Hi Kris,
How can I thank you for the work you have done - you are amazing     
Imagine that!! The newspaper report of 1937 got it all wrong - I wonder how that came about??
At least now we have some descendants - Clara and Mary.
Cando said you can only access marriage records up until 1937 in South Australia, so I guess we're no closer to finding living relatives.
Once again Kris, thank you so much for your efforts today

Hi Shakel,

You are welcome.  It is not that the newspaper report got it wrong. The newspaper article in The Peoples Weekly has the correct story of George's demise and then relates it to a tragedy which happened 16 years earlier in the same area. Somehow the abridged version on SA Memory has mixed up the two tragedies. I have notified them.

Alas as you say, we cannot tell you who Clara and Mary married as we can only access marriages to 1937. We can access deaths to 1972 but alas parents are not listed in the index, so no way of telling if they died after having married. Hopefully if there are descendants someone will google up this thread. The only two NEWTWIG deaths to 1972 are George and Florence so guessing they did marry. (If they remained in SA)

He had no family here and her family were in Moonta so seems likely the girls may have been brought up there. A notice in the local paper as previously suggested sounds the best option from here. Two children so hopefully there may be descendants out there. 

Cheers Kris

Well Done  Kris
this would have taken some time and effort

another avenue you could take is  to ring  the 5 Beaglehole listings in  the online White pages.

Or try contacting Di Cummings whose  threads are all about Beaglehole families
her email address is on the botton  of  this link to Bound for South Australia

Fantastic     
you have all been wonderful - Bill (the Scottish gentleman) and I really appreciate the time and effort you have all put in to this posting. I will give the Beaglehole's a ring (tomorrow).

Hi Jenn,
We're jumping around the place tonight 
It's interesting, don't you think? Especially if someone actually finds one of the soldier's descendants.

Not jumping around at all.  It is a good idea to link threads on similar topics in which you are involved.  After all there has been a lot of input from Aussie chatters.

Sorry, Cando.
Still very new to this site and not yet sure of the etiquette. I appreciate being guided in the right direction if I stray off the track

Hi
I am looking for any information on John Carey Beaglehole b-1826 Dartmouth, Devon, England in Australia. I have a possible marriage of John to a Mary Dignam and a possible death of 1907 in Victoria. However, I cannot find an immigration record or any census information that might offer details of his wife and any children etc. The wider family is a seafaring family.
Many thanks.
