Australia / Re: Robert STEVENSON & Mary DAVIS

Hi,

I know this post is now two years old, but I am also searching for information on this family, in particular Thomas George. 

My GG Grandmother's name was Catherine Josephine Mahon and she married a Thomas Stevenson and possibly lived around the Bruthen/Upper Tambo area.  One of their children was named Catherine Josephine Stevenson (born 1889 Carlton - died 1929 Bairnsdale)who married James Kennedy Johnston.  I cannot find any information on Catherine Josephine Mahon and Thomas Stevenson, so if anyone can assist I would very appreciative.

Kind Regards

Jenny

PS I can share some information of Mary Davis'.  She remarried and died Mary Hollowell and is buried in the Bairnsdale cemetary.

George Somers Phipps was born in England in 1853 and Johanna Elliot was born in Victoria in 1860.

In relation to the Maori ancestry, older family members say they have seen a photo with a woman with a tatoo on her face but cannot seem to find anyone who has this photo, but will not dismiss the aboriginal ancesty either.

Regards

Jenny

Hi Thank you for your reply. 

Our family has always spoken of Dorothy being a decendant of a Maori princess and the only senario I can think of is that it seems Mary Jane Phipps (Mother of Dorothy) had a child out of wedlock as she married Robert Osborn two years after Dorothy's birth.

I had already checked the Womens Hospital data, although had not yet requested a search from them, however I have a copy of  Dorothy's marriage certificate to Andrew Counsell in 1919 and it has been altered to show that her  maiden name had been changed to  Dorothy Ethel Phipps from Dorothy Ethel Osborn in 1932.

Kind Regards

I am searching for the Maori ancestry of our great great grandmother Dorothy Ethel Phipps.  She was born in Australia in 1898 in Carlton, Victoria.  Her mother's name was Mary Jane Phipps, daughter of Joanna Elliott and George Somers Phipps.  Any information would be greatly appreciated. :)
