Find Ancestors

Thanks Again Mejoy
two questions
I know very little about the geography of australia- though in the last couplwe of days I've learnt some place names in Victoria :-)
Where is Roya that leslie John died.

The last posting the last name was Chriss Enda Wfred Would that be male of female ? enda sounds female but wfred could be winifred or wilfred and chriss for christopher or christina?

what a lot of mcmahons in victoria!

Must have been having a very senior moment when I posted the last name, should have been Johnson and 2nd name Edna, so female, I have amended it.

Found these Inquests

Further to Roya, I am not sure, but it could be Royal Melbourne Hospital or Royal Park. As the above inquest doesn't give place of death, it is hard to say which one it is.

Dear Joy
what a lot to come back to
Haven't worked my way through it all yet, but was wondering about samlwalt.His mother died when he was 5 in 1895. I wonder if his father remarried a woman named winters.
will read through it all and perhaps come back again
thanks

Cant find a remarriage for Saml to ??Winters, as in a lot of cases, the person filling out the death certificates, just guestimates details!

Hi Joy
I think we should have been looking for a walter anderson to a winters marriage.my error.

Is there anyway of finding out more about john mcmahons siblings and parents, it seems that we have eliza who went out to australia and an anastasia who was prehaps a sister in law. I have a possible martin born 1829 but not where they lived before john arrived in liverpool.He was there in 1856 at the time of his marriage to Mary Ann Smith

Walt Saml's father was Samuel, looking at Walt Saml death record it looks like the person filling out his death, put his name instead of his fathers, or it could be mistranscribed!

Further to any McMahon siblings arriving in Australia, as we do not know John's mothers maiden name, it is all just possibilities, which cannot be used as factual.

Also found this death of a Jno McMahon, with fathers name Danl

dear joy
I thought we had discovered that his mothers surname was hayes or heyes

Hi scarey,

On page 2 MarieCelestes' possible death of John McMahon, states that we know that his father's name is Daniel from his marriage.

Strangely, the one I found today, was also born approx. the same year, that is why, we cannot verify which one is correct.

Both John McMahon deaths were in close proximity, in the inner suburbs of Melbourne.

The only was you can really find out who the correct John is, is to purchase a death certificate, they have a lot of information - usually they have parents names, where born, age, how long in colony, children living or deceased.

Joy

The one that had mary hayes as mother was in collingwood- the area where john and mary anns children were born. Eliza thorpe nee mcmahon had the same named parents and also lived in that area. perhpas I am just wanting it to fit so am ignoring the obcvious

scarey,

That's why I do not assume, any person, until I have confirmation.

There are a number of trees, which have names that are the same as mine, but born a few years apart, and similar birth places - what they have done, is combined them to make 1 person, so, unfortunately their trees are incorrect. I did contact the owner of the 3 trees, but as yet no-one has amended them accordingly.

By the way, this happens regularly.

I wont be on here for awhile, but will check when I am back

Joy
