Suffolk Lookup Requests / CUNDY Birth
« on: Saturday 25 January 14 10:56 GMT (UK)  »
G'day Chatters,
I am hoping someone can help me please.
I am seeking the birth of one Robert CUNDY sometime between 1813 and 1818. His parents are believed to be George and Sarah. Unfortunately I have no idea what Parish this event was in.
He was convicted in 1831 at the Colchester Essex Quarter Sessions for house breaking and transported to Australia aboard the vessel Lady Harewood.
Many thanks in advance.

The birth I now believe may have been in Ipswich.

Australia / Conditional Land Purchases
« on: Wednesday 24 October 12 10:56 BST (UK)  »
G'day Chatters,

Several years ago I viewed fische firstly at Cootamundra Library and the later at Newcastle Regional Library which listed the names of people having purchased land under the 1862 Conditional Purchase Act. In this manner I was able to locate land an ancestor bought initially. These fische allowed me to see the change of hands of this property.
My question is a request as to if any chatters have access to this information these days please.
Regards

Australia / Land Ownership Changes
« on: Sunday 07 October 12 11:31 BST (UK)  »
G'day Chatters,
Please forgive me if this has been duplicated as I tried earlier to post it.
I am seeking assistance please in following the change of ownership of a 10 acre block of land on Campbell's Creek aka Guigong Creek, out from Windeyer NSW. It was initially owned by Thomas TOWELLS, my great grandfather.
This block (Lot 106) has been indicated on the Parish maps of 1885, 1896, 1906, 1910, 1919, 1926 and 1969 for the Parish Warratra, County of Wellington Mudgee Land District,
The maps of 1885 and 1896 had my rellies name on the block. The maps of 1906, 1910 and 1919 did not. In 1926 and 1969 the Lot No was altered to 260 although on the 1969 an arrow indicated also a Lot No of 106. My rellies name was not on either of these two maps.
My Great Grandfather died in 1908.
I was hoping to follow the change of ownership and find the exact location as it is today.
Any assistance and guidance I can get will be greatly appreciated.
Regards

Australia / Land Ownership Changes
« on: Sunday 07 October 12 10:12 BST (UK)  »
G'day Chatters,
Can anyone advise me please of how I can chase down the various ownerships of a certain block of land and to whose name it changed.
What I currently have is taken from the Parish Map of 1885 for Warratra in the County of Wellington, Mudgee Land District of a 10 acre block, Lot 106, in the name of my g grandfather T (Thomas) TOWELLS.
The 1896 Parish Map has the same listing.
However the maps of 1906, 1910 and 1919 have the block marked out but without a name. (G grandfather Thomas TOWELLS died in 1908).
The 1926 map has the block set out but with the variation in the Lot No which is indicated as 260. It is abutted with a 194 acre block in the name of O D COC.
The 1969 map also has the block as 260 but with an arrow at the bottom and the number 106 shown.
The block in question is on Campbell's Creek, upstream from Windeyer.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Regards

Kent / Thomas WILLIAMSON
« on: Monday 27 February 12 09:16 GMT (UK)  »
G'day Chatters,

I have a Thomas WILLIAMSON who with his wife had at least 8 children. The birth of all the children was registered in Maidstone between 1925 and 1937.
It is believed by the family that Thomas' partner/wife was one Catherine RING.
I am looking for a marriage of this couple.
Where they were "married" is unknown and the dates of when they were born is not known.
Again family belief is that Catherine was born somewhere in London, possibly Surrey.
Please forgive the uncertainty of the above information.
Regards to all

Australia / Immigrants 1841 to 1847
« on: Monday 06 February 12 09:21 GMT (UK)  »
G'day Chatters,

I have a James LOGIE from the Orkney Islands who arrived in Australia sometime between 1841 and 1847 inclusive.
It is not known at what port he arrived but the general thought is that it may have been Port Adelaide as it was at Adelaide that he was married 3 Jan 1848.
It is also not known if he were assisted or came under his own steam (or sail)
He was born in 1824 so his age would have been between 15 and 24.
Any assistance in locating his arrival would be appreciated.

Regards

« on: Friday 03 February 12 10:28 GMT (UK)  »
G'day Chatters,

I am hoping to obtain information on the LOGIE family of Westray and Papa Westray.

In particular with a James LOGIE who was born in 1824 to the parents of William and Mary nee BREMNER.

This James LOGIE came to Australia prior to 1848 and his Port of arrival is believed to be Port Adelaide.

New Zealand Completed Requests / Location of Birth
« on: Sunday 29 January 12 09:43 GMT (UK)  »
G'day Chatters,

I am seeking the location of a birth in the 1889/1890 period.
The name of the person is Arthur MacDonald.
I have a record of a registration in NZ for 1889 with the registration number 8532. I am hoping that I do not have to acquire the certificate. Arthur's mother is listed as Isobel.
Family notes have it that Arthur was born 9 Jun 1890.
I am doing this research for an elderly lady.

Regards
rr
