Thank you so much for all that information! Who knew from Ballarat to London in one short day! :)

Thank you for such a wonderful Christmas present :) This information is so valuable, it's lovely to have someone with experience - I have decided half the battle is knowing where to go next (and having access to it!!!)

Ooh thanks :)

She was married previously to Joseph Scales - I got that from her daughter Annie's marriage entry. It's been a journey to get there since Annie married as a Scales but on *her* daughter's marriage certificate is Bowman. It was all cleared up when I saw Annie's marriage which lists Jemima Bowman, formerly Scales, as her mother. Never mind that Annie's three children have their mother's maiden name listed as Sclaes!

Interestingly they were living at the same address as when Annie got married.

I'm stuck because a) marriage certificates say born x place in Australia and yet no such record can be found in the bdm and b) it's the point where they all came form somewhere else. I'm waiting on certificates for people who moved into NSW to find out where they came from. I can't get images online like for the Victorian bdm. Still it'd be nice if I could figure out how Jemima and Jonathon got to Australia. They married here, but I can't work out where either of them came from. I may have to purchase another image.

Thanks so much for your help. :)

I've run into a brick wall but it seems Jemima Bowman died at Ballarat. She was married to a bloke called Jonathon. Other family names I am looking for that seem to have been at one time in Ballarat are Curran and Scales. Rumour has it they were Roman Catholic. If you've seen any of them I'd love the details :)
