Hi Folks

According to FindmyFamily.com the 1911 census is going to be available to view on that particular website from 2009 on a pay per view basis.  Does anyone know if Ancestry will be also adding this census to their site, cos like most people I am a fully paid up member and don't really feel the inclination to pay per view on another site.
 

Robert Thomas Dougherty married Gertrude Elizabeth Foxon in Lincolnshire in 1915.

They emigrated to Victoria very shortly afterwards.  I have found them on the Australian Voters list for 1924 in Dandenong.
They had many children, some I have names for, but others just initials, it is the initials I would like names for if poss.

The first child was Nora bn 1917 Victoria ( I presume Dandenong) Another daughter was Frances Mabel bn 1925 in Dandenong, but there were others that include:

H.L.  Dougherty (male) bn 1920
R.T.  Dougherty (male) bn 1922
J.  Dougherty (male) bn 1926
E.L.   Dougherty (female) 1927

I've tried the Passenger Lists, but don't really know if I'm looking at the right ones.  They all seem too early for this family.

If anyone is researching this family or knows how I can find this names of these children, please get in touch.  I am connected to them through their mother Gertrude Elizabeth Dougherty (nee Foxon)

Thanks

Hi Geoff

You're a little star you!

I meant 1901 census he has done a disappearing act. I thought he may have gone abroad, as one of his sisters emmigrated to Canada, but I've looked at the passenger lists and I can't see him at the moment.  There doesn't seem to be anyone from Lincolnshire. 

I suppose he could have moved in between the census and have been living somewhere else, but no one seems to know.

Charles Taylor was born in Gedney Marsh, Lincolnshire in 1874 to Francis (Frank) and Fanny Taylor.

He was the eldest child and had 5 sisters.

Our family researchers have accounted for all the children but Charles remains a mystery.  He appears on the 1881 census with his family, but is not seen again, but doesn't appear in the BMD index either, so we assume he didn't die.  We have heard stories that he emmigrated to who knows where, but that's as far as it goes.

Is anyone out there connected to him or can find out where he went.

Fingers crossed 

Hi Barry

Yeah, I've seen those marriages, even looked at them in the Parish Records, but can't find a common link, must be one somewhere.
