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!

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.

Hi bitzar
Thank you for getting back to me with this information.
Kind regards Sue

Hi Sue

FYI, My 1st cousin 3x removed married the grandson of Mary Ann Woolford.  I only started following this family because I have an interest in Chinese families on The Victorian Goldfields.

Out of curiosity, I just bought the 1855 MC for Mary Ann Woolford... she didn't know her mother's maiden name!  :o  She did know her father was a fish monger though!

An online tree has her probable brother Thomas also marrying in Victoria but seeing that this isn't actually my family I don't think I'll be buying that cert and taking the risk.
