Hi Cherilyn, I've tried looking myself but would you be able to help me with relatives I believe emigrated to Australia, info I have is
James Challinor born abt 1880 England died
Elizabeth Challinor born abt 1880 England died 1944 Maitland NSW
Charles Challinor born abt 1902 England died 1958 Maitland NSW
Gertrude Challinor born abt 1909 England died
James Challinor born abt 1919 Maitland NSW died 1992 Tamworth NSW

I have found them on 1911 census in England but can't find when they travelled to Australia, death info is off another family tree but would like to confirm they are my family

thank you in anticipation
Linda

Hi sorry I haven't been checking here lately!

I think the burials Chris found are the right ones - I suspect your post has the deaths moved down for James & Elizabeth? He died 1944 (son of Chas & Emma) and she in 1958 (daughter of Richard & Mary). Son Charles died in 1955 also in Maitland.

I am off to work now but will check back later.

Cheers
Cherilyn

Here is Charles' WWII enlistment I'd say - wife as next of kin?

CHALLINOR CHARLES : Service Number - N442432 : Date of birth - 04 Dec 1902 : Place of birth - LIVERPOOL NSW : Place of enlistment - WEST MAITLAND NSW : Next of Kin - CHALLINOR MAY

Here is his marriage:

CHALLINOR CHARLES
SCHOFIELD MAY
WEST MAITLAND

His death is also noted at NAA RecordSearch - something to do with Veterans Affairs:
CHALLINOR Charles - N442432 ACMF; Year of Death - 1955; Crematorium - Beresfield NSW

It would appear that James & Elizabeth might have had another child in NSW:
CHALLINOR JAMES : Service Number - NX83596 : Date of birth - 22 Jan 1919 : Place of birth - WEST MAITLAND NSW : Place of enlistment - PADDINGTON NSW : Next of Kin - CHALLINOR JAMES [father]

James snr's address is Victoria St, West Maitland. James jnr lived at Tamworth.

His marriage:
33586/1942
CHALLINOR JAMES
CAMPBELL IRENE ALICE
TAMWORTH

See http://www.naa.gov.au/collection/search/ to view his service record.

James' brother William died in the AIF in WWI. This doc has more details of his family.

Thanks Cherilyn :)

I always forget that I don't get a notification for threads on here :(

and thanks to Chris too, just working my way through the info :)

Hello Cherilyn
I'm still looking for information for Alexander Spence. I think I have more information for him when he left Ireland. It looks like he was still here in 1914 according to court records. He may have left approx 1915. I know that leaves him a fairly old man to emigrate giving that he was born 1856 :-S
Regards
Aspen

Hi Aspen

Remind me again about Alexander...what page of this thread was your post on please??

:-) :-)

Cherilyn
Not sure of what page as it was so long ago. I will give the info again.
Alexander Spence born 1856. Parents were Alexander Spence and Mary Jane Hamilton. He was born in Milltown Raphoe Co Donegal and later lived in Beltony Raphoe Co Donegal, a short distant from Milltown. I can find him in the 1901 census but not in the 1911. I have court records up to 1914 and I believe it was him. Usually drunk was the charge. On his army records, it mentioned he had taken to drink!
Now it looks like he left Ireland 1914/5
I was told he had a sheep station. He was about 58 or 59 when he left, albeit he had his date of birth 1860 on the census and army papers. This is a strange age to leave. I know his mother died 1915 He was not married.
I was told that when he died, money was sent back to Ireland. I don't know how much, when and who all received it. Alexander was one of eleven.
If he made a Will that would be a help. The names of his siblings are,
David, Elizabeth, Thomas, John, Mary Jane, William, James, Ellen, Anne(died age 15) and Henry
Kind regards
Aspen :-D

Happy New Year Aspen :-)

Sorry I did look into this at the time but must have forgotten to reply!

No luck - without knowing which state of Australia he settled in it is very difficult. No clear leads I'm afraid.

Sorry again :-(
