Australia / Re: Charles GRANT

I contacted the Mareeba Shire Council for a search  of all the local cemeteries
..lovely lady rang me back to say  there are no burial details for Charles Grant.




However a copy of his death certificate should say place of burial

Hello again,, just adding this as there were a couple of other family members in this thread who might be interested in this from TROVE.  He was estranged from his family for many years I am thinking because of the drink.

TROVE certainty  is a vertibile treasure TROVE

Yes Sue it sure was so good. 

He was married from the home HN Edsall when he was approx 22.

So we could assume he stayed with them till he married.   South Australian death notice from that era doesn't seem to mention much in the way of family.

Oh wow  I am moved to tears here.  After all this time.   
What a lovely bit of Sleuthing Debra
To learn he was indeed adopted by Henry Edsall who would have been in
 his 50s.   Can but hope he was treated well.  He died early 1900s in Perth.  His death certificate  said born in Wales but no parents listed.

I am very happy to find where he came from.  I know now I won't get any DNA matches to his family.   

Thanks most kindly Jenn

I have never really thought she would have been his mother .  There is no record of a birth to her unmarried.  When her father died, quite wealthy he left her a whole 20 pounds

She married Alfred Shoebridge  1.1.1855 and had their first child may 1856

But thanks Sue

Hi sue

Yes I have seen it  she  suffered from Epilepsy  theought her life and died in her 40s
sadly  her father Henry North Edsall and her step mother weren’t very nice to her,  article in Troce where they tried to have her committed.

She came across from Tasmania to Adelaide  after her father left her there when he went to Adelaide


Thanks Je n
