Hi everyone. this will be a bit long winded.

Robert Vaughan b:1852 Sydney - d:1933 Mortdale, Sydney. Robert is my 2xgreat grandfather and that is confirmed. His baptism states that his father was also Robert and mother was Margaret Lynch. Thats where is goes dead on his parents. I have his records sorted 2 marriages, kids etc.
My great grandfather was Henry Neville Livingstone Vaughan b:1884 d:1972.

Now there is some confusion amongst the family as they also have a Henry Edward Vaughan b: 1842 Sydney d: 1901 Katoomba in the mix.

His father was Henry John b: 1791 Isleworth, England d: 1871 Sydney. He was a convict and eventually a very successful business man, as was Henry Edward. Realestate.

The family has heaps of photos and stuff of Henry Edward and they believe that he our 2x great grandfather. All my research and some personal notes from my grandmother point to Robert Vaughan.

One more thing Henry John is believed to have left a wife behind in England with possibly for children. A wild guess but could one of them be Robert?

How can I go about finding out the connection?

Thanks heaps

Hi,

Is there any chance that someone out there can tell me how or where I might be able to get a photo or any info really on 6 Newman Street. Now obviously I don't mean a photo of the current residence at the address, that would just be creepy.

Three generations of the Vaughan family lived at the address from around 1910 to 1950. I have found a few news paper articles and heaps of electoral rolls and census forms. My mum has found memories of the house but unfortunately no photos have survived.

I have asked the local museum but they couldn't really help.

I know its a bit of a long shot but you never know.

Cheers, Chucky

Hi folks

I would very much appreciate any help I can get regarding my 2 x great grandmother, Caroline Barley.

If my research is correct Caroline was born in Whitton, Linclonshire on the 19th February 1865. I have the 1871 & 1881 census records showing her details but then there is a 10 year gap before she marries my 2 x great grandfather Charles Ernest deCheppe in Mumbai in India on the 10th March 1891.

Can anyone tell me how to find records of passenger lists from the UK to India between 1881 and 1891, or any other information?

Thanks

Chucky

Hi everyone
I'm trying to find some record of my 2 x great grandfather. My grandfather was William John Crocker (1903-1988) my great grandfather William John (1865-1932). George James Crocker (1843-) father died when he was 12 and his name was George. I have assumed that George junior may have gone by the name James as an adult. His wife is just as confusing, first name is Isabella, but I can't confirm a surname. It could be either Hogg or Short. Any help would be appreciated.
