Hi All
I am seeking Ann Crossland/ Crosland born abt 1796 . I am told she spent some time in the Basford Union Workhouse and wonder if she was there in 1841 or 1851. I loose contact with her after 1817 when she becomes an unwed mother.
regards
Debbie

I have been unable to find the following family on the 1851 although from some notes passed on to me I believe they must exist as the information passed on had to come from either this census or 1861
I am looking for
Frederick Crossland born 1817 ( Crosland)  he is in the 46th regiment and has wife Sophia born 1823 and children  william and Ann
I believe the regiment was in Manchester at this time
thankyou debbie

For about 10 years I have been trying to find the parents of Charlotte Johnstone ( Johnston) . There is a birth for a Charlotte Johnstone on the Qld pre separation index but it gives a birth date as well as a christening and at age 8 she would be far too young.
She was the ward of Mrs Elizabeth Ann Devine at her marriage in 1862 usual place of residence Three Mile Creek,Ipswich. She made her mark on the certificate but a Mary Johnstone signed as a witness.
If Mary was her mother why was she someones ward. At first I thought Mary might be a sister but Charlotte uses the middle name Mary.
Her death certificate shows

Charlotte Rabbitt, date 30 Oct 1904 at Brookfield Farm near Inglewood
occupation: Selector
cause : Rupture, general asthenia
name and surname of father : Johnstone
No other details of father listed
certified by: James Rabbitt, son , Brookfield near Inglewood
Buried: 30 ct 1904 , Inglewood
Two witnesses: J.C. Sandford, E. Duffy
Where born and how long in Australia states, stating which : Sydney , New South Wales, all life in Queensland and New South Wales
Where and When married: Ipswich, Queensland
Age at marriage: 16 years
To whom: John Rabbitt
Issue living in order of birth , their names and ages:
living- John 40, Robert 38,Annie 36,Charlotte 33, Harriet 31, William 28,Walter 26,James 22, Agnes 20, Edward 17, Lily 15
Deceased - 2 males , 1 female

the birth of a child gives the place of birth as Brisbane the death certificate gives Sydney

Any ideas?
