Hi Carmel

I have a copy of the death certificate of Jane Aubery, aged 57 years who died in Albany on 24 December 1891. This is not our Jane. I have previously mentioned the book 'Yalgoo" written by Alex Palmer. Gold was discovered in Yalgoo in 1892. In a paragraph regarding the gold discovery Jane is not mentioned by name but described as an Aboriginal shepherdess, living with a man named "George Aubery" and had 2 children named Thomas and Mary. The man who told this story knew Uncle Tom and Mary well.

When Henry died in 1907, Millicent was the youngest child aged 17 years. The Stolen Generation is reported to have been between 1910 and 1970.

Over the years I have tracked the whereabout of my grandmother Ellen's siblings using marriage certificates, death certificates and information from other cousins. I have been able to find out information on all of them with the exception of Julia.

I hope the above information helps. Due to a family commitment I am away from home until the end of February and will not have access to my family history information.

Kindest regards
Winifred

Hi Mark

On my Seaton family tree on Ancestry.com I have posted 3 photos, Edie and Jack Dunstan wedding photo from 1937, Ellen and John Olsen from the late 1930s (I think) and a not very clear photo of Edie, Lena, Johnny and my mother from my brother's wedding in 1968. These are the only Olsen(?) family photos I have. I'm sorry I don't have any photos of your Mum. I remember your parents visiting us in East Vic Park in the 1960s.

My goodness I haven't thought about my mother's fig jam for years. Please give Frank my best wishes from his cousin Winnie. I am very impressed with his literary achievements. I think the last time I saw him he was in the Navy. I left WA in 1970 so it would have been a few years before that time.

 

Hi Lisa

Thank you for your post.

My brother spent time in the north-west of Western Australia many years ago. He said the same thing about the number of Aubrey families in the area. All we need is one of these Aubreys' to do an Ancestry DNA test and be matched to some of us who have done the test!!

Your father's grandmother Millie. Would that have been Millicent Aubrey? My grandmother Ellen Aubrey had a sister Millicent and also a daughter who we all called Aunty Millie (my mother's sister).

I'm having a break from family history at the moment. I have come to a dead-end with finding any more information about Henry Aubrey and Jane.

Kindest regards.

I refer to my previous post on 24 September 2017.

I still haven't found my great grandfather Henry Aubrey but was told some information from an Aubrey cousin. Henry was an Irishman and he had red hair. He was also a teacher.

The red hair explains where the red hair comes from in my own and extended family.

I was told that many Irish people travelled to Liverpool to depart the UK and put Liverpool as their birthplace on the documentation.

The following information relates to the names mentioned in my post - Reply #41:

Henry Aubrey - Born 1837 and died in 1907
Ellen Aubrey - Born 1881 and died in 1952
Thomas Aubrey - Born 1880 and died in 1963
My mother died in 1997 and all her sisters have also passed away
