Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Re: George Bendall

George's parents were named on his marriage and death certificate as Frederick and Mary Ann so I dont think this is the same family.

Thanks

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / George Bendall
« on: Friday 19 June 09 13:19 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

Wondering if someone would be able to assist me in finding any info on my GG Grandfather, George Frederick Bendell/Bendall.

His marriage certificate in Australia states his birthplace as Bath about 1837 (father Frederick, mother Mary) but I have been unable to find anything relating to him in Somerset.

I have come across an 1861 Census that puts a Geo Bendall on board the Indus and states his birth place as Bristol.  I know that he was a seaman so this could possibly be him.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Debra

Yes thats what I thought, was trying to avoid that. Not quite sure how much information they need to do a search.

I had a quick look in my book, no Charles Powell, just a John Powell.

Hi

Thomas Silver is listed as a deserter from HMS Electra in Sept 1854.  Does anyone know where I would start to look for his navel records?

Hi Margaret,

Yes he died in NSW but Burchell was spelt Birchall. His death certificate lists his parents as unknown. I have been unable to find the marriage record and have been told it predates civil registration by 12 years. I do know that he was Wesleyan Methodist I thought I could try and find the church records if I could work out the church they married in, not sure if this is possible.  What do you think??
