Australia Lookups completed / Re: Henry Davey EDWARDS

Hi Janus123,

Yes it fits that that is my ancestor Emily Haines Beckwith and the man was Henry Davey/Davy Edwards. Do you know what relation they were to the other people in the photo? Can you possibly show me somehow through scan or something because I have no photos of any of my relations on that side and this is so exciting! Are you in Australia?

Sorry his parents did die in a car accident in canada and that is the reason for his immigration... I found out the 'Norman' for Stephen's second name from a family member, but no one can recall anything else to help in the search. His wife's last name was Embry.

Hi,

Can anyone help me find my great-grandmother's maiden name? Her name was Phyllis and she married John Taylor (hailing from Canada) after 1934. They were married before WW11. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thankyou, Anna Brisbane

Yes, in the queensland australia bdm search his death records show his parents names. His wife was Phyllis so that record of WW1 is probably right. His parents are sure hard to track!

Canada / John Taylor

Hello,

My great grandfather John Taylor came out from Canada to Australia in 1930 aboard the QE2 when he was 17. Apparently his parents Stephen Norman Taylor and Ruth Helen Lipsett (Lippset/Lifford) died young in a car accident. Can anybody help me trace the family back any further? Where was John born and his parents too?

Thankyou for all of your help,

Thanks everyone,

I wasn't sure whether I could respond to the different threads. Sorry! I really am grateful for all of your help. So it seems that Graham Hunter Pierce is quite a difficult man to research. Was he married to Mercy Burnett Pierce or Frances? Which one? And where does Emily fit in? How can this puzzle be sorted out? But thankyou everyone for your help and support. Really appreciated! :)

Hello,

I need some information on GRAHAM HUNTER PIERCE who was born 1849 in Southwark and died in 1911 Sydney, Aus. He married Mercy Burnet (not sure if this is a surname or middle name) and they had a daughter, Emily , who died in 1918 Sydney. Thanks!

Australia / Frank Herman READ

Helllo,

I am researching my ancestor FRANK HERMAN READ who was married to Emily Margrette Pierce. They had a daughter Ethel Clair Read who was born 1895 in Sydney, NSW. She married in 1920 and quoted her parents as manufacturer. Any information would be most welcome.

Derbyshire / John Fidler
« on: Thursday 25 March 10 01:25 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,

I am tracing an ancestor JOHN FIDLER who was married to ELIZABETH DOBB. They married in Nottinghamshire, but on the census for 1901 John states his birthplace as CATHIFFE, DERBYSHIRE. There is no mention of him in 1881 (his supposed birth year) nor in 1891, when he should have been at least 12 years old. Is Cathiffe an actual place in derbyshire, or did the scribe mistake it for another place? Is there any mention of a john fidler on the birth records? Please any help would be great.

Thankyou, Anna Edwards Brisbane Australia
