Hertfordshire / Re: ROBERTS, james (c1801-8)
« on: Thursday 30 April 20 01:34 BST (UK)  »
Thank you to rosie99 and Brentor boy.
James Roberts gave the information regarding his birthplace and parents names on his emigration to Australia in 1858 and it is also given on his death certificate.
He married in County Monmouth in 1832 and the family appear on the 1841 and 1851 census in Monmouth. In the 1851 census James gives his birthplace as Ross, Herefordsire.
Regarding the 1804 baptism, I had already considered that but had rejected it because of the mother being Elizabeth rather than Mary.

Hertfordshire / ROBERTS, james (c1801-8)

James ROERTS claimed he was a native of Ross-on-Wye c1801-8 with parents James and Mary but I could not find a baptism in the Parish Registers that matched these criteria.

Any help would be appreciated.

Laois (Queens) / WESTMAN, Richard
« on: Tuesday 28 April 20 06:31 BST (UK)  »
My ancestor Richard WESTMAN was born in late 1808 in Laois (Queens) and I have found his baptism in the Church of Ireland Parish of Rosenallis on 1 Jan 1809. He later married Ellen Furlong but I have been unable to locate this marriage. However I have located the baptism of their first child, Saunders, in the Church of Ireland Parish of Clonaslee on 30 Sep 1838. The family then emigrated to Australia in 1840.

Any assistance in locating this marriage would be greatly appreciated.

Also any assistance with locating the baptism of Ellen Furlong (c1813) would be appreciated. She was the daughter of John Furlong and Eleanor nee Parsons who were married in the Church of Ireland Parish of Geashill just across the border in Offaly on 12 Jul 1805. However Ellen's siblings were all baptised in Rosenallis or Clonaslee so we can assume the family had moved into Laois after their marriage.

Cork / GILLETT, Henry (Cobh)
« on: Tuesday 28 April 20 05:57 BST (UK)  »
Henry Gillett was born in Queenstown/Cobh c1800 and emigrated to Australia in 1832.
I believe the records at St Colman's Cathedral only date from 1812 and I have not been able to find his baptism. Furthermore I have not been able to locate his marriage (to Mary Hales) but it was probably in the bride's parish which is unknown. I have however located the baptism of their daughter, Margaret, on 12 Oct 1831 at St Colman's.

Any assistance and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Westie51.
I am descended from Richard, born 12 Nov 1842 in Sydney NSW, the third son of Richard and Ellen. He married Sarah Ann Roberts at Ipswich, Queensland but lived for many years at Glebe in Sydney. Do you live in Sydney? I live in Brisbane and as you can see from my posts did a lot of work on the Westman family extending back to the area around Mountmellick. I was never able to find the marriage of Richard Sr and Ellen but in answer to jfchaly, I did not consider Catholic registers because I found Ellen's parents and siblings in Church Of Ireland registers.

Thanks Ros,
Yes this is the son. He is called Snr here because his eldest son was also Joseph - born in Sydney in 1868.
I had not seen this advert before but knew that after about 25 years in Grafton they had left to go farming around Glen Innes. They returned to Grafton eventually (actually to Bacon St again) to retire and died there.

I guess that as they were in Sydney for the first 20 years after arriving in NSW, there is a high probability that the parents (the original Joseph & Mary who arrived in 1855) died in that area. There are just too many common names on the BDM index to find them.

Thanks Shane.
You are obviously talking about civil parishes. I searched the C of I parishes of Rosenallis which covers the civil parishes of Kilmamman, Rearymore and Rosenallis plus the C of I parish of Clonaslee which covers part of the above but only after 1814. The C of I parish of Mountmellick did not start till 1840 - too late for me.

Re the brides family, as I said in an earlier post her parents were married just across the border in Offaly but their first two children were baptised in Rosenallis, then the missing Ellen, then the three youngest in Clonaslee. So you would have to think I am in exactly the right area but her baptism and marriage are missing.

Thanks Sue,
 Joseph Jr married in Sydney in 1867 and had children in Sydney in 1868, 1870 and 1873 before moving to Grafton where they had two more children in 1875 and 1878.
So that means from their arrival in 1855 to approx 1874 they were in Sydney. I am not aware of Joseph Sr having any more children after their arrival.
