Australia / Searching for 1853 burial in Melbourne
« on: Friday 29 April 11 14:08 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone.

I am looking for the burial site of Hannah Booth who died in Richmond in 1853. Hannah is the second one listed on the death certificate below.

No burial is listed on the certificate but I was hoping there was enough clues for someone here to be able to help me out.

I am thinking it is likely to be in the Old Melbourne Cemetery under Queen Victoria Markets but any help from anyone who has been through this would be appreciated.

Thanks
Nick

Australia / Missing Husband
« on: Tuesday 01 March 11 10:54 GMT (UK)  »
Hi everyone.

I am after information about the first marriage of Margaret Leighton. I have the information about her second marriage to Arthur Robert Driver on October 18, 1949 in Brighton Beach, Victoria (I know the birth and death details about Arthur Robert).

From this article (and others) on Trove...
http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/18130002?searchTerm=&searchLimits=l-publictag=Marjorie+Campbell+DRIVER
...it states that this is her second marriage and her first marriage was to Flight Lieutenant Harry Driver, Arthur's cousin.

I have been unable to find any details about Harry Driver, I can't even find a Flight Lieutenant Harry Driver in the WW2 nominal roll. I can't even find where Harry married Margaret.

Any help in clearing this up is appreciated.

Australia / Parish Records
« on: Tuesday 22 February 11 06:09 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I was after help regarding parish records. I have not really used this resource yet and I am not sure how what the usual procedure is.

Are churches usually accommodating to requests to search through parish records or do they not allow it? Is there some kind of protocol or best way to contact the church to ask?

I know some parish records for some of the WA parishes are available in the State Library but I was after some records that they don't have.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Hi Eileen,

I wouldn't mind any information on Annie Helen Leighton who died in Ballarat on January 1, 1943.

I know she is buried in the New Ballarat Cemetery but I don't have a plot number.

Thanks.

Hi everyone!

I need help deciphering the occupation of Featherstone John Fowler in this 1901 Census.



To me it looks like Foreman Machine****** Factory but I could be wrong (I usually am in these things).

They were living in Queens Rd, High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire and the reg number of the page is RG 13 / 1347

Australia / Frances Eva FLETCHER & Ivy May (Molly) HANNA
« on: Monday 13 December 10 02:20 GMT (UK)  »
I have been having some trouble finding out what happened to Frances Eva Hannah [Thornett]. From BDM records and mentions in newspapers I have found on Trove I have found out the following about her.

1887: She was born in Kaniva, Victoria to Arthur & Amy Caroline THORNETT
1907: Marries Milfred BIGGS in Kalgoorlie (WA)
March 1913: Divorces Milfred BIGGS (from Trove)
April 1913: Marries William Arthur FLETCHER in Norseman (WA)
1933: From her brother, Ray, deaths notice I found in Trove she is now Mrs Molly HANNAH

I have tried searching Trove and some states death and marriage details but I have been unable to find when she married a Mr. HANNAH or anyone else other than the two marriages I have listed above. Did she have any children? ( I know she had none with Milfred BIGGS), Also haven't found out where she passed away or what happened to William Arthur FLETCHER (I know Milfred BIGGS died in 1953).

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
