« on: Thursday 28 February 19 09:55 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
    I am looking for assistance in finding death records for George Brown & Hannah Brown (née Woodward) who died in Manila, Philippines in 1850. George had been working in an iron foundry in Sydney prior to his death. At the time of his death George was 25 and Hannah was 23.

This one has really got me stumped and any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks,
Paul

Family History Beginners Board / Cannot find BDM NSW record of death for Bridget Brown nee McGuggin OR McGuggan
« on: Monday 11 February 19 09:06 GMT (UK)  »
any help appreciated in solving the ongoing and extremely frustrating search for information on Bridget Brown nee McGuggin OR McGuggan.
Facts I know .....

(1) Arrived with her sister Mary on the RED ROVER on 10th August, 1832.
(2) Married Charles William Brown at Scots Church, Elizabeth Street, Sydney on 28th October, 1833.
(3) They had two children .... Charlotte Mary Ann who lived till 1918 and John who died in 1837 aged         5 months and 14 days.
(4) Bridget died on 8th June, 1837 at Elizabeth Street, Sydney after a long severe illness. I know this from a Death Notice placed in The Australian on 9th June, 1837 by her husband who was a newspaper Editor.

My health is not great and I would dearly love to solve the mystery as to exactly where in Ireland she originated, her parents names and to understand why there is no BDM Death record for her online.

Any thoughts?

Family History Beginners Board / Thomas McNamara (born Abt 1830 in Newtown, County Roscommon, Ireland)
« on: Thursday 23 April 15 09:21 BST (UK)  »
Need help researching Thpmas McNamara who was born circa 1830 in Newtown, County Roscommon, Ireland. He married Bridget McCarthy in 1830 in Lescannoe, County Clare, Ireland and I know that she emigrated to Australia and lived in Brisbane until her death in 1927. I have no knowledge as to whether Thomas accompanied her and if so when he died and where he he was buried. This link is critical for the family line I am researching and it seems to go nowhere.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Family History Beginners Board / Searching for anything on Bridget McGuggin/McGaggin/McGuggan from Ireland
« on: Tuesday 21 April 15 03:39 BST (UK)  »
I am researching Bridget McGuggin/McGaggin/McGuggan. She would be born abt 1813 in Ireland and emigrated to Australia on the Red Rover in 1832 with her sister Mary Ann. In 1833 she married Charles William Brown and had two children (John and Charlotte Mary Anne) and according to a death notice she died in 1837 after a long illness. I cannot find a BDM entry for her death and know absolutely nothing of her history in Ireland or her family there. I would appreciate any assistance anyone can provide on this very challenging research.

Thanks,
Paul
