LoneyBones Scavenger Hunt - Part 2...Everyone Welcome To Join In

[majm]

Bit More,

William LARSON

There's a chap by that name, native of DENMARK, aged 23, arriving on the ship "Star of India", 16 June 1876  His occupation ... SHIPWRIGHT...  I'll check to see if he was crew or passenger,  back shortly 

JM

[majm]

Bit More,

He was immigrating, arrival port was Sydney, and he was a Lutheran...

I'll see what else I can find on him 

JM

[majm]

Umm,

Victoria, Electral Roll 1903

Larson, Eliza Harvy Town, Eaglehawk, home duties
Larson, William, Harvy Town, Eaglehawk, miner.

NO other Larson for Harvy Town, some others with different address but Eaglehawk

Victoria Electoral Roll 1914
SAME info as for 1903    MODIFYING, except his a labourer

Could be I am way off track, but .... fingers crossed in case there's clues there LB

I'll try to find them in later years too...

Cheers,

JM

Hi there,

I'm no good with records for Victoria, but perhaps a search of cemeteries around Eaglehawk would help.  Both names were also on the 1909 roll for that address.

Cheers,

JM

Sorry to dash your hopes there, JM....but Wm Hy LARSON and Eliza Ann FULLER had 6 children in Eaglehawk between 1902 and 1913.

Well I can tell you that our city library Family History Section doesn't have the CD with NSW burials. They have 2 with QLD tho'.  
The labrarian said as she gave me the set, "I think one of these has a problem, but I can't remember what it was." I soon found out.    She's going to return it for a refund.

And another thing...I have a spooky feeling here....I was looking at the Australian Cemeteries website yesterday and clicked on BATHURST. Well it's a long story, but, I kept going round in circles. So finally I clicked on their report button, Bathurst FHS's that is, and sent them an email.
Got a reply when I got home this afternoon asking for details of the problem.
I repeated the excersize, as you do, and got the same run around but ended up with a blank page.
So....(I am getting to the point) ....I wrote the proceedure and sent back an email by return.
Waiting for a reply tomorrow. I just have this spooky feeling that there is something at Bathurst Cemetery that someone doesn't want me to find.

Hi Dee and LB,

I thought I might have been onto something ........ oh well .... perhaps Bathurst Family History site will have some answers... 

Fingers crossed especially for AngelaR to find something at Wiltshire, even without her camera's cable  ,

Cheers,  JM

[LoneyBones]

She found the cable.  I don't know how far she is from Wiltshire RO, but I hope the cable's long enough.

I just have this spooky feeling that there is something at Bathurst Cemetery that someone doesn't want me to find. 

Cue music to Twilight Zone......       Hope it's the right sort of 'spooky' for you LB.
