Look up please - HELM Eliza SA COMPLETED
« on: Sunday 08 March 09 12:37 GMT (UK) »
Is it possible please to do a look up for my Eliza HELM, apparently b in SA in the 1850s. I would love to find out her birth date and info on her parents.

Apparently her mother's name may be Jessie, and may have a Scottish connection.

Eliza married John OWENS, and I think this may well have been in SA as I have not found the record in other states.

They had 2 children in QLD, Violet Vera Vida (1886) and James (1888). Therefore if they married in SA it would most likely be before 1886.

They also lived in NSW.

Many thanks to any who are kind enough to help.

Hi Kelmark,

I cannot see a birth in SA nor this marriage. There is a marriage for an Eliza HELM but husband is wrong. (Timothy DONOVAN)

John OWEN and Eliza HELM had 2 children that I can see in Vic

Henry OWEN Chiltern 1877/14202
Luke OWEN Chiltern 1879/1490

Cheers Kris  :)

Thanks Kris and Jenn!

That's wonderful! The parents marriage is not in Victoria either? What a pain  :P The search continues!

This was a branch I was leaving alone because it had been hard to find anything, so I am very happy! Thanks again guys!  ;D

Not as a concrete fact, but when I found it I was struck by the date and thought it may be the right one  ???

I am open to other possibilities  :).

perhaps you  may  just have  to  buy  a certificate  if you  haven't allready  done  that

one of  the victoria  births  should  help you along and no doubt  the cheapest and quickest method
