Antrim / Re: Thomas MULHOLLAND
« on: Sunday 26 February 12 23:40 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
Many thanks for the information, I was unaware of the existence of Isabella so I will add her to the family.
As I am in Australia it is very difficult to research so I wonder if I could ask another favour with regard to my 2xgreat grandmother Anna Maria McNally(sic). I have found a record of her arrival in South Australia in 1855, the passenger list gives or origin as Antrim. I believe she was born about 1835 (from death certificate) however, her marriage certificate records her age as 25 which would make her birth 1839. She married in November 1864 and could have lied about her age!
The marriage certificate records her father's name as Dermot McNally and try as I might I cannot find Dermot McNally with any dates which would give me an indication he may be her father.
Regards and thanks
Oswald

Antrim / Thomas MULHOLLAND
« on: Sunday 26 February 12 02:14 GMT (UK) »
I am researching the family of a Thomas Mulholland who was born c.1821 in Belfast, Antrim. He married Frances MONTGOMERY in 1855 in Belfast. They had a son Thomas Johnstone MULHOLLAND and a daughter Sarah MULHOLLAND that I know of.
Does anyone have any further information about this family such as the date of death of Thomas and/or Frances MULHOLLAND? I've not done any Irish genealogy up until now and I feel I am going in circles and not getting anywhere!! Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi Anne,
Many thanks for your help, I am sure the Robert Young you found is the one I am looking for so that is great. Unfortunately I have been unable to find a record of his death in Parish Records. I will have to keep looking for his wife but thanks for checking.

Hi,
I hope I am doing this the correct way as I was unsure what to do really. Please, is anyone able to help me find the burial place of a Robert Young who died in 1838, he lived at Denny Loanhead. His wife was Jane and she died some years after him, I am hoping they are buried together as I don't know her date of death. Any help greatly appreciated.

I'm hoping the Charles James SMITH b: 1861 St Olave, Southwark, Surrey son of James and Sarah, may be the man I am looking for. The Charles I am looking for married Albertina Britcliffe in 1895 in London City, any connection?

London and Middlesex / Re: Jewish Family History
« on: Thursday 06 May 10 11:36 BST (UK) »Hello Ozzie and Jan,
Ozzie - do you have any independent evidence to show that Asher (b. 1837) was Isaiah's brother?
Hi Justin,
The only evidence I have is Isaiah's death certificate and Asher's birth certificate both state their parents were Abraham Benjamin and Sarah Joseph. Unfortunately Isaiah was born before civil registration.
There is also oral history, a relative still living, had a lot of contact when young, with Asher's son Isaiah who often spoke of his uncle Izzy and stories Isaiah shared with him about his uncle and father.

Hello Jan,
Asher and his family lived in NZ between 1863 and 1873, 7 of their eight children were born there, the eldest was born in Melbourne.

« on: Wednesday 05 May 10 11:14 BST (UK) »Hello Ozzie
(Real name or where you live?)
I have Isaiah and Elizabeth's 2 eldest children being born in Shadwell, Phillip Harris Benjamin in 1850 and Sarah Benjamin in 1852. The family emigrated in Dec 1853. I have them as having 11 children altogether, one being still born.
Do you happen to know if Abraham married twice?
Would you be interested in sharing your info about Asher, and do you have birth and death dates and any other info Abraham and Sarah?
Regards
Jan
Hi Jan,
I believe Abraham did marry twice, I have a record of him marrying Leah Joseph in 1838 and the death of Sarah in 1838 is something I still have to pursue. Details of Abraham and Sarah are something, I will chase up sometime this year. Unfortunately I no longer have my Jewish distant relative to help me so I am struggling to wade through the paperwork she left me. Suffice to say Isaiah and Asher have the same parents at the same address so I have no doubt they are brothers, oral history also confirms this fact.
I did have Phillip Harris and Sarah Benjamin in my database for Isaiah and Elizabeth when I checked this morning, I did a quick mental head count last night before I contacted you, I don't have a record of a stillborn child though. Two of the Australian born children died young - Nathaniel aged 1yr and Marcus 2 months of age.
Asher first came to Australia at age 19 and his occupation was "traveller". The Benjamin family set up businesses in New Zealand at some stage and Asher travelled between Melbourne and NZ frequently. He and his wife lived in NZ for a period of time but I cannot remember how long at this point in time.
I know there was a Benjamin Bros. newsagency in Victoria, can't remember the address but it is on a piece of paper in my file. Will let you know when I find it.
Hope this is of some help to you, I will start going through my paperwork to see what else I have hidden away.
Ozzie
