New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Spencer Gerald Workman
« on: Sunday 16 July 17 03:07 BST (UK) »
Hi Spades, have you managed to find anything more about Spencer Gerald Workman who was born in England 1917 to Frances Violet Baker and Benjamin Lester Workman. There was a big age difference between the two and she was 8 mths pregnant at the time of marriage. After his Mother's death there is a big blank in Spencer's life till first married that was short lived then he travelled to Australia in the early 1950's and later to New Zealand. Thanks AnnAus

Hi Spades, Yes sorry for the delay Spencer Gerald did end up for the last 6 years of his life living in New Zealand in Wellington. He apparently worked as a hospital warden before settling down with a new partner Jane Treufelt and had two more daughters. Unsure if he did marry Jane but noted on his death certificate she is referred to as his partner with her previous married name on it. AnnAus

Cornwall Completed Lookup Requests / Henry & John Jolly
« on: Friday 07 April 17 01:49 BST (UK) »
Hi Wayne, oops I'm still waking up as I do shift work. Yes some of the family did move to Australia one in particular was William Jolly who was once Mayor of Brisbane and there is a bridge named after him crossing the Brisbane river. Still don't know too much about him but I don't think he returned to New Zealand. I believe only four of the brothers moved from Cornwall to New Zealand. I don't sadly have a photograph of my great grandfather Henry and only just got one of John Jolly whom he lived with or near in Hokitika before he died. I believe Henry gave up farming and his family to go Gold Hunting in 1860. Didn't take any photos of grave site as there was nothing there and we weren't 100% sure if it was the correct site. As the info I had been given the people next to him I can't find who they belong to in the Jolly family. I have a feeling there may have been another Jolly family in the same area at the same time. I'm slowly gathering stuff together with the help of a second cousin in the Luxton family line whose Mother was a descendant of the Jolly family. regards Ann

Cornwall Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Jolly Family from around Cornwall
« on: Wednesday 05 April 17 04:43 BST (UK) »
Hi Wayne, This is Ann I've just returned from Hokitika Seaview cemetery to check out great grandfather Henry Jolly's burial site which is unmarked. Last I visited Cornwall but didn't get time to check much out there apart from seeing the area the Jolly family came from. James is our great great grandfather through Henry Jolly's son Morton Henry. I do know that John Henry spent sometime in Australia before he settled down in the South Island in Hokitika. After Henry's dead in 1915 John moved up to Auckland to live. Only have William - Henry - John - Elizabeth on my tree but know there were other siblings as well. Regards Ann

Hi There,
Trying to find the missing years of my late father Spencer Gerald Workman who was born in London in 1917 and went to Wanstead High School in East London Essex. Apparently there are no records of this school anymore that my half sister has tried to locate. His Mother split from her husband Benjamin Lester Workman who apparently wasn't the father of Spencer. Trying to find out what he did
in his early years prior to the age of thirty. Know he later married in England before he left for Australia in his mid 30's. He did run a Scrap Metal business after WW2 in London. Ann

Hi everyone,
Many thanks for all the help of my missing mysterious great grandfather William Perrin. You have found more than I have in the past 20 yrs about him. Can now understand why no one in the family talked about him.
Does anyone know anything about the child son he had with his first wife Agnes?
Thank you all once again super help.
