Clare / HASTINGS RICHARDS Dunas c1830s
« on: Sunday 20 April 08 10:42 BST (UK)  »
Dear all,
Ann Hastings was born c1834 in Dunas, Co Clare (or perhaps in Limerick). She married a Charles Richards in the Victorian goldfields 1854. Her husband was born in Prussia but may have spent time in Ireland. [source: Victorian death certificates of Ann and Charles].

I am hoping to locate either of these families in that region at that time.

With many thanks in advance

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Charles Smith-Census 1841 1851
« on: Tuesday 15 April 08 09:59 BST (UK)  »
Dear volunteer,
Charles Smith was born in London in the period 1830-1834 most likely 1832.
He emigrated sometime before his marriage in Melbourne, Australia 16 Dec 1852
Family hearsay is that he was from the Smiths that begat Elizabeth Cook nee Batts, wife of Captain James Cook, navigator. It is said these families spent time with each other; it is therefore possible that these surnames will be found cohabiting in the censuses.
With many thanks in advance

Laois (Queens) / LANGFORD
« on: Tuesday 01 April 08 11:37 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,
I am hoping for leads on the LANGFORD family.
John Langford(c1800-1860) was born Ballyhupahaun  He married a Sarah Curtis(c1808-1895). Children were John, William, Ann and Jane.
William (b Drummond 1839 d Brunswick Victoria 1912) married 1864 Wesleyan Chapel, Charleston Rd, Dublin, Ireland to  Louisa Sinclair Jones (b 1839 Dublin died 1915 Melbourne Victoria). [source: family history document]. I note a William and Louisa and 4 children were present on the  'Western Empire' which  arrived Melbourne September 1871 [Victorian PRO]

My family history document says: "They lived at Drummond, Ireland and their graves are in the Churchyard of St Brigids Church at Rosenallis..... The land they farmed has changed hands several times but as far as I know is still known as "Langford's field" at Rosenallis. There are several tablets and a window in the church to the memory of departed Langfords."

I would be grateful if anyone has leads on this family

Best wishes to all
Stuart
