Convict permission to marry

[gbugden]

Hello Wayne
My connection to this family branch is that Alice PITT is my 2nd great-grandmother on my mother's side. Clara Weinheimer was Alice Pitt's daughter and my mother's grandmother.

Additionally, I have been in contact with a Weinheimer researcher who has kindly shared with me her research into this family well back into Germany, all the way back to Nicolas Weinheimer who was born in the early 1600s.  I believe your name is on her tree showing descent from Alice Weinheimer (1888-1983)

Perhaps if you reply again you will be able to Pm me and I can give you email address.
Cheers
Greg

I replied a couple of days ago. Maybe I stuffed up  !!

 I have a letter written in the 1930's by a man who said he was William Henry Pitt. He addressed the letter to "my dear sister" ?
He said he had been raised in an orphanage and had gone by that name since he had left the orphanage. Have spent years trying to find out who he is. Any ideas.
Hopefully I can now send you a personal message.

Regards Wayne

Hi I am tracing my family history which has led me here.  I am hoping this site can help me....my ancestry is the following Ronald Herbert Ross is my grandfather, his father being Raymond Charles Ross born Bear Hill - Tingha in 1892, his parents were John Joseph Ross and Annie Tolley. I believe that Annie Tolley (many variations of the first and second name) is the daughter of Joseph Tolly and Margaret Maria Owens. This is where I need help as ancestry.com is a bit confusing...I believe that Margaret is the daughter of Samuel Owen/s and Sarah Wilson. John Joseph Ross and Annie Tolley had another son Herbert who was born1889 in Herberton QLD. Would like any help or confirmation that I have the right connection to Samuel Owen/s and his wife sarah (sally).  Did Sarah (Sally) marry becoming a Stubbs? Thanks in advance

Hi
I have heaps of information on Sam and Sally Owens. There is more than one Sam Owens though and this can cause confusion. My Sally did remarry a Stubbs, so you might be in the right track. I have a Maria Owens, daughter of Sam and Sally, born in 1847 and marrying at age 14! To a George Wilson in 1861. However, this daughters branch is a bit thin in my research, and I have not yet made sure it is correct. Does this basic information re-inforce your research? If so I am happy to share my research.
Cheers
Greg.

Thanks Greg, will need all the help I can get on this one, there are so many discrpenancie and name changes it is throwing me for a loop. What I do know is my ggrandfather was Raymond Charles Ross his parents were John Joseph Ross who married Annie Tolley - thats where it starts to become a foggy. I have a marriage extract for a Joseph Tolley who married a Margaret Maria Wilson in Armidale 1873. Her status was widow (George Wilson is stated) her age 32 in 1873. Residence Cope Creek. Parents Samuel Owens and Sarah Ann Edwards - Squatter. I think we may have a connection. Is Sally the same Sally Owens that plains were named after and if so I thought her name was Sarah/ Sally Williams???
