Thank you everyone for the help you have given me. Some of the information I already had but the websites you have given me filled in some gaps. I am still searching for Ellen but am looking down the Gall pathway now. :)

William Francis Joseph Lynch is Ellen's son. I have his WWII war service records and he has her as next of kin. He lists Hughes Street Mile End, the place which is on his birth certificate as Ellen's address in 1939. We know that she moved back to her parents home about the time that William was fostered which was January or February 1914.  Ellen gave William up to foster care through the Sister's of St Joseph and he was sent to a farm care placement  near Strathalbyn which is south of Adelaide. All trace of her ceases a few years later. Descendants of the Lynch/Lenane family only remember that she went to live somewhere else for a while, come back and then a few years later believed she moved interstate.

The Common Room / Thomas Lenane (Leonard) & Catherine Kirwan
« on: Sunday 29 January 17 04:26 GMT (UK)  »
Catherine Kirwan and Thomas Lenane were both born in Ireland and immigrated to Adelaide, South Australia. I have been told that Thomas' family changed their name from Leonard to Lenane after being in the poor house after their arrival. I am struggling with finding ancestors. They may have traveled with the Lynch family from Ballyjamesduff. I have their descendants, thanks to my father-in-law.

Australia / Australia/Ellen Elizabeth Lynch
« on: Sunday 29 January 17 04:20 GMT (UK)  »
Ellen was born to John Lynch and Ellen Lenane (Leonard) in Adelaide, South Australia in 1892. In 1913 she had a child and soon after we can find not trace of her. The said child's WWII record's have her as next of kin but the person concerned had no proof of her still being alive. It has been difficult to trace Ellen after giving up her child, can anyone help?

I am happy to say that I have no issues around my who or what I am culturally. I am a woman of Aboriginal, Irish, Scottish, English, Belarus Jewish heritage. How my family deal with that varies. Some have openly accepted the information about cultural heritage I have put forward, others have not and that issue is there's to work through because all I can do is give them the information to process. Not everyone is so open and accepting but it is nice to hear from those who are.

Oh, thank you Cando I did miss the post by Debra.

Through this site and other methods I have managed to fill in my grandfathers family as far back as Mary Robb's great grandparents but still only have George Thomas Green's father.

I am one of the few in the family who does not allow past stories to colour my view on the truth. I always investigate and put accurate information in front of them and explain the process it took to get it. They don't always like it but history is history. Try telling one side of the family that they have Jewish heritage and the other that they are aboriginal. There was a great deal of yelling and ancestral DNA does not lie. ;D

At this stage I have traced parts of Elizabeth Gladys Green's family, my maternal grandmother back as far as 1655. Yes, she passed away last year at the age of 98 in August and her ashes were laid to rest with those of my grandfather (her husband) George William Robert Green (Bread Carter, Soldier, Business Owner and charitable worker).

 I know a great deal about the Giesecke part of the family since their arrival in arrival in Australia as they have been good at taking photo's (some dating from 1800's) with notes written on the back and kept documents to pass on to future generations. Charles Giesecke did not actually use his real first and middle name, he didn't like it so rarely used it.

With the Green part of her family I have Benjamin's parent's Richard Green and Mary Elderkin and his first wife was Elizabeth Wylds. Benjamin and Elizabeth had a child William in 1832 and I have all twelve of Benjamin and Hannah Gardner's children.

I have also been able to easily follow the Delbridge and Moyle side of her family as we still have a lot to do with these relatives. I have folders of documentation from them as well (BDM/Ship Records).

With my grandfather George William Robert Green's family I am trying to find direct ancestors at the moment and will branch out to siblings and their descendants later but am grateful for any information people provide. I am putting the other information everyone has provided to the family to see reactions and I have applied to get copies of some certificates from BDM.

Both of my grandparents had the birth name Green and so Nan did not have to change her last name upon marriage. There are several George Thomas Green's in my grandmothers side of the family originating in South Australia and passing in Broken Hill. Yes, a family member did die in a mining accident in the early 1900's. The previous family historian has made a mess of collecting information sadly. I have asked some of the very elderly family members and they do not remember being told that George Thomas remarried.
