Find Ancestors

Hi Louisa

I am trying to trace an Ernest Farthing who died on a boat either to or from Australia. He was born around the late 1800's I think.

Thank you for your kindness.

Regards
Caroline

Hi Urban Girl,

I am looking for Janet Hancock who married (1878)William Jay (he died in 1884), I do not know if she reverted to her maiden name, perhaps she remarried. They had 3 children only one living after 1900 Lucy Janet Jay (b.1880 brisband qld).

I would be grateful if you would have alook.

Thankyou
Julie

Hi Louisa,

When you get a moment could you please look up the electoral rolls for me.

I have a number of ancestors from the same family but could you see if you can find:-

Gertrude Annie Town as a single person and then after she married Gertrude Annie Loving and her husband Cyrus Loving. They lived in Queensland and NSW.

If this is a success would it be alright to ask for some more (I sound like Oliver twist!) please?

Many thanks
Carl

Hi trish,

You are most welcome. I hope the cert gives you more clues.

regards, Louisa

Hi Leonie,

still no luck sorry. maybe he did not enrol to vote within that time frame.

regards, Louisa

Hello Louisa
THank you so much for doiing this search for me. I had not seen this William before, and am looking forward to finding more out about him. I'm going to get a marriage certificate, and that will confirm whether or not John was his father, and I will be able to move forwardw with more certainty.
I so appreciate your help and think you are very generous and kind.
Best wishes
Trish

is the archive search for Tasmania, I had a quick look and there are a couple of the Coles listed on there. I have never oredered a record so dont know many details on it. Also i have found some deaths recorded in VIC before (god knows why lol)

Good Luck, hope I helped a bit. There are quite a few Coles in Tas I was surprised

Regards, Louisa

Hi Elizabeth,

You are more then welcome. Yes it is not simple is it. thats why i am doing look ups, I need a break from my tree lol. Good Luck

regards, Louisa

Hi Louisa

When you are next doing lookups, could you look for the COLE family of Oyster Bay Tasmania ?

Thomas Cornelius Guy Cole and his wife Gwendoline Marguerite had five children according to his WW1 records, but I cannot access any Tas records to find out their names. WW1 records indicate their address was Oyster Bay.

Di in Sydney

Hi Louisa

Thanks for all that. Lots of info to pour through. Ella died in 1926 and Herbert died in 1921 and Maude seems to have travelled around quite a lot after that. Apparently she was with her sister Bessie Tripp around 1945.

Will have to trace the Abbotsford Tripps - could be family. Also the Elmore Ellertons as Maude was there in 1936.

One answer leads to many questions!

Many thanks for all your hardwork.

Good Luck, Louisa

Hi Leonie,

no luck sorry. When and where was he born and who are his parents. or did he come to Australia and if so when. maybe he was under just thomas Browning?

Regards, Louisa

Hi Trish,

this thread is for look ups in australia sorry. As far looking for Williams father, do you know who his mother is? if so find his parents marriage record and purchase it. It may have more info to narrow down your search, little a middle name etc.

Or if you live in england visit the parish records office and look through the records, it is less costly that way.

have you purchased the marriage record for william and rosetta to see if his father is listed?

I will try and have a look at the 1901 census later tonight but no promises.

Good Luck, Louisa

Hi sarah,

no luck sorry. But there are heaps of Percy' but non with his parents to cross ref. If they came out after 1906 they may not have been registered to vote in that time frame.

Regards, Louisa
