Staffordshire Lookup Requests / Thomas PRICE, Blymhill parish records
« on: Friday 28 October 11 16:09 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for parish records for my ancestor Thomas Price, who was born approximately 1836 in Great Chatwell to John Price and Elizabeth Jones, and died 1909 in Shifnal. He was married to Catherine Simmonds/Simmons (year?), and they had several children George (1873), Ellen (1876), and Thomas (1877).

I cannot find any online source for the Blymhill parish records; if anyone has access to these, I would like to look for his christening and marriage records (most of the information I have so far is from census records).

thanks, Glenn

Australia / BAILEY Ann Barton
« on: Friday 28 October 11 15:43 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find out what became of an ancestor, Annie Bailey.

Ann Barton Bailey was born about 1852 in Derbyshire to Edward Bailey and Mary Anne Humphreys Bailey nee Barton. The family emigrated to Victoria, Australia during the gold rush. Annie first married Johann Stahl in 1866 and had several children (Annie 1867, John 1870 and William 1872). She also had another two children (Alfred 1876 and Henrietta 1878) registered as surname Stahl, but who were probably children of her second husband Henry James Tedder. She married Henry Tedder in 1878 and had several more children (Charlotte 1881, Isaac 1884, Arthur 1886, and Arabella 1889).

Some time in the early 1900s, she is said to have left her second husband for someone else and have moved to Queensland. However, I don't have any more details. The last record I have of her is the 1903 Bendigo electoral roll.

I have tried looking for a death certificate for her in the Queensland BDM, but without success. I don't know which surname she would have gone by (Bailey, Stahl, or Tedder, or something else).

Not much to go on, I know...

thanks, Glenn

Europe / DENMARK: Christian Alexander Dahl
« on: Friday 28 October 11 15:23 BST (UK)  »
Looking for ideas on tracing an ancestor from Denmark/Prussia, I'm not sure what resources are available (and I'm a bit hampered by only speaking English).

The person I am tracing is Christian Alexander Dahl, who emigrated from Schleswig Holstein to Australia during the gold rush (probably sometime between 1856 and 1864). His naturalization certificate shows him as being from Tønder, Haderslev, Aakenraa-Sondenborg. He was born around 1840 to parents Hans Dahl and Helena Pawson (I'm guessing perhaps an anglicization of Poulsen). He married Ellen Denney in 1864 in Castlemaine, Victoria, and had a number of children.

I am hoping to find information prior to his emigration from Denmark.

thanks, Glenn
