I guess that Isabella Ivy is John William's wife and that is why the address is different

Thank you both.

A bit more on those marriages:


1908/1907
RACE
FISHBURN
COLES
CAROLINE E M
MOSMAN

6004/1908
RACE
FISHBURN
COLES
CAROLINE E M
SINGLETON

The numbers (1908/1907 etc.) are marked as registration numbers not dates ?? and although they appear to be in 2 districts, the marriages are both for the same couple ???

Margaret Race born 1852 died 1924 in NSW

Thanks Erika, it's a start.

There’s a death in NSW in 1938 for a George Edward Race, but no age on record on FMP

Two marriages in NSW for Fishburn Race. One 1907 in Mosman and the other 1908 lin Singleton

Can’t give any more detail as my subscription doesn’t stretch to it

Hello, help please on the following:

William Race marries Margaret Willis Dec q 1876 Houghton Le Spring. 1881 census as follows:

1881 census Lambton Street H Le Spring

William 29 coalminer Haswell
Margaret 28 Haswell
George Edward 3 H Le Spring
Fishburn 1 H Le Spring
Elizabeth 71 coal miner’s mother Howden Pans
Mary Race 37 sister Haswell
James F 33 brother coalminer Haswell coal miner married

William (occupation farmer) and family emigrate to Australia departing London 18 August 1887 arriving in Sydney 30 September 1887. Passengers William 37, Margaret 36, George Edward 9, Polly 44, Fishburn 7, Eley Jane (Elizabeth Jane) 2, John William 1. Polly is Mary, William’s sister. Doesn't have name of ship.

Don't need any details on James as I have a previous thread on his lifeline.

The above emigration is off family search which is the only site I have access to. Can anyone find any details of them after landing in Australia in 1887. I would have thought Fishburn Race name unusual but can't find anything.

Thank you very much - Marian
