Re: Donald from Argentina to England.

You are a joy Julie. Thank you so much.

Thomas William DONALD (b. London 1855) was in Merchant navy from around 1870-5 for 18 years. I have tried the various obvious sites on archives database etc but thought if it is not too much trouble if you could tell me if the records of such people would appear on your database?

Thanks very much for the info on the Whittle family. Peter & Emily were born in Australia.

Sorry Reid was the name Alexander and Mary Helen Reid Thanks for the information you have already given me Sheila

Hi Adele

Nothing with that name. Do you know his year of birth and possibly where he was coming from, this would help narrow down transcription errors.

Regards
Julia

Would it be possible for you to look on the incoming passenger lists for a Juda Shantall. He possibly came to England twice but I can find no record.

Many Thanks
Mrs A. Bayley

Hi Cara

Sorry, but he does not appear on these records.

Julia

Hi Julia

Was wondering if you could help find my great grandfather. His name is Horatio Nelson Straker born 11/3/1883 Bridgetown Barbados and at some point in ended up in Cardiff, where he married Nora Dale in 1915.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Julia,

My gggg grand parents JOHN and ELIZABETH HOLLETT went to AUSTRALIA and NEWZEALAND for some years before returning to DEVON.

My ggg grand father and some siblings were born out there,

WILLIAM HOLLETT
dob 19th DEC 1859
BARRACKS, PRINCE BRIDGE, MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA

JOHN HOLLETT
1858-1860
Military hospital, Melbourne, Australia

ELIZABETH HOLLETT
dob 1863,
AUCKLAND, NEWZEALAND

ELIZABETH HOLLETT 1866-1867 Newzealand

I know they were in Newzealand in 1866 and back in Devon in 1868

(My ggg grand father told a story of sailing round Cape Horn on a Wind Jammer)

Can you shine any light on any of this, when they returned etc,
much appreciated,

Carla

Thanks for this I am looking for Jean Stewart Reid who came back from Australia Sydney I think to Southampton 1956 did she sail with anybody else. Also I have found out that Alexander and his wife Mary Helen went from England to Brisbane in 1930 please could you find them coming over to UK that year they only came for holidaysorry I hav not got much on this! Sheila

Thomas William Donald (dob 1855 London) his wife Annie Donald (dob 1865 Kendal) and infant children Horace and Elesia born in New Australia Colony, Paraguay. Departure from South America , so likely to be from Argentina, destination was London (Southampton?) I suspect it was 1896, a year either side is possible.

Thank you for your kindness

Wendy
