Hi David,
As I have suggested, what might be the best way for all to see the death certificate's information would be for you to type the information from them.

Sending them just to me means I am the only person who can see them and remember, this is a great team site ;D

If you can just take time to look at each heading and type word for word what is under it, that might help. You may not post entire documents on the public board for reasons of copyright.

Elizabeth A Lewis and Charles Lewis arrived on the ship Ontario July 1854
Index to Assisted British Immigration 1839-1871 book 11 page 46
I have a digital copy of the page but it is so hard to make out,the info came from my relative contact in Aus and I'm guessing it is easier to read from a physical copy.

Hi Sharon Wow! I presume this arrival was to Melbourne? I am about to lose my computer to the kids so I can not follow your information up until the weekend...or put in my footy tips grrrrrr!

From earlier post from Cando (#24) We appear to have Elizabeth ANN (not Hannah...maybe Anna or Annah all along???) marrying Charles Thomas Lewis in 1848 which according to my inherited notes has her at 15yo. They arrive in 1854, Mary Louisa born 1861 and Charles dying in the same year. The plot thickens.... Laura was born 25th Sept 1862 hmmmmmmmmm???????

No marriage record for Elizabeth and Thomas Power, although stated as 1860 on Harry's birth registration... looks like I have to order more death & birth registrations.

Regards David

Sharon thank you! Have added this to the to do list! Interesting...if correct puts TR back in Melbourne just prior to second intervention of removing Louisa and Laura and b4 last child birth (Violet) who has "Thos" listed as father. Hmmmmmmm and all in an old stomping ground. But the surname Power was very common back in the day! Thanks again David

Hi Shron and David,  I am a G grandaughter of Laura Russell.  It was only within the last mother I stumbled on the State ward files for Laura Louisa and Harry.  Laura married a George Stuart Packer.  The family has been a mystery and finding this post has been an absolute treasure.  I did find an article for the Death of a Thomas Power 25 Sept 1881 at Aldgate Pump Hotel.  Laura and George traveled between NZ and Melbourne, Aust. having children born in each country.  I have been trying to find my g fathers siblings which has not been easy.  They were never a family to keep in contact.  Laura was red head which we have only recently found out.  She is buried here in Wanganui NZ as is her son George my grandfather.(he was born in Melbourne) they traveled with circus and we think with the horses.  Laura was a beautiful singer as was her daughter but we think in the berlesque style as the daughter Bridie married, had a child who was kept by her fathers family and forbidden to associate with her mothers family.  We also had horse jockeys and were told that Lauras brother Harry was involved with horses.
I would really like to be able to get in touch away from this feed and have contact with you both regarding our connections with Laura, Louisa and Harry
It has taken years to try and piece Laura and Georges life and now I am discovery Laura's siblings.
I live in NZ
Regards
Karina
