Fife / Re: Balmain, Malcolm, William, Walter - Wemyss

Harry,

I believe that Balmain in NSW was named after William Balmain who was born in Rhynd, Perthshire in 1762 and was a naval surgeon and civil administrator who sailed as an assistant surgeon with the First Fleet to establish the first European settlement in Australia. He later took up the appointment of the principal surgeon, for New South Wales.

Hi Nina
Apologies for the delay in replying - I have been out of the country for a couple of months and am only just catching up on messages etc.!
Thanks for posting the picture - it's great that we still have this documentation of our family history isn't it?  :)

Cornwall / Re: Charlotte SMITH - help please

Hi Trish

I've now received a copy of the birth certificate for Catherine SMITH born 12 Oct 1843. Her mother was Jane SMITH of Ponsanooth with no father named. I really think that this may be my 3rd great aunt sister to my 2nd great grandmother, Charlotte SMITH. Both girls give their place of birth as Ponsanooth in the 1861 census and in the 1851 census in the St Austell workhouse their birthplace is listed as Penryn. Not sure where to go with information next though!

Thanks Trish

I had noticed that possible birth for Catharine and think I will order the certificate to see where it takes me (or not!). I have wondered in the past if William Smith might be a brother or cousin to Charlotte and Catherine so I think I will have another look at him as a possible lead.

Thanks again
Kelly

Hi there
Charlotte Smith as Charlotte Hodge is my GG Grandmother. I have only relatively recently started researching my family history so if I find any relevant information for you I shall pass it on.

Hi Ged. Only just seen your post! We have been in touch in the past of course but I have just returned to tackle this particular brick wall again - so far with no success.

I'd be really grateful if you could tell me if there is anyone else buried with Mary Cooney in grave 3B 315 in Yew Tree cemetery. Mary was buried 19 Dec. 1956.
Mant thanks

Middlewich cemetery is looked after by Middlewich Town Council and Middlewich Heritage Society have transcribed all the burial records and will do a search for you. Their index shows that they have record (s) for the name Sweatman.  Their website is at:

Thank you for this info Jim1. How fascinating.  I've never come across anything like this before. (Perhaps the Vicar had been at the communion wine  ;D ).

Best wishes
Dorothy
