Nathaniel GOLD b.1868 d.1940 Sydney, NSW, Australia *COMPLETED*

[sparrett]

Hi,
Judith has found a likely death for Janet above, but I wondered about this as another poss. From Ryerson.

I noted the electoral roll refers to Janet as JANNIE in 1930 per Judith


GOLD Jane (Janey) Death notice 17MAR1969 Death aged 88   Sydney Morning Herald 18MAR1969

Now it does make her a young mother for Andrew, but just possible.

Good Morning,

Wow! Everyone has been very busy down under... sleeping on an issue really does work 

OK on to business… I too had discovered the 1936 Australian Electoral Roll listing both Nathaniel Gold and his wife Janet Gold. This is how I definitively knew that Janet had also made the trek to Australia; however, I did not have the 1930 Election Roll. Thank you!

The 1894 marriage record for Nathaniel Gold and Janet Black lists Janet’s parents as Adam Black (deceased) and Janet Clelland (deceased).  Janet Black was 23 yrs when she married Nathaniel.  Perhaps her parents died when she was an infant and James and Euphemia raised her?  On that note I quickly did a search of the 1881 Scottish Census and what do you know…

Dwelling: Clyde Street, Carluke, Lanark, Scotland
Adam Black; Border; Unmarried; 36; M; Slater; Lanark, Lanark, Scotland
Euphemia Black; Wife; Married; 31; F; Wife; Lanark, Lanark, Scotland
James Black; Head; Married; 32; M; Slater; Lanark, Lanark, Scotland
Janet Black; Daughter; n/a; 9; F; Scholar; Lesmahagow, Lanark, Scotland

It would now seem very plausible that the 1946 death record found by Judith is in fact my Janet Black.  I will order the record from the NSW Registrar and let you know what it comes back with.

As for Euphemia (Effie) Macpherson GOLD b.1895 and Natalie (Nathaniel) Oman Gold b.1907… It is very possible that they did not make the trip to Australia as Euphemia would have been 32 yrs and Natalie would have been 20 yrs in 1927 and possibly already married… The hunt for Euphemia and Natalie continues…

A very warm thank you to everyone for your time and assistance…

Are you aware  that you can order certificates from a transcription agent in NSW.

An easier method, quicker and cheaper especially for family history.

I  use Laurie Turtle I  have found him excellent, but it is just a matter of choice.

Well found Kris

I  wonder why  at  that age  they  decided  to emmigrate?  perhaps  the son Andrew  was allready  here?  or one of  the other children.

Sorry, I am not spotting anything which seems right for the children. There are two other Nathans arriving one born 1894 arriving 1913 the other born 1912 arriving 1913. The marriage mentioned is possibly one of these chaps.  :'(The only arrival I can see for an Andrew of the right age does not seem to fit.

He departed London 7 July 1925 aboard the BALRANALD

GOLD Andrew 27 Farmer English Last address in UK Wall Farm Beabourne Kent.

I thought the same thing Jenn, quite old to be immigrating, so I suspected they must be joining a child/children but I am just not seeing anything on the children's arrival. I haven't looked at the Electoral Rolls yet to see how many Andrew GOLD's we have in NSW

Hello Everyone,

Wow! what a flurry of activity... I'm truly impressed!

Kris: Thank you for taking the time to locate the immigration information for Nathaniel and Janet... I had made an attempt many months ago and came up with nothing.  Here in Canada, the government has immigration manifests free on-line... is this the same in Australia?  Also, according to the 1953 NSW death record for Andrew Gold he had resided in Australia for 30 yrs which would put his arrival some time around 1923 which was 4 yrs prior to his parents.

Thank you again everyone for your time and assistance!

Hi Arthur,

Many passenger lists are free Online, some are pay per view.

If you care to peruse the NSW Resources you find listed all the wonderful free resources we are aware of listed.
