Hi All,
I have now read all your replies to my original message, and thought about what it all means and I would like to make the following observations:
Cando & Sparret
You both make reference to a Hospital Admission of a Sarah Audley aged 22 into a Melbourne Hosp on 11th January 1869, with sparret, suggesting that she was born in Ireland. Emily's sister Sarah was born in 1830 in Birmingham, England and died, according to Giblet in 1894 aged 63. I therefore conclude that the hospital admission of Sarah Audley aged 22 is of a different Sarah Audley than the Sarah Audley who was a sister of Emily Audley.
Sparret,
In the Victoria State Rate books I have managed to find them on a well known website. What does it mean that Emily's occupation was boarder? Does it mean that she rented the house off a person called Mrs McCrae and then took in paying lodgers? Both Emily and her sister were dressmakers. There appears to be several people with the surname Audley in Fitzroy, Melbourne, who are not related to the Sarah and Emily Audley I am interested in. This makes me concerned that the Emily and Sarah in Fitzroy could be from a different branch of the Audley Family. I will need to do a bit more research on these rate books.
To Everyone (including Cando and Sparett)
Many thanks for all your replies to my original request for help and for giving me links to websites I was not aware of.
Regards
Brian Audley
