Australia / Re: Trying to find family history on Nathan REES or Nathan REECE
« on: Friday 04 February 11 07:31 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone. We are rather new at this. My daugher and I are doing this together. Thanks for the info. We hope to get the hang of this sometime soon. We live in Canberra Australia. I have a birth cert for my grandfather which has his father as Nathin Rees and mother Anna Rees formerly Hirshcovitch in as so far as I can decipher the names on the certificate but on his marriage certificate, death certificate and the 1901 census it appears as Reece.
Is it possible to look at the other census without spending a bit on money? I checked out marriages on the Free BDM just now but with no luck so far but will try births for Nathan/Nathin Reece/Rees/Reiss around 1861.
I believe my grandfather left England sometime between 1901 and 1914 and arrived in Sydney Australia, perhaps with some of his siblings. Any easy way of doing this without going down to look at the maritime records in Sydney?
