John Moore Edmondson was born in North Hadrian Wall , England in c 1861 . He died in Ravenswood Australia on the 22nd of February 1894 at the age of 33.
John was the first husband of Charlotte Louisa Abercrombie [1857- 1898 ] , my great - grandmother . I am currently writing an account of her life .
I would appreciate any information regarding the timing of John's departure for Australia . Specifically , I am looking to establish when John arrived in Brisbane , Australia .
I would also appreciate any information on John's early life in England .
Thank You

Hello Jamjar, Thank you for your very comprehensive research and reply . In reply...
# I have been unable to establish a marriage date for John Moore Edmondson and Charlotte Abercrombie . However they had ,in total , six children born between May 1881 and October 1891 . [Two of these children died in their first year ] The first three children were registered with the surname Abercrombie , the remaining three were registered with the surname Edmondson . This could indicate that some time between April 1885 and August 1887 , ie between the births of the third and fourth children , John and Charlotte entered into a formal religious or civil marriage. However no documentation has been found .
# I am especially interested in the John Moore Edmondson ... who also had a father called John Moore Edmondson .. who you mentioned in your first posting . The date of death is correct . Is there any further information on him ? And is there any indication if the person charged with theft from the Supreme Court was the Father or Son ?
# My wife who assists me with research , had located the John Edmondstone [sic ] who arrived on the Earl Granville in 1883 . However , if he is the John Moore Edmondson , he could not have fathered Charlotte's first two children ... the first of whom was my grandmother ! The family memories and records all insist that John Moore was the father of all six children .
My wife has also commented that there are multitudes of "John Edmondsons " in Australia at that time . There would ,of course , be fewer John Moore Edmondsons" So I would really like to pursue the leads on the two John Moore Edmondsons who you have located .
My wife also believes that the John Moore Edmondson [son ] may well have been born in Australia , and so the English Birthplace of North Hadrian Wall is misplaced .
cheers ... Charlottesggs

I will attempt to attach a photo of John Moore Edmondson . First Attempt ... so not sure of procedure .

Hello , I am seeking to re-activate this topic . I am currently revising my earlier draft of this Family History and would like to clarify some matters regarding John Moore Edmondson .
I believe that John was the biological father of my grandmother Elizabeth Alice Abercrombie .
I believe that John entered into a relationship with Charlotte Louisa Abercrombie around August 1880 in Brisbane , Queensland .
I am looking for documentary evidence that John was in Brisbane at that date .
JamJar has found evidence that he was in Brisbane by 1881 . Is there any evidence of an earlier date?
I am also looking for any information regarding John's arrival in Australia . [ In his Death Certificate ,his wife Charlotte suggests he arrived in Sydney in mid 1890 ] .
Thank You ... Ron Nuttall
