George SUMMERS

[jel]

Hi, I was just reading what has been noted down by yourself re a resident of the Liverpool Asylum in NSW Australia and I was wondering if you would be able to help me with some information. I am looking for information on a George Summers who died in the Liverpool Asylum on the 3 January 1900. Apparently he was buried in the Pionee Park in Liverpool on the 4th January 1900 as a pauper. George Summers was born in Scotland in 1838 and came out to Austrlia in the 1850's. He was either a baker or a draper and lived in NSW for 35 years. He married Elizabeth Amy Peisley in 1874 and they had one daughter, Kathleen Amy Summers who was born in 1875. I don't live in NSW but in Melbourne so it is difficult to obtain this information. Thank you in anticipation of some assistance!!

Hi there,

I will ask the Moderator to move your post to the Aussie Board, rather than leave it here on the Armed Forces Board ....  ^(*)

I will of course try to help you with the thrust of your question.


Edit to add

  I don't live in Sydney, so in the internet age it is perhaps more difficult to research from my armchair than from your Melbourne location.   I am somewhat confused as where on the Armed Forces Board here at RChat you have found my comment "re a resident of the Liverpool Asylum in NSW Australia"    but .... here's some thoughts  (I have lots more, but these seem sensible to start with)...

Have you checked out the links on the NSW Resources Board,
Have you gone through the NSW SRO indexes
Do you have the 1900 d.c. for your chap, if so what are the details recorded on that, and do those details match up with any previous knowledge you held about that chap, thus comfirming he belongs on your own family tree ... 

Cheers  JM


^(*)Moderator Comment: now split off and moved to Australia board

I am obviously not very good at this!!! I will have to check again to see what on earth I was doing! sorry to have troubled you, I will sort it out. thanks for your advise anyway and thanks too for saying that you would put my message on the Australian message board!!! I would probably mess up doing that as well!

  Once upon a time I was new to RChat too .... and people helped me through too ...

So may I suggest that you simply wait for the moderator to move the thread across to the Aussie Board.... In the mean time    

Hi Jel

Some thoughts ....

You have him arrived into Australia in the 1850’s  do you know which colony please?  Does the d.c. give you the number of years in the colonies,
   
Does it actually mention 35 years in NSW, and not make mention of the rest of the years .... (1900 – 1850’s is 40 to 50 years) .... have you considered NZ as an option for some of those elusive years

Re the 1874 marriage to Elizabeth Amy Peisley .... do you have that m.c. .... what were his parents names please..., his own occupation, his father’s occupation, and what was his usual address at that time

Re the daughter born 1875 ... do you have that b.c, where were the family living at that time ....  Was this the only child for the couple, what happened to this lass or her mother,

Cannot find the surname FLIDE on the rolls for Orange in 1870 or 1878, perhaps a second marriage ....

Cheers,  JM

Not sure,  perhaps .... (Speculating that an admin oversight had not removed name from roll)

NSW 1903 Electoral Roll for Canobolas, polling place Orange.

George Summers, letter carrier, of Orange (no further details)
NO others by that surname on the Orange roll.
