Europe / Reinhold Skowronnek b. 1820 Germany
« on: Thursday 07 December 23 03:05 GMT (UK)  »
Hello

I'm looking for information about Reinhold Skowronnek whom Ancestry.com shows as being born in 1820 in Hennweiler, Bad Kreuznach, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany and is the father of Aldeburt Frederick Skowronnek (1844-1926) and William Julius Hermann Skowronnek (1847-1888). Both sons immigrated to London.

I'd like to confirm those details and find any other information concerning the family in Germany (Prussia?), such as where the sons were born and when they immigrated.

Thanks

Bill

Australia / Ellen Collins m. Michael Delaney in Yass 1842, died 1843

Hello

I'm looking for information about Ellen Collins who married Michael Delaney (ex convict) in Yass in 1842 and died 1843.

Please note that a recent mtDNA test confirms that she was not Aboriginal (as some have suggested) but European, probably Irish.

There is an old thread which mentions “two sisters, Ellen & Mary Collins who arrived on the Duchess of Northumberland 3rd Oct 1836. They turned up in Yass...”.

Does anyone know when this Ellen Collins was in Yass and what became of her?

Thanks

Fife / David Douglas and Margaret Campbell (married 18/11/1803 Collessie)

Hello

I recently found this old thread with some helpful photos (thank you!) of Douglas graves in the Collessie Parish cemetery:

I'm particularly interested in David Douglas (1785(?)-1856) and his wife Margaret Campbell (1774-1857), married 18/11/1803, Collessie.

I'd love to hear from anyone who has information about them.  In particular, I've seen some ancestry sites which suggest that this David Douglas is the son of Sholto Douglas and Mary Bruce (married in Auchtermuchty 18/7/1782) and I'd like to know if that is correct.

Thanks

Bill
