Is it snowing ??

Morning Marilyn- Happy Christmas

Yes, Louisa married William Samuel Garwood- original certificate is on Ancestry. Her sister Emma was a witness to the marriage, so I imagine they were close.

Which of the 8 children of Mary and Joseph are you descended from- is it Albert?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The West Australian Tuesday 25 March 1952

MURPHY: On March 23, 1952, at Home of Peace, Albert Henry. loving husband of Susannah. loved father of George. William, Albert, Kathleen (Mrs. Daniels), Mary (Mrs. Perry). Laurel, Joe, May (Mrs. Wood). Donald, Allan, Margery, Gordon and Kerry: aged 63 years.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also worth noting- in your earlier post you mention that Mary's (Birch) mother is Elizabeth Bradbury. I haven't had time to look into it, but other trees on ancestry suggest her parents were Joseph Birch and Ellen Munday- so that might be worth checking.

I'm in England. I may not be around much the next couple of days- we have a mad house of family over for Christmas, but will check back when I can.

Good luck with your searching, and have a lovely day.

Fabulous help Thankyou sooooo much - will get on Ancestry.

Garwood ? This is the married name of Louisa ?? Is it not ?

Can I ask are you and gritty in England ?

Great Christmas presents :-D <3 :-D

This is so exciting, filling in so many gaps :-D :-D <3

Thankyou so much
Marilyn.

Thanks Gritty,

Didn't see above info :-D :-D :-D :-D

The Birch family came from the West Wycombe Buckinghamshire district - the grandmother I think was Eluzabeth Bradbury/Birch , maybe the girls are with her ?

I think Rose is Rosalyn, maybe there is another family called Mary & Joseph too.

No luck with any descendents of the Garwood or Hayes families.
