Hello Steve,

You helped me with info a couple of months ago and I am hoping you can help me again - this time with the Rodger branch of the family in Adelaide. In particular, I would like information re Jessie Rodger (b.9/9/1884) who was married twice: first to a Mr Buyer/Beyer?, then to Norman Owen.

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Steven,
I wonder if you would mind doing a death records lookup for me. The name is Violet Christine Satterley, date of death: 01/08/1969. I'm not sure of the place of death, just that it was Sth Australia. I'm hoping to find the names of her parents.

Thank you so much
Carol

Hi Carol
Sorry i am so late,but Violets fathers name was Walter Schut she was married to Albert Ernest Satterley 4-5-1908 at Pt Pirie. she was 16 when she married.
She died at Lockleys and lived at Woodville Gardens when she died,she was 77 years old when she passed away.
I cant find any info on her mother.

Hi Steven,
Please could you check shipping records for S. Australia
for
Joseph Jackman and his wife Millicent Hannah Jackman
could have been 2 children Mary and Thomas. They were
in England for 1861 census but were in Australia by 1868 when they had another child.
Thank you very much Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth
Sorry but my shipping records only go to 1856,so i am unable to find when they came to SA.

JACKMAN Joseph b: c1830 d: 19.9.1917
bd: Keyneton SA arr: by 1878 0cc: Teacher

m: Millicent' b: c1832 d: 11.12.1919 ch: Joseph
(c1862-1940)', Flora A. (c1883-1911)', Annie Evans

If you need any more info on the children let me know.

Thank you Steven for the information, could you find out hope many children they had in Australia. I know that Charles John was born in 1872 he was my husband's grandfather.
Thanks again Elizabeth

Hi Steven,

I am trying to find when siblings William c1858, Ellen c1860 born Scotland & Samuel Meldrum c1864 Ireland, arrived in Sth Australia, they would have arrived before 1885 as this was when the 1st marriage occurred in Victoria.

There is also a possibility that they had a half-brother James Meldrum c1846, can you also check to see if he arrived in Sth Australia about the same time.

Hi Mel75
There was a James Medrum arrive in SA in 1867 also there was a Samuel Meldrum and Helen Meldrum arrive in 1883.Thats all the info i could find...
If you are in SA you can go to the history section of the State Library and look at the shipping records for those years.

Steve

Steven,

Thanks for that, do they have ages listed, was there a Coupar/Cooper Meldum listed instead? It's just a bit strange, if that is his siblings, when did he come to Australia, maybe he came to Victoria.

Ellen was often known as Helen, so there is a chance of this being the same.

Sorry, I don't live in Sth Aust
