Thanks wivenhoe.
According to the same Ancestry Tree, John died in 1861. I'm currently trying to obtain a death record to confirm, although there are several possibles around that time.

Hello again Kaylene912,
I'm hoping to find some original source information on Emma Gilbert.

Unsourced information on an Ancestry tree indicated that Emma was indigenous - the child of Namut Gilbert (1805-1841) and Judith Ginny Gabba (1807-1833). I am looking for any source material to verify Emma's birth as an indigenous person, also to confirm her parents. Her Death Certificate states that her parents are unknown.

My sister-in-law is descended from Thomas Dixon (1847 - 1926) through Emily Dixon (1869-aft 1949). So, Emma Gilbert is her GG Grandmother x 3.

I haven't been able to find birth records for Emma or her siblings born after registration commenced in NSW which may have provided further details. I have her death certificate.

Would appreciate any assistance you can provide. 

Many thanks :)
OzJane

Hello Kaylene912
Thanks for your response, I haven't been online for a while.
I completed 4-5 generations of my sister in law's tree for her 60th birthday.
I really appreciate you getting in touch. Would you mind leaving it with me for the moment? I have a bit on but would love to follow up with you.
Cheers

Hi - hope this is the correct board, please advise if not.
I have a relative who was in the East India Company. I'd like to find a world map, preferably from the 1800's that I can show his voyages from the UK to the East and simply mark in the place names.
I'm not brilliant on new software and would like to draw in the voyage and mark key places visited: Teneriffe; Macau; Hong Kong; Chennai etc.
Would anyone know of such a thing. I've Googled and there seem to be one or two that might work, I guess I'm looking for recommendations.
Many thanks in advance.

HI All,
Just a warning this crowd is still around and I'm ashamed to say I was caught. So embarrassing after 20 years of genealogy research.  :-[ :-[ :-[ Was trying to get through a longstanding brick wall, saw all the directories and didn't check! Lesson learned -  next time check in here and of course, if it sounds too good to be true - it will be.
Paid about $55 AUD by credit card and now sorted through my bank though I did get a new card just to be sure no repeat payments. Jane

Jamboree - Thank you!
Rootschatters are fabulous - did a search for 'East India Company' and found your post and reference to 'A Register of Ships, Employed in the Service of the Honorable the United East India Company, from the Year 1760 to 1819, with an Appendix: Containing a Variety of Particulars and Useful Information, Interesting to Those Concerned with East India Commerce by Hardy.'
I found a reference to an ancestor who served as a 4th mate and later a 2nd mate - have been searching for years and years! ;D ;D

Thanks Team,
 Jamjar - totally correct:
"I think this incorrect: Emily GILBERT's"
Confused my Emma with Emily ;D

Trying to avoid buying a transcript but suspect that it will be worth the investment. (Long story short, am working on the family belonging to my sister in law, so have already invested in several transcripts.)  You're right, if I get the 1859 birth transcript, should help.
Re the marriage, no actual marriage record I've been able to find, but the information was on the Death Certificate. So am comfortable with that.  A nice person uploaded it on a public site.
Cheers, appreciate your input.

Australia / DIXON John & GILBERT Emma
« on: Tuesday 08 October 19 05:58 BST (UK)  »
I'm looking for advice on where to go next.  John DIXON and Emily GILBERT's children were all registered in Liverpool, NSW. (James 1845; Thomas 1847; Frances 1854; George 1857; Emily Agnes 1859). Baptisms seem to have been at St Luke's Liverpool. Two other children deceased at the time of Emily's death in 1862. 
Emily's death certificate records her as being born in Liverpool in 1828 and also the marriage in 1845 in Liverpool.  The Death place is Enfield (the family seems to have moved to the Enfield/Ashfield area). 
John's name is recorded as 'Dickson' in relation to the marriage though as witness to the burial, he is recorded as 'Dixon'.  Emily's Death certificate does not record her parents. An unsourced Tree indicates that Emily may have been indigenous.
I have no information on John (name is common and many came as convicts; assisted and unassisted immigrants). The only unsourced information is that he may have been Irish. 
John was deceased by 1875 when his daughter married. Have checked NSW BMD, various cemetery records, shipping records, convict indents etc for clues. Nothing stands out.
I'm looking to at least find out when and where John may have arrived in NSW.  Would really appreciate any suggestions of where to look. Thanks in advance.
