Lancashire / Where to Start looking.
« on: Monday 12 October 15 06:47 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for any records of my Grand mother who, according to her Australian wedding certificate,  was born in Manchester England.

Unfortunately my Grand Mother used a number of alias's during her life time and never left any record of her date of birth, I can only approximate the dates.

Can anybody help by pointing me in the right direction or help me search for her. I believe her name was Patricia Irene Hough she was probably born between 1890 and 1900. On her 1945 Australian death certificate it states her age as 48. In police gazette reports there are comments that she "looked old for age", I wonder whether she had fudged the dates a bit.

The first record I have of her in Australia was 1925. So I assume, due her extremely active criminality  that date that would be close to the year she arrived in Australia.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I would like some help from somebody who can interpret the attached document. I know it to be either an adoption form or to foster a child.

I need to know the names of people involved i.e. Natural mother if father named adopted or foster parents names any dates that maybe relevant to events i.e. if there has been permission to leave the Sweden for the child if fostered.

Thank you
Mick :)

Dublin / Patricia Irene Hough
« on: Saturday 10 October 15 22:17 BST (UK)  »
I am researching for my Grand mother who arrived in Australia in or around 1925, made somewhat difficult due to her constant brushes with the Australian Authorities. She used a number of alias's but I am fairly sure her birth name was Hough. On her marriage certificate she states her father as: Patrick Hough a tailor and mother Patricia O'Connelly. I have no birth date for her but on her death certificate of 1945 she is stated as being 48.

It also states that she was born in Manchester but I believe this is incorrect and that she was born in Dublin. I have no idea on where to start my searches I have tried several sites but keep hitting a brick wall can anybody suggest where I should begin.

Please not this search has been under way for 30 years as my Gmother used so many alias's while a live she drifted with her husband up and down the eastern seaboard states of Australia making any search difficult and when fact found hard to verify. But most information I now have is solid and confirmed.   
Thanks
Mick

I am looking for details on my grand father John Walantin Engstrom. I believe he was born in Sweden on the 9th March 1896 in Klara Parish Stockholm.

I believe another RootsChat user may be searching for the same person, if any body knows of aussie-girl would you pass onto her my details.
Thanks
