Australia / Death Lookup - John BRADY Victoria

« on: Sunday 16 January 11 01:47 GMT (UK) »

I have hit a brickwall in finding a death certificate for John Brady. Need to know if any one else can help me. I have the following information. John Brady born about 1812 Dublin - married Ellen Penrose in Warrambool about 1856. They moved to Stanley in Victoria to live. They had the following children:- John, Ann, William, James, Charles, George and Francis. Ellen his wife died in 1876, his daughter was married in 1880. I believe he was alive up until then according to family info. His profession was a gold miner and he lived for awhile in Stanley. One of his sons moved to NSW and a few others moved down to Emerald in Victoria. I have not been able to actually pinpoint and find a death certificate for him, I don't know if any one is able to obtain more information that I can see on the BDM without me purchasing all the possible certs. Can anyone offer some advice or assistance? His mother and fathers names were John Brady and Ann Darcy both from Dublin. Many thanks for your time and possible assistance.

Dublin / Dublin to Van Diemans Land

« on: Saturday 12 June 10 08:43 BST (UK) »

Hi
I have a possible convict sent to Australia. I have tried the Australian site etc and have found out the following information:

John Brady
Parent: John Brady & Ann Darcey/Dorsey/Davey (a bit unsure - old writing!)
Born: Dublin
Convicted: Dublin
Jailed: Spike Island 1946
Transported: Van Diemans Land 1850
Ticket of Freedom: 1853

He could read & write and gave his father occupation as a Cabinet Maker on his wedding Cert. Dont know if this is correct.

He was about 14-16 yrs old when convicted of stealing 2 books. What I would like to know where about to start looking at records that may exist in Dublin. I know alot of information may have been destroyed in 1922? Any suggestions would be great.
Thankyou.

Australia / John BRADY - possible Convict??

« on: Sunday 30 May 10 03:36 BST (UK) »

Hi
I need some advice or guidance - I have a John Brady born estimated about 1832. He married Ellen Penrose in Warambool in 1856. On his wedding cert and from our family info he was born Dublin. I have found out how Ellen arrived in Australia - however I am a loss in tracking down John Brady. On the wedding certificate he gives his age at 24. I have looked at records for immigration in Vic, SA & NSW to no avail! There is however a John Brady - Convict in Van Diemans Land that may be him. Is there anyway I can confirm this. I have contacted Tassie - but keep getting no response. I have also tried Ireland and they said I would need to hire someone to check information there for me. I know his parents first names and thats about all. All the info that I have on this convict fits, but I want to be sure as much as I can before I claim that he is the one and same.

He was a goldminer and I know he went under his mothers maiden name at times. I cannot locate a death cert either for him. Relatives think he may have died in about 1914 - but I have not been able to track down the right certificate. He lived in Stanley in Victoria but I dont know whereabout he died

Any suggestions on how to obtain more information would be greatly appreciated.
Thankyou.

Devon Lookup Requests / Devon or Cornwall- SCOTT & BODY

« on: Sunday 13 September 09 07:39 BST (UK) »

Hi,
I am a bit lost! I am trying to chase parents of my gggrandmother. Her name was Phillis SCOTT and she married Charles Vinnicombe PENROSE in the parish of Antony by Banns on 14 April 1832. The only other information I have on her is her death certificate in 1849 dated 13 June in Stock Dameral. On this certificate the witness to the death is a Elizabeth BODY. After the death of Phillis her husband married this Elizabeth BODY at Charles the Marty in Devon on 16 Dec 1849 by Banns and Elizabeth BODY gives her fathers name as Thomas SCOTT! So I am assuming that Elizabeth (Scott) Body was related to Phillis (Scott) PENROSE. On the 1851 census Elizabeth gives Devon as place of birth. So I thought I would start in Devon, but I have not been able to track a birth for either of these ladies. Can anyone suggest how I should go about this. If I contact the Parish Clerks are they able to see more info on other records of churches etc. I am chasing my tail and getting now where fast!

Cornwall Lookup Requests / St Maybn PENROSE Marriage

« on: Saturday 22 August 09 07:22 BST (UK) »

Hi
Just wondering if someone has the records for St Maybn Parish. I have seen an entry for a marriage for a John PENROSE to a Jane around 1776 and it gave his parish as Broadoak. I have a John PENROSE who married a Joan HENWOOD and they started to have children around 1768. I am interested to see if this John PENROSE may have married previously in another parish. Is there anyway for me to be able to find out if this may be the one and same man? Any help or thoughts would be so appreciated.
Many thanks.

« on: Sunday 28 June 09 03:40 BST (UK) »

Hi,
I am just new and think this site is fantastic and so.... interesting and thought I would ask this question. My grandfather was born in Wicklow and in particular Arklow. He was a seaman back there and I have been wondering if there would be any paperwork that is available as to want he did eg the boats he worked on etc in Ireland. The type of life he may have led. He came out to Australia and died on the SS Casino at Apollo Bay when in sank. I have some newspaper clippings but would there also be any where in Victoria where I could get some paperwork info on him and the vessels he worked? Any help or guidance would be very much appreciated.
Thankyou!

Cornwall Lookup Requests / Lanivet & Braddock Parish Records PENROSE

« on: Saturday 27 June 09 03:44 BST (UK) »

Hi
Would anyone have access to Lanivet & Braddock Parish Records? I am trying to trace a Penrose family. I have a Joseph PENROSE born 1785 Braddock (according to census info) and his parents were John PENROSE and Joan HENWOOD. I am interested in finding out if possible about John PENROSE roots. I have looked on the OPC Cornwall site and I see a earlier PENROSE John & Anne that had childen in the Braddock area. Is there anyway I can find out more info on them? I am trying to make a connection (if any) to a PENROSE family in Lanivet. There was a marriage of a John & Anne of St Mabyn in 1730 and I am wondering if it maybe them. Any kind of info on how to find out more would be very helpful.
Thankyou! I am on Australian time, so I apologize in advance should someone offer advice and you dont here back from me straight away. I will respond and with thanks.
