Looking for Relatives of Richard Napoleon Wyombe Townsend REECE

[majm]

Sharing my own Eureka moment if I may...

While searching for the Electoral Roll for REES, I've found the name of the Returning Officer for 1859 for the seat of The Gwydir twas Thomas Gordon Gibbs DANGAR, Esq...  who just happens to probably be a forebear on my OH's line  ... 

Sorry, I'll get back to Annie's marriages now

Re Annie's second marriage.. in the house of ....

Richard Higginson FITZSIMMONS was noted on the list of Officers in the Civil Establishment, 1869 as the:
the Agent for the Sale of Crown Lands, Warialda
Clerk of Petty Sessions, Warialda
District Registrar for Births, Deaths &c, Warialda

PS,  Outback, I'm enjoying the trawling through Warialda ... tis all part of the learning curve... I've got forebears from around Nundle, Warialda, all through there, known to be there from around 1880's and onwards...  So, I've got various resources for that area and I'm very pleased to be able to share the info via RChat.     Your tree .... Tis intriguing - there's some unique first names, and the MADDRAH surname WOW ... Urrrr... I've got my share of John and Mary Smith, or John Brown ... so popular, thus so difficult to crack those brickwalls.  Yet it seems that MADDRAH is also a difficult brickwall...

Ok, I have officially ordered a few certificates.now to wait there arrival. they may show some hints hopefully..
I have ordered the death certificates of
Orella(Ellen)Steel       oooohhhh ooohhh Just Moi if Ellen came to Australia as a beecroft I thought she may have married Jacob Steel in Tasmania as a beecroft but cant find any marriages for Jacob Steel anywhere.

ANyway back on track Death cert of Jacob Steel
Death Cert of Flora Reece
Birth Certificate of Jacob Steele Reece
BIrth Cert of Flora Reece
Birth Cert for William H Townsend

Hey thunda and crew

I haven't been online for a couple of days so you've all just blown my hair back..

I have printed your chat and i'm trawling through with my highlighter trying to add it all up (to put in my tree Brett/Reece) --- being very new to this the learning curve is steep.

Question: does it cost to order certificates?

And yes Annie and her mother, whoever she is, are soooo interesting..

My Mum (a Reece) had some original photographs of Annie and Isaace Steele --- she seems to have misplaced --- as soon as she finds I'll scan and supply.

Keep going ladies

Ordering BDM certificates definitely COSTS...

The best option I have found for NSW certificates is actually to get an official transcript.  At the top of this thread you should see Australian Resources... then within that, there's NSW resources...

and within that there's ·   Details on ALL Certificates for New South Wales

I find that ordering a transcript for the birth of forebear gives lots of information about the parents, and if they had lots of children, then I also order the transcript for the youngest child to compare the info the parents provided.

Many cheers, and I should add... Rootschat is the bestest site around for getting and for offering help with family history. Tis of course, Just Moi Opinion 

[outback_thunda]

Hi all,

Just Moi you crack me up with your joke.hahaha. Just Moi opinion, well, it's mine too.I like transcripts but decided I like the certificates too.   Its $9 extra for the certificate but I have over 100 so i think im collecting and Im going to turn into into a book, My other half dreads when I say im gonna order a certificate or two...LOL,..


Anyways If you want a certificate Teena let me know which one and I may have it already...

Chat soon

This is totally off topic but I was wanting to know how to trace someone who was adopted if your mother wont talk about it?? From myunderstanding you cant contact that person unless you have your mothers consent OR your mother is deceased. is this correct..

Eg: Mother had son and adopted him,later had other children. Through family gossip has now realised they have a sibling out there somewhere, mother has never mentioned it or probably not going too either..... Where do they stand.

Thanks
