BLACKWELL - Naracorte, South Australia
« on: Thursday 17 February 11 08:09 GMT (UK) »
Hello,

I'm trying to find out about the family of Margaret (Maggie) Hoey, b. Eaglehawk, Victoria 1864 & her husband John Blackwell. They apparently married at Kalangadoo, S. Austr. 7/1/1891. They only details I have of their children are names/nicknames - Catharine (Katie) b ? 6/10/1891; Goolie; Alicia; Maisie; John (Jack) b. 1916 ?; Alexander (Alec).

If anyone can find any more details on this couple and their children I'd be very grateful.

Many thanks,

Craig

Hi Cando,

Thanks so much, great information so quickly. Can't thank you enough.

I got the birth years from a New Zealand immigration fiche of people from Scotland.  The parents Thomas Hoey & Jemima Nena MccBeth emigrated from Scotland to the Victoria goldfields in S. Australia 1861-62 and had at least 6 children there at Eaglehawk (Catherine & Mary Nicol 1862, Margaret 1864, Catherine 1866, Thomas January 1867 & Jessie Drummond prob late 1867 (Oct???), as father Thomas Hoey d Melbourne & was buried at Bendigo 25/2/1867. The 2 Catherine's & Thomas jr died as babies & Jemima, Mary, Maggie & Jessie went to Wanganui in New Zealand to live.

However Maggie obviously came back to South Australia, married & reared her family at Naracoorte.

Is there any indication on your records of when Maggie & John Blackwell died?

Many thanks,

Craig

Craig,

Just a snippet of interest, from the New Zealand Gazette July16th 1880 page 1033 under "Licence To Teach" a Mrs Jemima Nena Hoey, Education District of Wanganui.


There is also some NZ Directory information as well if you need it.
