PENHALL of South Australia

Thanks Jenn, I need all the help I can get!  I  eventually got onto the correct personal message area so we are now comparing notes.  It's a great delight to find someone researching in the same area - rather than being a sole operator all the time.

I will follow your instructions and put a new message on.  Maybe you can help me!

By the way, another question: how do I add information such as areas of interest etc onto my personal profile page?

Thanks again.

Hi, In a small hamlet named Wellington where the river Murray joins Lake Alexandrina in South Australia resides a lady named (*)l. I wonder what she knows. Colin Dugan.

[JAS1]

Thanks, Colin?  Do you have reason to believe she belongs to my clan?  Would she welcome contact?

John

This marriage says he was single and not a widower but  the ages and father’s name do match.
So it is an ssumption on my part that it is the same man

Hi I have just started to search my mothers side of the family, put a name in google a little bit of research and it brought me here  I am new to this so hope I am doing it right, my great grandfather was John Hugh Bawden he may have been the husband of Jane Ann Penhall but my family is not aware of any marriage prior to him marrying my great grandmother but it could be possible, John Hugh Bawden was married to my great grandmother Mary Henery  ,my grandmother was Lyle Bawden born in tin town on the 4/5/1902 I grew up with her in Exeter Adelaide I knew Hilda and  Rene which I am assuming is Ivy lavinia as I know of no other sister with this name, May lived close by but Lyle was not on speaking terms with her ,I never met her though not sure what happened to Violet, I remember Lyle talking Of Neil often who died WW1 and her sister Millie who died of TB, Mary my great grandmother died of a possible brain annerism when Lyle the youngest was 14 , John or Jack as  he was known died of a stoke at the age of 78 he was living with my grandmother Lyle and her husband at Exeter at the time, this Bawden line did indeed die out as no sons were born to John or Neil,  not sure if this is revelent to anyone that has posted but thought I would comment as you had been discussing them and you may be interested.

Hello Shelley,

I haven't looked at this site for some months and was delighted to  see that you have been on line in recent weeks.  I hope you get this message.

John Hugh Bawden was also my great-grandfather; he married twice, firstly to Jane Ann Bennicke Penhall who died in 1879 leaving one son, Henry Bawden, my grandfather (there was at least one other son from this marriage who died as an infant).  John Hugh later went on to marry Mary Henery and had the following children: May Evelyn (Collins/Miller), John Henry (unmarried), Cornelius (died WW1), Myrtle Nellie (infant death), Violet (Drummond/Tobin), Hilda (Tomsen), Josepha Mildred (Todd), Albert James (infant death), Ivy Lavinia (infant death), Thelma Irene (Friend), Lyley (Bussenschutt).

My grandfather was brought up by his grandparents Henry and Josepha Bawden (nee Matthews) after his mother died, and was probably closer to his uncles and aunts than his own father and step-siblings.  Grandfather came to Victoria in the early 1890s, and all contact with SA seems to have been lost after his father died in 1931.

I have researched the Bawden family for many years, and more recently the Matthews and related families.  I have much to share with you if you are interested. The Bawdens have been a most difficult family to trace (there being no living male descendants with the Bawden name), and I have made contact with no other Bawden descendants (apart from my own line) except a daughter of Violet Tobin.

I look forward to you getting in touch
