LoneyBones Second Chance Scavenger Hunt...Everyone Welcome To Join In

Hi JM
I have a record of another John ENNIS born in Portugal c 1829.  This John came to New Zealand c 1859 and was married the same year to Emma BLACKLOCK and had a son born c 1876. John was a boatman, the son of John (a gardener) and Mary Ann ENNIS. John died in Durham Street, Auckland on 19 Sep 1884 aged 55 and was buried there under the rites of the Church of England.

John ENNIS's are getting almost as common as John SMITH's.
Our's should be out there somewhere. All I want is a birth certificate.    And where his parents were born... 

I've followed up all the links, nothing. I even joined the geneanet one youngtug found. The person who had posted has either left the site or removed the files.    The connection is no longer available.

I couldn't find anything relating to the Azores.

Hi there,

I know we are looking for birth/baptism details, BUT Is this your chap in 1863

John Innis of Wollongong, carpenter

http://newspapers.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13093768 and http://newspapers.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13097244 (I think the word "single" indicates one applicant rather than indicating John Innis was not married)

If it is, I wonder if the NSW State Archives holdings showing his sequestration as 8 Sept 1863, and file reference 06280 will provide any background information about his origins.

Cheers,  JM

There are some very good databases here and you can contact them. You can also search in English once you enter each database.

ENOS seems very possible having looked here

Thanks JM and Annie, I'll get onto those.
I just found a Joao INACIO and Louisa CONSTANCIA, both born Horta, Faial.,  had a child, Maria Isabel in 1824. born Horta. I'm going to chase this up.
Hopefully they had more children.
Thinking here is that the only names John had for his mother, Louisa Constance, was because they were her only names. As in Louisa CONSTANCIA. I've found CONSTANCA, with a squiggly thing under the C.
Using FamilySearch, I'm finding Jose equates to Joseph,  Joao doesn't seem to equate to anything, but I'm not getting a John in any Portuguese islands or mainland. So am assuming Joao is John.

Also, comment from the sidelines,   Manuel CHRISTIAN, witness at marriage of John and Elizabeth, could be descended from Fletcher CHRISTIAN.   That bloke sure did get around.

Added; CHRISTIAN in the Azores is CRISTIANO/A
