Australia / Re: BUCKTON families in Queensland
« on: Thursday 14 November 13 09:39 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks for details submitted earlier. Since then I have made contact with three different Bucktons in Queensland and now have a steadily growing family Tree! They are of course distant, in more ways than one, and there are still many families where I only have scant information, but its great that through Search websites, I have been able to increase my knowledge. Thanks again.

Australia / BUCKTON families in Queensland
« on: Friday 18 February 11 08:15 GMT (UK)  »
Trying to trace more details of the family of John William Buckton who emigrated to Queensland in 1910 with wife Sarah. At least 10 children known - Reginald, Mavis, Dorothy, Lilian, Ethel, Thomas Henry, Arthur George, William, Ailsa Heather and George but no birthdates or marriage details. Names of their families also known but no spouse names or dates. Can anyone help or point me in right direction?

Hi there
Many thanks - checked out the Irishgenealogy free site and came up with highly likely marriage of John Hayes and Johanna Mulvihill in 1854. The date is about right for their first child in 1855.

Ireland / Re: Hayes family - Ireland and Brighton

Many thanks for the two replies. I will follow up the websites mentioned. I also have Hurley in Irish connections as well as Hayes in my wife's line and even when moving to England I have found omissions. As far as I can tell they were Roman Catholic. Maybe I'll have a closer look at earlier Censuses but at least one I checked just had born Ireland which isn't too helpful!

Ireland / Hayes family - Ireland and Brighton
« on: Tuesday 09 February 10 14:40 GMT (UK)  »
My connection is with Mary Hayes b 1861 in Brighton. Her father was John Hayes b Ireland sources range 1831-1835. Her mother Johanna born Ireland. Can't trace marriage details, possibly Ireland but all children from 1855 born in Brighton. Would love to trace missing details of Mary's parents and marriage.
In 1881 Census there is another Hayes family also living in Brighton. Cornelius Hayes b 1843 Cork. Again missing details on wife's name and origins in Ireland. Could even be a brother of John mentioned above or just a coincidence they both settled in Brighton? Free websites and Ancestry website seem to have many details missing from early researches. If no-one can help specifically, can anyone suggest a source to obtain Irish family information?

Hi Jan and Ermy
Thanks and yes I had got that far but 1901 Census wasn't very readable. I thought it might be Eve or Eva but still had difficulty confirming birth or marriage of George even with different spellings. I guess I'll have to send for Edith May's birth certificate.
