Hello Fizzy,
Elizabeth Raglan b 18 Oct 1854 on ship Lord Raglan. d May 1855, Burra.
Alfred b 16 Aug 1857, Kadina. d 24 Feb 1922.
Louisa b 18 Dec 1859 Kadina
Elizabeth Jane b 21 Aug 1862 Kadina. d 4 Sep 1862.
Once I have established their parents lineage I will visit the BMDs again.

Ther is another Alfred Snell b 1860 parents John Snell and Sarah Elizabeth Miller. Some trees I believe wrongly attribute Arthur ,1860, with John Snell and Elizabeth Best.

Hello Fizzybubble,
One thing still puzzles me about Elizabeth - her birth date. The South Australian Biographical Index shows her born 21 Apr 1830 (see attachment).
I have found an Elizabeth Best born 1830 Cuby with Tregony, parents Richard and Mary.(LDS)

Thanks Alan. I will folow up on your information. The next step may have to be a copy of the marriage certificate.

Australia / Re: Snell & Miller South Australia

Hello Jeenie,
I am starting to research the Snell family (my wifes ancestors) in Australia. Particularly interested in family of Edwin Saunders Snell. I have a quote from Child of the Outback by Lucy Christina that mentions a William W Snell that described Edwin as his Grandson see the attached link -

http://genetracer.net/getperson.php?personID=I296&tree=tree01&sid=a46d3edcaaba3edb6322b019a9f7cad9

The lineage I am tracing is that of John Snell and Sarah Elizabeth Miller and their many children. There was also a menton on Ancestry of a John Buckingham Snell. The same person? This Snell family is certainly hard to pin down previous to their arrival in South Australia.
Any help pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.
Regards Wayne.

Hello,
I am Hannah Grace Butlers GGgrandson. I have a copy of her marraige certificate which indicates her marraige to Abram FRASER 6 Oct 1881 in Victoria Australia. Some research from Jersey has her "born 10:15 pm 19th Feb 1862 at No. 10 Pier St. St Hellier. Father given as James BUTLER and recorded as a pensioned of soldier of the British army. His wife was Ellen DUFF. No mention of his birthplace or occupation. This is the only mention of the family in records on Jersey with no mention in Jersey census of 1861 0r 1871".
Search of 1861 census gets a James and Ellen Butler located at Winchester Barracks I dont know yet if this is Hannahs parents.
Hope this helps.
