Hi

A couple of Death Notices in TROVE Newspapers

https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/result?l-state=South+Australia&q=%22William+Richard+HARVEY%22

Cass

Many thanks, Cass!  I hadn't seen those!  Good news and bad news, I suppose ... that certainly looks like my William, but no mention of a spouse would imply that my search for any spouse or descendants of his is about to come to an end.

Regards,
Phil

National Archives of Australia online index has a William R HARVEY as passenger from London on the Osterley, at first port of entry as Fremantle WA 16 March 1912.

Also on same voyage to Australia :  Horace C HARVEY  :)



JM

And thanks again!  If it wasn't for his brother Horace showing up in the passenger list — although his middle initial "E" was typed wrongly — I might have ignored that one.  I'm not sure why they called themselves "clerks"; William, at least, was a labourer.  Maybe they thought that "white-collar workers" had a better chance of getting into the country.  I know that Horace ended up back in the UK but I haven't found a passenger list showing his return.

Regards,
Phil

Here is link to his 24 page WWI service records : http://soda.naa.gov.au/record/4738853/1

Thanks, JM.  I had actually found his service records.  It was his mother's name in there as next of kin that convinced me that I had the right William.  I appreciate these quick responses!  (Humourously, the RootsChat window told me that your reply was posted the day before I put up my post!)

Australia / William Richard HARVEY (1887-1941) in Adelaide, SA
« on: Thursday 30 August 18 22:52 BST (UK)  »
I'm looking for spouses and descendants of my great uncle, William Richard HARVEY, b.1887 Q1 London, England.
Parents: Alfred William HARVEY (1852-1897) & Eliza Annie Paine (1854-1934). Annie re-married (John King) in 1904.
William emigrated to Australia between 1911 and 1917. (prob'y 1912)
He enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force, Feb 1917 (Pte., #3659) in Adelaide, SA.
When enlisting, he stated that his will was being held by a Janet Petrie, on Market St. in Adelaide.
He was discharged Apr 1920.
He died 7 Jun 1941, Adelaide.  Military marker in West Terrace cemetery.
Marital status unknown.  (Not married while in the army.)
Anything at all about William's life in Australia would be much appreciated.

I didn't put much hope in the Bishopstoke baptism ... perhaps I haven't put enough effort into it.

While there was one Elizabeth Waller baptised at the Gosport High Street Chapel (along with a pack of siblings) she was not the only one in the area.

I keep finding just enough to muddy the waters but not enough to clear them again.

No sure birth OR death information for Edward, I'm afraid ... he has been rather obstinate, that way.  There are some burials and deaths in the London area within a reasonable time frame, but nothing that quite sounds right.  New material shows up now and then, though, so I'll keep watching.

Thanks, Shirl.

Yes, the mariner angle and the possibility that his was one of the London baptisms have occurred to me, but I haven't been able to forge a link.  Other than the location (Portsmouth,) I have nothing that implies a seafaring career.  There was an Edward baptised in 1764, at Bishopstoke, as I recall, a couple of miles north of the port ... but no real link.

If the two Edwards born in the Portsmouth area were theirs, it would strengthen the theory that my 5ggf was born to one of the London Edwards.  I've been hoping that daughter Caroline's name might yield a clue, but no luck so far.

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Edward VAUGHAN m. Elizabeth Carter WALLER
« on: Tuesday 12 November 13 00:53 GMT (UK)  »
My 5x-grt-grandfather, Edward VAUGHAN  m. Elizabeth Carter WALLER,  2 May 1782 in Portsmouth St Thomas, HAM.
The licence stated "Edward Vaughan of Alverstoke".
It's quite likely that they had at least one child named Edward in the area within the next 2 years, one of whom died within a month.
By 1790, they were having children in Whitechapel, London.

BUT Edward is my brick wall.  I cannot find anything about him earlier than the marriage.  Are there any overlapping histories out there?

Thanks from Canada,
Phil Vaughan

Having got my copy of the SSX Marr. Index and followed the leads from the two of you, I'd say I can close this particular query, now.
 
Many thanks for your help, omega and poppyann!
