Devon Lookup Requests / Coles & Rolestone married Christow 1849
« on: Saturday 09 April 22 12:53 BST (UK)  »
Charles Coles was baptised on 1 May 1825 in Christow, son of William Coles & Mary (unknown)
Charles married Mary Ann Rolstone Sep ¼1849 in the Christow parish church.
Mary Ann was baptised 28 Sep 1828,daughter of James Rolstone & Ann.(surname unknown)
My problem is finding the surnames of their mothers.
Familysearch gives a few to choose from but census records do not confirm any of them.
Public member trees have conflicting and dubious information with no primary sources.

Australia / James Clarke & Sarah Burgess marriage 1857
« on: Thursday 28 May 20 12:43 BST (UK)  »
Hi all
I am in need of the parents names & birth/baptism of James Clarke.
James Clarke, born c 1823 Sydney, was married to Sarah (Garnet) Burgess on 22 June 1857 at Marulan NSW (reg Goulburn 1857/1770.)
James & Sarah lived in Charleyong/Braidwood.
James died in Nowra in 1905 & Sarah named his father as James, occupation shopkeeper.
I have not found a birth for him, so before I send for a transcription of the marriage, does anyone have access to this marriage record & so supply his parents names.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Maude MAry Brown 1876 Shoalhaven NSw AUS
« on: Friday 07 February 20 09:31 GMT (UK)  »
If anyone can help with even a word or two from this headstone we will be very grateful.
We are cataloguing an old cemetery & have only this one headstone (4 lines of verse) left to decipher.
we have so far:
In Memory Of/ Maude Mary Brown/ aged 8 years/ who died at Parma Shoalhaven/ on the 31st Aug 1876.
Of the next four lines of verse we think the last word line 3  may be 'earth' last word line 4 could be 'mourn'

The family was presbyterian.
