Australia / TODD.Brothers, Mervon/Mervyn, Arthur, Walter

« on: Tuesday 23 June 15 00:13 BST (UK) »

Hi, I was wondering if someone could do a Electoral role lookup for the above brothers. I am after their respective occupations. I know that both Mervyn and Arthur were Boxers but wondered if they held other skills and did other work to supplement their incomes? Also what Walter did for a living.
Mervyn was born 1902 Sydney, Married in 1935 Randwick to Emily WATSON, Died 1963.
Walter was born 1904 sydney, Married 1928 Queanbeyan Elsie JOHNSTON, Died after 1985.Lived the majority of his life Canberra/Queanbeyan
Arthur was born 1906 Sydney Married 1928 Hurstville to Ellen IRVING died 1946.

I have most of their respective details but if SKS could do a lookup that would be most appreciated.

Cheers

It would seem technical difficulties are still plaguing the NSW BMD, they are closed for maintenance this weekend.

"Due to technical maintenance, Family History Search is expected to be unavailable from:

7pm Friday 17 April to 7pm Sunday 19 April 2015".

So get in before if you are researching.

Australia / CHANTLER FAMILY, Canterbury SYDNEY and Warialda NSW

« on: Thursday 18 December 14 23:52 GMT (UK) »

Well it looks like a quiet day on the board so I might as well give those willing, something to do.

John CHANTLER Married my Aunt Hilda TODD. It is his family that could do with some more branches or leaves on the family tree.

John CHANTLER was b1898 Windsor NSW to John and Mary SHANAHAN, they were married at Petersham Sydney in 1896.

There is some connection to Warialda NSW and also to Canterbury in Sydney which is in my time as I can remember a little bloke being able to watch the races off their front verandah. It was an old home even the 1950's so must go back a bit further. But that is where I stop.

I would be interested in the roots of the family both in NSW and possible immigration details along with whereabouts in England (presumed) they came from.

Thanks in advance for any help.
