Australia / Mary Josine BULL
« on: Tuesday 13 July 10 22:58 BST (UK)  »
In 1902  Mary Josine Bull married Francis Julius Beckensall in Victoria. 
Don't know who Mary's parents were.
Francis was born in 1881 at Omaru, NZ.  He died in 1936 in Caulfield, Victoria.
He join the Army in 1916 and listed he was married but did not put his wife's name, only his mother's name for notification.
Though I looked in the bmd for nz can't find any info for Francis.
Likewise, can't find a birth, marriage or death notice for Mary in bmd nsw or Victoria.
Am trying to find out if they had children at all, or if they divorced or remarried.

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Does anyone know if Fanny (born 18 June 1865 in Berkshire, England), went with her mother Jane Beckensall and baby brother Walter to Victoria Australia in 1883 or did she stay in NZ? George Beckensall, possibly her father, died in 1878 in NZ.

Thanks

Australia / Beckensall, Evans
« on: Wednesday 16 June 10 03:02 BST (UK)  »
Great grandfather Walter Herbert Beckensall was apparently born 25 April 1883 in Timaru New Zealand. 

We have come to the conclusion that our gg grandparents were George Beckensall and Jane Evans.  On Walter’s birth certificate Jane does not list a husband.  Apparently Jane and Walter sailed from Timau NZ to Victoria in 1884. Though George must have gone to Victoria as there is a record that he died in Victoria.

I found on the LDS site George Beckensall married Jane Evans on 17 October 1868 in Steventon, Berkshire England.  I thought this was a good match. But I have not been able to find when they sailed for NZ or Victoria for that matter.

They had several children in England before leaving:

Milton Berks and Maryanne Evans born 20 March 1859 and died May 1859
(believed to be Jane's children before she married George)

Fanny Dearlove Evans born 18 June 1865
(believed to be Jane's daughter before she married George)

Thursa Georgina born 1869
(believed to have died in NZ)

Francis Julius born 1881 died 1936 Caulfield Vic.

Albert Edward born abt 1871 Steventon Berks
When Jane died in 1992 it was listed on the death certificate that Albert was 52 years old.
(don't know what has happend to him)

And or course Walter died at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915.

Jane died in 1922 aged 82 in Warburton Victoria.

Any info would be appreciated.
