Dear Trish and Jap

The family I am looking for is all dead. They settled around the Yea area.The reason it fans out a bit is because I am going only on family folk law and it is only been with your help so far that I have been made aware of certain people which I had no idea previously existed.

 I think a good place to start would be with Charles Pulford and Jemima Mainwaring Nash. Charles died in 1950-1960. Jemima in the late 1970-early 1980   period. She died in Boronia. The reason I dated the search back to 1850 is to fill in gaps.

Hello SK

Most of us on RC are looking for folks who are dead. We are searching for our roots, not looking to find living relatives. Thus said - I will make a suggestion - if you don't have a family history program on your computer, go to http://www.familysearch.org/ - select  "Order/Download Products" then find and download PAF. There are instructions you can download as well. If you do have another program - no problem.

Take all the information you have been given todate & add it to the program. This will allow you to see very easily what you have & don't have. The usual procedure when using a genealogy program is to input yourself first & go backwards from there, one line at a time - until you can't get any further. I'm rather keen on siblings, so I also tend to go somewhat sideways, but that is a personal decision that you need to make.

Once you have done this, you will have the necessary information, to query the missing data. I am wondering from your latest query if Charles and Jemima are a married couple. If this is the case, you will not find the death of Jemima under NASH - but I do not know.  The more logical you are with your research and queries, the more likely you are to meet with success.

If you want to simply search for particular names over 150 years in Victoria, I suggest you go to a local library/LDS centre that has copies of the Victorian CDs and you can browse to your hearts content (this is one reason I purchased same, it is lovely to be able to trace family quickly from one generation to the next)

Meanwhile

There are 3 Charles Pulfords on the Vic Death CD (just as well you added some details while I was typing  )

Charles Pulford died 1962 ref 6120 parents Samuel and Katherine Cummins Boxh aged 78
Jemima Mainwarin (sic) PULFORD (not Nash) died 1976 ref 25585 parents John Banc Nash & Jane Jeffreys Boro aged 88.

Many Australian death indexes do not contain parent surnames so it is important to give the correct surname for women. Men usually keep the name they were born with  . Fortunately the Vic indexes do contain parent surnames on death indexes.

s.k.,

As Trish says, it really is lovely to enjoy the thrill of the chase in tracing one's family from one generation to the next oneself - and can be quite exciting.

And doing it oneself makes one aware of what one needs to specify if one asks others to do research for one.

Just for completeness:
PULFORD Chas (born WURRINGEND) married NASH Jemima Mainwereng(sic) (born MARRUNDINDI) in Victoria, 1905, #6455

I have just come across all this work. I am a Pulford and I have reason to believe my grandfather, william, from Murrindindi may have been Charles' brother and so a son of Samuel.Is this of any interest?

Genni, I have 1875 recorded in my own hand but I do not recall how I came by this date. More attention to records is needed I fancy but at the time it was of little interest. On visiting Murrindindi as a little bloke I recall reference to "Charlie" in conversation and for all I know I have been to his place----I was probably around 8 or 9 and you don't know where you get taken at that age particularly along country roads in a bone rattling old tourer!
I believe William to be William Francis. His son,my father, was Herbert Francis
