« on: Wednesday 08 October 25 10:49 BST (UK)  »
Recovered these histories ...

Crumbs !   Ken Orams (life stories of George and Jessie Orams) Suffolk/Shetlands.
Over 500 pages and undoubtedly a life's worth of work !

The Jelley journey  1874-2017  - Cromwell and beyond   84 pages

Hamiltons of Kilmarnock, the NZ connect   -  67 pages

Da Flittin' of the Nicolsons from Shetland and the Duthies from Kincardine   over 290 pages

Free except for postage. 

This is getting worse and soon NO genealogies will exist in libraries ?  these are Not for Loan copies, whats the story ?

Yeah thanks for that, Majim

I remember those two in my earlier attempt, fairly sure that William and Ruth ain't mine.

The other Ruth, that Val has found sounds familiar to my conversation with the PENN researcher.

Thanks again both of you.   :)

Thanks for looking ...

Yeah originally 20+ years ago I tried hard to find him but ended up leaving it.

Got everyone else in that family line except him. All the oldies have now passed and I'm left with a photo and a old short conversation (with a Grt Aunt).

I may try that PENN researcher, tho last time I tried she wasn't working on the tree anymore, but you never know, if I find Ruth .............  :o

Yeah, fairly sure he was still in NSW.

William CHALMERS, born 1881 in Auckland.   

He married a Ruth PENN, but a Penn researcher is sure they split up in Australia.

Last known to be alive in 1956 (his sisters death notice). Living in Sydney. 

The death on the rolls, is in 1965 with no parents listed. There are no matches in the death rolls for his parents, Arch and Grace.

I have all related material in regards to the rest of the family and would prefer people focused solely on William, thanks.

The problem I think, is the William in 1965 may be the butcher who married Stella and from an old conversation with a elderly aunt was that she thought William was working in a bar ?

Thanks,

Yeah, he was 40+, born in NZ, living in oz for at least 10 years.

Only one possible on the NSW death index, no parents listed.

But I cannot find him for sure on the electoral rolls ... :(

Guess I will have to get the death cert and work from there.

Would a kiwi living in Sydney in the 30-40s HAVE to be on the electoral roll ?
