MOANE - BONNYMAN Descent

[Chilis]

Merlin,
As my late father would have said, "The thot plickens"

I have now seen a 'comment' that has been added to one of two Public Member Trees which would indicate, correctly I think, that the MOANE attachment is to an incorrect Margaret BONNYMAN.

Looking at early Electoral Rolls (1954) for NSW, I see that the Charles MOANE who married Margaret BONNYMAN is listed as a 'labourer'.  In the event, I do know that the Margaret F  BONNYMAN who has been attributed to this family's Public Member Tree was in fact daughter of a Superintendent Marine Engineer who married in Cardiff in 1905.

Yet again, research has been flimsily based.   

So, thank you for your help Merlin.  It's got me there and back in the space of an afternoon!

Yes, thanks you Merlin

This Margaret is Margaret E and goodness knows why a Margaret F(alconer) Bonnyman born Scotland has been added into the MOANE's Public Members Tree..

Problem solved

Hi Chilis

I'm related to Margaret Falconer Bonnyman and can confirm she didn't marry Charles Moane.

It is also possible that the Margaret Bonnyman who did marry Charles Moane is also related. Three Bonnyman brothers from Scotland, Walter was my gggrandfather, John was the grandfather of Margaret Falconer Bonnyman and Alexander emigrated to Australia. His son William was born and died in Wollongong and Williams wife was Elizabeth. I'm aware of 4 children that William and Elizabeth had but none were named Margaret so whether there is a 5th child named Margaret not in NSW BMD's or its a totally different family I don't know.  I do know a descendant of Alexander who might have more information so if you don't have any luck contacting a Moane descendant, let me know

Hi,

I believe my Dad is of Moane Bonnyman descent and he is from Wollongong. I will pass this on to him and confirm.

Thanks

Hi,

I have spoken to my Dad - they are his Grandparents.

They had 9 children, one of them Patrick Vincent Moane who married Jessie Bannon. Patrick and Jessie are my fathers parent. My father is Frederick Charles.

He says he is interested in the what you have found from the junk sale. You will have to excuse me, as I am new at this, but how to we go about getting in touch.

Thanks

Hi

Welcome to Rootschat.  The Junk sale find does not relate to the Margaret Bonnyman who married Charles Moane but to a different family namely Margaret Falconer Bonnyman who married Jenkyn Davis Jones in Cardiff, Wales. She was the daughter of James Smith Bonnyman and Agnes Hastings. A couple of trees on Ancestry have incorrect information.

It is possible that your Margaret Bonnyman is descended from Alexander Bonnyman and Sarah Hinchcliffe who came out from Scotland in 1839.
