Ireland / Goldburg and Maddock/Maddack
« on: Saturday 03 July 10 20:32 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone help please and advise me where to get some information relating to a possible emigration from Ireland to New Zealand.

Nicholas Thomas Goldberg born c.1865 was living in New Zealand in 1888 when he married.  Nicholas's marriage certificate states that he was born in Ireland but the birth index state that he was born in Benalla, NZ in 1865.  There is no record of his parent's marriage in New Zealand, so maybe they emigrated to NZ and maybe the mistake on Nicholas's details re: Ireland are an indication that his parents emigrated from there.
My helpers in NZ on rootschat cannot find a record on the passenger lists.

It is all very vague I'm afraid.

« on: Friday 02 July 10 20:02 BST (UK)  »
Herman George Davies was convicted on a charge of conspiring to cheat and defraud for money in January 1915 and was sentenced to two years hard labour (as reported in The Sydney Morning Herald on 28 Jan 1915).   
How can I find out
1. If he served this sentence, and
2. Where he served?

Be grateful for any advise.

Australia / Help needed - DAVIES family
« on: Monday 21 June 10 18:37 BST (UK)  »
Some of my adopted sister's family appeared to have lived (and born) in Australia.
Her great grandmother Eileen Davies (b.1893) along with 6 children:  Herma, aged 12; Ellis, aged 8; Marjorie, aged 6, Eilleen, aged 5; Mary, aged 4 and Margaret Alice, aged 2 (sister's grandmother), arrived in Plymouth, England on24th February 1927 on the ship 'Maloja' from Melbourne, Australia.
The father did not sail with them and I wondered if he stayed in Australia, died there or sailed to England at a later date, but can find no record of him.
He was George (Tankersley?) Davies, born about 1890. 

I wonder if anyone could tell me how to find him and to see if the children were born in Australia and where they lived.   I would be so grateful.
Thank you

Other Countries / India: Birth of Eric Arthur SAWYER
« on: Wednesday 15 April 09 17:59 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone advice me on how to look up a birth in India in 1922.  My adopted sister's grandfather was born in India.  We don't know exactly where.
He may have also been married there.  We don't know when he came to England either.
As you can see we have very little info and so would appreciate any help.
Thank you in advance.

One of my ancestors John Ginns c.1683 married an Elizabeth Sherrard in Geddington in 1710.  Does anyone have any details of a Sherrard family in that area.  I would love to know more about Elizabeth's background/parents etc.
