I am trying to find when William Hammer who married Ada Williams in 1903- parents came to Australia- and the ship.
I would like to find their place of origin.
William was a miner born in Australia -assume Ballarat or Bendigo but have no idea where the Hammer family originated.
Can anyone help me please?

London and Middlesex / Edward de Lima Woods
« on: Wednesday 14 October 20 10:21 BST (UK) »
Edward de Lima Woods was born in Lisbon in 1815- his father -name unknown- may have been fighting in the Peninsular Wars. Have no leads at all. Edward later had a pawn shop in London and married Sarah Southcott Holesgrove. Have tried to find his parentage before.
What was Edward's father doing in Lisbon and his name? his mother?
Can anyone help please?
Cheers, Hyjean

:)Bridget Reddin is my gt gt grandmother. She married Michael Cusack of Quin-Clooney Parish Co. Clare in 1852.
June 1854 for Van Dieman's Land arriving Hobart Town on "Maitland" September 1854. They were sponsored immigrants to a Dr Maddox of West Tamar & obviously made their way north.
Elizabeth Cusack was christened Launceston 11/12/1854=mother the former Bridget Reddin simply stated godparents Mary & Leo.
By 1855 Bridget Reddin-Cusack was remarried to Patrick Cassidy -lodging house keeper of Cimitiere St Launceston.
From then on Elizabeth was known as Cassidy. Patrick died & 20 years 1875 on Bridget Redden-Cusack-Cassidy married Michael O'Connor a farmer-man of property and fellow traveller on the Maitland. Eliza Cassidy was a witness at the wedding.
First child Bridget Cassidy 27/10/1856 2nd child Michael 14th January 1858-died 1881-Aged 26.
Michael O'Connor drowned in the Tamar Oct 1881
Elizabeth Cusack-Cassidy Ah Kin (married March 1875) 's husband died at Weld River July 1890-accidental explosion.
1892 Elizabeth Cusack-Cassidy-ah Kin marries Wing Chin at Ringarooma mining community-Grace Lilian Chin born later 1892.
Elizabeth died aged 47 23rd Feb 1896 -post partum on death Cert - her mother Bridget Reddin-Cusack-Cassidy O'Connor died April 1896.
Hope this is useful to the mix.
I should have added that I have followed the other Bridget C 'Australasia' & presented a session on her a few years back .Cheers. Hyjean

:)Hello,
Just wanted to tell you I have researched Bridget Cassidy Australasia some years back. She turned out to be not my Gt Gt Gt gtprandmother. There is quite a bit about this particular Bridget in a book about Convict Women called " A Drift of Derwent Ducks" by Trudy Cowley.
I eventually found my Bridget Cassidy through the Launceston Examiner & info wedding certificates. I contacted Launceston Library & an astute librarian realised the RC priest had been writing Cassarly on their certificates. One expects the recipients were illiterate & he was Irish also. A broad accent obviously interpreted Cassidy as Cassarly. I hope this is helpful.
Cheers Hyjean

Surrey Lookup Requests / Re: Richard Best Surrey
« on: Tuesday 14 May 19 10:17 BST (UK) » Thank you ShaunJ and AVM for your prompt attention.I was given a book to read today -a history of a friend's family. On opening it I thought the initial family list was somewhat sparse with e.g. born Surrey -without no detail of where.Married Mary-Surrey et al.
I have compiled my own Family History in the context of British History and as my grandparents and father were born in Surrey knew their were more details available. At present I cannot access them until I visit the West Aust Genealogical Soc. so was grateful for any details which I shall type up and give to my friend as an insert inside the dust cover.
Hyjean
Much appreciation to you both for your prompt replies.
