Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Cause of Death
« on: Wednesday 22 July 20 05:03 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
Does anyone know what the cause of death is on this certificate? It looks like ‘suddenly falling dead off in chair’. Is this what it says and if so, what might it mean?
Thank you in anticipation.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Jane Mitchell Marriage Certificate
« on: Saturday 06 July 19 05:29 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
Can anyone decipher the mother's name of Jane Mitchell on this Australian 1856 marriage certificate between Jane Mitchell and John Watson? The father's name is William Mitchell and I believe the mother's surname is Page but I can't work out her other two names!
Thank you in anticipation,

Could someone please give an approximate date for this photo. Frances Diffey was born in England in 1847 and came out to Australia when she was two years old so the photo must have been taken in Australia.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Photo Dating for Thomas and Bridget Carmody
« on: Saturday 03 September 16 23:29 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I'm hoping someone may be able to give an approximate date to these photos of my great grandparents, Thomas and Bridget CARMODY. Thomas was born in 1854 and Bridget in 1847.
They were married in Kerry, Ireland in 1876 and came out to Australia in the same year. They lived in Gisborne, Victoria, Australia until 1893 when they moved to Leongatha, Victoria, Australia.
I'm wondering if the photo may be their wedding photo from Ireland in 1876 before they came to Australia.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Cheers,
Jan.

New Zealand Completed Requests / Robert SWANN
« on: Monday 07 May 12 05:13 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for information about Robert SWANN, born Deighton, Yorkshire, England in 1840 and who came out to Australia in 1856. After marrying and living in the Howlong/Junee area of New South Wales, Australia, he appears to have moved to New Zealand after the death of his wife, Henrietta FROST, in 1876.
His parents were Thomas SWANN and Hannah WHITE who also lived in New Zealand at some stage. Hannah died in Wellington, New Zealand in 1879.
I would like any information about Robert SWANN and his time in New Zealand and details of his death if possible. Robert was a blacksmith and wheelwright.

Thank you in anticipation,
Jan.
