Hi Cando

Carrying on with my more 'unusual source'

SOULSBY, George   
Father:Robert
Mother:Leisk Jane
Event Place:Tara
1886      
Victoria
   
SOULSBY, Robert Magnus   
Father:Robert
Mother:Leick Jane
Event Place:Tarnagulla
1888      
Victoria

George was Robert's father's name and obviously Robert his own, but Magnus is a bit more interesting

LEISK, Magnus   
Father:U
Mother:Robertson Joanna
Age at Death:44
Birthplace:U
1880      
Victoria
   
It may just be a co-incidence but Leisk doesn't appear to be a particularly common surname in Victoria


Regards

Valda

The marriage of Jane LEISK born Inkerman and Robert SOWLSBY born Murphy's Flat and both resident at Murphy's Flat at time of the marriage, was conducted at St John's Church of England Church, Dunolly on 23 June 1885.  Robert LEISK was a witness.  Parents of Jane - Robert LEISK and Jane LEISK maiden name GILBERT.

Perhaps he was living with his daughter Jane.

Robert is buried at Rheola Cemetery and there is a headstone.  The lovely and helpful Carol will email you a photo of the grave...her email address is on the website.

There is a marriage in Victoria of a Robert LEISK b. Scotland to Elizabeth DAVIES b. Tasmania in 1883.  Their son Robert Magnus b. 1886 moved to Tasmania where he married in 1920.  Robert was their first born, one of six children born at Tarnagulla, Vic.

As Valda has commented, there are very few LEISK events on the Vic bdm's - 14 in total to 1920.

Magnus was born 1835 Nesting, Shetland, Scotland one of eight children to Robert LEISK and Johanna/Jean ROBERTSON.

More info than you need but interesting.....I would think that Robert b. 1829 is the father of Jane and your Johanna/Jo* G/JARROLD.

Jane and Robert SOULSBY had 8 children.  I will type them up if you wish.

Death
SOULSBY Jane
Father ??Soulsby Robert Leisk  Mother Jane UNKNOWN

Jane and Robert are also buried at Rheola Cemetery.  You could request a photo of their headstone also...if you wish :)

There are numerous references to Robert and Magnus in the Victorian Government Gazettes in connection with their leasing of land and non payment of rental. 

I wondered what happened to Eliza DAVIES who married Robert LEISK in 1883.  She appears in the Tasmanian Government Gazettes - as occupant at the following addresses -

1903
LEISK Eliza  45 Barrack Street, Hobart 

1905
LEISK Eliza  3 McRae Terrace, Smith Street, Hobart    Property owned by Hobart Benevolent Society.

Evidence would suggest that Jane who used the surname LEISK was raised by Robert.  I wonder what happened to Johanna G/JARROLD.  Does any of your information include registration references?

Cheers

1862- Emily Alice marriage (bdm reg no. 1848) to Henry Richard MANNING (b1837,d1890), johannah placed her mark under the name - Jonna JARROLD. Jonna would have been 43, maybe even pregnant?
1863- birth of Jane Leisk STONE,father (blank),mother Jonna STONE,place Inkerman (bdm reg no.7611) Jonna would be about 44years old.
1885- A Jane LEISK marries Robert SOWLSBY (SOULSBY) at Dunolly (thanks Cando) born at Inkerman (bdm reg no. 1723) no reference to surname STONE. Jonna would have been about 66 years old.
1924- Jane SOULSBY dies Inglewood, age 61. (bdm reg no. 5884),father Robert Leisk, mother Jane UNKNOWN.

So Johannah has been recorded as Jonna,Jean,Jane,Johanna,Johannah.
Shipping working on  :)
A very interesting 'lass'.

Hope you are able to find more.

Logan :)

1885 Jane LEISK married at St John's Church Dunolly.  The resource that is not available for sale in Australia has noted the place of marriage as Inkerman...who ever transcribed the information from the marriage records to their database has made an error.  The only reference to Inkerman on the certificate was place of birth for Jane.  I doubt very much if there was ever a church at Inkerman - a rural locality only with the same post code as Dunolly.  I have driven through the area many times.

It is annoying when resources which are only indexes afterall, give inaccurate information.

Off the soap box again ;D

When MAGNUS LEISK (farmer) died in 1880, he left his estate entirely to his brother ROBERT LEISK (farmer) who was also the executor of the Will.

Info in Government Gazettes, Postal directories etc. show Magnus and Robert to be farmers.  Snippets about land leases and rents and rents in arrears etc.  Robert was also listed as a farmer in Postal directories.  They were brothers.
