Hi Barbara,
Where can you buy BDM certificates from England? I cannot seem to locate an official place?

Offaly (Kings) / BILLANE - Thomas/Jeremiah/Mary (nee QUINLESS)
« on: Thursday 16 February 12 03:37 GMT (UK)  »
Trying to trace my ancestor Thomas Billane. He came to Australia and married there, but the only Thomas Billane I can find is convict records but they are aged 10 years older than my Thomas.
My thomas was born in Birr in 1829. His mothers name was Mary (nee Quinless) and his fathers name was Jeremiah.
I cannot find any information on him or his parents - its as if they never existed???
Can anyone out there help me with my search? I am almost at my wits end because all I can find is his marriage and death certificates in Australia, nothing else.
PLEASE PLEASE HELP  ME!

Hi,
I too am chasing the family tree on the Savill and Stringer lines. My husband is a desendant of Arthur David Stringer, son of Arthur stringer who married Daisy SAvill.
I am trying to track any birth/death cert or any photos. If anyone has any they could share please contact me.
I would dearly love to hear some stories about the family.
Merry Christmas all!
Belinda

Hi Jack,

Back in the late 1800's or early 1900's was it custom to name a son after the mothers name? Francis is the name of my grandfather and great grandfather and I was wondering where the name was selected from.

Is there a chance that ages were changed (up to 10 years difference?) back in the 1800s when convicted of a criminal offence. Thomas Billane was born around 1829, but convict records to Australia show birth around 1819. Could they or he have made himself 10 years older/younger?
Any luck on your trip?
Found out Thomas Billane had a brother John. Any further connection you may have found with Patrick and Thomas would be great.

Hi,

I am trying to trace my ancestors with the surname Billane who was born in Birr in about 1829. His name is Thomas Billane, and on his marriage and death certificates (in Australia) it states the father and mother as Jeremiah Billane and Mary (nee Quinless). I cannot locate anyone called Jeremiah or Mary Quinless and I cannot locate Thomas' birth certificate.
The names listed on the census with Patrick Billane are names that have appeared throughout our family tree. Could patrick be Thomas' brother???
Have you come across a Jeremiah or Mary in your travels?

Offaly (Kings) / Billanne - Thomas or Jeremiah
« on: Monday 04 July 11 00:09 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I am looking for my ancestors Thomas Billanne whos parents were Jeremiah Billanne and Mary (Nee Quinless). Thomas was born around 1829 in Birr I think, but not sure
Thomas went to Australia in the 1840s but I cannot confirm if it was as a convict or on a passenger ship as I have heard two stories relating to this.

Can anyone help me in finding Thomas' birth certificate or any info on Jeremiah or Mary.

I believe they were Roman Catholic - the decendants in Australia were.
Thank you.
