Suffolk Lookup Requests / Peachey from Suffolk
« on: Tuesday 25 December 12 10:03 GMT (UK)  »
This is like looking for a needle in a haystack but here goes.

I have a George Edward Peachey born about 1835 somewhere in Suffolk. He died in Australia in 1892. His parents are listed as George and Elma. I have not been able to find when or where he came to Australia. :D :D :D

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Cave from Wigan area
« on: Saturday 14 November 09 03:59 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for a Thomas Fairhurst Cave born about 1874 in the Wigan area. He moved to the Durham area and married an Eliza Armstrong in 1894. I have been able to locate Eliza's family on all the Census, but Thomas eludes me.

I don't know his parents so this is making it very hard. The middle name Fairhurst would suggest a marriage between a Cave and Fairhurst.....but I have had no luck in finding any info.

Hoping for a reply.

Australia / Timothy HIGGINS......Warialda & Inverell
« on: Friday 04 September 09 08:00 BST (UK)  »
Good afternoon to all.

I am looking for a lead for a Timothy Higgins who died in 1867 in Warialda, , New South Wales, Australia . His parents are listed as Dominick and Catherine Higgins.

He married Ann STUART in Armidale, NSW in 1856.

I have been unable to find a shipping record for him and also unable to find a birth in NSW.

I have most of his children by his marriage to Ann listed.

Kerry

Australia Lookups completed / Convict Tattoos

Hi ,

I'm hoping for some insight and help with the following tattoo symbols...
Ship on right breast,
 
SB ace of clubs in a heart three stars and wreath on the left,
 
and large star between both,
 
mermaid on upper
 
 man, two women, GBABMB on lower right arm,
 
mermaid on upper,
 
 man, 2 women, WBSB on lower left arm, filigree work on each wrist,
 
 anchor and star on back of left hand,
 
 blue ring on middle finger of same.   
 
These are recorded on my convict Hugh Bailie who arrived in 1839. He was from Glasgow, Scotland. I am assuming that the initials are family members.
Regards,
