There is a book called “One Man’s Family” (Thomas McConachy and His Descendants.) the attachment is an extraction from the book. Mary was a widow when she and her 3 children, Thomas, John and Mary came to Australia in 1854 on the Birmingham

Hi Meliora,
Thank you again for everything.

1861 census
RG9/1056  folio 73  page 7
3, Manby St.  All Saints  West Ham  Essex

George Miller  head  age 29  Omnibus conductor  b  don't know
Mary Elizabeth  wife  age 32   b  Essex Theydon Bois
Mary Adelaide  dau  age 4  b  St Giles
George  Hillyard  son  age 2   b  ditto
Florence Newall  dau  age 1mth  b  Essex  Stratford
Elizabeth Hillyard  mother is law  House property  b  Essex  Romford

A bit disappointed about George's birthplace in 1861 as I still have nothing to link him to his parents. My cousin bought his wedding and death certificate and neither has parents indicated. Did it actually say "don't know" on the original or was it illegible? This is the only document that could prove his parentage, as we still can't find travel papers and every certificate has drawn a blank. If he didn't know, could this mean he was an orphan or from the workhouse?
regards,
Janet.

Hello Meliora,
   I Have been researching for my cousin. Thank you so much for all the info.  I am so grateful and amazed. The census info is so essential for research. This will really sort it out for my cousin. She will still have to buy a few certificates to sort things out but now she will know the ones she really needs.
 Was there any John Miller in 1861?
George Miller  head  age 29  Omnibus conductor  b  don't know; is a bit of a worry. One would think they should know where they were born.

The marriage as below that you suggested sounds just right.
JOHN DAVID MILLER  =    ANN TINWORTH
12th May  1823
Christchurch, Greyfriars,  Newgate St, London

regards from Oz,

I'm looking for some assistance please to find parents for George:

George Miller born 19 SEP 1831 Shoreditch and suspect John MILLER and Ann Rebecca Larcher b1801 Bethnal Green could be candidates. Although there are several couples of John and Ann and 16 possible siblings not proven at this stage. So I am hoping some kind soul could assist by finding George with his parents/family and other possible siblings in the 41/51/61 Census.

George married in Shoreditch in March 1856 to
Mary Elizabeth Hillyard born London 1829
They had 2 children
George Hillyard Miller Dec 1858   St Pancras London
Florence Newall Miller about 1857-1860 London (have not found it yet) Newall is a family name from her mothers side.

 George, Mary and the 2 children went to Qld, Australia JAN 1870 From Gravesend on board "Planet Venus" although I have not found that either (info from unknown source)


Many thanks

Buckinghamshire Lookup Requests / William & Sarah GOULD Lookup Oxford Please
« on: Wednesday 22 March 06 23:17 GMT (UK)  »
Could SKS look up a William and Elizabeth Gould of Buckinghamshire.  I am trying to find any of their relatives.  Our relative is Stephen Gould, their son we think, born 1818 - the notes say Oxford. Stephen migrated to Australia in 1850. Son 1841 Census would be great.
Cheers
