Title: McCOY from Pt Augusta - Qld/NSW connection
Post by: SASHAR on Wednesday 14 October 09 01:43 BST (UK)
Hoping I can find some more information on Percy McCoy b.1894 Pt Augusta, parents James & Mary Jane McCoy, nee Reid.
I have found Percy's army records on NAA, they state:-

NAA - occupation Stockman.  Enlisted 29.11.1915 at Towoomba, Qld.   NOK - brother John, Para Station via Wentworth, NSW.
Religion - C of E

In 1918 he was awarded the Military Medal for Bravery.
In 1919 he was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal.

Did he marry?
Were there children?

I also can't find some of Percy's other siblings.
John James b.1875 Melrose, SA (mentioned above so likely in NSW)
Patrick b.1877 Melrose, SA
Mary Jane b.1886 Melrose m. Peter Christopher Martion 1910 Pt Augusta.
Vera Olive b. 1897 Pt Augusta, SA

I've checked SA bmd's but don't have SA deaths after 1915.
I've also checked Ryerson Index and SAGHS.

Any help appreciated,
Thanks,
Sashar

Thanks for your prompt reply Leanne and also for the cemetery link.
The information fits for that to be Percy.
He may have married Lillian later in life or she may have been his partner.  I will do a bit more searching on your recommended sites.
Thanks,

Wow, thankyou all!
Cazay - that has helped immensely, I can start to put some marriages together now as I'm sure I saw Clarice's name in NSW records but with the McCoy men having such common names it's been hard to link people.
Sue - thanks for the BH details re Leonard, I seem to have quite a few of my family members ending up in Broken Hill.
Dee - thank you for the deaths in SA after 1915, I did not have them and I was particularly after those 2.
Leanne - Yes, I've checked through SAGHS and there are a lot of McCoy's there that still may fit my lot, just need to connect some more dots.   I'll get back to the other sites you recommended and hopefully be able to put some more info on my tree.

Thankyou all, this has been a great help,
Kind Regards,
Sashar

Hi Dee,
I have a couple more deaths you may be able to find for me:-

McCoy
James b.1891 Frome Dist and his wife Mary Bridget McCoy, nee Odonnell b. 1895.   Their children all born in Adelaide.

McCoy, Ethne Everal Isabel b. 1911 Pt Augusta (haven't found marriage or anything else for her in SA.).


There are 3 others born after 1918 so it's possible they could be living.

I have to go out today so I may have to catch up with this later.
Thanks heaps for your help so far,
In appreciation,
Sashar

He may have married Lillian later in life or she may have been his partner SASHAR

Qld BMD INDEX shows...


IN 1926 Hanson, Lillian Mary  to McCoy Percival Philip   B40020


AS well as his ww1 record indexed Percy also has a ww2 index entry.

He enlisted at Brisbane  in 1939 and was then living at Annerley , QLD.
His date of birth is given as 21/8/1894 and he was discharged in 1946.

His NOK then is MARY

This could well be the name which his wife (with whom he appears to be buried) LILLIAN MARY used .

Hi Adieva,
AJO and I (Sashar) have worked a bit together on the Mc Coy family and I think AJO has posted all the information I would have on the WA branch.
We have shared our work together so I don't think there is anything I can add.    AJO has been compiling a beautiful book as a family keepsake.

If you post a couple more times we will be able to make personal contact as per the Moderator's instructions in a previous post.

Hope to hear from you,

Where did you get the info about peter Christopher Martion living in Nhill?
Im.currently doing.the MARTION family tree. also where did you find George Martion married Elizabeth  Miller? I've found that it was  Maley/Meal =S
and can only find her dad and George Martion/Martin dad.
Also I've come across something interesting about George and Elizabeth kids
ont of the 8 or 9 I've found five of them died before the age of one except the first child raphiel who.died when he was one. only found 3 that survived one being my great great grandfather Andrew. there was one I.coikd only find a birth record for which was Thomas George =S is it wrong on me to think something terrible happened back then to.those kids?? What makes me more suspicious is that on all the death records for.the kids the last name varies from marton Martion and Martin and their first names have a different spelling also.
If anyone has any information on George and his wife what ever her last name really was, when they were born where they were born and their parents please let me know. i know this is a McCoy forum but it seems that the Martions don't want to help =S my two aunts who pased away a few years ago were told to stood digging up the past but no one knows who.by or how far back.they got and now Im thinking I know why.
Also if anyone has info on the Martion name change that would be handy to. thanks and sorry for the long message.

Hi Mick and welcome to Rootschat  :)
I haven't researched the MARTION line, hopefully AJO will see your message and be able to help you.
I have researched the REID line but have been unable to find when Mary Jane's father Adam REID came to Australia. He was a shoemaker.   In 1869 Adam went to Hospital in Adelaide for an injury to his elbow.  He names his place of birth as Lanarkshire, Scotland.
Adelaide hospital records:REID Adam , Age 41, male, married, years in South Australia 18, Born Lanarkshire Scotland, Residence Wirrabara, Labourer, religion Baptist, admitted 11 October 1869, injury to elbow, discharged 11 Oct 1869. Adm 69/982
Going by the hospital record Adam must have arrived in Sth Australia c1851.   
I haven't researched this line for quite a while but was never able to find any shipping references to Adam's arrival.  He may have arrived in another State other than SA.   I'm not really sure that he would have been of Baptist religion either.   I have no information on Adam's parents names.
Did find the following once and thought it may be him:-
1841 Census, Lanarkshire:-
Adam REID in the 1841 census is in a House of Refuge for Boys in Barony, Lanarkshire - age 15, a Nailer, b Lanarkshire. The House of Refuge had Teachers of three trades:
Weaving
Nailmaking
Shoemaking
Age wouldn't be exact for Adam but quite often on the 1841 Census ages were rounded down to nearest 5, i.e. 5,10,15,20 etc.   If this was the case, that could well be Adam Reid.  Maybe that is where he learnt his trade as a Shoemaker.

Hope that helps a little,
Sashar

Hi Sasha

Thank you for your prompt response and yes I think it may help a bit

It is interesting that records are showing a crossover of names e.g. McCoy and Coy relating to the same person which adds confusion to the chase and makes it difficult to verify details.

I have found that there is reference to Peter Christopher Martion and Peter Christie Martion.

Also Mary Jane Martion (McCoy) and Mary Jean Martion (McCoy)

They are my Grandparents - 1929 copy of one of their children's birth register records them as:
Peter Christie Martion (father) also Army record shows this name
Mary Jean McCoy (mother)

Trying to get something verified prior to this is proving to be more difficult.

It is interesting the bit about the shoemaker - My Father was very good at working with leather which I had put down to years of working with horses and the harnesses that go with that but it may be a trend passed down through the family.

Thank you again, perhaps we can share any information we find.

Regards

Mick

Hi Mick,
Yes, the names in this family interchange quite a lot.   Some of the REID family can also be found as REED, READ.
Most of the records I have found in relation to Mary have been as Mary JANE and sometimes just JANE.    I believe it is quite normal for the Scottish names JEAN and JANE to be interchanged.   Maybe how it is pronounced to the person writing the records is why it has been altered between JANE and JEAN.
I do have a transcript of Mary Jane's death record which I can give you if you don't already have that.

Regards,
Sashar

Hi Sasha

I do not have the transcript of Mary Jane's death record and would certainly be interested in seeing that.

In WA the records are local to the state and at this stage I am not certain what state the persons of interest were born for birth/death records to be researched or if they were part of immigration.

Any information that has already been researched will be of great value.

Regards
Mick

Hi DawnKim,

Welcome to RootsChat,  great place for family history buffs.


As I type this reply up, you have only made the one post.   If you were to make just a couple more, you will then have access to all parts of RChat, including the personal message system.   

You only need to reply "Hi" on two separate posts  :)

Cheers,  JM

Hi Sashar

I am related to the Sheridan's.  My Grandmother was Florence, sister of Isabel Sheridan, married to Robert McCoy/Coy son of Mary Jane Reid.  So very distant really.  I was filling in some gaps for my Dad, who is 88 and remembered McCoys from when he was a kid, but didn't know how they were related.

I saw your conversation and thought that if you needed help, particularly with Sth Aust BDM, I have some access.

I'd love to know about the name changing... Coy to McCoy.
I'm also interested in Mary Jane Reid's husband John James Coy / James McCoy - records from before and coming to Aust.

Let me know what you are interested in. 

cheers
Dawn

Hi Jodee lee , thanks for your message about Robert McCoy . I don’t know a great deal about the McCoy Family in South Australia . I remember my Grandfather Percy McCoy telling me his brother Adam & his sister Veronica aka Vera visiting him & his wife Mary in Brisbane many years ago .  One day I’m going to visit S A . I would like to see places where my Grandfather lived eg Port Augusta & Melrose & hopefully meet some relatives .  I look forward to hearing from you .
Cheers Matt McCoy

Hello to all, I am the daughter of Kevin McCoy and Betty McCoy (new Coverdale) of Port Augusta. Seems to be a lot more McCoy's than I first thought.

I can vaguely remember dads father living with us for a short time when I was a child. That would have been Robert McCoy I would think.

Sadly I don't have a lot of knowledge about the family history

Jodeelee I can remember Uncle Eric. Hope all is well with you and your family

Good luck with the family history Matt
