Ireland / Re: James McEwan & Ann Small - Ireland
« on: Friday 17 April 09 16:05 BST (UK)  »
Thank You Everyone for trying to Help with my James McEwan and Ann Small.
Their religion in Australia was Catholic, so there's not much hope of finding anything.
Can you tell me where did the ships leave from in Ireland to come to Australia, because there has been mention of Cork by the family, but nobody knows what it is in connection with. So I thought maybe this is were they left from and I might be able to find the ship passengerlist in Ireland.
Thank You All

Cornwall / Re: Richard RODDA - Cornwall

ospray, Thank You so very much, you have given me so many leads to now to follow up. You are most kind. Richard Rodda has been sitting in the draw for years.
The most shocking thing is he murdered his wife Elizabeth then committed suicide. The Inquest Papers were most interesting to read, 2 of the children were at a neighbours and came home to find their mother and father.
Thank You Again

Ireland / James McEwan & Ann Small - Ireland
« on: Friday 17 April 09 04:42 BST (UK)  »
Can somebody help me?
I am looking for information on James McEwan and Ann Small. James was born about 1833 somewhere in Ireland, his parents are thought to be Michael McEwan and Catherine Taylor. James married Ann Small about 1856 somewhere in Ireland. Ann was born about 1836 somwhere in Ireland, her father is known to be William Small from County Down, and her mother is thought to be Sarah Wall. James and Ann went to Australia around 1856 after their marriage, their son William was born as the ship entered Portland Victoria according to the family. His birth was never recorded, there has been no passenger list found, and James' death was never recorded. James died in 1870, an inquest was held into his death, which was a farmi9ng accident. James was a Bootmaker, worked at a property named Muntham Station, he also bought his own land. Ann remarried after the death of James, she died in 1893, they had 8 children all born in Australia. So if anyone can help with James' birth, parents, marriage record or Ann's birth and parents or the passenger list.

Hi Annelsie & All the Other Darvell Researchers,

I have research the Darvell family over the years and have George's family back to 1688 the birth of William who married Mary Jennings although there is still a few gaps. I can help you out Annelsie, the family becomes very involved.
I also some years back had information sent to me on the William Darvell and Fanny Ware Family, which is not connected to the George Darvell family, so if anyone needs help there I can also help. This is all in hard copy only, but I can work something out.
The Darvell Bakery in Chesham was established in 1838 by George's Grandfather as a wedding present from what can be determined and is still in the hands of rellies today who I know. Not Bad 171 Years.
So give me a call for Help!!
Cheers
