John Madden (1) born 1833 Mountshannon, County Clare, Ireland - father Henry Madden and wife,  Grace Long married Hannah Hopkins in 1858,  Maitland N.S.W.  He was sponsored by Benjamin Long and his wife Catherine to Sydney aboard "Admiral Lyons" in 1855 he married Hannah Hopkins in 1858 at Maitland N.S.W.   They had ten children born in Hinton, Maitland, N.S.W.  We know John had one brother, Henry born 1838 in Ireland and came to Australia with John.

John Madden (2) born 1854 Galway, Ireland, - father Patrick and wife Sarah.  Married Hannah Reynolds in 1883 Ireland.  They travelled to Australia aboard "S.S. Cambodia" on 4th April, 1884.
John age 26 years and Hannah 23 years from Donegal, Ireland.   Their first son, Basil Trevor Madden was born 11th June, 1885, Hinton, Maitland N.S.W.

I feel that there must be a relationship between these two John Madden's - why else would they both come from Ireland to live in Hinton, Maitland.
Did John and Henry have another brother who stayed in Ireland?

Both John's and their wives Hannah were resident in Hinton, Maitland, N.S.W.

Seeking Marriage of John Madden and Hannah Reynolds.  John born 1858 County Clare, Galway, and Hannah born 1861 Donegal.   We think they married about 1883;  as they left Ireland aboard the 'Cambodia'  in 1884 for Australia.  On the ships Manifest if stated that John's occupation was that of a Coachman and Hannah was a Cook.

Thanks for helping me,

Ballard born 1923 Aberdeen, Scotland.  Served in the Merchant Navy World War II.
Son would like to find his War Records and if he received any medals.

Any advice as to where I could find this information would be appreciated.

Hi,
I'm researching William Ballard who married Elizabeth Wright at St. Mary & St. Eanswythe Church Folkestone, on 16th September, 1771.  Their first son Richard was also Baptised there on 14th February, 1772.
Elizabeth's parents Richard Wright and Margaret Baker were also married there on 6th July, 1755.

The Marriage Entry states that the Banns were read for three weeks prior to their Marriage and that they were both of the Parish.

I have been unable to find any details of William Ballard i.e. date of birth; where; Parents.

Any suggestions where I can look would be greatly appreciated.

William Ballard married Elizabeth Wright on 16/9/1771 at St. Mary & St. Earnswythe Church Folkstone, Kent.  Elizabeth born 14/12/1755,  was the daughter of Richard & Margaret (nee Baker) Wright married 6/7/1755 at the same church.
Margaret Baker born 23/5/1738 is the daughter of Tillot Baker (died 1/5/1784)  and his wife Mary ?Beckett.

William and Elizabeth had a son named Richard in 1772 and a daughter Margaret 1773;  Samuel 1775 .... then gap ... Joseph 1779.

I am trying to find the parents of William Ballard, his date of birth and death. On the Marriage Entry it states that William Ballard, Batchelor, of this Parish, St. Mary & St. Earnswythe, Folkstone.  I have searched many sites looking at Wills but to no avail. 
I would also like to trace any further children born to William and Elizabeth.
