Annie Frances DONALDSON - Lancashire, England to Queensland, Australia
« on: Friday 12 August 05 05:10 UTC (UK) »

I am desperately searching for further information about my great grandmother, Annie Frances DONALDSON (b. abt. 1864 in Manchester, Lancashire, England).

Annie married my great grandfather, William Edmund ANSELL on 8 October 1885 in Cunnamulla, Queensland, Australia.

On the certificate, which I have been able to obtain from the Queensland State Archives, it lists her as 21 years of age (making her year of birth abt. 1864). 

Her occupation is listed as: Domestic Servant.

Her birth place is listed as: Manchester, Lancashire, England.

Her parents are listed as: Stephen Roderick DONALSON (Publican) & Annie Frances LLOYD.

If anyone can find information as to how and when Annie travelled to Australia or information about her family in England, I would be very grateful.

Regards,

SArah,

It seems no one has bothered to reply at all most unlike this site,.

Have you checked the online records availble for QLD?

http://www.archives.qld.gov.au/research/index/immigration.asp

None really match age wise but ages were notoriously flexible.

good luck

I see Qld BMD also gives the surname O'Donnell for her on a couple of births

I found this one, no wife or children on a quick check

This request is nearly four years old and the chatter hasn't been online since March.  Perhaps the information has been found.  A lot of shipping/passenger info has come online since August 2005. Grin

I  noticed by clicking on  her world tree,  there are a number of names for both Ansell and Donaldson, but you need a password to see them, so wondered also if  Sarah had found them.

Hello to everyone and thanks for your suggestions...  I will follow those up today!

I am still no more well informed about Annie, so hope the QLD State Archives will prove useful.

Thanks again...

Best wishes,
