Australia / John Rouse Deacon FOOT
« on: Wednesday 07 June 17 16:36 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
According to the UK 1881 census JRDF & Hannah (nee TALL) had 4 children: Ellen I D (b abt 1868, no registration found); William R M (b abt 1865, no registration found); Hannah (b 1876) & John Rouse Upton (b 05 Jun 1882).

The family arrived in Victoria, Australia aboard the 'Orient' in 1886.

JRDF, a carpenter in 1881, died in Victoria in 1936, whilst Hannah (nee TALL) had predeceased him in 1914, also in Victoria.

I'm looking, without success, for what happened to the children and any other details regarding JRDF & Hannah.

Many thanks in advance,

AllanR

« on: Monday 14 April 14 18:29 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

Am looking for the above marriage - probably in Durham County before 1853 when eldest daughter Selina was born.  A second daughter followed (c 1856) before son John was born c 1858.

I don't have any babtismal data, nor do I know what happened to the family.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Australia / William Gilbert
« on: Thursday 07 November 13 13:26 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for William Gilbert in Austalia in the 1830s/1840s.

He and Harriet (surname unknown) had two children while they were in Australia - most likely South Australia. Bessie was born abt 1841 and William H was born abt 1844.

The family had returned to Devon by Quarter 3, 1846 as the next child was born in tis quarter in Devonport, Plymouth.

Any help greatly appreciated,

« on: Saturday 15 September 12 13:48 BST (UK)  »
Looking for William in either the 1861 or 1871 census in order to confirm his parents.  My searches using FindMyPast have not found anything conclusive.

William went on to marry Sarah Ann ROSEVEAR Dec Qtr 1862 and then emigrated to Australia where he died 1903 in Lithgow District, NSW.

South Africa / Wallis SHORT
« on: Saturday 23 June 12 15:06 BST (UK)  »
Wallis SHORT was born Qtr 1, 1857 in St Martins, Cornwall, England and emigrated to SA sometime after 1871, possibly to Natal.

I am interested to know where he settled, did he marry, and when (and where) he died?

Any help appreciated!

Australia Lookups completed / Maurice Froomes CHRISTIE *COMPLETED*
« on: Wednesday 04 August 10 17:57 BST (UK)  »
There is some doubt about Maurice Froomes CHRISTIE's birth & death dates (circa 1901 and 1979 in NSW).  However, he represented Australia in the 1924 Olympics and won a silver medal in the 4x200 metres swimming event.

Is there an obituary for him? - he married Amy Eileen TURTLE in 1927.

If not obituary, perhaps he appears on the Electoral Rolls?


Anyway, thanks in advance for any clues that you can give.
