Find Ancestors

Thank you again, appreciated. Wishing you a merry xmas and a prosperous 2014 from sunny New Zealand.

Think you may have been looking for Wilfred Alfred Graham, his first name was William ,

Name: William Alfred Graham
Birth Date: 25 Feb 1882
Father's Name: John Graham
Mother's Name: Mary Jane Verril
Birth Place: Adelaide
Registration Place: Adelaide, South Australia
Page Number: 256
Volume Number: 276

A possibility??

Can someone please help me find a birth for MARY MONTGOMERY CAMPBELL (parents William and Mary ('J')?. Birth likely from 1877-1886 in and around the Central Cumberland or Liverpool area. She's not on the Aust BDM site, she was born in Australia.

I am having trouble also finding her husband's birth sometime around the same time as her's I assume, his name is Wilfred Alfred Graham. They were married in 1906 Perth.

Thank you for any help you may provide.

Aaaahhhh so there was no 'Frances' born to William and Mary. We finally have the three sons and four daughters as per Mary's obituary ( less the children who died when young).

Hope to find a little something on Mary's husband William who died in 1922 possibly Rookwood asylum.

Thank you

Batmansdaughter that is a treasure trove of information, great to see the name MONTGOMERY thank you so much for your time, appreciated. Do you know what sort of business that Campbell, Collins, Graham were involved in that went bankrupt.?

Do u think I'm right in thinking that Frances H A Campbell born 1878 Grafton district is right? Great how this family gave their children middle names and thank goodness.

So,

Annie Bolton Campbell married Richard James Collins

Margaret Rebecca Campbell married Harold Arthur (aka Tom) Walsh

Charlotte Campbell married Frederick Henry Johnson

Mary Montgomery Campbell married William Alfred Graham

Looks like the death is correct as this is the same address in 1963 that Margaret Rebecca gives,


WALSH Harold Arthur (Tom). —
September 14, 1952, at his residence,
49 Hamilton Road, Fairfield, dearly
loved husband of Margaret and dear
father of Edith (deceased), Jean
(Mrs. R. Pike), Margaret (Mrs. W.
Mollison), Joyce (Mrs. L. Joy), and
Harold, aged 66 years.

And this Harold's?

This is the only trace at the mo of their marriage that I can find, it's from the Trove.

I'll keep looking but with Mary's middle name and with William Alfred Graham being made bankrupt in 1930 with David Campbell and Richard Collins I would guess this is the correct marriage.

Looks like the sons death,

Address is Rliey Street.

Living with him is William Samuel Graham AND Mary MONTGOMERY Graham!!!! Looks like we found Mrs Graham!!

Hi Ginns looking at your post above for Frances Campbell I don't think it right only because from Mary's obituary (the mother) it mentions Mrs Graham (Penrith) and from the nsw bdm looks like Frances married Alexander Graham in 1893. Her birth could be Frances H A Campbell in 1878 in Grafton district which is only a year after the family arrived in Australia.

Is there a death notice or Will/probate for William Campbell 1922 Liverpool NSW area possibly Rookwood asylum.

Thank you to all who are helping me piece together and some of the wonderful finds.
