South Australian Lookups Offer

[Kylee]

Hi folks, I can assist with lookups on South Australian Births 1842 - 1906 and Deaths 1842 - 1915. I have the cds at home and can give a fast response. I can also provide some great website addresses that have helped me with my own research.

Once a week I volunteer at a local library as a Genealogy assistant and can help with births 1906 - 1928 and marriages from 1842 - 1937. Unfortunately those requests will take longer!

Hi Kylee

I don't know if you would be able to help me at all, it's a bit of a 'shot in the dark'. I am trying to trace descendants of my fathers uncle who emigrated to Australia when young after 'getting a young girl into trouble'. I know that he married in Australia about 1930, but have no idea where.

His name was Clifford Henry Jones - born 10 Mar 1904, Llangollen, Wales. He married Florence Vera <surname unknown> - born 7 July 1912. And ...er.. that's all I know  :-

I do know they had a number of children, called Betty (b: 3 Dec 1933), Clifford, Dorothy May, Bryan, Florence Margaret, William Sealy, Kathleen, Desmond, Gail, Gay and Dennis.

Unfortunately I don't even know WHERE in Australia they went to - like a say, a needle in a haystack! But if you can provide me with anything, even useful Australian family tree links that may be of use, then I would be very grateful indeed.

Hi Craig, Unfortunately I cant help from home, my cds are too early. You missed my once a week library visit by one day! (Id been all day yesterday!)

I will try to get there next week sometime and I shall have a look for you. Unless someone else on this board has access to the cds from home and can help out?

Im sure something will turn up on them, although their children were born too late - think the cds only go up to 1928.

Keep ya fingers crossed

Kylee, how nice of you.
I have missing Bells in Australia, they emigrated from Surrey/London in the late 1870's have found some fo them but I am still missing Caroline Bell born 1846 Arthur Henry born 1844, Clarissa born 1855 Zante Claude born 1861, and Stanley Lawrence born 1863.
Any information about what happened to them would be great!

Hi Melaniejoy,

I had a look for you on my cds and none of them are on either births or deaths. Ive not found any deaths up to 1915, so when I get a chance at the local library next week Ill have a look at the deaths to 1928.

Sorry at this stage I am unable to help you.

Thanks Kylee, I knew they wouldn't be in births they were all born in the UK, but wondered about marriages, and deaths, thanks for looking!!

  ;)Dear Kylie

I have an Edward or Edmund MOSS with wife & 2 children (no names) arriving Pt Adelaide 6/7/1939. Not sure if he's mine or not. My Edward married 1845, aged 33 yrs. Are you able to do death lookup 1842 to 1845 to see if any Moss people died in Sth Aust, ie his wife & children, if there's lots don't worry.

Thanks Ruth

Hi Kylee. You may or may not have seen on a separate thread that we have now traced Clifford in Victoria. Just thought I would let you know to save you searching for something on my behalf that is not there! Many, many thanks for the offer though, I am really grateful.

Hi Kylee,

I am looking for William James Henry Bowles  born in the UK, he arrived in Australia sometime between 1886 (ish) he  was 18yrs then, and 1891.

He married a Fora Lowrie in Australia ( date unknown) and had three children by her they were:

Frederick Duncan Burwood Bowles, born c1891
Arthur Sidney Bowles, born c1893
Annie Isabel Lowrie Bowles.born c 1901

I haven't been able to find out when or where he arrived in Australia or his date of marriage to Flora. 
Most of the above info was obtained from his death cert (here in NZ)

Any info you may be able to add would be appreciated.
Regards,
kiwi.
