 Thanks so much. Yes i don't know if the 3rd baby was registered because she was stillborn.


The division of Loch sounds familiar too. Ah more pieces for my puzzle!  :)

Yes that's the one. I didn't realise that info would be on the death certificate.

Is there a transciption service that would give that info without having to buy the actual certificate?

Also trying to find out why they moved to the mainland.

wait up....I just realised that that may not be the right names. According to my info (passed on research), Thomas William BOARD who died in 1919, married an ADAMS however his parents were Thomas William BOARD and Bridget COOPER?

Australia / Tas to Vic early 1900s??

 Hey there.

Anyone out there know how I could find out when my grandfather and his family came to Victoria from Tasmania?

I believe my grandfather was born 1912 in Tasmania and then his younger sisters, triplets, were born in Ballarat 1915.  Their father died 3 years later in Natimuk, Victoria.

Australia / Re: DIXON-came over 1914 ish?

 Thanks guys. I never even thought of Patrick and Hannah coming over on different ships!  ::)

I have since found out that sidney was only a middle name of one of the sons born in Australia. They had 18 children all up!

I have more lovely leads to follow up one now :)

Im 99% sure they came into Sydney.

I wish I could get the extra info from findmypast. I haven't got a credit card or anything like that.

Hi there.

Just wondering where I could get some information on when and on what ship Patrick and Hannah DIXON came over to Australia on?

James, George, Sidney, Patrick, Francis were some of their children that may of came with them.

Devon Lookup Requests / Re: BOARD, John 1841 census Plymouth
« on: Friday 31 August 07 02:47 BST (UK)  »
The ship he was on was "David Clarke". It left for Australia the day after the census was taken!

I am confused about the syblings as on the convict records they say he had 3 brothers and one sister.

The fact that the possible Chedzoy relation living next door was a shoemaker may be a lead as John was also  shoemaker at some time.

From my information, which is second hand and sketchy at the least, he was born Bridgewater or Taunton, Somerset in 1817. As far as I know he wasn't married.

His occupation was a shoemaker and he also was in the 11th regiment, he deserted however and thus the reason for being sentenced.

He set sail from Plymouth.

His parents were probably Thomas an Mary Board (nee.Chedzey). Not much of an idea about syblings.
