WOWWW!!!!THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME AND DOING THAT!! Is there any way of finding out what nationality the family were??

Hi Alana.

Births registered on "cd" for South Aus. start at 1842.

Cant see a birth registered for a Henry George HEMSON.

This surname could have many variations ....HEMPSON/HENSOM/HANSOM/HANSON.

Have checked early passenger shipping into South Australia ( 1803 - 1853 ) ....but there is no reference to the surname HEMSON

http://www.familyhistorysa.info/

From this link ( above ) you can search for passenger shipping and early South Australia births
see:... "Search South Australian births 1836-54" ...HEMSON


Results: The data you entered, HEMSON , is not in this database.



It may pay to purchase the marriage cert of Henry George HEMSON to Annie HILLIER.....to see if his birth place/country is listed.

I will continue to help search for a birth for him......but i have checked 5 states so far ( N.S.W.....VIC.....Q.L.D...TASMANIA....SOUTH AUSTRALIA and found nothing.




Perhaps someone else may find something.

Thanks again, I also have checked for the birth cret and it seems to not have been registered either yet, all his brothers and sisters have. All the family were born in Kapunda so I dont think any of them were born overseas. Family members have been told that the family were aboriginal but it wasnt allowed to be spoken of and my great great nanna Alice Bridget Johnson born 29/09/1883as meant to have been with Herbert BUT he was a married man so nothing was recorded. I just really want to know what nationality they were!!

Thank you once again.

yep thats the one there. Do you know anyway I would be able to find the nationality?

TonyOz

TonyOz Report 12 Jun 2010 09:07

Hi Alana.

Sorry, but cannot say where you might find his nationality.

U.K ( England ) records ( I.G.I ) "INTERNATIONAL GENEALOGICAL INDEX" show that there is a surname HEMSON...( Over 240 references to this surname from various counties)

It would be worthwhile to purchase at least the marriage cert.......HEMSON to HILLIER, as this should show where he was born.

I am a bit confused - Thelma May Johnson was Herbert's first wife, yet she was born in 1911? And he had a 2nd wife Emily with whom he had children prior to that date???

I thought Thelma was Herbert's daughter, not his wife?

Anyway here are some newspaper snippets...from NLA Newspapers site

The Advertiser, Wednesday 6 August 1902
A WHARF ACCIDENT.
Herbert Hemson, 22 years of age, of Queenstown, was admitted to the Port Adelaide Casualty Hospital on Monday evening in a state of unconsciousness. He had been engaged in the construction of the new
wharf for the E. E., A., and C. Telegraph Company at Port Adelaide, and whilst pile driving was struck on the head with a block pulley,. which fell from a crane. He is now progressing satisfactorily.

The Advertiser, Tuesday 15 August 1911
HEMSON.-On the 12th August, at Spring-street. Queenstown, Allan Albert, the beloved child of Albert and Annie Hemson, aged 5 months.
"Gone to be with Jesus, which is far better."
Buried at Woodville Cemetery.

The Advertiser, Saturday 19 August 1911
NORMANN-HEMSON.-On the 15th April, at Baptist Church, Alberton, by Mr. M. L. Murphy, H. J. Alfred Normann, youngest son of Mrs. Shellard, and the late E. R. Normann, of Edithburgh to Ethel Eileen, youngest daughter of Mrs. Hemson, Queenstown, and the late H. G. Hemson, of Kapunda.

I note it says youngest daughter - did the other 2 girls die young?

The Advertiser, Saturday 24 August 1918
BETSCHARTT-HEMSON.-On the 27th July, at the residence of the bride's mother, bv the Rev. H. Estcourt Hughes. Carl F. Betschartt, Helvetia Nursery, Kapunda, to Emily Beatrice, eldest daughter of Mrs. A. Hemson, Long-street, Queenstown.

Similarly - did Mary Ann and Agnes die as children?

The Advertiser, Monday 30 April 1917
HEMSON.-In loving memory of Henry George Hemson, of Kapunda, and Bagot's Well, died April 30, 1889.-Inserted by his loving wife and family, Long street, Queenstown.

The Advertiser, Saturday 11 May 1889
The Kapunda Herald of Friday says—"Mr. John Hemson died yesterday of typhoid fever contracted in the Barrier district. He has left a wife and nine children. Ten days earlier his brother, Mr. H. E Hemson, died, and he also left a wife and nine children." [I suspect this is H.G., given the dates]
