Pengilly family of Parkes, NSW

[sue smith]

Bit of a long shot but here goes!

Looking to trace any descendants of Archibald Bertram Edgar Pengilly of Parkes, NSW, Australia (1917-1964) and his sisters Margaret Almina Micklewright (nee Pengilly) (1920-1960) and Mary Ellen Pengilly (1921-2007).

Margaret’s children (Margaret / Sharon b 1951 and Pamela b approx 1953) moved to England with their father after her death. Am researching on behalf of one of their family and would love to make contact with Australian connections.

I know Leonie (Archibald’s daughter?) was trying to trace Sharon and Pamela a few years ago but have been unable to make contact.

Thank you Jamjar. The second Archibald (d 1964) is the correct guy and Magdalene was his wife. I’d traced their death records and Mary (his sister)’s headstone but hadn’t got the funeral notices or knew how to do it so that’s very helpful.

The first Archibald is a relation, I think his Uncle but can’t get NSW BMD’s to load today to check.

It’s the generations following I’m really after and of course trying to navigate Australian records which are closed for 50/100 years. Been PM’d a couple of resources so going to have a hunt there too. All much appreciated.

I know that you are looking to connect with living relatives, but the more information put up here the more likely anyone looking for the same family connections, when doing a Google search, will find what they are looking for.

There iis a probate packet for Archibald Bertram Edgar PENGILLY at NSW state archives http://www.rootschat.com/links/01omj/

I could photograph this for you next time I am there.   It should contain a death cert, a will and other useful family info.

I’d not thought about helping others make connections by posting extra info / relationships. That’s a really good point!

Managed to confirm the first Archibald was the uncle of the Archibald whose family I’m trying to trace. 7 brothers and sisters from the uncles generation. I’m assuming that Leonie (perhaps short for Athlone), Warwick and Kristine (named on their Aunt’s headstone) are Archibald’s children but there may well be other siblings I’m not aware of.

Re Micklewrights: Mick Micklewright was born in England which is presumably why he took his daughters back there following his wife’s death. We are trying to trace any family who may know more about why that happened to get my friend some answers. Potentially have a lead for the presumed son of one of the 3 so hoping to follow that up.

Thanks again for all your help. Much appreciated.

That would be fantastic Ros. I’d be very very grateful. There is a very good reason behind me trying to track all this info down, so would really help!

A pleasure to help Sue

There was a Gilbert Francis PEGILLY born to Thomas and Mary who is buried in PEAK HILL, which is close to PARKES. He died aged 12, 1926:

Not sure if I’m repeating information now, but I think this may be the mother at PARKES cemetery:
