just an outside chance but something we all forget or even did not realise was hapening at that timne.

My rellies went to WA  and I eventually found them all there.  But PAraquay was on teh cards as well. Didn't know about the records of teh vassengers being availble. Thanks JM

Oh heavens! This was hard to catch up with

I've probably missed all this though I did try and read it all.

Back to Harriet Powley and that death entry for Charles saying maiden name was GENTAN.

UK records only had 1 so I looked for variants

Thomas Elvin POWLEY m Harriott GUYTON, Norwich Norfolk 1838.

IF she was a GUYTON there is a birth 1818, Norfolk, mother Mary, no father listed. This ties in with the NZ death date for Harriet Powley.

May or may not help

Well done Annie..........a bit of sideways sleuthing there.     

[LoneyBones]

Yes I am in contact with a COOPER relative. And I've done a few sums.
George Hubbard COOPER married Margaret HUTCHINSON in 1869 in Sydney, they both died in Katoomba. (Down the road from Mt Vic. )
George's little sister, Emma Eliza COOPER married George YEATMAN in 1873 and had May YEATMAN (who married John ENNIS #3) in 1883. So it's quite possible that this is my Mrs ENNIS managing my Mr COOPER's hotel.
    

And Harriett is still an important part of the puzzle. 

Oh that would be ironic Robyn, if she went and died in Paraguay    since the next time I go hunting it will be for her husband's birth and that was in the Azores. Impossible to find records in those countries.

DOH this was all on the Harriet Powley thread that I DIDN'T check
smack Annie

Hi All,

Umm,  LB, Re Cooper's and Mt Vic.... that area would be covered by Blue Mountains Family History Society Inc PO Box 97 SPRINGWOOD NSW 2777.  They seem to be active and have lots of resources, covering not just Blue Mtns, but just about every bit of Australia ...

On the off chance that your Elizabeth A B Ennis was their Manageress, I'll keep looking for her or Martha Alice in that "neck of the woods" .... at least until say around 1908 when Cyril and his wife Elizabeth may have left heading to NZ ...    (mind you, I too am finding "ennis" comes up online newspapers when the Return thanks notices actually read "cards" ... )

And I'm so pleased that I found that passenger list for Robyn ...     

Annie, I didn't know it was on that thread, so don't fret .... it was news to Moi   

Cheers,  JM

Oh no need to smack Annie,    the whole thing is astoundingly confusing, convoluted and contrary.
I'm seriously thinking of going back to researching me JONESs.  

[aniph]

Well believe me, I have just done a tree for someone full of Smith and White (with an alias too)

A very grey Annie here

[majm]

  Umm, Annie, would you like to do one for either of my John & Sally Brown late 18thC with "native place west of England"  or my John and Mary Smith mid 19thC both "born in England"

Seriously though, I'm wading through Sydney Morning Herald's for a Mrs Ennis around about 1887 or later, perhaps with a private boarding house etc and making sure I have "respite" for the eyes  ...  NOT anywheres YET ... but

Cheers,  JM
