Hello there Jennyalogly

MENSFORTH  Edward  born Launceston
married WHITE Fanny Maria born Geelong
in 1881 in Victoria  reg no 225

I  checked  but  could not see a birth in Launceston  Tasmania,  but  then again  it  could be Launceston  in  the UK

A  copy of  the marriage certificate  will say  here and when  he was born

Do  you  think  Edward and George were related?

Hi all,

I'm still not sure which two you are asking about, so please let me explain further.

Edward Snr md 1) Mary MURNANE and they had a Son Edward 1876.
Mary d 1877

Edward Snr then md 2) Maria WHITE and they had 2 Sons George 1881 & Samuel 1883

So either Edward Snr is George's Father, or Edward Jnr is George's half Brother.

Some certificates should solve your problem :)

Thanks Cando, I realise this, but I only wondered if any of Lynie's MENSFORTHs moved up to NSW, if there was any connection.

All the best,
Jennyalogy

Hello Ladies if you are still on the air.
I have a connection to the Victorian Mensforths thru the Gilbert family from Alexandra.
There is a story that the Mensforths of Victoria and Southern NSW are related.
Probably from a connection to the town of Rochdale in England. The relationship went sour from a family disagreement.

Cheers
