World War One / Lawrence Sheehan - Wireless Operator on HMAT Karoola
« on: Tuesday 04 April 17 10:26 BST (UK)  »
Lawrence was born in Smeaton Victoria in 1888 and worked as a telegraph operator at Ballarat West.   During WW1, he worked as a wireless operator on HMAT Karoola.   He died in 1949.   Even varying the spelling of his Christian name and surname, I have not been able to identify an appropriate record at either the Australian War Memorial or the National Archives.   I presume that as a crew member of a transport ship, he did not have to enlist and there are no embarkation details for him.   Would appreciate any suggestions as to where to look for further information.   ???

Cornwall / Ethel Tremain Rickard b c1880 at St. Columb Minor
« on: Saturday 09 May 15 08:06 BST (UK)  »
Ethel may have married around 1902 but I have been staring at records on the computer for too long and can't think straight.   Can someone please confirm her marriage and to whom before I fall off this chair from a lack of sleep.   Thanking you in anticipation.

Cornwall / Unexplained disappearance of William Rickard b1834
« on: Friday 06 March 15 04:57 GMT (UK)  »
According to the 1841 UK Census, William and his parents were resident of Cross Poor House in the Civil Parish of St. Stephens in Brannel Cornwall.   William seems to reappear on the 1881 census living at Treviscoe Downs in the Ecclesiastical Parish of St. Stephens in Brannel.  Even searching outside of Cornwall, it would appear as though the family disappeared from the UK.   I would welcome any suggestions as to where to look next.   Thank you in anticipation.

Cornwall / Ann Rickard (nee Irons) born c1876
« on: Tuesday 03 March 15 04:54 GMT (UK)  »
The only information I have been able to find is "she married Orlando Rickard in the June quarter 1894 at St. Columb Minor Cornwall."    I presume I am looking in the wrong haystack again.   Would like her birth/christening details please.

Suffolk Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Robert PLANT b 1 September 1766
« on: Monday 20 October 14 04:05 BST (UK)  »
Greetings Steve  :D
 Thank you for the information On Robert and his possible sister Sarah.   I am unfamiliar with Norfolk and Suffolk so I need to rely upon people who live or have a good knowledge of these places.   I am at home in Cornwall having visited a number of times but Norfolk and Suffolk have eluded me in my travels.   Except for trying to track down the origins of the "Plant" name, I have not really looked at this side of the family in recent years but thank you for the clues which may now advance my look for further ancestors.
regards and thanks
