Hi. Just got your msg.  I will check my records tomorrow and let you know what I have . I am in Queensland Australia and it's late at the moment, so I thought I should check where you are from before calling. Do you have an email address? That way I can just send you information.

All the best

Australia / MOORE SYKES WADE Family South Australia
« on: Friday 24 December 10 01:06 GMT (UK)  »
Hello and merry Christmas

I am looking for any information on the Moore family in South Australia, Australia
John Moore born abt 1823 married Mary Ann Sykes born about 1831
Marriage information or their parents as I have hit a brick wall. They were in South Australia by 1853 as their daughter Mary Jane was born in Kensington.

The main person of interest is their son John (Bob) Robinson Moore who was born in south Australia 13 Mar 1860. He married a Susan Wade in 23 Sep 1881.

Also after any information on Susan Wade born about 1858 (marriage records in 1881 has her as 23)  father is Thomas Wade. Could be a mistake as she was known in the family as a run away from home.

Thank you and merry merry Christmas to all
Kristy

Can anyone tell me if a person who was born in Bombay India 1894 to English parents would have to get Australian Naturalization. Or how to get birth records of this person. Already tried fibis, ancesty, and findmypast, shiplist. Also having trouble finding this person on shipping records.
I have the following marriage certificates
Bernard James Engel b. 1894 Bombay India married Dorothea Vick 1914 South Australia, father Henry Michael Engel, born at sea in abt 1864 mother Edith Shenton Freeman b. 1863 India
Thank you for your time and consideration

Hi to all you Fairy hand writting experts. I have an 1800's Will in English that I am having trouble reading. If any one could wave their magic wand and translate it you would be giving me a wonderful early Christmas Presi that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and consideration
Merry Xmas
Kristy :-*

P.S. If you could either give me an email address or let me know of another way I can show the Will as rootschat won't let me attach it :-[

Thank you for looking for me. I will follow up the Victorian link. Maybe they moved to South Australia? Is there any where that recorded families moving from State to State? I have a death notice for Edith Shenton Engel with her husband stated as Henry Michael and all the grandchildren are listed. My mistake was thinking Shenton was her maiden name so you have given me more to consider.
Thank you and have a lovely christmas ;D

Family History Beginners Board / Engel from India to Australia
« on: Thursday 02 December 10 01:56 GMT (UK)  »
Stuck...Can anyone help in anyway....Researching Bernard James ENGEL b. abt 1893 married Dorothea Annie VICK 3 Aug 1914 Adelaide.
I believe his parents could be Harry (Henry) Michael ENGEL d.29 Aug 1943 Sefton Pk, SA and Edith SHENTON d. 30 Aug 1932 Sefton Pk, SA. This is only from a newspaper source can't seem to locate Birth details for Bernard on Digger.
Family ledgend is that Bernards father and mother came to Australia from India. His father sent his boys abroad and some went to America. Legend is also that he was Jewish and married a christian Indian.
Does anyone know how to get information about ship arrivals from India? been trying all the German and English passenger lists. Or births in india. Thank you :-\
