To all who have put in requests and have not heard from me I sincerely apologise, but I have had no notification that anyone requested lookups. Thanks to redcrystal who PM me I see I have some lookups to do. I will get onto all of your lookups this coming week.

Hi Shako,
Thanks very much for your kind offer.
I would appreciate a lookup for -
George Henry BASHAM born c1866

Thanks

Hi would you please look up James Lowe in A Free Passage to Paradise: Passenger lists of United Kingdom Emigrants to South Australia 1836 - 1840
and Colonial residents of South Australia 1839 - 1848.
He had a daughter Annie in Sydney about 1840. Sometime within the following 22 years his wife died and he went back to London and from their to South Africa with his children.
Thanks, Laverdiere

Hiya
I will be working on both of yours tomorrow and will post any results I find
Shanko
;D

Hi Ros
Ok I went through the fiche and cd for births and could find no trace of the surname Byfield.
regarding George Henry I checked both the cd and fiche and here you go:
George Henery BASHAM
Birth date : 25/9/1865
Father : Charles Abraham BASHAM
Mother : Catherine Frances HUSSEY
Birth Place/Residence : Port Elliot
District : EnB
Volume: 39
Page : 250
The information is confirmed on both cd and fiche.
Hope that helps
Shanko

I found a James LOWE on the Free Passage to Paradise index
James LOWE
Application # 3162
In the Colonial Residents of South Australia I did find some James LOWEs but there was none before 1842 which would coincide with the one I found in the Free Passage index.
Also apparently a reunion was held in 1870-1871 in the Town Hall for all of the first 5 years of First Fleet passengers, and photos were taken, and are named with the people who went to the reunion. I can have a look and see if I can find where the photos are (possibly at State records or City Library) and see if James LOWE is in them.
As I mentioned to Ros above I will be going to State Records next week so will look for you then. In the mean time if you have any other information that may help in the search let me know.
Sorry I couldn't be of much help today
Shanko
;D

Thanks Shanko. Here's what I know about my James Lowe family (which isn't much):
James and wife Jessie Lowe were likely from Scotland.
They were in Sydney, Australia by 1841 (give or take a year) as daughter Annie was born there. Jessie likely died before 1862 as James Lowe and children traveled to Natal, South Africa then. His other children were: William, Janetta, Jessie, and Charlotte.

Hi Shanko
If possible could you please lookup for any records on Henry( Harry) Edward Bruce. He was born approx 1886 in SA.
This man is abit of a mystery. Up to now I have not been able to find where this man was born but my aunts say they think he was born on Kangaroo Island in SA. I have found nothing definite yet to back up this info.
His father was George Bruce and mother was Elizabeth Plummer.
He married in York WA in 1905.
This is abit like looking for a needle in a haystack but am just about that desperate.
This bloke was a bit of a colourful character it seems he deserted his family when they were young over here in WA and changed his name and one day just showed up again on their doorstep years later. Lets just say he was not welcome. He was my Nans father.
Hope I have not confused you Shanko and if you dont have time for this one please dont put yourself out, I know this is a big ask.
Many thanks

Hiya troods,
I couldn't find a birth today BUT I haven't gone through everything as yet so don't think I have finished as I haven't. I love challenges :)

Here it is incase you don't have it :
Birth 1859
Eliza PLUMMER
District Counter Bay, Currency Creek
Father : Benjamin PLUMMER
Mother : Eliza Devine
The original birth registers are at Alexandrina Library down Victor Harbour way.
I am heading into State Records next week as have some of the above to check for so while I'm there I'll check through some Sands and McDougall directories books to see if I can find your family and where abouts they were living
Leave it with me and I'll get back to you next week.
Sorry its not any earlier but I can't get there this week
Shanko

I'm looking for any information on a Henry Lawson Walker born Australia - I believe South, likely Adelaide about 1858-9. He is recorded in Scottish 1881 census as aged 22.
I believe his father was John Cunningham Walker and mother Ellen Walker - I know there was an Ellen Lawson Walker born Adelaide 1871.
Any help gratefully received.

Martin,
Sorry for the delay in replying. Due to circumstances beyond my control I have not been able to undertake any lookups over the last week.
I will however get onto them within the next 2 weeks. I do apologise for this.

Don't apologise. I know what it's like. Any help will be gratefully received anywhen.

Hi.
I am glad to read that you like challenges :D lol...
Ok.. From your list of goodies, these things interest me,
*Cemetery Records
*Shipping - Hodge Index
Part 1: Arrivals 1837 - 1845
Part 2: Departures 1837 - 1845
*Shipping - Pikes Index
*Index to Register of emigrant labourers applying for a free passage to South Australia 1836 - 1841

*Colonial residents of South Australia 1839 - 1848
*Adelaide Hospital Admissions : 1840 - 1853
I am looking for any information about George Henry Bras(s)ington. I know he married on the 13.11.1837 to Susan(nah) Davi(e)s in SA. Had two children while in SA, Phoebe B.1838, and Caroline B.1839. Phoebe born and DIED 1838 in SA according to LDS info.
I would love to know how George and Susannah got to SA, and how they got to(?back to) NSW. I think that it is very possible that they both lived in NSW before going SA. They definitely had moved to NSW by April 1841 as they had a child there.
Thanks for your time!

Hi Shanko,
I would like to take you up on your offer of South Australian lookups. I don't know whether you will be able to help me - I am looking for the arrival of Thomas William Palmer and his wife Charlotte Jane Palmer in South Australia. They were married in Exeter County of Devon in September 1865 and their daughter Elizabeth was born in South Australia the next year. They resided in South Australia for 5 years before living in Victoria for the rest of their lives.
I would be most grateful for any information you are able to give me.
Regards,
Alex

Hello Shanko,
I would appreciate a lookup of arrivals in South Australia please. I have a brickwall which I have been working on for some time. My 2 x great grandparents Thomas Veale and Charity Edwards were in Melbourne in 1850 when their son was born. I have not been able to find when they arrived in Australia - there are no records of them arriving in Victoria or New South Wales. I know quite a lot of migrants came overland from Adelaide to Victoria so am wondering if Thomas and Charity did the same.
Regards

Thank you for your willingness to help lost souls!
I am completely at a loss to know anything about an ancestor named Mary Crimmins, born supposedly in Adelaide about 1860, later to marry a man named Finnane at Sandhurst (Bendigo) in 1878, with her dying in Sydney in 1930.
Can you please tell me if and when she originated over your way?

Hi Shanko
Thanks for your kind offer.
I am looking for the following:
Mary Ann BARNFIELD b c1827 Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire
Heinrich Christian Conrad BAUMGERTEL b c 1826 Lautenthal, Hannover, Prussia
According to submitted IGI records they married 13 Jun 1850 in Kensington, South Australia.
I do not know when Mary would have arrived - I have her in Gloucestershire on 1841 census, but not 1851 suggesting some time between the two (and before 1850 if the marriage is correct).
The same submitted record says she died 11 Aug 1881.
I would appreciate anything at all, but especially anything that might refer to her birth, parents and reason for emigration/ immigration.
Many thanks in anticipation,
Arranroots ;)

Hi Shanko

Hi Shanko ! How are you?
Well I'm still trying to find my Frederick Cooper born 1899 in Jersey Channel Islands/ Ireland - lived in Liverpool till approx 1920 - then went to Australia and changed his name to Grice
The "naughty boy" - was not mine - more's the pity! I quite liked him!!::)
Any chance you could maybe try something else? I'd appreciate your help!!
Have a wonderful night!
Annie :P

Hey Annie!
I'm good thanks, How are you?
You have my email so for sure just send me what else you'd like me to look through and I'd be happy to help you out :)

Update on MaryAnn BARNFIELD.

Many thanks in anticipation,

Hi Shanko
Thanks for your kind offer.
I am looking for the following relative:
Adam Barlow came over to Australia sometime between 1856-1859. He may have been traveling with his Dad. He was around 39 years old at the time. His father's name is John.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Reference a Samuel Gillard born 1822 and his wife Margaret born 1828, both in Cornwall. A child Ann was baptized 11 May 1846 in Cornwall, the next child Elizabeth was born in Adelaide 21 Jul 1848, they had another son John born 15 Jan 1852 in Adelaide and then went to try their luck in the Victorian goldfields. I have yet to find their arrival in Australia, could be a different spelling? Any help appreciated

Arranroots,
OOps I didn't finish that last sentence.
I have contacted a friend who will hopefully get back to me soon with the details on these death certificates which will give the time they were in the Commonwealth and the details of the cause of death.
NB: I have had two deaths in the past I have looked for for other people and although the length of residence wasn't put on death certificates until after 1908, the two I found for other people did have that extra information on them.
So you never know. Fingers crossed.

Hey thanks Shanko! :D
I will add these to Kris' notes and there is quite a big family! Kris found them in the SA Biography book, of that helps.
Not bad for a girl from rural Gloucestershire - but what a set of names! Can't help wondering what (apart from grinding poverty) took her to Oz, but the girl done good!
Many thanks for your time,
Arranroots ;)

A word of advice about the SA biographical books, they are not 100% accurate. Many many mistakes have been made with them so I wouldn't take those details too seriously

Hi Shanko!
Would love to take you up on your offer .. if you're not flat strap.
I'm in search of ELLEN ELLIOT.
Birth?
She was born in South Australia circa 1891.
Parents: Mother - Marie Elliot (previously Allwright, nee Durant)
Father - Henry Elliot
Census?
I believe she was in the 1891.
Do you have that on hand which you could look up please?
Death?
She may have died in Darwin (NT) or returned to SA - anytime after 1933.
Hope you can help me out and thanks for your time.
Cheers :)
-
Hi FBD
I'll look into yours tomorrow.
As for the census, South Australia only has the 1841 which you can thank the old premier Don Dunstan for as he was the one who ordered for all other census except the 1841 to be destroyed. His reasons being the later ones have no historical use. >:(
So no one can help you with the 1861, 1871, 1891 etc census for South Australia

Amazing? It was a totally bad move on his part, he should never of destroyed thos census returns.
I don't know about others states but I think they may have more years than South Australia.

Yes, I should have said astounding. It was a very bad move on his part. BTW thanks for checking all this information. I look forward to hearing if you find any information from the immigration records on Adam Barlow.

Hi Shanko, thanks for the offer of look-upsl.I am looking for any info re JOHN HAUXWELL, who arrived in SA sometime between 1871(he is in the census in Yorkshire 1871) and then appears in SA on 6-4-1879 re birth of a daughter 'Lily' to Marg.Ellen Davis. I have not been able to find his arrival to SA.In Yorkshire he had a wife, Elizabeth, and maybe daughter Isabella, born,1872 and son John,1874..His other Son Joseph, born 1860 Yorkshire appears in SA, also his daughter Elizabeth, who married Samuel Crabb in England and they arrived in SA Port Adelaide, 10-7-1876 on 'Lightning'.

I would be grateful if you have access to the Unassisted Immigrant fiche, for
Victoria and could please look up the entry for Julia Blunden & her two
daughters Mabel & Emily Blunden who sailed on the SS Miltiades , October 1913. The
reference is 882-006. I have no idea which ports they sailed from or to or
where they were going once they got there.
I also know that her married daughter Mary, but known as Polly went to Australia with her husband and son. Both were called Albert Parker, but the husbands first initial was E. I don't know if they went before or after her as I cannot find them on the web-site for Victoria.
Many thanks

Sharon,
Unless you have a date range it will be impossible for me to check every single day in the shipping papers. I do not go through indexes as many have errors, I go through the actual papers from the ships.
Also do you know for sure they went to South Australia?

Since you have the deaths in N.S.W it might be an idea to check those shipping records first.
I do not have N.S.W shipping access I only have South Australia. Try placing a post in the main board I am sure someone will be able to help you with the N.S.W shipping

hi shanko,
thanks for the reply.
think i may have hit a stumbling block not really sure of dates , other than poss. somewhere between 1901 and 1914, not that that really helps muchand not a 100% sure of part.
just had contact with someone searching the same doughtys
hopefully she'll have an insight into this.
many thanks sharon

Hi Shako,
Thank you very much for your kind offer.
I would greatly appreciate a search on "South Australian Marriage Registration Index 1842 - 1916" for the marriage of the following:
Charles MORRELL and Jane Bradford WEBBER
James TURPIN and Ann Bradford WEBBER
Christopher GILL and Kate WEBBER
Robert TOMKINS and Mary WEBBER
John Oswald DINHAM and Ellen WEBBER
Henry KING and Emily WEBBER
I am hoping all have Bride's father as William Wood WEBBER.
Thank you very much for your time.

HI Shako,
Would appreciate look up for following:
Edith Marie Tullett (born 1887) married in 1907 to William MARTIN. both from Sussex, England as far as I know.
Both came to Australia, early 1900's. Sorry not sure to where,or where from.
If you can find anything from this poor info I'd be very grateful.
Thanks
Mark

Dear Shanko
How kind of you to offer to do these look ups!
I am interested in finding out shipping details of a Charles Hill b1827 in High Ham. He lived and died at Nairne, SA where his first son, Mark, was born in 1851. Somewhere between 1827 and 1851 he came to Australia. He may have also come out with his wife, Mary Anne Baker but I am unsure.
Charles was a labourer so he may have come out on assisted passage. I notice that you have Pikes index coverage as well as Hodge index coverage so I would be grateful if you could look through those.
Thank you kindly

Hi Shanko
Would it be possible to lookup marriages and deaths for two siblings.
Also if able to find their parents death details.
(1) William Swaby OXLEY b. 1858 Port Adelaide
(2) Harriet Ann OXLEY b. 1863 Port Adelaide
Parents are John OXLEY and Sarah Ann OXLEY (nee HAMS).
John Oxley may have been buried in abt. 1895 Alberton????????
Greatly appreciate any information.
Cheers

Wonderful service you provide.
I am beginning to think my ancestor had very strong arms and swam to Australia.
Could you look up some shipping lists for me.
John Manners born 1841/2 Greenock Scotland, (possible parents John and Catherine or Margaret or combination, Manners.)
John married in 1866 Ulladulla NSW. On his death certificate 1909, states he had been in the colonies 53 years. Means he would have been about 13/14 when he arrived around 1856.
I located the names of 3 ships leaving Greenock arriving Port Adelaide folowing dates:
Trafalgar 13/11/1856
Washington 19/5/1852
Lady Emma 17/1/1854
There are a number of ships leaving Glasgow also but I thought I'd go for the most obvious, knowing John was born Greenock.
Any info most appreciated.

I only do South Australia so the other statesI won't help with
As for the shipping records I can't go through approx 40 years so a time frame is needed. I hope you can appreciate going through each year to look for a certain family in these records is an enormous job which I am willing to help but not with that kind of searching.
The deaths I'll get back to you within a week and a half

Hi Shanko,
That was a quick, Sorry I gave too much info. I only need the death of Ernest Benjamin Chomel, and the arrival
of James Flether Chomel would you be able to search back about 5 years from April 1876. I have found single young males married very soon after they arrive.
thanking you kindly

Dear Shanko.
Re: previous posting.
I presume that there were no shipping details for Charles Hill?
Hmm, will have to keep looking...
Thank you
Heidi
-
Heidi,
Sorry I don't understand your post.
I have looked for your Charles Hill but have yet to locate him.
The earliest date for South Australia shipping is 1836 prior to that were the other states. So your earlier years you might want to look in those other states.
Charles may of well come over to Australia and embarked in another state but travelled onland to South Australia.
I am still looking but please try the other states if you think he came over prior to 1836
Shanko

Dear Shanko
I have just found out that James Fletcher Chomel was in South Australia before November 1865, if it is possible could you work back from that date to see when he arrived there.
Must apologize for this confusion, I have been told that he married for a second time. 1st in 1865 and again in 1876.
Hope I have not caused too much trouble.
yours sincerely

Shanko, Would very much appreciate your time for a lookup in immigration records.
I am looking for James McNicol c1819 Wigton, Cumberland and his wife Mary Dand. They had a son William Grasmere McNicol 'born at sea' 6 Aug 1852 so could have been on the voyage to Australia.
I have discovered that a ship named the Grasmere arrived in Adelaide about 28 Aug 1852.

George Whateley Holmes, who later settled in NSW, arrived in Goulbourn 1864 approx.

Do you have any Ships records for approx 1864, and do you have any naturalisation records for him?
He was born in Birmingham in 1843.
Many THanks

Will be glad if you are able to help with ship?
Thanks Bob

I'll check tomorrow when I check the other requests for the ship records.
Regarding the naturalisation records, do you know if he was actually naturalised? Also if you do a date would be needed, or an approx date
Shanko

No I don't know a date
He was later Mayor or Armidale for one year- not sure that means he was naturalised- in the absence of exact information perhaps you should skip this

Regarding the marriage I will check tomorrow for you as I have to go to the library anyways.
As for shipping I will need an approx date as I cannot go through every single ships records as that would be an enormous task to do as the later shipping is not indexed.
So for example 1877 to 1879 just a couple of years between.

Forget the shipping record. It is a long shot as I don't know when he may have come to Aust. He may have come in via another port either NSW or Vic. I don't know. So, forget that one.

Hello Shanko
Would it be possible to lookup two ship arrivals into South Australia.
(1) "OCEAN CHIEF" departed Plymouth and arrived in South Australia on 7th April 1864.
The passenger I wish to confirm on board this ship is:- BUSH John Ryder from Devon, England. (abt. 19 years old).
(If correct where can I purchase copy of Shipping Record).
(2) Do not know ship name they arrived on in South Australia, but I am looking for:
WILLIAMS Thomas and his wife WILLIAMS Mary Ann (nee Bishop). Possibly from Devon??. I believe time period of arrival would be between 1845-1848. Their first child born in SA was Nov 1848.
If impossible to check 2nd request I thank you for your time.
Cheers

Hello Shanko
Thanks for your offer of help.
I'm not having much luck with the online SA passenger lists. I'm trying to locate ship/arrival dates for Ellen McManus and George Briggs.
From BDM certs Ellen was 21 (from Co Cavan) and George 25 (from Leicestershire) when they married in Mintaro SA in 1857. She had been in SA for about 1 year and George 5 years before going to NSW. They had a daughter Rose Anne in Adelaide in 1858.
Ellen's death cert gives her age as 63 in 1903 and that she was 16 when she married. Either she put her age up to travel and marry or her son got the info wrong for the death cert.
The only Ellen that I have found was on the British Empire in 1850 -she was 22 and i don't recognise the other McManus names on that list. I haven't found any George Briggs'.
Any suggestions as to where I can look?
thanks Chris
-
Hi Chris,
Have you any idea of when they may have come out to South Australia? I know you state she had been in SA for 1 year before she married but she may not have come straight to SA to start with. The same with George.
I am going to the State records this week and if you have an approx date I will go through the records for you.
I'll try to help locate them for you

Hi Shanko
Thanks for your offer to help - if I can ever help with any WA stuff let me know.
From what I've been told Ellen arrived in Australia via SA c1856 and was in SA for approx 1 year before going to NSW. Her parents were Bridget Callaghan and Thomas McManus and known siblings Hugh and Ann. Hugh came via NSW much later. I don't know if any family travelled with her.
I'm not so sure about George so don't worry about him - apparently there was a comprehensive obituary written about him and I've just ordered a copy from the NSW State Library. He may well have arrived at another port. I've checked the online ists available. The obit may give more info about hiis arrival etc so it is probably worth checking that first - he could have moved around a bit in 5 years. He was a fairly successful miner and lived at Wackey Valley SA when he married Ellen. Made enough money to buy a farm in what is now Young NSW though lost it in a drought.
Thanks heaps

Hi Shanko,
I'd absolutely love to have a couple of lookups done, if possible.
First is a marriage, of Alexander REID to Ann MATHESON in Adelaide in about 1853. According to Alexander's death cert, he arrived in SA from Scotland and then went to Victoria within a year. Ann arrived in Portland (Vic) in late 1853 and their first child was born in Vic (apparently) in 1855 so whether they actually were ever in SA together I'm not sure. I'm just going on what his death cert says. Also, the only Victorian record I can find that could be their first child (Annie Reid b 1855) has a father as Alexander CAMERON, so if you could maybe check for Annie's birth in SA instead of Vic, and also for a marriage between an Alexander Cameron and Ann Matheson. Sorry this one's so complicated!
Second is the marriage of Arthur Henry GIBBS to Amanda Hermine Augusta MESECKE on 9 Nov 1881 at the property of Johannes Mesecke (Amanda's father). I'm just interested in other details that may be on the record, such as parent's names and places of birth (particularly Arthur's).
Thanks in advance,
Kerryn :)

Hi Shanko,
Just wondering if you could do a couple of lookups of shipping records for me:
The people I am looking for are:
Nicholas De Garis, born Guernsey 16/08/1833
Mary Hamon nay De Garis born Guernsey 30/06/1835
Peter Hamon born Sark 1831
Julia De Garis born Guernsey 1837
and possibly
Georgina De Garis born Guernsey 1801
Nicoulas De Garis born ??
I know the first 4 definitely emigrated to Australia possibly direct from Guernsey, or maybe via England/France??
Basically I would like to know when/how they arrived in Australia and any other details available. So I guess the things to look up would be:
· Official passenger lists mainly of immigrants arriving in South Australia under United Kingdom assisted passage schemes 1847 - 1886
· Shipping - Hodge IndexPart 1: Arrivals 1837 - 1845
Part 3: Arrivals 1846 - 1855

If you could check this stuff for me it would be sensational!!!!

Hi ...need some help for a few lookups as you have an extensive library !
Have already done extensive research for the Spurling families that migrated in the 1850s.
(Q 1 ) However, havent been able to trace a
WILLIAM SPURLING born Banham , Norfolk abt 1842 or 1843
I know that at aged 10 years
Migrated to South Australia on ship "Shackamaxon" with Family (Parents William & Lucy and Siblings -
4 brothers including Robert, Joshua, Samuel & James).
Departed Liverpool, England 4th Oct 1852.
They arrived Port Adelaide, South Australia 19th Jan 1853.
Have managed to trace both Parents and all 4 brothers.
(Q2)
I understand that there are some Spurling's buried at West Terrace Cemetery. Wondering what records there are available. Believe one was buried in the destitutes section.
Believe this is the youngest sibling - but the record doesnt

Regarding Wackey Valley SA, where is that? I have checked at my local library and also state library and there is no mention of a place Wackey Valley here
Shanko
-
Hi Shanko
Sorry the spelling was incorrect Wakey not Wackey although I don't think it helps.
George and Ellen married at the Catholic Chapel in Mintaro in1857. George's "Residence at time of Marriage" was Wakey Valley and his occupation was "Farmer" He had also been a miner. One of the witnesses, George Harrop, was also a farmer from Wakey Valley. I thought that it was in the Clare district.
Googling Wakey Valley didn't turn up anything either- which is odd. I have the marriage cert and got the info from that. Mustn't have been very big :)
Thanks ciao Chris

Hi Shanko,
I'd absolutely love to have a couple of lookups done, if possible.
First is a marriage, of Alexander REID to Ann MATHESON in Adelaide in about 1853. According to Alexander's death cert, he arrived in SA from Scotland and then went to Victoria within a year. Ann arrived in Portland (Vic) in late 1853 and their first child was born in Vic (apparently) in 1855 so whether they actually were ever in SA together I'm not sure. I'm just going on what his death cert says. Also, the only Victorian record I can find that could be their first child (Annie Reid b 1855) has a father as Alexander CAMERON, so if you could maybe check for Annie's birth in SA instead of Vic, and also for a marriage between an Alexander Cameron and Ann Matheson. Sorry this one's so complicated!
Second is the marriage of Arthur Henry GIBBS to Amanda Hermine Augusta MESECKE on 9 Nov 1881 at the property of Johannes Mesecke (Amanda's father). I'm just interested in other details that may be on the record, such as parent's names and places of birth (particularly Arthur's).

Arthur Henry GIBBS 23 Single
Amanda Amener Augusta MESECKE 21 Single
Grooms father: Richard GIBBS
Brides father: John Charles August MESECKE
Marriage date: 9/11/1881

I did find a DeGaris family but they were not of the names you gave. No Hamon families what so ever Im afraid :(
Are you 100% sure they went to South Australia?
Shanko
Shanko,
Thanks for checking that for me. Yes I am 99% sure they all emigrated to South Australia, as there is death records of all but Julia in Adeliade, and it is also known that Julia married someone from Adelaide!
I actually just thought of another couple of things that would be great if you could look up for me:
Death record of Julia DE GARIS (or possibly KING) DOB 26/10/1837 in Guernsey
Marriage record of Julia DE GARIS to AARON KING (of Adelaide)
and this one is a bit of a long shot but:
Death record of Joseph Garibaldi MOLD born 1862 in Walsall, Staffordshire, UK.
He married Emily Helen HAMON on 23/1/1890 in Adelaide and left her shortly after their daughter was born in 1891. Apparently he was a gambler among other things, but no one knows what happened to him. Also if you can think of any other types of records I could search for him, could you please let me know?
Thanks very much, I know that might have been a big ask.

Thanks Shanko!
I think I may have found a matching census record in England for him, now that I know his father's name. That helps a lot.
Cheers,

Hello Shanko
Would it be possible to lookup two ship arrivals into South Australia.
(1) "OCEAN CHIEF" departed Plymouth and arrived in South Australia on 7th April 1864.
The passenger I wish to confirm on board this ship is:- BUSH John Ryder from Devon, England. (abt. 19 years old).
(If correct where can I purchase copy of Shipping Record).
(2) Do not know ship name they arrived on in South Australia, but I am looking for:
WILLIAMS Thomas and his wife WILLIAMS Mary Ann (nee Bishop). Possibly from Devon??. I believe time period of arrival would be between 1845-1848. Their first child born in SA was Nov 1848.
If impossible to check 2nd request I thank you for your time.
Cheers
Kabana
Hi Kabana
My trip today to State Records found no John Ryder BUSH on the ship 'Ocean Chief' for 1864.
I am heading back there next week so if you do have anything else to add about your guy please let me know and I'll check for you

Andy,
Today at State records I again searched for your De Garis family but still nothing at all in the shipping records. Just because they all died in South Australia does not mean they initially arrived in South Australia.
You might have to check with other states for their arrival into Australia.
RE: BDM's I'll check those out for you over the weekend.

I presume you didn't find Grasmere passenger list. If the McNicols aren't on this ship the time frame would be between 1849 and 1855 for searching. Thanks

There is no James McNicol at all on the Grasmere ship 1852.

Hi Shanko,
I am searching for the arrival in Australia of my great-grandfather, William Justin Beauchamp Cameron. Family records say that he arrived in Australia from Ireland as a fourteen year old boy. I am only aware of him living in Queensland, but have searched all eastern State indexes without success. However, his death certificate (for which the informant was his daughter) states that he had spent "70 years in South Australia and Queensland".
I am therefore wondering if he may have arrived in SA and worked there briefly before making his way to Queensland.
If you could check the arrivals information that you have for 1859 (and maybe a year or so either side), I would be extremely grateful!!
Thank you,
MarieC

Hi Shanko,
I am trying to trace ancestors of mine who went to Australia between 1903 and 1913. I'm not sure if they stayed or returned to the UK, but their daughter, DORY BACON, was born 1918, in Richmond, Victoria. They were,
FRANCES ERNEST BACON & ELIZABETH BACON ( nee HEADFORD ) both of Bridgwater Somerset. Any information
You could find would be very much appreciated.

I initially sent in a request on the 23 August this year trying the operative word is trying! to find a families arrival, I am researching this family on behalf of my grandchildren, their father a Gillard having passed away, in case the message was lost I will repeat it. Regarding a Samuel Gillard born 1822 and his wife Margaret born 1828 both in Cornwall. A child Ann was baptized 11 May 1846 in Cornwall, the next child Elizabeth was born in Adelaide 21 Jun 1848 another child John was also born in Adelaide 15 Jan 1852, the family then went to try their luck in the Victorian goldfields it seems without a lot of luck! I have yet to find their arrival in Australia, the birth of Elizabeth would suggest South Australia, I guess the surname could be slightly changed I have come across it as Gaillard in the registers in Cornwall, Any assistance or suggestions most gratefully received.

Dear Shanko
I have since found out that my ancestor, Charles Hill arrived in South Australia, Port Adelaide from England after 1854 so I was wondering if it is possible to check his shipping records. He arrived with his wife, Mary Ann Hill. His first son, Frederic was born in 1856 in South Australia.
Also, I wish to find out the shipping records for a John Davey who also came out to Australia from Cornwall after 1854. He came out with his wife, Elizabeth.
Thank you kindly.

Regarding my previous posts about James and Mary McNicol to South Australia. Today I received the birth certificate of their son, William Grasmere McNicol who was born "at sea" on 6 August 1852. The birth was registered on 6 October 1852 which I presume would have been around the time when the ship arrived in Port Adelaide. The name of the ship is written on the birth certificate but is almost unreadable, the last three letters appear to be ina.
I hope this will help to narrow the search down for you.
Thankyou

hi Shanko
I wonder if you would be able to do a look up for me.
Trying to find the arrival in South Australia of William WILLIAMS & his wife Emma Ann WILLIAMS.
They married 30 July 1883 in London and their first child Alice Ida WILLIAMS was born in Adelaide on 18 July 1884 at the time of the birth they were living at West Terrace. So they arrived sometime within that 12 month period?
Dont know if you have any departures? They did move from Adelaide to Victoria and Emma died April 1858 & is buried in Back Creek Cemetery Victoria, she had a child some 5 months before Maud Winifred WILLIAMS sometime after that William WILLIAMS went to NZ presumably with two children and maybe a new wife?
Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks
Fern

Sorry Shanko!! on my previous request I made a typo :( re William WILLIAMS They married in 1853 (not 1883) and Alice was born in Australia in 1854 (not 1884)

G'day Shanko,
I have ancestors (g-g-grandparents) William PAYNE (b. 1849) and Christina WARK (b. 1860), who made up a surname HAZLEMERE/HAZELMERE who married in 1882 in Sydney. The had a tiny old 'birthday motto book' which I inherited.
There is an entry in the Book 'left home for London and Australia July 31 1878' (I suspect this is Christina as it looks different to William's writing elsewhere in the book. On September 18 there are 2 entries - Landed in Adelaide 1878, married 1879).
Christina's first child Olive (who survived to marry and have 14 children) was born around 1882. Officially Christina married William 31/10/1882 at St Peters in Darlinghurst, Sydney.
Thus I am wondering which boats landed in Adelaide September 18 1878 and whether there was a William PAYNE (who I have some evidence was in Adelaide) or Christina WARK or HAZELEMERE on it, and a WARK or HAZELMERE in a marriage in 1879 (or birth of Olive in 1882 who is not registered in NSW where the family was by late 1882.
I greatly appreciate all help,
cheers

Sorry about this Shanko I must be doing something wrong, I checked from Go to Whoa on the South Australian Lookups and did not find the answer, I have had many contacts from Roots Chat on this subject but none appertaining to my query.
Thanks a lot for your efforts, as an aside if the query is finished does it ever get deleted? just curious.
Dennis
STOP PRESS, Regarding the Gillard Family I tried the site submitted on RootsChat by Spurling 1853 for the year 1847 the first ship was the ABOUKIR arriving Adelaide 4th September and among the passengers listed are Samuel, Margaret,Ann and a John Gillard, BINGO on the first three but John is a mystery at this time.
Thanks to All Dennis

For those tracing Families that migrated to South Australia
the below link is a good source of information.
It contains PASSENGER LISTS 1836-1851
The Author also has passenger lists for other years too.
http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/passengerlists/BoundForSouthAustralia.htm
-
The above website is good BUT there are errors which I have found myself when going through original shipping documents, also not all have names and some are also missing. I do not use this website reasons being of what I have mentioned above.
The later years have not even been started.
Like with any online Genealogy resources you must check the ORIGINAL records to make sure you do have the correct details and information.
Shanko
-
Good point Shanko
I'm one of the many who have naively trusted indexes only to find errors.
To save money I trusted an entry in the Vic BDM birth index and spent ages on a wild goose chase only to find that the father's first name and mother's last name had been incorrectly transcirbed.
Transcriptions will always have an error rate so the source docs are always the best option.
Bertoli

Bertoli
How true, which is why I'd prefer to check all shipping records with the actual originals at the main repository where they are held.
Many times you do not find a certain family, like I haven't been able to locate some here via the indexes.
People make money out of doing these transcriptions and selling on a cd but most are incorrect in the data so shouldn't be allowed to be sold to the public unless they have been done with 100% accuracy, as someone could be tracing a certain line for years!
Births, deaths and marriage cd's are also a good example, so many errors in names which are nothing like the original documents when you view them

Im glad you found them, BUT the name is not in the indexes which is why I could not find them. I do not go to the records place much these days to go through the original shipping records as it is getting expensive for travelling otherwise I would have gone there to check for you
As I mentioned previously though its always better to check the originals as names are transcribed incorrectly and also members of a family have been known to be missing.

The 'Ruby' arrived in SA on the 22nd March 1854

Dear Shanko
I have had a find today which ties a Scottish relation to Australia. It is a marriage:
Dumfries and Galloway Newspaper 26th October 1872
Marriage
On the 23rd instant by the Rev. J. Fraser MA in Colvend. James MURRAY Esq. Daylesford Victoria Australia to Margaret only daughter of Mr. & Mrs. CURRIE, Barcloy.
I have been unable to find the death of Margaret Murray or Currie here and I now wonder if they emigrated to Victoria. She was born circa 1830 in Dumfriesshire Scotland, daughter of John CURRIE and Catherine CROSBIE.
I wonder if you could possibly look up to see if she or her husband are in the S Australian Deaths Index 1842-1915?
Many thanks indeed

Hi Shanko,
I was wondering if you could help me with the arrival from UK to SA of my PLACE family?
I have Isaac PLACE bc 1805-1815 d. Naracoorte 15 Dec 1894 (would like to find out parents names or place of birth or year/ship arrival in Australia)
His wife Mary Ann PLACE (nee JORDISON) was b 1816 Co Durham ENG, d Mt Gambier 29 Oct 1868 parents names unknown
They had 3 sons all born Gateshead, Co Durham NE ENG,
Isaac bc 1835,
William bc 1837,
Thomas b 1842 and
maybe a 4th child Mary Ann b 1840.
I have found SA marriages and deaths for them but not how they arrived in Australia. There is no record of them arriving in Vic, NSW or Moreton Bay... On Isaac PLACE sn. death info on web it has Isaac Pierce PLACE as his name (not sure where the middle name Pierce comes from as I dont know where he was born or parents names only that 1841 census for Durham says he wasnt born in Durham) ???
I hear SA death certs have little info on them, is that true, is there anyway of seeing a certificate or whats on it without buying one??
Their son Isaac PLACE b. 1835 d. 1906 Port Augusta m. Maria MALONY (dont know if they had chn??)
2nd son, William PLACE resided at Blinman SA and married Angelina SLADE (chn - Eliza, Henry Thomas, William) d. Adelaide 1870,
3rd son, Thomas PLACE is our line so I know he raised a family at Millicent m. Eliza CORNELL then sister Sarah Cornell then d. Portland 1925
The daughter Mary Ann - unsure what happened to her....
Anything you could tell me particularly on the shipping info or parents names of Issac would be much appreciated as Im at a bit of a lost end... Merry Christmas Shanko
Kind Regards
Melanie

Sorry Shanko, I should have mentioned the period of possible arrival in SA The son Thomas was born March 1842 in Durham ENG then eldest son Isaac married 4 Feb 1860 at Res of Mr McClue [Culloch Glen], South Australia.
late 1842 - start of 1860 is a huge time period and Ive been searching what online passenger lists I can find and some SA microfiche at the Perth library with no luck... so if its too hard thats OK...

I hear SA death certs have little info on them, is that true, is there anyway of seeing a certificate or whats on it without buying one??
The original certificates can only be viewed at the individual districts. I can obtain those details if those districts are close to me. So as your deaths being in Pt Augusta there is not a chance I can help you there as that is hours away.

Hi Shanko. If you're still prepared to do some lookups, I'd be interested in any information about MILTE or STURTEVANT family members.
thanks,

Hi Alan,
I can't just do full blank searches, you will need to supply me with alot more details than just a name or two, for example: where they were born, where they lived, do you know for sure they were in South Australia. Dates are needed
Shanko

Hi,
As you are able to lookup South Australia births ,would you be able to check on my Grand Father who was born around 1868 in Port Adelaide,his name is William Joseph Lewis, his father was Henry Lewis and mother Elizabeth.his date of birth would be great.
thanks Dexter

Hi Dexter
There are 2 William Joseph's born in Port Adelaide;
one of them born 1866 the parents are William Henry LEWIS and Jessie BURGOYNE
and
the other born 1870 the parents are Thomas Dodding LEWIS and Eliza Mary TOOLE
If any of these are yours let me know and Ill post the details for you

Hi Shanko,
Thank you for looking for William Lewis, but they are not the right ones,if I find anymore information I will let you know.

Hi Shanko
Can you please have a look at the assisted immigrants to find a Christopher Howard and his wife Priscilla - probably from Northampton, would have arrived before 1853. If they were not yet married, Priscilla would have been travelling under her maiden name of Beeby. I would like to know which ship they arrived on.
Thankyou :)

His father Henry Levy Lewis was married in South Australia around 18/12/1862 to Elizabeth Giles (nee Jacka). Any details on the register would be great.
He was a Ships Captain .
Thank you Dexter.

Hi Shanko, Sorry about the delay I have been away for a week. Another genalogist told me that about SA death certs when she looked at a certificate in the Mt Gambier district for me which had little info on it.
I will just focus on the shipping info for the PLACE family arrival between 1848 and 1860. They had to get here somehow :-\
Cheers

Hi
Can I take advantage of your kind offer for look ups please?
I have a David Mackie born 1860 who left Scotland for Australia sometime between 1871 and 1881. I can find him on the 1871 census age 11, by age 21 he has gone. When in Scotland his name was David Michie Galloway but he was known as David Michie.
He reappears in Richmond Australia at the birth of a son (Jack Mackie) on circa 1896, Richmond. His wife' name was Kathleen Smith. I believe she died and he remarried around 1900. (They had two more children in Shepparton David and Carolyn)
Would it be possible for you to see if you could fill any details re this family. I am very interested in when David Mackie arrived in Australia, his death and details of his wife. I would love to fill in the 25 missing years of his life
Thank you very much

Hi,
Is the Richmond you mention in South Australia or Victoria? If it is Victoria where Shepparton is I cannot help you. If it is Richmond South Australia then please get back to me

Hi Shanko,
Thank you for looking, that extra information would be very helpful to add to the family tree,I was not sure if William Lewis had any brothers or sisters.
Thank you Dexter
-
Shanko, thank you for your reply. the trouble is I don't know but I believe it is Victoria. Thanks for the offer anyway

Hi Fife Fraser,
The city of Shepparton in Central Victoria has an historical society. There do not seem to be any cemetery records online for the district, but if Shepparton is where you last knew of the family, you could email some enquiries.
http://home.vicnet.net.au/~shepfh/
These societies often hold school records and electoral information.
Alternatively (or additionally) you could ask on the rootschat board if anyone lives there and may be able to help.

Thanks Sue, I have tried the NSW archives without success and am now in touch with a descendant in Australia who is having the same amount of luck as me.

Hi Shanko,
I've just discovered that three brothers of my g-grandmother seem to have gone to Sth Australia.
I can be quite precise about two of them. Henry H D Denham seems to have gone between his marriage in late 1869 and the English census in 1871. Digby Denham went in 1881. I know only that Edward Denham went during the 1870s.
If you can find any of these, I would be most grateful!
Thank you,

Hi Shako, I'm brand new in here and I hope I am not being presumptuous in asking for some help already.
If you are happy to will you look up somewhere for a John Joseph Brown? He would have been born about 1876 but not sure if it was in Australia or he travelled here. We think he was in the Mt Gambier area, He may have had a brother (twin even) named probably Edward, coz there was some reference to Ted. We know he married Sylvia Ethel Attrill born about 1886 and had lived in Milicent, travelled to WA and married our man in Dongarra Oct 4 1912. JJ Brown's death is known but alas not his beginning. JJ's Father was given as John Brown (deceased), Mother Emma Davies.
I would be most grateful if you could do this for me.
Cheers,
Darrell.
-
hello there
i had a look at the sa indexs but i could not find a john joseph brown with these details a couple of question .Is milicent in south australia where he maried and also you said he married " our man " in dongarra in 1912 where is dongarra
i will look at the victoria index
regards jenn
-
Hi Darrel,
Using these 2 sites, I have been able to conform the marriage in WA in 1912.
I have located Sylvia's interrment. She died in 1/5/1972 aged 86 in the suburb of Daglish
http://www.mcb.wa.gov.au/NameSearch/search.php
http://www.openwindows.com/marriage/search.htm
You can easily search and see this. There is a John Joseph Brown with an age of death that tallies with your 1876 birth date for him. He died in 1947 aged 71 in North Fremantle.
This man was Roman Catholic, as the details will show. Is this the information that you already have?
Sue
-
Hi Sue, Thank you so much. We were aware of the marriage and his Death but not his beginnings. He may have originated in another State before coming to WA He told no one including his wife where he came from.
By the way, I was unable to get a response from the marriage link. Reverse Marriage? Must be doing it wrong.
Cheers,
Darrell
-
Hi Jenn, Thank you so much. Millicent is in South Australia and is the town where his wife Sylvia Ethel Attrill was living before she Married John Joseph Brown in Dongarra West Australia in 1912.
You probably saw the message from Sue to meI am at awe with the happenings in this chat place. So good and helpful.
Cheers,
Darrell.
-
hi there Darrell
wityh the reverse marriage link try putting in the attrill name and it will then show the marriage this is a good site i found some of my edsalls with this tip
regards jenn
-
Hi Darrell,
Hope the link is going for you now.
just wondered, as you say you have some knowledge of the death of John Joseph. would you like to tell us about it. It may be that where he died, his denomination, or other information could lead to something such as the existence of Edward (eg buried in same vicinity) or to possible children of Sylvia and John Joseph ( again thir death interrment or even their names can give a lead)
Just a thought.
Sue
-
Hi there Darrell i take it you have sylvia attrill birth details
if not born 1886 in milicent to george attrill and Louisa Mary Chancellor do you need any siblings
regards jenn
-
hi there Darrell
just a very basic though do you have the wedding certificate at all?
regards jenn
-
Hi Jenn, Thanks. Have got copy of Marriage Cert. Says JJ Brown lived in Geraldton area at time of marriage Maybe we are barking up the wrong tree. He may not have been in South Australia, only his Brother. ???
Have got Sylvia's siblings thanks. It's just that nobody in the family has located JJ's appearance.
The marriage hookup won't work for me.
Cheers,
Darrell
-
Hi Sue, We know about JJ's death and I think his ashes were taken to the family area in Kendenup in South West Aust.
He always denied the existence of a brother. Some other family member travelled to South Australia and saw who they thought was JJ, but this fella Ted, we thinks, admitted to be JJ's brother.
The details about his wife and children are known.
Can you tell me if there is a link to find births in WA?
Cheers,
Darrell
-
hi there darrell
i am no good at copying links
but type in in search
births deaths and marriages wa
and it will give you the site on the first page there is a lot of detail but click on family history and it will give you the early indexs there are three john joseph birth listed
regards jenn
-
Hi again Darell,
I'm sending the 'reverse marriage' link again in case the fault is at this end.
http://www.openwindows.com/marriage/search.htm
I am starting to think(as you say) that given what Joey and you and I now know that the man was always in the West and only Sylvia came from SA
West. Aust has not much to offer in online family history search. This link may help, but the bmd's, as Joey says, are limited and you probably won't be easily able to get much after 1905.

Hi Sue, Thanks for that list of links. Looks like everything is in there. Got the marriage link going well thanks.
I'll keep searching, maybe something will fall into place.
Thanks again,

Hello,I am looking for a death of James Grimstead. He arrived in S.A. 1858 with his wife,Mary,and he died sometime between 1864 and 1871. The surname has a few variants.Thank you.

Hi Shanko :)
Thanks for your offer.
Death registration index 1842-1915.
I am looking for the deaths of Ada Williams b2-12-1878 at Crafers and Francis Richard Williams b2-01-1886 at Stirling East, father John and mother Fanny Jane.
They would have died between their birth dates and 1889 as the family was in NSW by then and two children died in Broken Hill in 1889 and have found no record of Ada and Francis in NSW or West Aust.

Hi Shanko,
I have been looking for my grandmother, ETHEL UGUNHART, for a long time. The surname has been spelt in a variety of ways. Supposedly born around the Pt Augusta area but after 2 attempts at a birth cert the surname is not in the registry for births. I was wondering if you are able to do a search for the first name only 1884 to 1888. Father is supposedly George William, miner. Have searched NSW, Vic & SA for anything for UGUNHART but nothing. Thought to be scottish & I thought just HART might be a possibility. I appreciate your help.

hi shanko just wondering if you could look up jenny kerr who went to adelade from glasgow 1920_30.believe married a joe kerr and lived in teacle st adelade. any info much appreciated. thanks dolly.

Hello Shanko
I have another mystery man , a grand uncle Samuel Russell born in Northern Ireland (probably in Larne,Co Antrim) around 1863 and who migrated to Adelaide on the "Merkana"arriving 18 November 1884. His ultimate destination in Australia is unknown. However he came to South Africa in time to succumb to the Black Flu in 1918 after having abandoned his unfortunate wife on the grounds that he was drunk when he agreed to marry. (This may have been sometime just before his arrival in Cape Town)
Could you please look if he married in South Australia?
It is a long shot I know.
Many thanks.
-
Hi Shanko,
I appreciate that you must be very busy but I feel the need to kill off some relatives. But first, some history....
In 1838 Francis Finey carted his wife Maria and his entire brood of kids across from England to Adelaide on the "Lloyds". Various manifests claim the following family members landed:
FINEY Francis - b.1834 in Pagham, Sussex. Labourer and fisherman.
Maria - wife of Francis
John - b.1821
Catherine/Katherine - b.1823
Jane - b.1826
Robert - b.1830
Stephen - b.1834
Maria - b.1836
Edward - b. 1838 on board ship. Given the middle name 'Lloyds'
plus James - b.1847 (bit of an afterthought)
The family settled in Brighton, South Australia and proceeded to marry, die, move, etc. As they were there for some time (bar the odd one wandering off) they became a large family.
Please I need your help to track down those who died and were buried in the Brighton area so I can complete my information. I know some marriages were at St Judes in Brighton and I'm hoping some are buried there. They may be buried at other cemeteries that are around Brighton but the family definitely lived in Brighton creating a mini empire of a clan. I know that all of the Finey's are mine but St Jude's information is not online.
I also know that Catherine Finey married a Joseph Lidiard (sp) and at least had a daughter called Maria. Jane married George Bament. Stephen married Emily Oates and had nine kids all in Brighton. Edward moved to WA. James died at Maclaren Vale in SA but I don't know where he is buried.
That is the bare minimum on the family. I'm very interested on what the cemetery indexes may say. I'm looking for anything that may help me with more complete dates of birth or place of burial.
Sorry to rabbit on a bit (but you'll see that's in my name).
Thanks so very much.

Good morning Shanko. Many thanks for your kind offer. Wondered if you could have a look at Shipping - Hodge Index Parts 3 and 5. I'm looking for the arrival of Francis Raymond and his possible wife Eliza (if not wife then she will be called Eliza Yelland). They would have arrived from Devon in the mid to late 1850s.
I appreciate how busy you must be, but any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Linda in Murton (a freezing Co. Durham England)

Thank you for your offer to look up things. I am interested in Edward Mellish (british) who married Ellen Burrows (Irish) who was in the Geelong, Victoria Area around 1855-60 They got married in Victoria.
They had a son Thomas Cotton Mellish born 1857, a daugther Ellen born/died 1858.
Any information would be useful, Think Edward was in finance, possibly with Union Bank.
Looking for passenger lists for arrival and departure of family from Australia. Also addresses or business details etc

You seem as though you are kept quite busy, but if you can find the time could you please try and track down my paternal grandfather's details..JAMES JOSEPH McNALLY,. Unfortunately i have no D.O.B. or D.O.D. details, but he married my paternal grandmother Alice May Richardson on 10/11/1919. I figure this may have been a marriage of convenience only as my father was born 24/11/1919. I have absolutely no recollection of him at all, but if you would like a time frame to work on , Alice may was born 10/11/1900..if any more help my father's name was James Dominic..............
Appreciate any little titbits you may be able to come up with

boydi,
UGUNHART
Yes I agree boydi this one os a shocker. I have tried everything I can think of and cant find her. The only occurance of the name in the SA BMD's is Ethels marriage
Taken from SA BMD indexes
William Moss 26 Single (Father Joseph Robert)=Ethel Ugunhart 24 Single (Father George William) Methodist Church Ardrossan Dist Dal 234 704 on the 25 Aug 1908
I Tried looking for their children in the hope I would get a clue of the name but alas all but one list her name as Ugunhart
All born Ardrossan Dist Dal
MOSS Robert William 15 Nov 1910 (854 216) This one lists mother Ethel Equinhart)
MOSS Thelma Elma 18 Mar 1914 (934 29)
MOSS Harold Edward 15 Oct 1916 (988 248) (Also see Dayla Harold Edward- dont know what that means but the other entry lists same parents names
MOSS Gordon William 22 Feb 1922 (91a 461)
MOSS Lester Lawrence 12 Oct 1924 (143a 541)
Now I have tried everything I can think of. I looked right through the U's ...tried Hart and every possible I could think of looking for anything similar and there are URQUHARTS (Scottish Name) in SA so thought I was onto something but alas no Ethel and no births in Pt Augusta and no Father George....I did however find this marriage entry
URQUHART George 30 Single (Father Daniel Urquhart)=Annie Owen 21 Years Single (Father John Owen) Wesleyan Parsonage Pt Augusta Dist Fro 131 608 on the 10 May 1882
Good Luck.......Kris :D

This topic has now been locked.
It was started by Shanko with her offer to do Lookups in South Australia and has now become very cumbersome.
Rather than just adding to this thread, please start a new topic with your individual lookup requests.
Thanks :)

Hi all
As Bob has said, the number of requests on this topic is enormous. Shanko and others have done their best to answer them all....bravo :)
The topic is locked for now, and we request that you begin a New Topic instead of posting to this one.
If your query was not answered, please place a new one directly to the main board. This way, no one will be missed.
Thank you for your understanding.
