nice when it all falls in place isn't it.... great feeling, well done Dee!

Lord Ravensworth.

One of my distant rellies-in-law
maybe not so cool as it was 3grandfather's niece that married his Lordship's daughter and her husband gambled away our inheritance!

I'm still feeling very happy about it all, JC.   

Have to tell you.....two years after the above advertisement went in the newspaper, Francois was in the Insolvency Court in Melbourne!       

Once he got that sorted, he moved on to Phillip Island and his Isle of Wight Hotel...... here's a quote from one of his many advertisements for that.....

"Host BAUER, In returning thanks for past favours,desires to inform his numerous patrons that the ISLE of WIGHT HOTEL is now ready for reception of visitors. Ladies can have the free privilege of receiving lessons in the culinary department, which is still under the superintendance of F. BAUER, Proprietor."

Dee we have an wonderful Aussie chatter who regularly visits NLA.  When I recently found an 'unprocessed' death announcement about my elusive gg grandfather [my only brickwall but a biggie] this wonderful chatter was kind enough to look at the archived Argus for me and pm the information.  I just couldn't wait....after all I had been looking for any information about him post 1847 since I started my family research

Would you like me to ask if she can help you?

Regards
Cando

Cando, I'd appreciate that greatly, if you think she wouldn't mind.

All I have is the reference that I found....and which now seems to have vanished.....

The Argus, Melbourne, Victoria Saturday 8th January 1887

Deaths

On the 1st August 1886, at ?  England, Hugh Bauer, brother of Francis Bauer, Cowes, Phillip Island.

I'm pretty sure that the message went on to mention his brother Joseph, who also died in 1886....but you know what the scrambled text can be like before it is corrected.

You are correct dee...it has vanished.  Perhaps it is being 'processed'.  I will send the request anway.  If it does come online we can always let her know the lookup isn't required.

Cheers

Lord Braybrooke.

Presumably the same individual who published Samuel Pepys Diary.  My namesake (who I have yet to find a family link to) supplied notes for the 3rd Volume of Pepys Diary and I presume he also worked alongside Lord Braybrooke (he lived at Audley End, near Saffron Walden).

[jc26red]

James, have you tried googling "Lord Braybrooke" and also do a search on google books... Lords tend to pop up quite easily 

[James R. Yeowell]

I have.  I am constantly searching on Google Books for any links to family.  I also use Archive.com as well.

There's always a lot to check.

Thanks to googling, I've worked out when Francois Joseph Bauer worked for Lord Alford and Lady Marion Alford. His son Francois was born at Berkhampstead!
