Durham Lookup Requests / Death record and burial for Thomas Smith, after 1851 census Innkeeper Hartlepool
« on: Thursday 14 April 16 01:13 BST (UK)  »
Really puzzled with this one ??? Have posted in past hoping someone would be able to throw some light on where he disappeared to?  After 1851 census we lose him as Innkeeper from Waterloo Inn, 23 Prissick Street, Hartlepool and his wife (Anne Kirkley) remarries in 1857 as his widow on certificate of new marriage in Hartlepool and moves to Scotland with her new husband John Macmillan and Thomas Smith's young son (also Thomas Smith, my 3x great grandfather) He keeps his father's name all his life.  No record I can find of death date or burial info or MI?

Australia / Looking for Family of Dr. John Davis and Nina (nee Brown)
« on: Thursday 12 December 13 12:06 GMT (UK)  »
Emigrated around 1963 to Australia. Nina was one of four children.
By 1964 they are living in Mont Park Hospital, Mont Park Melbourne, Australia.
This was prior to Dr. John Davis going into private practice after qualifying as a psychiatrist.
In 1973 we learned (us being The Craig Family from Fife Scotland) they owned a collie dog called Kinta which they put to shows?
Last known address was in June 1983 to us, Nina writes then  in a letter telling of her three children.
Anyone able to help us out? :(

New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: What happened to Mum?
« on: Monday 08 April 13 03:36 BST (UK)  »
Hi Lu There was a fair bit of info on  the electoral rolls on previous post. Just always hoping for that something extra. Ha!  Think the post by 'Ballydw' might be a no....
Information had Arthur W Preston departing from Glasgow on the ship Transylvania as a widower aged approx 35. Bound for New york arrival date 17th June 1928.  Seemed fair enough but my concern there was his occupation being a miner (and him a prior Army pensioner. some form of physical disability? He married a Mary F Smith born Scotland age 28. in Kanawha West Virginia and 1930 census had them at Cabin Creek Canawha W Virginia.
However by fluke chance I came across a family tree link on UK boards which was a certainty for Agnes and Arthur Preston which I thought took them to Australia as there was a return passage citation from Brisbane back to UK which I couldn't view due to my limited subscription. However with the help of researchers on Australian and NewZealand Boards had both them and their son Donald Arthur age 1  leaving for Newzealand in 1920 and up to 1928 still there. Then 1932  father and son return to UK but no Agnes!!! No death records for her so suggestion of a divorce and remarriage crops up, as does continually the surname DENT ,together with her criteria make it a possibility but is she likey to have moved from wellington to New South Wales ??? Her son only 12 years old on return to UK without his Mum.
Father and son appear to have sat tidy in our family tree from therein since I found them again. His son maried and had his own family. No sign of Arthur ever remarrying and no sign of Agnes.  Carol

Thanks for the links and information, Sue re: 'Pay to View' records. Once I have had time to absorb everything posted in response to my questions between the NewZealand and Australian Boards I will try the Transcription Service out. Thanks Carol ::)

Thanks to everyone who contributed to my post, Ted Scout,  Heather 17, Merlin,  gradually sorting this family out thanks to information given by you all. Especially leading me to the NewZealand Boards. Just to clarify please that Agnes was not on the return trip in 1932 on the "Orsova" with Arthur and Donald? Kind Regards C

Must thank everyone who have tried to assist me with this puzzle and have taken the time to do some research on my behalf.  :)
I am inclined to believe now that she may have divorced and remarried as 'Beg' posted. DENT being her name latterly. The death record for her in 1977 has her parents Christian names correct and her given names which are unusual in themselves also correct. The record unfortunately is pay for view so couldn't get more detail from it.
The electoral roll also seems promising so hopefully some one doing some research that has full access to it will be able to check it out for me.  ::)
Need to check out now when she divorced and remarried? ???  She was still married to Arthur W Preston in 1928 according to residency list for Wellington.  He and his son returned to UK in Sept 1932.   To Lucy 2, Giblet, Beg, and Twiggy Tree, my total thanks and appreciation on this.  If I can ever be any help to anyone on Scottish or UK Boards please let me know.  Kind Regards C
