Hi again,
Just to let you all know that I have applied via a transcription agent for the marriage of William R Heasman and /Newby marriage in NSW. Will let you know what transpires from that.
Just in case,, you never know,,, but if any of you come across a ''spare'' James Balli, please let me have him ha!!
The reason i say this is remember, Marion married a Giovanni Balli from Switzerland, and she then goes off to New Zealand, gives birth to a child named William Balli who later on becomes known as William Caldwell. ( after Marions supposed marriage to a Mr Caldwell) Marion and Giovani had two previous children, one named George who I believe to be the George Heasman who is recorded as dead in 1870, and recorded as being the son of William and Jane ( his grandparents). However,, when Marion died in Melbourne in 1890, the children of her first marriage to Giovanni Balli were listed as being alive, that is James age 23 and William age 22. We know of course that the William is the one I mentioned above, that he becomes known as William Caldwell, but I still have never known or found out what become of James, and of course he may well have gone and married or died later on under the name of James Balli, James Caldwell, James Heasman, James,, well just about anything, if the name changes that occur in this family of ours is anything to go by.
So as I say,, if any of you have a spare James hanging around,,, do let me know please.
In the meantime, I will let you all know the outcome of the marriage of William R Heasman as soon as it arrives.
