Armagh / Re: Jane JOHNSTONE. Any siblings
« on: Today at 06:50 »
Hello rathmore.

Jane JOHNSTON was 18 years when she arrived in Australia.
It is entirely possible that the names you have located on the Valuation Books are those of relatives of Jane JOHNSTON and of William BENNETT.

I just don't know ;D
Thank you for your exploring.

Thanks for that information from the marriage.
It certainly is the right couple and the William BENNETT (Edit) JOHNSTON might be Jane's father.
Big help.

rathmore, No it is not my site, but it is the right family.
Yes Rose was born on the ship to Australia

I would like to note that I believe the name Phillip seen 3 times in Ernie's paperwork is significant in some way.

And would like to add of possible interest, (but posssibly not  ;D)there were a small number of people in the Sydney are in the late 1890's and onwards with the surname PHILLIP. No "S" ending.

Hi lyp24.
It would be a big help to know the source of your information.

Also perhaps his parents.

Is there a document that you got the station names from?

An expanded version of the item posted by Neale earlier.  Quite a nice and interesting read.

It has a picture of the Herbert Troupe. 1905.

Hi.
Yes half-caste.
Yes, I would agree about Fitzgeralds Circus.

In reply #162, I mentioned that Wirth's was doing the Eastern States at that time. It was NSW and Qld I think..

It would be interesting to know how much Hindi he actually spoke.
Have you any idea about that Dianna?
A few words could be picked up anywhere, but to carry on a conversation, he would have needed a lot more exposure.

Religion.....
Ernie's proposed father Samuel FRANCIS states Wesleyan.

His mother's husband Francis B. LEE who suicided in 1924, was buried in the Independant section of Rookwood.

Francis B LEE was b. NZ to Francis and Anna (nee Stewart) LEE  Religion??

Dianna says the WHITE's were Protestant.

Phillip WIRTH was buried in the Anglican section of North Adelaide Cemetery.
Hard to pinpoint the RC element.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Sunday? School Picture for Dating
« on: Wednesday 01 October 25 00:33 BST (UK)  »
I can't help with dating, but I can say that the age group is mixed between young 3 and older 5 years.
There is even one child who looks not quite 3!

I think school was compulsory from 1880 in England at 5 years, so possibly not a school photo.
