I have two 4great grandparents who both died at St.David's Place, Swansea in 1872.

Henry WATTS 5 Jun 1872
Elizabeth WATTS 29 Aug 1872

Both are natives of Devon.

I have yet to determine where they were buried.

If I purchased a death certificate would it show place of burial?

Many Thanks

Dale

Hi All,

A Google search of some of my Poyser relatives brought up the attached file held by the National Archives.

I am wondering what it would be about. As I am living in Australia there is no way I can visit the Archives to view the file

Any comments would be appreciated

Thanks Dale

These are two old photographs of the Westcott Family in Australia that have recently come into their possession again.

I would be most appreciative of any restoration you could do on them.

Many thanks

I am hoping someone with access to Victorian Electoral Rolls might help me locate a family in Ballarat.

The family lived at 6 Pryor Street, Mt Pleasant maybe from the 1930's onwards. I believe the parents would be deceased now.

Thanks Dale

Richard GAUNT was born in Matlock, Derbyshire around 1816. He was convicted of horse stealing and was transported to Tasmania on the Elphinstone in 1836.

I am hoping someone has Tasmania BDM records to verify the following

He married Margaret HEALEY in or around 1843 in Hobart. Margaret was also a convict but haven't found here record yet.

According to his death certificate 1873 in Victoria. He had 3 daughters Lydia born c 1843, Sarah born c 1845 and Margaret born c 1847. Sarah and Margaret travelled with the family to Victoria in around 1851. I believe Lydia stayed in Tasmania and married there.

I have family information of Sarah and Margaret but nothing on what happened to Lydia.

Any help would be great Thank you in anticipation
Dale
