The Common Room / Newspaper death notice - New Zealand & Bristol papers please copy
« on: Monday 22 July 13 05:28 BST (UK)  »
I have found a death notice in the Launceston, Tasmania "Examiner" newspaper.

Launceston Examiner Wed 20 July 1881
DEATHS.
BURSTON—On the 19th July, at his residence, Brisbane-street, Mr William Burston, aged 72 years. (New Zealand and Bristol papers please copy.)

Would this mean that he had previously lived in both these places.

Warwickshire / birth of John Windsor abt 1812
« on: Thursday 29 April 10 05:36 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
Looking for the birth of John Windsor who was sent to Australia in 1828 or 1829 arriving per Georgiana on 29th April 1829.
His convict record shows his native place as Birmingham, Warwickshire.
Age shown means he would have been born around 1812.

I have all his convict information after his arrival in Tasmania, Australia

England / Marriage - John James Blower to Sarah Elizabeth Blower
« on: Thursday 29 April 10 05:31 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
Looking for a marriage between John James BLOWER (b abt 1840), possibly of Wolverhampton & Sarah Elizabeth BLOWER (b abt 1845) of Minsterley, Shropshire
Sarah's parents are James Blower and Hannah Titley both of Shropshire.
The eldest born to John and Sarah is Kate Blower (b 1867, Minsterley) while 3 other siblings, Mary Ann, John Albert, Herbert James, were all born in Leyton, Essex, Eng
The 1871 census for Essex show Sarah's birthplace as Wolverhampton but John's birthplace is left blank, while the three children living with them all have the correct birthplace and the eldest, Kate, is shown as Minsterley, Shropshire in 1867. That's why I think John was born in Wolverhampton as I know Sarah was born in Minsterley.
I know they were living on Phillibrook Farm, Leyton, Essex in 1871.

Herbert James is my GGF and I have never been able to find a marriage for his parents.

Any ideas where I could look.

Scotland / birth, Andrew Finlayson
« on: Thursday 29 April 10 05:24 BST (UK)  »
Looking for the birth of Andrew FINLAYSON whose was born in Scotland about 1820.
Father is Robert FINLAYSON but not the Robert who married Margaret WHYTE in Dunblane.
Andrew married Sarah MARSHALL in London in 1840 then emigrated to Australia in 1842.
Andrew added Hunter as his 2nd name, whether he was christened with this name we don't know, when he married Emily Drake in Hobart, Tasmania, Aust in 1874.
Newspaper notice for this said he was the 6th son of Robert FINLAYSON of Scotland

Hope you can help
