Thanks again Merlin.
Eliza's maiden name was Coggins. Her father was William Green and her mother was Goodworth Coggins. She was born in 1861.
William Thomas was the illegitimate son of Eliza Russell. He was born in 1860.
And yes, I've scrolled down the list! As I don't know which state the family lived in, I guess I should re-post this in the Australia forum.
Thanks again.

Thanks Merlin.
I've tried Queensland BMD indexes since reading your reply, no success there. You suggested the Rootschat forum, have I not posted this in the right forum?
I've also tried Ancestry worldwide and Queensland State Archives online. Any suggestions as to where I try to find the family if they didn't stay in Queensland?

Australia / Eliza RUSSELL, arrived Brisbane 6 April 1888

Eliza RUSSELL, husband William Thomas, son John and daughter Edith Emily emigrated from Oxfordshire in England and arrived in Brisbane on the ship Merkara 6 April 1888.
Where do I go from here? Are there any online sources where I can try to find out what happened to them?
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Many thanks, Nina.

Kent Lookup Requests / Re: Grandad gone Missing?
« on: Monday 14 March 11 22:01 GMT (UK) »
Hi
Mother Harriet died in 1901, cannot find father Edward anywhere (including death indexes).
In 1911, I can find the following children:
Agnes as a housemaid in London
Edward in the army in Aldershot
Youngest son John in an industrial school in Mayfield, near Woking in Surrey.
Victoria had emigrated to Canada in 1908 - you have found this in the last day or so.
Since my posts earlier tonight, I have found that both George and John emigrated to Canada together in 1906, on the ship Dominion, leaving Liverpool 2 August 1906.
That leaves just Thomas unaccounted for in 1911, he would have been aged 21 then.

Sorry, I gave wrong information about Agnes Bough. She didn't marry in 1907 - I've just realised that I have her listed in 1911 as still single! She was a housemaid in Russell Square, London. It's definitely her, it states birthplace as Maidenhead, Berkshire.
I'll just delete that marriage from my programme.
Look forward to hearing from you again.
Nina
