Not sure if there was only one Margaret, as the list posted of Mary Jane, Frances etc. the mother was Margaret McLean/McGlynn. On Simon's BISA - Married  Mgt  who was born 3rd September 1831 IRL. Sounds correct, but with Frances Hall death notice the mother was Margaret Latimer - where did the Latimer come from?

Researched JH Latimer family with Ida Turner at Gladstone. It took me back to Newcastle-on-Tyne England where both originated from. They were married there Jun quarter 1879. Good thought Dee re Percival being fostered/adopted.....had obtained JHL's will in the hope of finding some mention of Percival but there was nothing.

Hi Dee, Wivenhoe, Jamjar and Judith

Wow the brick wall has come tumbling down very quickly

Quickly perusing the info have no doubt that this is the correct family with all the different spellings of the name, and will need time to digest everything.

Wivenhoe, that familytree site bears out with Dee's research - documented is Clara's marriage to Masterman, and father's name Simon Coringo.

Jamjar, the inquest info is most interesting. Will follow up.

Judith, the death notice for Margaret Cornigo - feel it is important and connected with Dee's research and family history, as below.

Dee, so much info   - most grateful. At this stage the info that stands out is

Frances HALL aged 81 died at CFIELD in 1940
Father = Simon CORNIGO &  Mother = Margt  LATIMER
Ref = 8178

and

Percival Lathmer NEWMAN born 30th October 1880 at Kooringa.
Father = Charles NEWMAN & Mother = Mary Jane CORNIGO
Ref = Bur 250/385

Percival Howard Latimer was my grandfather. On his marriage cert Broken Hill 1907, it is documented that he was born in Melrose SA, father=John Henry Latimer, mother=Mary Jane Coringo. Researched the JH Latimer side back to England and with dates etc. came to the conclusion that Percival was the result of a liaision  

The Newman name is puzzling but could be correct as JH Latimer did not arrive in Australia till June 1880. On Percival's death cert (Vic 1946) the informant is not a family member and any details are not known.  

Need time-out as the mind is in overdrive and get the info prioritised.....any clarification of what I've said will be most grateful.

Hugs to you all

Hi All

Require help in breaking down my brick wall....

My request is to search for the unusual surname CORINGO, with any Christian name through out Australian BDM records.

The surname CORINGO cannot be found on SA records. I have tried Qld, NSW, Vic online indexes to no avail, but maybe I have missed the name???  Also have tried the surname with a K.

Know this is a tall order, but many eyes are better than one.

Would appreciate anyone's help.

Hi Malcolm

I know you posted this some time ago but have just came across it.

Catherine Morgan b26 Apr 1815 Canterbury, Kent, England.

She married Rev Harcourt 5 Jan 1850, at the parish Church of Killinkere, Co Cavan, Ireland.
Re the IGI + records of their marriage in Dec 1849, they may have had both a civil and religious ceremony?

Catherine was the daughter of John and Mary Morgan nee Glancy. John was from Bailieborough, Co Cavan, Ireland, and joined the British army in 1807. He was stationed at various posts throughout  Europe (incl Canada) in his 30 yr service, and their children were born at various places. At this stage I have no information of Mary's birthplace.

 Information sourced from John's service record, as well as research by family members.

Catherine's youngest brother Richard was my gggrandfather, who migrated to Australia in 1853.
