Australia / Re: John Joseph(Jack) FINNIE (1902- ?)
« on: Thursday 12 April 18 06:56 BST (UK)  »
Hi Robin,

I have a lot of info on the Finnies and was in touch with one of Jack's relatives a while ago.  I may have some photos of Jack that you don't have.  I would love to see the ones you have of Jack and Clarrie.  Have always wondered how they were connected.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: Solomons - Aldgate area
« on: Sunday 17 July 16 09:29 BST (UK)  »
He was sent to Australia in 1815.  I have a lot of info on him from when he was arrested and arriving in Australia.  Can't seem to find anything on him before his arrest and trial.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Solomons - Aldgate area
« on: Sunday 17 July 16 05:50 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

Trying to find some information on a Solomon Solomons born around 1795 in London.  He came to Australia as a convict so unfortunately not much info is available on him.  The only information I have is that his native place was London and he was born in 1795 or around that time.  He was arrested in the Aldgate area as he was on his way to his Aunts house.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,

I am doing a little bit of research on this O'Brien family.  Would love to compare notes.

Australia / Help with the HOLMES family from New South Wales
« on: Monday 18 February 13 23:37 GMT (UK)  »
Was hoping to get some suggestions on looking for a family in New South Wales.  The mothers name was Ada Alice Holmes born in 1883 in Bombala, NSW.  Ada married a William Smith in 1900, Bombala.  Have been unable to find her after that.

Australia / Re: Lookup for John Holmes - nsw elect roll before 1930

Thanks heaps for all that information.  That has been so helpful.  I have been trying to track old John Holmes down for ages.  I knew he was around the Bombala area in 1891 but lost him.  I have managed to find his wife Mary ann and some of the children, turning up in Sydney in 1910 but John doesn't seem to have come with them.  With a name like John Holmes and no parents name to help me, has made it very hard.

Hi Debra,

It states on the certificate that it was altered from
William McDonald to Patrick McDonald and that is the correct certificate.  Have no idea why I wrote Michael  :-\

Thank you everyone for so much information.  Just going through it all.  I am a little confused now.  Is there such a ship as the "Morentia"?  I have done some searches and never been able to find it.  The certificate I have with that information was a transcribed death certificate.  He died in the Liverpool Asylum in 1877.  The informant was the clerk.  There is not a lot of information on it.  No mention of family at all.  His occupation is put as a Painter, age 58, place of birth Ireland, Time in Aust Colonies states per "Morentia" 1839.

Just read through all your information Debra.  Thank you, thank you.  Can I ask, how you found all the information about his convictions and especially the daughter, Louisa.   With this information I think the case might be cracked.  The other thing that put me off with finding him was on the marriage banns he states that he is a bachelor.  After reading all the things that he did, I am thinking telling a lie wasn't that important to him.  Can not thank you enough!
