Hi,
I'm hoping to (hopefully) pinpoint where my ggg grandparents were buried before we arrive there in June this year. I know they were living in Lugtrout Lane, Solihull (thank you again Rambler ) & below is the details of the death registrations:

Sept.1845/Meriden/16/247.
Meriden was the Reg.Dist. for Hampton.

& there's this Burial for an Ann Arnold:
16/9/1837/Solihull,no age given.

I realise Birmingham is a very large area but would there be a more likely cemetery for the Solihull area & do they have online records over there?

cheers,
Carleen

hi everyone,

i posted a version of this on the Staffordshire board a few days ago & have since found out, thanks to Rambler , that John Arnold was born in Warwickshire instead... sorry I don't know how to post the url to link there

looking for whatever information I can glean on John Arnold  in Warwickshire or surrounds & his parents before he left England with his wife Harriet. This is what I know:

John Arnold
b. abt 1816 in Warwickshire, England
parents - Richard Arnold & Ann Wall (both born & married in Warwickshire)
m. Harriet Clarke 13.12.1839 in Aston, Warwickshire, England
went to NZ in 1842 for 3 yrs
then NSW in 1845
d. 29.10.1900 in Redfern, NSW

Harriet Clarke
b. 5.1.1817 in Wolverhampton, England
parents - Michael Clarke & Sarah Penny
intervening years as for John Arnold
d. 3.10.1895 in Newtown, NSW

several children -
Arthur - born in England 1841-
unknown - born & died on the voyage to NZ 1842
Sarah Ann - born NZ 1844-
Jane - born Aust 1845-
John - 1849-
Elizabeth - 1850-
Harriet - 1852-
Louisa - 1854-
Emily Clara - 1860-

I am looking for information on any of the following:

James Davoren Casey - born in Ireland, Clare or Cork abt 1851. (Death Cert lists Cork but Casey & Davoren appear to be more common names in Clare & both appear on the Griffiths valuation in the same area of Rathboney)

parents: James Casey - b.abt 1820 & Bridget Davoren - b. abt 1819

James Davoren came to Australia (Sth Australia) to join his two brothers Jeremiah Darby & John - not sure when but maybe early 1870s; he married here in 1876 to Amelia or Emily Quinn.

Ideally, I'd love information on when the 3 boys travelled to Australia plus where in Ireland the family lived as well as anything else to be found on James & Bridget (parents).

Researching James Casey is a bit like looking for John Smith! I've posted this to the Clare board as well because of the notation on James D's death certificate.

thanks in advance,
cma

My mother always said she was a twin but that her brother died either at birth or very soon after & that the same thing happened when her youngest sister (half-sister actually, 20 years mum's junior) was born. Does anyone know if there would have been records kept of this in the early to mid 1900s & how I would go about finding them if there are? I guess it's curiosity more than anything as I wouldn't expect any records to tell me anything I don't know already about the family.

mum: Mary Jean Tottie Casey, born SA 13/4/1915 to James Leonard Casey & Lillian May nee Speed.

aunt: Joan Vinette Mackey, born NSW 13/4/1935 to John George Mackey & Lillian May nee Speed

thanks,
cma
