Hi Kerri I am trying to trace my late husband's maternal family to create a family tree for my children. I was wondering if there is any informatiion on the birthe record for my late mother-in-law who was born, Florence Emily May Beard on 28 march 1906 and according to my husband's birth certificate this was in Penola, South Australia. Any additional information available such as her paernts names, marraige and any siblings and occupation whihc be hugley appreciated Thanks Amanda Billing

Hi Kerri I've been told SA information is very limited but was wondering if you could look up the marriage of John Martin born 29/08/1818 amd Hannah Potter born 11/10/1827 I believe they were married in Stow Church in Adelaide on 18 January 1949. We are trying to trace more relatives in the previous generation so was wondering if there is more information on the marriage certificate. If so I would really appreciate any additional details Thank you Amanda Billing

Hi Kerri is your offer still open, If so could you plese have a look and see if youcan fin Alfred Graham Gain anywhere in your look ups as I seem to have lost him completeley.many thanks Jacques.

Hi Kerri, If you are still doing lookups in Victoria I would be very grateful if you could find a marriage between William Marsh (may have the second name Joseph) and Jessie (don't know maiden name) around about 1890-1900. Also any children, if possible, please. Regards, Gerald

WOW thankyou Kerry!! You are a gem! Stuart Woods

Hi Kerry, I am in Bendigo and am having a difficult time getting the info I need online. Could you please look up Roy Browne DUNCAN b1912 in Victoria (most likely Melbourne). He married Nancy Maud TAYLOR from Eumerka, Vic, Australia. That's all I have I'm afraid. Anything you can do would be a huge help. Thanks Stuart Woods

Thank you Kerri, I apologise for not getting back to you quickly, I took the weekend off. It is not the one I was looking for, but he is one of mine, so I shall enter the information. I know there are lots of my Woods in Geelong, I am just trying to pick away at them bit by bit. Linda

Hi Kerri, Re: James Harnett Parish Thanks for the information Kerri - you're a real star! I was wondering where I'd be able to get my hands on this information. Thanks once again, Love & Kisses, Grahame.

Hi Linda The only one possible that I found- Walt Hy WOOD,died 1919,aged 40 at Geelong,parents Thos Turton WOOD & Jane WOOD.Lots of William WOOD deaths but none near 1916. Kerri

Hello Kerri, I am looking for the death of Wallace Wood, often known as Willie.He was born 1876 in Denby Yorkshire. He emigrated to Canada in 1908, I have all of that info, but at some stage he went to Australia. The family say he died there in 1916. There would seem to be a large collection of this Wood family centered on the Geelong area, so I was hoping he might have ended up there. Linda

Hi Kerri Thank you for looking anyway. Gerald

Hi Kerri, Thank you so much for looking, maybe they will be on the CD you are awaiting. Will contact you again in couple of weeks. Cheers Norma

Hi Kerri Wonderful! Thank you so much for that, Cheers, Richard

Hi Norma Not much luck finding your family,Im afraid. I am waiting on another CD which may have some info on your family.If I dont get back to you,can you give me a reminder in a week or 2. Kerri

Hi Kerri Many thanks for the kind offer. I'm doing my partner's tree, they were from South Australia. The SA records in the Perth library only go to 1908-ish, it seems as though your records go a bit further than this. Therefore I'd be most grateful if you could check for any children of the following couples for me: Albert Wise & Isabel Hanna, m.1906 Walter Gillett & Gertrude Wise, m.1906 Daniel Quinn & Ada Wise, m.1905 Martin Pederson & Olive Wise, m.1908 Also if it's not too much trouble, I'm missing info for the following marriages: (unknown) Nicholls & Florence Margaret Richards (unknown) Butler & Doris Beatrice Richards (unknown) Martin & Edna May Richards Ross Symonds & Ivy E J Faggotter (unknown) Rowley & Rita C Faggotter Malcolm Kellock & Beryl Gillett William Quinn & Grace (unknown) Martin Pederson & Olive Muriel Wise Ada Margaret Quinn (or Wise) & Ernest Templer Thanks for any help you can give, Richard
