Ireland / Travers, Gray and Baker
« on: Tuesday 18 December 12 13:17 GMT (UK)  »
Susan (Travers or Gray) was born around 1801 in Ireland. Death certificate states her father was John Travers. I am wondering the name of her mother and whether her birth name was Susan Travers, where she was born in Ireland, etc. She arrived in Australia in 1823 on the "Princess Royal" as a 22 year old widow, her name was Susan Baker at the time. The "Princess Royal" left from England, so she may have been living there prior to departing. Death certificate of her son, Archibald Thomas Simpson, says that her name before marriage to John Ewbank Simpson was Susan Gray.

England / Stevens - Phipps
« on: Sunday 16 December 12 13:42 GMT (UK)  »
The information I am looking for is where Joseph Stevens was born, his father's name and where and when his parents were born. His mother was Rachel Phipps. He was born around 1812. The town is possibly called Bradwell or Bradwell, but I do not know where that is located. He married Albinia Gallop in Bristol, Somerset in 1839, and they lived in Wales for some time, where their son, Charles Henry Stevens, was born.

Tipperary / Michael John Cantwell/Bridget Hanley
« on: Tuesday 29 November 11 19:59 GMT (UK)  »
Looking for more information about Michael John Cantwell and Bridget Hanley - both immigrated to Australia seperately, married and had a child, Australian born Mary Cantwell. Briget Hanley - only her father's name is given: John Hanley. Tipperary is mentioned as the origin of both Michael John Cantwell and Bridget Hanley in some records that have been found; his parents names are according to death certificate: John Cantwell and Ann Hammel. Could anyone help me find more about them and their parents?

Monaghan / Miller - Ballybay
« on: Wednesday 12 October 11 18:26 BST (UK)  »
Looking for information on William Miller. This is what has been found so far: From Monaghan, born around 1815, parents could be James and Rosannah Miller, he was a Protestant, went from Dublin, Ireland to Hobart, Tasmania, Australia in 1842, married Mary Dumbrell in 1847, had a son William Miller in 1851, and died in Tasmania, Australia in 1895.

Any ideas about where to look to find more about him?
I'd like to know which records from that period I should I look into.

Australia / Frederick GREEN and Agnes CARR
« on: Sunday 02 October 11 18:09 BST (UK)  »
I'm looking for information on Frederick Green and Agnes Carr. I know only what is shown in the documents I have in my possession - such as New South Wales and Tasmania, Australia Convict Musters, 1806-1849 and various other documents related to their transportation to Australia; I am aware that they married and had children in Tasmania, but I have yet to find any more info on either of them in terms of birth places and exact birth years in England, as well as parents names.

http://www.convictrecords.com.au/convicts/carr/agnes/92095
http://www.convictrecords.com.au/convicts/green/frederick/28697

I would like to see these records:

Australia Marriage Index, 1788-1950
Marriage & Divorce
   
Frederick Broughan Green = Agnes Carr

   


Also, I would like to see these records, found in the Criminal Registers:

Location of Trial
"Frederick Green abt 1824 10 Apr 1837 Lancashire, England"
"Agnes Carr abt 1823 9 Jul 1838    Lancashire, England"


I would appreciate any suggestions about where to look for any other documents, that could, if these don't, state birth places and exact birth years in England, as well as parents name.

Could anyone help me?
Thanks.

Australia / Victoria Birth – Mary CANTWELL
« on: Sunday 02 October 11 10:12 BST (UK)  »
I'm looking for information on Mary Cantwell, born in Corop, Victoria, around 1880's, marriage info states she married in 1904 to Charles Henry Stevens, and her birth place as Corop; so with this knowledge there are the only two results to be found for Mary Cantwell, born in Corop (both of which I can't access) - I'd like to see both, found at ancestry.com in the Australia Birth Index, 1788-1922:

   Australia Birth Index, 1788-1922
Birth, Baptism & Christening
   
Name:    Mary Hanora Cantwell
Birth:    year - Corop, Victoria
   
   Australia Birth Index, 1788-1922
Birth, Baptism & Christening
   
Name:    Mary Cantwell
Birth:    year - Corop, Victoria

Could anyone help me?
Thanks.
