Find Ancestors

Can I offer a VERY belated 'THANK YOU' to all of you who helped me trace Catharine Walsh's family. I am sorry I didn't get back to you all before - am doing this now as I feel sure you'd all like to know the outcome of all your research: I was able to unite an adopted very old school friend with half-siblings she never knew existed. She is absolutely delighted to learn about her birth family.
Thank you all, once again.

I cannot see his birth, or a birth for Roy Coxeter - so perhaps overseas?

Have you considered trying to contact Jonathan or Helen?

Many thanks for this Patchem. Very interesting.

I'm still looking for the Marriage though.

Jon Coxeter-Smith is on facebook, linkedin and 192.com.

Many thanks Mike. This would appear to be the Death of Catharine - also the birth of one of her children.
The Catharine Walsh Ihave was born on the 16 Feb 1922 also, but with no middle name on my file.
I'm wondering iff she married a Roy Smith and somehow the 'Coxeter'hyphen was inserted at a later date. But certainly with the birth of Jonathan A, it shows his mother's maiden name as Walsh.

If you find her marriage would you let me know.

Many thanks.

Coxeter-Smith Jonathan A - mother's maiden name Walsh - Surrey N.W. 5g 811

This birth cert might be interesting

From someone's tree which may or may not be correct ...

Maybe this is the death you refer to but as your Catherine had no middle name ..... ????



Name: Catherine Mary Coxeter-smith
Birth: 16 Feb 1922
Death: Dec 1997 - Isle of Wight, Isle of Wight, England and Wales

Hello again - the Australian trail seems to have been a false one. The new inf that has emerged verbally is that Catharine WALSH married (Roy?) Coxeter-Smith some time after 1946. I have tried several sites but cannot find any evidence of this marriage. The other inf was that she died some time around 1997. Again, I can find no evidence to support this.
I'd be grateful if anyone could offer help here.
Many thanks.

Hello Folks - no, I don't think Catherine had a middle name.
I am now waiting to hear from ther Nat Library - and I've also contacted the West Australian newspaper asking that they put a piece in.
Still in hope.........

Many thanks for all your help and suggestions.

Just had another dig around....Catherine and Mary Margaret (shipping list) were listed as 'teachers'

I have found a 'Margaret Mary' on the ER's listed as a teacher in Freemantle. No luck with Catherine :, except a few entries that list 'a' Catherine as 'home duties' -(

Not convinced that the Catherine Ann* Walsh is the same person as she wasnt born with a middle name?

Cont:

just thought ...the 'West Australian Newspaper' (on-line) has a 'Can You Help' page every Monday. Worth a try.

Valerie (WAus)

Joyce.... the 'West Australian State Library' (on-line) would be your best bet ...they should find her on the electoral rolls from c1950. (possibly up until the time of marriage found with TAMLIN).

If they cannot find her then try the 'National Library of Aus' ..(Canberra) ..it covers ALL Australian States.

Valerie (WAus)

Hello again - from all the inf I have, it appears that Catharine did not have any other Christian names.

Would it be worth my while putting a note in 'Find Living Relatives' with 'Australia' in my title?

Many thanks.

Many thanks for this Valerie. I'll get in touch with the Librarian Service.
I don't think Catharine had a middle name, but I'll give it a try - one never knows!
Joyce

Hi Joyce

There is a marriage for a Catherine Anne Walsh to Leslie John TAMLIN in Perth 1965. (details on 'Reverse Marriages' site)
(couldn't see any TAMLIN deaths -to present day).

The 'West Aus State Library' (on-line) has an 'Ask a Librarian' service ...they may be able to find her/them from electoral rolls.

Valerie (WAus)

Many thanks to you both, Gins and Beverley W. I'll report back when I get some news.

Marriages online in W.A. only go up to 1936.
You could try the newspaper records

http://www.bdm.dotag.wa.gov.au/_apps/pioneersindex/default.aspx?uid=9125-2873-5779-1388

Try giving them a ring

The names are certainly the same, so I'd say it's a good bet to say that this is Catharine's parents' marriage - and thank you SO MUCH Gins for finding a shipping record. I'll have to get on to Australia now and see if I can find Catharine, or any sign of her marriage. I'll try through this website first.
Many thanks once again.

Is this the parents marriage?
