Wiggy- so , two 'whoas'make a 'wight"? we agree- but you slid out of answering the half-brother bit- i notice these things!

Wivenhoe- Fiji!!!! Wiggy had me in the West Indies at one stage- the sun never sets on this empire. Thank you- the Sydneycentric nature of the notices suggest that MRL may well have been in the Parammatta Home in 1922- the only other option appears to be a firm of corseteers in country Victoria. I will follow the leads

Hi

NSW had Marmaduke P Langdale marrying Lilian A Nairn in 1924 and Marmaduke Vyvyan Langdale marrying Mary Vista Love in 1940 both in Sydney

likely to be living relatives of these couples

No births in NSW to 1908  or Victoria to 1920 for either

However there is a  dec qtr 1909 birth for a Marmaduke Vyvyan Langdale on Free BDM"S

In 1914 in  South Melbourne Louisa Von Steiglitz aged 73 (b c 1844) daughter of  Marmaduke Langdale and Hetta Chapman died

 Who is this lady?? Is this the sister of Marmaduke Robert Langdale? Would this death certificate hold any details of where she lived and where she was born and which Von S she was married to?

Wonder how we find bdm's in Fiji?

Hi Robyn

there is another thread going for Von Stieglitz/Ransom - and on that Leo Von Stielgitz may have given the answers to your Louisa question!  Have a look see -  started that thread to try and home in on Anne.

I know Louisa comes up on it!  Got a feeling she is not from Anne's offspring - not sure though - will have to check again.

Sorry Robyn - just flicked over to look it up!
- it was a child of Anne's and Francis - married Louisa Langdale - sister of Marmaduke who married Christina Von Stieglitz  I do believe. This could get VERY COMPLICATED if we are not careful - we now have three Christina Von Stieglitz in play!   Fred's sister, Fred's wife and Fred's niece!    ErrorSPAM REPORT THIS POST AS SPAM (Use 'Report to Moderator').

Hi All,

Have just checked Victorian records and Christina Langdale daughter of Annie ransom and Fran Streiglitz died in FitzroyMelbourne in 1888 rego number 9372

well there we go  another piece confirmed I wonder what her death certificate has on it in respect to children?

That's great Robyn.  Will try to chase that one up.  I've written it downand will chase up after next pay day - touring Tassie stretches the budget - but well worth the effort!

 Found all sorts of graves and bits of paper for which we'd have had to pay lots otherwise - still trying to work out if the trip outweighs the fees!!   The pleasure of it certainly does!

Re post 261 -  sure this has been said before but -  -  do you think Thomas would adopt Anne for her sake - could the 'Adopted daughter' refer to Thomas doing the adopting - (then Frederick after Thomas's death - though not changing her name - just having her as his daughter in his house until her marriage.)  Cash may have misunderstood who the adopting parent was - well that's a thought anyway.

Robyn I'd love to know why I couldn't find Christina when I looked up the Vic. records the other night - makes me mad when that happens!

Re post 262 Robyn - does it sound as if Marmaduke married again to this Hetta Chapman - or is this another generation do you think??   - if Christina died 1880 - Hetta may have been second wife - waddya think?   I'm writing all these people down and attempting to put them into family groups and generations - ti see what fits.

Hi Wivenhoe -

I notice some of the Von Stieglitz end up in Wivenhoe - are you a  family member by any chance?  Or is this pure co-incidence?
