Rutland Completed Look up Requests / Re: 1861 Look Up Please
« on: Saturday 21 November 15 22:51 GMT (UK)  »
Hello Paul

It' a long time since you were looking for a marriage of Catherine Stretton and Alfred Rush, but I'm wondering if you have found anything in the meantime.

Louise Rush, daughter of Catherine and Alfred, later became the mother of Alfred Peach Rush I believe. That birth was registered in 1888.

Can you help?

Regards
Kathleen Newman

Thanks Mal.  Google Books has uploaded many pages from this book with lots of references to Keteonetea including the military campaign in 1866 involving my relative.

Thank you.  I did see the Ketemarae Road - and the drawing of Keteonetea is great (unfortunately none of men pictured is my relative)  But the Google map does not show Keteonetea as far as I can see.

Does anything still exist of the place, even under another name?  Keteonetea was important to the Maori in the 1800s.

The Defenders... looks interesting and I see it's available at my State Library.

New Zealand Completed Requests / Keteonetea
« on: Saturday 03 January 15 03:50 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone pinpoint the location of Keteonetea on the North Island please.

A relative of mine earned a Campaign Medal for his action there in the Maori conflict in the period 1863 to 1866.  Old newspaper references show that it was somewhere near Normanby, and that there was a settlement named Keteonetea in 1864 which still existed in 1882.

Armed Forces / Re: 2nd Battalion - 18th Regiment of Foot
« on: Sunday 20 July 14 04:11 BST (UK)  »
I have just found the response of Neil1821 to a query about the 2nd 18th Battalion in New Zealand.  Do you have any record of William or Edward Keleher in your record of medals?

Both served there, and I have found more information on Edward Keleher because he had to produce Chelsea Pensioner records when he was admitted to Newtown Benevolent Home in Tasmania.

I have been able to trace William Keleher's movements because he had children born off the Isle of Wight, in Wanganui (1866-67) and Auckland 1869.  He returned to Australia (Melbourne) in 1870.

Any help you can offer would be much appreciated.

Australia / Re: HELP pls, with birthplace and father of Edward Imlay AIKEN

I've just found this thread whilst looking up Antonio Woolier who married a relative of mine.  Perhaps this discussion has concluded.  However, Antonio was in Melbourne from approx. 1870.  His wife gave birth to a child whilst they were living in Gore Street Fitzroy.  They were still there in 1872 at No. 124, and Antonio had a tobacconist business in Bourke St Melbourne in 1872, on the south side about half-way between Swanston & Elizabeth Streets (approx opposite what is now Myer).

From research on Woolier and his wife and her family, I believe he wasn't related to either of the people who married.  He may have lived near them.

He has a claim to fame as the person who rescued the only survivor of the Dunbar wrecked near the entrance to Sydney Harbour in 1857.
