Title: South Australian lookup offers
Post by: Shanko on Wednesday 01 June 05 16:16 BST (UK)
I have access to all of the below if anyone needs help to find ancestors within South Australia. If you want a lookup done please include as much info as possible and also the area which you wish a lookup to be done. Example: Inquests 1877 - 1899

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 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

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

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

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
Troods

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 :)

I did find, which youn probably have already got Eliza Plummers birth
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

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.

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
*A Free Passage to Paradise: Passenger lists of United Kingdom *Emigrants to South Australia 1836 - 1840
*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.

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

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.

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,

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Heidi

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.

Hi Kabana,

Ok some details for you:

I could not find marriage or death for either as yet but will look again for you next week, but I did find this bit of information for you incase you didn't have it:
William Swaby OXLEY - born 29/9/1858 his second name is spelt Sivaby
Harriet Ann OXLEY - born 19/7/1863

Parents details:
John OXLEY 48 married Sarah HAMS 42 at St Pauls Church, Adelaide 6/5/1869. Johns father is John OXLEY. Sarah's father is William HAMS.

John OXLEY died 26/7/1895 aged 78 district of Adelaide
Sarah Ann OXLEY (Nee: HAMS) died 7/7/1886 aged 59 district of Port Adelaide.

I have checked the larger cemetery databases and have not been able to locate them. BUT if you want any details on the death certificates let me know as I will contact a friend who will look for them and hopefully get those for me but it may be about 2 weeks before I get those details

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

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.

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?

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
Chris

Title: Re: South Australian lookup offers
Post by: Kezlyn on Thursday 20 October 05 16:26 BST (UK)
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 :)

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
Part 5: Arrivals 1856 - 1859 November



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



Thanks very much,

Andy  :D

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
show place of death or burial (could it be West Terrace Cemetery? )

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

Shanko
 ;D

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
Chris

Chris,
I haven't located Ellen as yet but Im checking further for you this week.
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

Post by: bertoli22 on Sunday 23 October 05 12:01 BST (UK)
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).

Thanks in advance,

Kerryn :)

Hi Kerryn

There are no births for an Annie REID 1855, none with a father Alexander and none before 1864.
Cannot find the marriage either for Alexander REID and Ann MATHESON.

However, The GIBBS one I did find:
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
Place: Residence of John Charles August MESECKE
District: Adelaide

Hope this helps

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.

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.

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,

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.

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.

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

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

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.
Thank you Dennis
Dennis,

If you remember I did reply stating I found no Gillard family at all in any of the available shipping indexes. I don't know what else you want me to do, I have double checked twice but no family of that surname is on the indexes.

Shanko
 ;D


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.

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.

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.

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

 G'day Shanko,
(sorry for posting this twice but I think it got buried among 4 requests or so)

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

Dennis,
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.

Could you look in Inquests 1900-1945 for anything on the death of Barton Balfour FELTUS who died 15th Jan 1911 in Spring Hill Settlement (near Meningie),SA. Family say he drowned in a well -dont know if this is correct.

Hello there,
I'm after information on a ship called the "Ruby" which arrived in Adelaide in 1854. In particular one of the crew William Augustus SIMMONS, who was a teenager at the time and supposedly "jumped ship".

Cheers,
Daniel
Perth, WA
Daniel,
I did locate your guy in the SA Deserters Registers

Name: Simmonds William
Designation: Apprentice
Deserted: May 1854
Ship: 'Ruby'
Master (Captain): Turner
The 'Ruby' arrived in SA on the 22nd March 1854

There is no other details on the registers but there could be more details of him in the Archives.

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

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...

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
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

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.

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!

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.

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?

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.

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 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.
Regards
EddieW

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.

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.

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

Post by: krisesjoint on Monday 06 March 06 04:45 GMT (UK)
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  :)

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.
