Staffordshire / Re: Transportation of George Doleman
« on: Tuesday 16 September 25 03:07 BST (UK)  »
From about 1857 a George DOLMAN, bootmaker, had a shop at 47 Parramatta St, Sydney. 

He opened a 2nd shop in 1865 at Brickfield Hill. 

In 1872 he advertised he was moving his Parramatta St shop after 15 years to 64 Chowne St, Pyrmont. 

In 1874 he advertised he was also moving premises from 47 Parramatta St to 70 Parramatta St. 

In 1881 he was moving his shop from Glebe St to Mitchell St.  These street's are in Glebe.

In 1893 a George DOLMAN inserts a notice for the funeral of his wife Margaret, to leave 125 Mitchell St, Glebe to The Necropolis.  (DOLMAN, Margaret. 5954/1893.  District Glebe).  I can't find this record on the Rookwood online search.

Later in 1893 a George DOLMAN dies at St. Mary's and is buried at St. Mary's.

Are these the same George and Margaret?

EDIT:  George's first wife Maria is buried at St. Lukes, Liverpool, NSW 04 Jan 1843.  Shoe makes wife.

Hi Bucksboy,

Are you also related to the STEVENS from Walton, Aylesbury?

Thomas STEVENS b1803 at Aylesbury (s/of Charles STEVENS and Deness TAMAN) married Sarah PLATER at Aylesbury 1824.

My x3 gr grandmother was from Skibbereen.  Born c.1833 and was in the Workhouse prior to her leaving for Australia as part of The Earl Grey scheme in 1850 aged 16.

I have no DNA match's with anyone other than my relatives descended from her.  No brother's, sisters, or cousins.  Did everyone else die...

Thanks bitzar.

Charles and Martha were married in NZ in 1893. The NZBDM website has Martha DAMYON and Charles ROOK. The Intention to Marry has Martha DAMYON and Charles ROOTS.

Thanks for the info about the son. Looks like Charles and Martha died before 1916.

Not sure how they get JARVIC from DAMYON, probably poor writing.

Interesting to know when and where he got his Tattoo.  These bits and pieces make it so much more real than just words on a screen.

Re Martha and Charles Roots.  Have you read the WWI record for their son Charles Ernest Damyon Roots?  It does give some info regarding his NOK.

I also cannot find a marriage for Martha and Charles.

Charles, the son of Martha and Charles Roots.  His 1898 birth was registered in Prahran in 1898, it could well be her residence that Jessie passed at that same year.

In 'The Prahran Telegraph' on 24 Dec 1898, G.F. Thurgood was advertising his News Agency at 196 Chapel St, Prahran.  It was previously owned by E. Davis.  Did he possibly live upstairs too?

I can't find the 1898 death reg either!

bitzar.

EDIT:  Seems George Frederick Thurgood married Ethel Bloomfield Martin in 1902.

EDIT:  Just found Jessie's death registered under JARVIC, Jessie 1898 (13655) at Prahran aged 59.
