Help please: William Tomsey CREECH

[sharon rothery]

Having taken a break for a couple of weeks due to the frustration and endlessness of everything,I am now back to looking :S.
I have found(Thanks to a very helpful person on the Trova AU forums) that Mary Louisa "Power" was in fact born LEWIS in 1861 in Collingwood,and a few more details.

Thanks for the help and input,I have no doubt I will be back with further requests for help

Would you like to share the information with us please.  Every little snippet helps us to help you.

We are no wiser as to whether or not the 1887 death for Charles CREECH was your Wm.  I think this death needs to be researched further. Not a commonly occurring surname, age and father's name was a match.  Just my opinion.

Have you considered purchasing this cert, which can be done online and immediately downloaded?

In case you didn't read the links I posted previously....

Hi
The information I have is for Mary Louisa and her siblings.

Bessie Bernard (registered as LEWIS, mother Betsey Anna BERNARD)
Born 6 May 1857

Mary Louisa (registered as LEWIS mother Elizabeth Hannah BERNARD)
Born 17 Aug 1861

Laura (probably LEWIS but I can’t find a birth reg.)
Born 25 Sep 1862

Harry (registered as POWER mother Elizabeth BERNARD)
Born 16 Feb 1865 (? hard to read)

Emily Morrish (registered as POWER mother Elizabeth BENARD)
Born 1869

Sarah Morrish (registered as POWER mother Elizabeth BERNARD)
Born 1871
(Father’s name given as Martin but mother is Elizabeth BERNARD so his recorded name might be an error. Also see my comments below)

Violet Mabel (registered as POWER mother Elizabeth Hannah BARNARD)
Born 1874

The oldest four children were made wards of the state in 1867 as neglected children, and Laura and Louisa were readmitted in 1874. The registers are digitised online on the PROV website.

To search within the relevant series, go here http://tinyurl.com/p9p2jl5
Put 4527 in the VPRS box
Put POWER in the "With any of the words" box

Scroll through the results to find each child and click on their name. On the next page you will see either PDF or JPG, click on that and the digisted record will download.

You are looking for:

Louisa POWER (No. 2315) 1867 (this is Mary Louisa)
Laura POWER (No. 2316) 1867
Harry POWER (No. 2317) 1867
Bessie Bernard POWER (No. 2380) 1867

Laura POWER (No. 7775) 1874
Louisa POWER (No. 7776) 1874

The 1867 records are difficult to read, but the same notes are repeated on the 1874 records and they are much clearer. The children are referenced to each other on the records.

Father Thomas POWER, a miner, supposed to be in NZ on 16/5/67. Mother Elizabeth H. POWER an attendant in the schools on 16/5/67. (the earlier documents name her as Eliz. Hannah)

Just a note about the name of the father on Sarah's birth reg. If you have a look at Trove, there was a man named Martin MORRISH around at the time so would be worth consideration as a possible father for those two girls. The 1874 notes still reference back to Thomas being in NZ in 1867 with no update so I think it unlikely that he was the father of the later children.


I know this is not really of help regards William Tomsey Creech.  I have found mention of a William Tomsey Creech in London,before my W T Creech was born,so maybe a relative,the name is not common and the tomsey at a guess as come down from maybe a females surname.

I will purchase some certificates once I have the funds to do so,bit strapped at the moment.

I am trying to trace William Tomsey CREECH,he was born 1849 Marylebone London UK,  He is later listed in Australia as marrying Mary Louisa Power in Victoria.  Mary Louisa remarried in 1889 in Victoria and was listed as widow and previous husband deceased in 1887.  I have some of Williams navy record from England but the details are few and far between,I have been unable to trace him,William and Mary had 3 children together the last ebing born in 1886 in Victoria.  His life and death in Australia are a complete mystery.

I've obviously misunderstood your request and reply#18.  I thought 'a few more details' were about Wm.  I'm sure we could have assisted you with information about his wife if you had asked

You 'mystery' may have been solved if you had been in a position to purchase the 1887 CREECH death certificate.

It would appear we possibly had one of our chatters helping Sharon on this forum

Not having much luck finding a death record was he still in the navy ? maybe he died at sea

If he had three children in Victoria,  it's a bit hard to envisage that he was still in the Navy.

Could we please have the source and your details of William Tomsey CREECH's naval records.  I note in the 1871 census is is an Able Seaman aboard the ROYAL OAK moored off Naples.

In response to an email to MGC today.  Extremely fast service

I have queried the 31 years on their database as Charles CREECH's age on the death index was 37.  Possibly an error transcribing from old records to the database.
