US Lookup Requests / Re: Charles Weightman "Natator or Man Fish"
« on: Sunday 26 November 23 02:20 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, I have been following the Bowman family and found the following info which may be of use to you.
The Lorgnette (Melbourne) - Friday 10th June, 1887.
AMERICAN MEMS.
A San Francisco correspondent states that Charles Weightman (the man-fish) is dying of consumption in St. Mary's Hospital.

The Lorgnette (Melbourne) - Friday 8th July, 1887.
Charles Weightman (the man-fish), died at St. Mary's Hospital, San Francisco, on the 3rd May. His last days were made comfortable by Al. Hayman, of the Baldwin Theatre and formerly of Australia. The Company of the Baldwin Theatre) purchased a burial lot and had a neat headstone placed thereon. Al. Hayman generously volunteered to assume the entire obligation. The deceased's wife, (better known as Miss Kate Douglass), is now with Bland Holt's company in Sydney.

Hope this helps a little, cheers, Nipper.

Hi Mo,
if this is 'my' Donald Duff then he and his first wife, Janet 'Jessie' Murray, had the following, Donald (Daniel?), Alexander, George, Catherine, William, Ann, Janet, Margaret & Robert. Janet died and Donald then married Isabella Gunn abt 1844 and they had the following: Bell, Ann & Johanna. Some offspring from each of the two familes came to Australia and my husband's Granfather is descended from Janet of the first family and his Grandfather was descended from Ann of the second family.
I know, very confusing!!
If you would like to share some info about this family I would like to communicate directly so we could email documents, etc.
Cheers, Jean.

Hi Moscan,
I am in Australia and have descendants of Donald Duff and his wife Janet Murray on my tree. Please let me know if you're still out there.
Cheers, Jean.
