Hello from Geelong, Australia

[carol8353]

Free BMD has the March 1885 marriage of Leander Johnson to Sarah Annie Waghorn in Richmond Surrey .

You'll find that Sarah Annie Waggon/ Wagner is actually WAGHORN,they married in the UK in 1885 and travelled out to Oz with Sarah's mum Mrs J Waghorn.

Sadly I haven't found them together in any census here yet.

I think it's one of the certs Belinda should get

I don't know if you already have this but..... on Find MY past there is a ships listing for a Leander J Johnson leaving the UK bound for Oz.

On the 26th August 1891 he left London bound for Sydney on board the PORT ALBERT ,it says he was age 8,although looking at the image it may be 3.

Travelling with him were...

Mrs J Waghorne age 58
Mrs A Johnson age 33
Leander J Johnson age 3
Edward A Johnson age 1

Could Mrs Waghorne have been grannie?

Best wishes

Carol

Sarah (Annie) Johnson was 33 when she left the UK in 1891- I doubt she would have still been alive to have died in 1957 

Or perhaps all that sunshine out there agreed with her

i feel like such a fool now.. i can't believe i haven't seen/ordered that certificate yet!

my line of thinking was... get rosetta's birth cert, which will have leander & sarah on it, then hopefully track their wedding cert, which will have their parents names one it... etc, etc...

It might be easier to get a transcription of it as it is cheaper than getting the certificate.

I use   http://home.iprimus.com.au/lturtle/index.htm

They charge A$15.00 compared with A$26.00 if ordered  from the website and it can be emailed to you for no extra cost

Can  I  just add in  here  a  thought for  you

If  you  were to purchase one of  the birth certificates of  the children born  in Australia that  may  give you  further information 

NSW Birth certificates contain Name, date, place, father's name and occupation age and birthplace. Mothers name age birthplace Marriage previous children.

Plus  the information  is  supplied by one of  the parents.

Your line of  thinking on  Rosetta's birth  is a good  one and liable as not to have  the required information,  The death in 1957  for Sarah is a long shot given  you  don't know anything about  her as yet.

Good thought Jenn

That might make things easier

I find Births and Marriages much more reliable for information as the Death is dependant on who gives the information. Sometimes it is accurate other times not no accurate.

Bit of  luck on  Checking on  family trees  on  Ancestery

there is a Johnson  tree with  the same family



has details
Sarah Annie Waghorne Born: abt 1857
Lowestoft, Suffolk, England Died: 1952
Hurstville, New South Wales, Australia

Leander Johnson
Born 1864 London England died 1918 in Tonga !!

John leander johnson  born 5/6/1887 London UK died 24th Feb 1979 Newcastle Australia

So Carol's information  from  the passenger lists was spot on.


There was no  details for Leander's siblings.

Unfortunately  there was no  direct email  for  the  tree owner so  I  have had to send a message  can  only  wait for a reply

Kind thoughts Jenn
