Julie,

Just another quick note. You might already know this but I found a death record for:

Mathew M Burrows d. 1927 in Balmain South, NSW father Daniel Burrows (aged 62 years)

this was on the NSW BMD's website and you can buy the death certificate online - it might give you a birthplace?

Hi Fifer,

My area of expertise is Australia and I really don't know much about New Zealand genealogy.  A suggestion would be to contact the New Zealand Society of Genealogists for advice at:

http://www.genealogy.org.nz/

Or have a look through the "New Zealand Genealogy Made Easy" website:

Just by chance when searching this site for Potter, I found a reference in the Otago Witness newspaper of 1919 for the death of Helen Potter, daughter of Alexander and Margaret Potter:

Good luck in your research.

I would really appreciate a look up for Caroline Bell, possibly died at Collingwood  circa 1880. She would have been around 60yrs old.Thanks

[Brisgirl]

Hi Melanie,

The most likely entry in the index is:

BELL, Caroline Susan   
Father: Adams
Mother: U  [ie. unknown]
Age at Death: 61
Death Place: U
Reg Year: 1882   
Reg State: Victoria
Ref Number: 1064

The only other possible entry, quite a bit earlier, is:

BELL, Caroline
Father: Joseph
Mother: Smith Ellen
Birthplace: Hoth [ie. Hotham]
Reg Year:   1874
Reg State: Victoria
Ref Number:   11089

No age given for this entry.

I hope this helps.

Cheers, Brisgirl

Hi Rachel,

I was wondering if you could help, or point me in the correct direction for, finding out what happened to my Gt gt gt GMother (Isabel Cruickshank, married name Booth) who was transported to Tasmania onboard the Hector in Oct 1835. I have Tasmanian Archives few details of her behaviour until 1839/40, but after that nothing. Is there any details on what convicts did after their sentence (7 years in her case), marriage, death. I don't think she'd have come back, she was around 40 when she was sent over.

Any details you can help with would be great.

Thanks,

Grothenwell
