. I am not sure that it is entirely correct though and wondered if you had been able to find any further information that may match mine, or if I can help you with what I know.
-
Hi I have gone as far as I can with the Foley family (1525).They are not my relations but my daughter in laws.All my info is on excell spreadsheet which I can send if you give me your email address.( I have spent the last 30 minutes trying to send you my address privately :'( Regards Jaro

Hi Jaro, thank you so much for the reply. I would love to have a copy of your spreadsheet that would be wonderful. The problem is that I cannot send anyone personal / private messages until I have made 3 posts. I think you can send me one though and I may be able to answer and send you an email address. I looked at the help menu and apparently you can access this through your profile and my messages. I hope this will work.
PS. I have been able to send you a private message after initially posting this reply.
