MAYES family

[cando]

William Mayes born Sept 1862 but may be recorded five years either side – he visited Australia with Elizabeth his wife around 1892 when their daughter Jane was born in Sydney

No birth registered in NSW for a Jane with parents Wm and Elizabeth.

Not having any luck with passenger information.

I can't locate Wm with wife Elizabeth and son Wm G. born c1894 on the 1910 USA census.

Hello Maghergall, I have lots of information about the Mayes family, less about the Martin family in Australia.  I am related to both the Mayes and Martin families and have current contact with the Mayes and Martin families in Northern Ireland (incl clergy).  Specifically I am related to the Mayes connection which departed for Australia on the Balranald on 11 March 1924.  If you are interested, let me know.

Hi

the Aust. contributors on this post have been very helpful !

As mentioned on previous post I would be interested in the way in which family relates in history to the local parish church,

look forward to hearing from you

Alex Martin wrote a diary when he was on the Affric and it was published  after he died in WW1 , he went out with other members of the family,

Hello again, I have in front of me a book of poems and letters by William Mayes - the one who died in 1942 (brother of Robert Mayes who was on the Balranald).  The book was published privately in 2008 by the Martin family who refer to William as Uncle William, as did my branch of the Mayes family.  I know that part of the Martin family are directly related to your Alex Martin through Samuel and Emily Martin.  I think your Alex was Sam's uncle.

I can email one of my Irish cousins and see what I can dig out.  They all still know each other.  Would that help?

Hi there,

I have just started reading this after a friend asked if I had family history in WWI. Anyway my 1hr of research has led me here and my mum is the granddaughter of Thomas and Jeannie (Snr) Mayes. I have no idea about most of the people that are mentioned in this thread but my mum knows a lot of them and is very interested. She has visited Ireland and knows most of the relatives in Australia so she would love if you would contact me. My nana was Jeannie (jnr) and she died in Sydney in June 2000.
Kookaburragirl I would especially love to hear from you. Mum seems to think that maybe you might be related to Bob or William.

Thanks heaps

Heidi
