William STERLAND

[Aussie1947]

Hi,

There was a birth in 1865 in Queensland.

Thomas Arthur Sterland.
Born: 26th Nov 1865
Reg: 1866/C6159
F: William
M Elizabeth Killingley.

I can't see a marriage between Elizabeth & William in Queensland.

Looks like a marriage in England.

Apr/May/Jun 1855.
District: Basford.
County: Derbyshire/Notinghamshire.
Vol: 7b.
Page: 142.

Possibility of an 1861 Census record.
Address 199 Blackburn Rd, Parish of Old Accrington, County of Lancashire.

William Sterland, head, 30, Draper, born Nottingham.
Elizabeth Sterland, wife, 28, born Nottingham.
Alpheus Sterland, son, 4, born Nottingham.
John Wm, Sterland, son, 1


If this is our William Sterland then it is possible that he came out to Australia with Elizabeth and his two children Alpheus and John Wm (William) unless they had died before he left.

There is a NSW death for a John William Sterland in 1955 Reg: 22809/1955 with a father William and mother Elizabeth.

There is also a death for a Thomas Arthur Sterland in 1955 Reg: 9921/1954 with a father William and mother Elizabeth.  Maybe the Thomas Arthur Sterland who was born in Rockhampton in 1865!

Cant find a death in NSW or Qld for Alpheus Sterland though.

If William did die in NZ around 1868 it is possible that Elizabeth Sterland came back to Australia and settled in NSW and remarried, this is only a theory.

Thanks very much everyone.  Thanks Gerry for that information on the marriage and the remarriage.  Maybe the marriage in England will help trace the link with my Sterland relatives who hail from Nottinghamshire.  I haven't found one yet.  William's father Thomasdied before the 1841 census so I'm unsure how to trace his birth and his parents. 
thanks.

Hi Mark,

Thanks very much for your message.  I suspect you are the brother of Richard who've I corresponded with via email.  Thanks for the information on your forbears.  As I said to Richard it seems hard to believe they are related, however distantly, to mine as mine come from Greasley too.  As far as I can see Greasley appears to have been the place where some births, marriages and deaths for people living in the village of Selston were registered.  As you probably know there were sterlands in Selston going back to the 16th century.  Members of my family lived in a farm in Selston called Jacksdale for hundreds of years (as tenant farmers) but there were many offspring they also farmed elsewhere, just over the border into Derbyshire and some did other things.  I guess it is because the Sterlands had been there for so long that there appear to have been many of them in the area in the 18th century and its hard to work out how they were connected.  I have to say I have only just started getting interested in this so I'm a real novice at it. 

I told Richard a bit about myself and explained that I spend three months in Manly each summer where my husband has family.  I came across your ancestors by chance.  I have mailed Richard a pedigree chart of mine, which I can mail you if you want.  I can be mailed on
regards

Liz
