Lookup request for Mark Dicks Mills or dad George Mills.

[natinoz]

Hi there
Any help in looking for Mark Dicks Mills would be greatly appreciated.

The info i have so far:

Mark Dicks Mills b. 1821 Wiltshire. m. 1853 (unsure of where) d. 12 June 1898 Bowling alley Point, NSW Australia.

Louisa Rhoda Ward b. 1834 (unsure of where) d. 25 Oct 1888 Woolomin NSW Australia.
I'd like to know if shes from Wiltshire too.


I have Mark Dicks Mills Fathers name as George .

Any help on full name of marks parents and where he was born, when he came out to Australia and whether or not he had family out here already would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
Natalie

Thanks so much Paula!
I've accessed the Births, Deaths and Marriages for NSW Australia and it said Marks Dad was George - but it may be the wrong Mark. It also had no listing for his mum.

Thanks alot for your help. I can continue with looking up the parents now.

cheers

Hi Paula
I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction to find more about marks parents - like birth date, their parents, Siblings of Marks and siblings of his parents etc. Is there places on the net i might be able to find this out?

I'm doing as much research as i can without having to pay for it at the moment.

Thank you

Natalie

Hi Natalie
You could try and see if anyone can find them in the 1841/1851 census.the 1851 would give age and place of birth and the 1841 would give age and would say born in county or not.
you could then try parish records of birth place.
good luck

Thanks Kris

May i ask a newbie question - What does Ag Lab mean?
I've come across it a fair bit.

Thanks

Also - in the 1851 census - when it says DEAF - is that an abbreviation or does that mean he would have been deaf?

thanks
