Hello I am searching for Walton Harry Euston born c1880 in Tryddyn to William Euston (veterinary surgeon) and Mary Euston nee Newton. Walton moved to Aust in about 1904 & married Ella Gertrude Smith in 1917. They had 3 children (1920, 1923, 1927) before Walton died in Melbourne on 6.1.1930. I was wondering if anyone knows of a register of Veterinary surgeons in about the 1870's??? Any help however tenuous would be greatly appreciated.
With Kindest Regards Peter Euston

Hi Peter
Do you have these folk on censuses?
kind regards, Arranroots ;)

Hello Arranroots,
I probably do have some of these names I could research for you but without more details I wouldn't know where to start.
How did you come to contact me this way? It is most unusual. You can find me (and other chatters) in your "messages" at the top of the page after you log on.
If you would like to send some more details like 1st names, dates, counties, spouse or siblings etc I will see what I can find.
Regards.

Hello Peter
No, this is the way it works when you get a reply, LOL! ;D
I was offering to help you - I have no personal connection with the EUSTON family, but thanks anyway!

Hello Arranroots, I must apologise I took your msg the wrong way, I thought you were seeking my help.
Thankyou very much for the offer and in answer to your question no I have not been able to definately locate any of the family in any census or other records so far.
I would be most grateful for your help since another pair of eyes may possibly find that vital break-through.
Once again I am sorry for the misunderstanding and thanks again for your help.
Kind Regards.
Peter Euston.

Well Peter!
Elusive would be one word for them! ;D
There are not many EUSTONs anywhere in Wales, still fewer Waltons and none with the combination.
Do you have any info about siblings? What do you know of Mary NEWTON?
Have to give up at this point, but let us know if you have anything else that might help??
kind regards, Arranroots ;)

I agree with Arranroots. The only semblance of a match is a Walter brother of William but no Mary and no vets.
I wonder if they were in Scotland or Ireland. Don't forget that Tryddyn is now spelt Treuddyn but I tried all sorts of combinations of names in either without success. If the marriage is certain have you obtained the certificate and the same applies with the birth - have you looked through 1837online.com?

Hello Peterej, I am quite encouraged by the fact that other people are searching on my behalf. I thank you and all the others very much for your efforts.
The info I have was taken from Walton's marriage cert, his 3 children's birth certs and his death cert. By no means am I certain of anything in relation to Walton. If I thought there was even a vague chance of buying any certificates I would not hesitate. So far, like you and Arranroots I have been unable to establish any connection between any Wm EUSTON & Mary NEWTON. I am systematically trying all variations of spelling I can think of and not limiting my queries to just Wales. I have so far sent more than 200 emails to people with a Wm EUSTON or Mary NEWTON in their tree as identified in GenesReunited. I have also emailed 2 Vet Colleges and the Vet Registration Board re Wm EUSTON with no luck there. I chat regularly in 2 genealogy chat rooms and ask everyone that comes in about EUSTON/NEWTON. I have posted on several message boards & subscribed to several Genealogy Lists (like this one).
The only thing that keeps me searching is the kindness and generosity of people like you & Arranroots which I appreciate enormously. Thankyou again for your efforts.
Good luck with your own search and I'm sure that one day together we can scale this brickwall.
Many thanks and kind regards.

Thanks for the thanks - much appreciated
I notice these births in North Wales BMD and as it is all in the same area thought it worth drawing to your attention. I could not see the family in Flintshire in 1901 which may indicate they were either out of England and Wales or coincidentally moved there

Hello again,
I am most grateful for your efforts. You could well be right about these being reles but until I can positively identify Walton and his parents it will be hard to know. Thanks again.
Kind Regards.
Peter Euston.

Hello again, Recently I visited an aunt who I believed had no records of Walton Harry EUSTON. I was surprised to find she had several photos of him and his original marriage cert. It would appear his mother was Mabel Mary NEWTON (not Mary NEWTON as I believed). There was a hand written note saying that Walton was born on 15.1.1884. This may change when to look for him although he still didn't reveal himself to me unfortunately.
I just thought I'd post these (very small) hints on the off-chance. I would also like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who has read my posting and especially those who have replied.
Kind Regards
Peter Euston

Hi again Peter!
Good to know there are some fresh clues - I have recovered from the last attempt at finding your rellies and will have another go!! ;D
Can you post everything that was on the marriage cert - date, location, father's names, witnesses, addresses - anything you made a note of?
Do you have a place of birth on the handwritten note?
will get back if I find anything
kind regards, Arranroots ;)

Hello Arranroots, thankyou for your prompt reply.
The marriage cert states marriage date 9th June 1917. Walton was a widower on 17/1/1914.
The witnesses were Annie BARBER & J.LAUCHLAN (I think).
Their addresses were given as (Walton) 316 Queen St Melbourne
(Ella) 7 Minister (or Murister) St E.Caulfield & their ages as 33 and 30 and their birth place as Tryddyn Nth Wales & Wedderburn Vict. respectively.
Parents - Groom:William EUSTON (veterinary surgeon) & Mabel Mary NEWTON
Bride - Samuel Hobbs SMITH (labourer) & Sarah Anne Young BAKER
The Registrar was Fredk.C.BECK
On Walton's death cert for 6.1.1930 he was 50 yrs old, came from Wales, had the same parents as above, had been in Victoria for 26 yrs & had 3 children: Shirley Walton, Ralph Alan, Eric Bernard.
On Shirley's birth cert on 18.4.1920 Walton was 36 yrs old.
The note I saw only had birth date (15.1.1884) & death (5.1.1930). Unfortunately there was no other information.
I'm afraid all this adds up to very little but I guess that every little clue, no matter how small, is one step closer.
Again with many thanks & kind regards.
Peter Euston
