Western Australian (South West) - Noongar - MAGARIN
« on: Tuesday 27 June 17 11:08 BST (UK) »
Tracing my great great grandfather, very little information known on him other than he was born around 1841 and died sometime around 1939 presumably before.  He married Emma Bennell.  Not sure if he was known by another name.  He would of lived his married life around Narrogin.  Have heard that he may have come down from the Kimberleys.

Magarin, that's the only name listed on the family tree we have.

Is that a first name or last?

What is your source of the marriage, as I can't find a record on WABDM?

I've just noticed that you are new to RC. A hearty welcome to you.

I think it would be helpful if you could give as much information from the tree that you have, as often it assists with making connections.

Hi  Ozzyboi

Found this burial at Narrogin Cemetery, could it be one of your relatives?

Wow thanks for all the responses!  We only have a family tree, with the name Magarin on it he was definitely an aboriginal, not sure if he also went by Daniel Corrup, he is the father of Billy Kelly.  We have other people that went by single names on the family tree, Dilyan and Korap (which we have found info on).   The family tree came from South West Land and Sea Council.

It may be difficult to find information about his birth and early life, but there should be a record of his death, presumably a death certificate. :-\

I have no knowledge of WA certificates but other states include parent's names, children, plus other information on the death certificate.

I don't suppose you have the family tree online so anyone able to help you can have a look at it?  :)
