Edward W.Spokes

[majm]

May I confirm Merlin’s sighting:

NSW ER 1903, COWPER, polling at Yarras 
(71 enrolled to vote at that polling place)

Edward SPOKES, of Cowar, a farmer
NO others of that surname
NO person with surname DOYLE
NO person with the surname LOVELOCK

NSW ER 1903 COWPER, polling at Rolland’s Plains
NO person named Edward DOYLE
NO person with the surname LOVELOCK
NO person named Edward SPOKES, but there’s others with that surname at Rolland’s Plains.


I have had a look at
NSW ER 1878 THE HASTINGS
No person named Edward DOYLE
No person with surname LOVELOCK
John SPOKES, freehold, Rolland’s Plains, Wilson River  (in the Port Macquarie Police District)
John SPOKES, junior, residence, Rolland’s Plains, Wilson River (Port Macquarie PD )
James SPOKES, residence, Rolland’s Plains, Wilson River  (Port Macquarie PD)

Cheers,  JM

I take it you havent seen the NSW Police Gazette for 27th Oct 1875.I am actually doing this tree for a relative of the other person involved in this offence.Not only that there was a"result".Now unless you can show me another Edward W Spokes with proof that he was the one involved I have no option but to go with the details I have been given.Have nice day Regards Jaro

Now I have a really curly one and am hoping someone can help.In 1875 Edward Spokes served a short prison sentence (see NSW Police Gazette 27th Oct 1875 page 315) but after he served his time he seems to have completely vanished,I think he may have changed his name - going for either Doyle, his biological father or Lovelock after William Lovelock who married Fanny Spokes in 1858. If anyone has any info on this theory I would be very interested.

^Nonsense^ 

1903 NSW ERoll:
Edward SPOKES Cowar, Yarras, NSW - farmer

May I mention that you do have other options.  You do not need to 'go with the details you have been given'.   One of those options is to actually conduct the research personally, with the physical records held at the State Records and at State Library, rather than with  online commercial websites keyword searchings.

Hi there Jane,

May I contrast your remarks that I am quoting in this post, with your remarks from my post immediately before this one. 

It confuddles me when I read the expression 'little snippets' as I do not consider quoting from an electoral roll to be a snippet of information, but rather simply an official sighting, at the same level of researching as say the sightings in the NSW Police Gazettes. 

I do not see any benefit by providing you with any further options, other than to suggest you go through the live links listed at RChat's Resources Board.   

Cheers,  JM

May I mention that I have sighted the Police Gazettes and that I have also sighted an image noting that Edward Spoke’s appeal  30th October 1875  “Conviction sustained with £20 costs"

It was a serious crime against the person.  The victim was a 16 year old female.

The sentence was 5 months in Port Macquarie gaol. 

I add
Sophia COLEMAN is recorded as the mother for Clara COLEMAN, whose birth was registered in the Macleay River district, with NSW BDM ref # 13743  The name of the father of Clara is not displayed at the online index.

Hi Does anyone have any information on Edward W Spokes? He was born in 1854 I think in Port Macquarie N.S.W. Australia.I would appreciate anything concerning him as I have no parent details ,no marriage details or children.Regards Jaro

..........I am actually doing this tree for a relative of the other person involved in this offence.Not only that there was a"result".

Are you suggesting that Clara Coleman was a 'result' .... perhaps if you could type up all the information from her NSW birth certificate there may be some RChatters who may offer some further suggestions for your ongoing enquiries on behalf of Clara's relative. 

Cheers,  JM
