Thanks everyone,

Only A guess but thought he may have been mining in Tassie re Add.On his marriage cert at his occupation was a carter. Also a bankruptcy at Rutherglen.
(On Trove)
I also wondered  if the date was wrong at the 2nd marriage hence the time frame for the look up.I havent found Lily's death, (which would help) her married name was Adams.Her second Husband was William Edward Adams and he is buried  with his 2nd wife at fawkner. (DEc 1938) Have his death cert.

Australia / Look up death in Tasmania
« on: Friday 06 July 12 04:00 BST (UK)  »
Hi All,
Hoping someone maybe able to look up a death in the years 1900- 1928 for James Thomas / Thomas James Williams. He was born in1874 in Victoria son of Joseph Sloburn Williams and Harriet Barnett.He married in1896 to Lily Amelia Mc Nally and they had 3 children in Victoria.I have recently found Lily Amelia Williams remarrying in 1929 in Victoria.Stating a widow 16 Dec 1902.
On Trove there is a notice in the Launceston Examiner 22 May1920 asking him to come home ? He is a bit of a mystery so any help would greatly appreciated
with thanks Kerri

Hi Andy,
No first name only kirkwood and no maiden name. :(
While I was there had another look for birth Nicholas 1820_1840 no luck.tried Nicol ,Nichol, Nicholas.
So  hope his death certificate will give a clue.I guess that will also depend on the informant at his death too.

Thankyou  All for your help.
 Shelly thanks for certificate info.I will apply for that with fingers crossed  :)
Gobbo, Unfortunately when William died the informant on the certificate  didn't know William's details.Hence the search for his siblings. I have been on Scotlands people and haven't been successful in finding A  Nicholas Kirkwood birth. YET
Lisa,I was wrong about being buried with his niece  Mary B Gay.Mary is the sister of  William A Kirkwood .(the other Headstone)They are the daughter and son of my William.Have recently learnt of another daughter  Jemima who also spent her life in the U.S.Many thanks again,Kerri

Hi Aghadowey,
Nicholas Kirkwood  died 7 Jan 1919 of Contra Costa county California.He is buried with his niece , Mary Buchanan Gay nee Kirkwood and her family.He never married. I have read his obituary. I hoped if I could get death certificate it might show his parents  names.
Nicholas's sisters Isabella Ferguson, Agnes Lewis,also lived in California and Margaret Hastie? Their brother ,William my connection, lived and died in Australia.
Thanks for your interest,Kerri

Hi All,
A general enquiry for someone who is trying to make some headway here.
I have found a distant relative dying in California  (There are others) and I went on the county website and I have the impression that only direct family can obtain such certificates.Is this so or does some historical time line come in e.g family historians ?
 I have seen a site called Archives .com has any one had experience with this site.
Would appreciate any advice on how get further with my Californian connections, with thanks Kerri

Isabella Kirkwood married 2 in lanarkshire, Robert Weir 1844, and David Ferguson 1862 they went to California by1863/4 (Both spouses fron Barony ).
William B Kirkwood came to Australia abt 1855 was married on the 10 Dec 1842 to Janet Marshall they had 4 children baptised at the Dunbeth Relief Church, Coatbridge, that I know of.(plus 2 in Australia)
Agnes and Margaret married .Nicholas,Thomas and Andrew did not marry.
Hope this helps,thanks Kerri
