Shropshire / Re: Pritchard family in shropshire

Interesting Garen

I would suppose that maybe the age 33 looked like a 23 on paper?  It must be her, surely, and most likely little Steven.  The year fits well with Harriett baptised 1826.

Have you found Salome Pritchard and Walter Walters arrival into Australia?  Prob between 1839-1842 and I would guess Sydney, but only a guess because they settled in Newcastle.  I haven't found it yet.

Regards, Steven.

Hello Garen

I've recently picked back up on 'The Pritchard's' after taking a few years off.  I believe we've been in contact before many years ago and I think we sit about the same generation from Benjamin Pritchard c.1852 - Walter Ebenezer being my gr grandfather.

From what I've looked at over the last few days I think I'm with you re John's remarriage to Sarah Fletcher.  I cant see Edy suddenly using the name Sarah.  Although, is Edy a name that is common in Salop?  Do you think it's pronounced like Eady or Eddie?!  Forget it, I'm Australian and wouldn't understand it anyway probably, lol.

Do you know which parish church they attended in Wellington or the area?  Thought maybe I could try to track a burial record for Edy through alternate means.

Regards,

Steven.

Australia / Newcastle - NSW Burial.
« on: Monday 16 May 16 16:13 BST (UK)  »
Hi team

I'm looking for the burial place of Walter Walters.  Walter died Newcastle NSW in Feb 1881.  His wife Salome died in 1887 and is buried at Newcastle Sandgate Cemetery, but I cant see an online record for Walter there.  Sandgate was only opened in 1881 though.  It seems odd that Salome and Walter aren't buried together, unless they totally closed the old Newcastle cemetery's altogether when they opened Sandgate?!

Anyway, I know I could just order the cert but it's not really that close enough.... was just wondering if someone had a quick answer.

Regards

Hello Jane

Thank you for this, its spot on and very much appreciated.  The earliest ancestors now have a resting place.  Ann is also another child I didn't know about. 

Scuda-j..... not Scudamore?

Regards and thanks.

Hello David

Thanks for your wealth of knowledge and all your assistance.  I might put this down for a little while but then again I probably won't.

Thanks and regards
Steven.

Hi Garen

Just wondering if you can add any more from your post from October 2014.  The Sarah (who you thought could by Adey) on the 1851 census is still known as Sarah in 1871 living with John and Emma.  Presumeably the same John and Emma who were John Snr and Sarah's neighbours on the 1851 census.

Regards.

Hi Tracey

You can also contact 'History House' at Portland - (03) 5522 2266.  They have an amazing collection of information of Portland's early days including early families.  Portland was Victoria's first permanent settlement in 1834.

Good luck...

Hello David

Wow, I'd forgotten how spectacular the Bath area was.  Stunning countryside!

So Abraham Stone's grave at Langridge from 1823 is still standing and readable.  It's a little bent over protecting it from the weather luckily.  I'm assuming the grave beside it is John Stone, which is unreadable.  I'm assuming this because the headstones are exactly the same shape.  On Abrahams's headstone it has a left and right side.  On the left side reads Abraham with son George underneath.  On the right side is blank.  I would probably assume his wife Mary is also interred there but no one ever got around to having her name added.  The graves are located beside all the Powney graves which many are in surprisingly good condition.  I saw Solomon there too.

Regards, Steven
