More records of him from a US paper based in Paris confirming a Ford link:

Also his Victorian court record (Ernest C Crick aka George Hamilton)

"as given on the 1950 death certificate" - by who? Who was the informant?


I see that his Antwerp immigration record is linked to his FS page but not the original. In case you haven't seen it, his file starts here:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-L99C-QY6K?wc=M6TQ-4PD%3A342014901%26cc%3D2023926&cc=2023926&lang=en&i=13

It looks like he had been in Paris visiting his father when he came in late 1924.  He claimed to work for Ford (which on one level would make sense as Ford did open a site in Antwerp in 1922).  There is a picture of him in the files and some info about addresses he stayed at.

Family History Beginners Board / Re: Plea for help - Bairds of Kilkenny

Hi there and welcome to Rootschat!


The first thing we want to do is confirm the circumstance's of Edward's birth including if he had any siblings. All details from the birth are important.

https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/ shows me his birth but it is indexed under BEIRD and his mother's name is indexed as WHELAN.   Also the birthdate is a year off - 2nd November 1902.

I think this is your man. He was born Kilkenny, his father was a tailor, and a Catherine Beird (grandmother?) registered the birth.
This would appear to be them in 1911. Thomas was much older than Mary.
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Kilkenny/Kilkenny_No__2_Urban/Irishtown__East_Side_/525680/

Other records use Baird or Beird, and mother sometimes indexed as Whelan or Phelan.
Catherine, 1905

Marriage of Thomas & Mary 1900

According to the marriage, Thomas was a bachelor.

Australia / Re: Death after 1970 - cannot locate any record

There's a Mrs Nellie Irwin in a nursing home in the ACT in this article. Age is about right.

https://services.accesscanberra.act.gov.au/s/public-registers/generic-register?registerid=historic-death-index
A Nellie Irwin died in 1977 in the ACT. Unfortunately not enough info on the index to determine if this is your Nellie.

 This list of correspondants is interesting.

Sybil Nichol was sending letters up to 1952, and then from late 1952 a Sybil Seim was writing to the family - mentions an "Oliver" (possible husband?), a return to England and then later, in the 1960s, living in Sydney.

Sybil Gordon Seim has the right birthday but manages to lose a few years

Remarriage in Denmark!

1930 census suggests he came over in 1908
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XQ5W-5FC?lang=en

1910 shows a sister, but no children:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M5SC-1WB?lang=en
 (indexing is wrong; original shows born England)
His sister passed away in 1916: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9RTB-9HKD?view=fullText&keywords=Mawson%2CS%2CO&lang=en&groupId=

This may be him in transit to India in 1908

US Completed Requests / Re: San Francisco building numbers 1850s

Looking at who her neighbours were in that period and if/when/how they move might also help.

For example if when she moved to "40 First" her neighbour from the previous directory becomes "42 First" you can guess it's a renumbering.

But if she moved to "60 First" and the other person/business stayed at 42, then probably it's a move.

Family History Beginners Board / Re: St Bernards Hospital

Do you have her death certificate?

Records for hospitals are often hard to get hold of - some don't survive, anything from 1965 is likely still quite locked down because of privacy.

This St Bernard's hospital? (Unfortuntely it doesn't look like any patient records from 1965 have made it to the archives; they may still be with the NHS trust - if surviving).

The Common Room / Re: Finding Victoria Bizat

Also can be found here on the Gironde archives (I don't have Ancestry so don't know if it's the same).

Lists him as aged 62 and his wife as aged 59.

Also on there are some passport records for him and his father:
https://archives.gironde.fr/archive/resultats/passeports/n:632?RECH_persname=Bizat&type=passeports
The one in 1859 mentions he is accompanied by his wife and child.

Now, one of their children, Louis, married in Bourdeaux in 1904, and by this time both parents are deceased:
https://archives.bordeaux-metropole.fr/ark:/75241/vta4a2046cc83ca2e7f/daoloc/0/186

The trick with French deaths is that women are almost always listed under maiden names.
So here she is, Victoria Shearman (veuve Bizat)
