Hi all

Can anyone tell me please if the Royal Oak pub which suffered a fire in March 2009 would have been the same building as "Royal Oak" in the 1841 census - publican Mary Tapp?

And after the fire, was the building demolished or restored?

thanks, gladyseva

Hi again

In April Riley kindly found an ITM for me - another was elusive because I didn't have enough details.

I now have the marriage registration and would appreciate a lookup if someone can help out please:

William Peter NELSON and Eliza JOHNSON (widow) married Registrar's Office, Wellington 2 March 1893.

Cheers and thanks, gladyseva

I have the register copy of marriage by licence for John HOWARD and Mary Ann CARTER, St Peter's, Melbourne 11 Nov 1852.

I have birth registration of daughter Eliza HOWARD b. 14 July 1860 at Sandy Creek, Inglewood giving parents' birthplaces as Portsmouth (father) and Camberwell (mother) - there are 5 living children at that time.

Both John's baptism in Portsmouth and death in NZ are as: John Jewell Howard.

I have obit from NZ newspaper saying John arrived Melbourne in 1848 after 115 day voyage on "Indian Queen"; then to Christchurch NZ 1864.  However I can't find proof that "Indian Queen" sailed that year and can't isolate him on other passenger lists.

Would the marriage licence give more details of when both John HOWARD and Mary Ann CARTER arrived in Australia? - if so, is it available and where?  Any other suggestions or new set of eyes to look at passenger lists?

Thanks, gladyseva

Is Snenton (near the Trent River and Carlton and Lenton) the same place as Sneinton?

Snenton spelling is used on IGI (and an Alvey website).  Sneinton spelling is from Genuki.

Thanks.
