Sorry, I should not have been so hasty to post.  ::)

Here is the second volume's entry for David Thomas, which does list ship of entry, and other things.  It also mentions that alternative place Oswaldsey

 duinnsleibhe Just try a  copy and paste of the link to  the records you see from the address bar at familysearch.

Here is the shortened link:

http://www.rootschat.com/links/01r59/

There is one entry near the top of the page, and another towards the bottom for David Thomas.

Edit to add:  That link works for me, but I am logged in to FS.

My speculative guess is that the David THOMAS was admitted to either Hospital or Asylum in 1853 and he is distinguished from others of the name by his ship of arrival on that admission record. Also his marital status was possibly recorded.

Thus his entry in BISA states, married by 1853.

Possibly also the family of his wife (his only family in the colony) did not place a newspaper death notice ( if he did in fact die in care), because it did not suit their perceived social position  :D

I think that I have located the two entries for the Hospital admission for David Thomas.  I'm not sure how to link to it as it is on FamilySearch.

There are indexes at the SA archives that give the volume numbers to consult.

He was admitted twice in January 1853 with Delerium Tremens.


Edit to add the link to the SA Archives page that led me to the digitised record:

I wonder what records were available to those compiling the Biographical Index of South Australians that led the record to read, married by 1853?

I think that they took information from anywhere, including members of the public.

A good description of the source of the work from Gould Books:

Happy New Year!

I can't really tell if you are still looking for help with this, but will assume yes.

Using the information that you have supplied, I was able to find a possible answer to your question of where Catherine Jacobs is buried.

* There is a record of a burial listed in the TAMIOT (Tombstone and Memorial Inscriptions of Tasmania) transcription records compiled by the Genealogical Society of Tasmania.   The entry reads:

JACOBS, Caroline D: 30 Oct 1855 - 33 yrs - St Marys Roman Catholic Hobart H006/00168

Although the first name has been transcribed as Caroline, and not Catherine, the date given in the record matches the information that you supplied.

This would be enough for me to want to rule out a transcription error of the first name. Perhaps an investigation of the original tombstone or memorial is warranted, in order to rule this person in or out of your research.

* I accessed this information through a digitised edition at my local library, but I believe the original work would have been published as a microfiche.  I tried to find the key that would have explained what the H006/00168 means, but I could not find it in the digital edition that I accessed.  From memory, it is included in the microfiche set, but perhaps someone else here might know where to find it, or have access to it. I can see on the internet that it is now available as a CDROM.  In any case, at least you have a cemetery name!

I hope that this helps, Kim.

Regards,

Paul

Cork / Stumped over a place in County Cork
« on: Saturday 01 January 22 02:56 GMT (UK)  »
Happy New Year Everyone!

May I please ask for assistance in working out a place name in County Cork?

This is from a family notice published in the Geelong Advertiser, Saturday 16th June, 1888.

The place, as spelt out in the family notice, is KILECULDUAGH, parish of Mitchelstown, County Cork, Ireland.

I can't find anything close in Cork (or anywhere else!).  Does anyone recognise the place, or something like it?

Thanks for looking!

Australia / Re: Leslie Francis Miller died 19 July 2000

Hi,

I don't have access to the paper but according to the Ryerson Index there is a notice published in the Herald Sun on the 21st July, 2000 which mentions a Les Francis Miller who died in Geelong Hospital on the 19th July, 2000.  Perhaps someone reading this will have access to the paper and is able to help you.

London and Middlesex / Re: Pancras Place?

That's a good spot, thanks. Gosh it's a tiny little road, isn't it.

It sure is. Blink and you'd miss it, as my dad would say!

You can just see it in the first pic i linked to....right next to the left hand side of the white join in the map - The word "pancras" on the left of the join, the word "place" on the right of the join.  :D
