Australia / Passenger Arrivals into Western Australia, 1839-1890 [CD-ROM] lookup please
« on: Wednesday 02 May 07 11:47 BST (UK)  »
Hi there, I am looking for anyone who has this CD or access to it who could possible lookup some ancestors.

Isaac Place, wife Mary Place and sons Isaac, William and Thomas who arrived on the ship TRUSTY into Western Australia in Dec 1842. Not sure if there was a sister Mary Ann with them too.

I would like to know if there is any more info like where the ship departed from and other info on the individuals like age, religion, birthplace etc.

Thankyou in advance if you can help

Kind Regards

Hi Mike,

Thanks for that - I found a website just now for the WA dept Attorney Generals office and it has an online database of Western Australian Pioneers. It has the brith marriage and death entries you mentioned.

Thanks again for your help. Its much appreciated!

Durham Lookup Requests / Re: 1851 Gateshead census - PLACE surname

Thanks so much for helping me Mike, youve made my day!

Can you tell me where you found the WA information? Is it available online?

The surname Gordson is so close to Mary's actual maiden name of Jordison that it is a highly likely match and would explain why they arent on the 1851 Durham census.

Thanks again for your help!

Durham Lookup Requests / 1851 Gateshead census - PLACE surname
« on: Tuesday 10 October 06 02:47 BST (UK)  »
Hello all, I am trying to calculate when our PLACE ancestors arrived in Australia and would appreciate an 1851 census look up if someone has the time and access to it.

They are on the 1841 census at
Chapelry of Heworth DUR Main Top Row
Isaac PLACE 25 Labourer N  (born? married 1834 St John Newcastle upon Tyne)
Mary PLACE 25 Y (born Gateshead)
Isaac PLACE 6 Y (born Gateshead)
William PLACE 3 Y (born Gateshead)
Mary PLACE 1 Y (born Gateshead)

They then had
Thomas PLACE born 1842 at Felling Shore, Gateshead (I bought the certificate) and possibly another daughter  Elizabeth Martha PLACE bc 1844 (unproven/detail provided by another descendent)

Could SKS tell me if this family is on the 1851 Census?

I have been unable to find a shipping arrival for them in Australia but know they were in South Australia by Feb 1860 (Isaac aged 6 in 1841 married that year) If I could narrow down their arrival to before or after 1851 it would really help me out.

Kind Regards

Thanks so very very much for doing this lookup for me Michael.

Although not yet proven, I am thinking this Thomas was the brother of Isaac (our ancestor who migrated to Australia)
Thanks again for taking the time to look this up for me! ;D
Kind Regards

Northumberland Lookup Requests / Re: Lookup request PLACE surname Newcastle upon Tyne

Thanks Michael that is interesting, I didnt know that about the Methodists of that time.

Hi Jan, I dont know if any of those individuals from South Shields are connected. None of the names except the Thomas Place and Mary Place reoccur in the Place family line in later generations.

 I was hoping to find the couples listed below on the census of 1841 1851 or 1861 in the Newcastle ot Gateshead area's but Im actually not sure where they were at those times... I believe there was a Thomas aged 32 and a Frances Place aged 29 in Gateshead in 1841 but I dont know if these two individuals lived at the same address or were a couple or if they had children.. I dont have access to the records I need unfortunately. ???

Northumberland Lookup Requests / Lookup request PLACE surname Newcastle upon Tyne
« on: Friday 22 September 06 05:25 BST (UK)  »
I am seeking birth/christening and/or parents names and census details on the following PLACE individuals. They married at St John's, Newcastle upon Tyne Northumberland.

My ancestor is

Isaac PLACE bc 1806-1811 = Mary Ann Jordison m. 31 Aug 1834 at St John, Newcastle upon Tyne, after this they lived in Felling Shore Gateshead Co Durham. 3 sons born there. (I have info on them already) More interested in where Isaac was born, siblings and parents details

Likely brothers Ive found for Isaac also had marriages at St. John Newcastle Upon Tyne.
11 Oct 1831 William Place = Elizabeth Trotter
30 Jan 1832 Thomas Place = Frances Miller

Isaac named his sons William Thomas and Isaac so I believe these marriages are likely his brothers. I would like any info on these couples. On the IGI Isaac's marriage to Mary Ann Jordison has his first name incorrect as George. Date and spouse name are correct.

Extra info: Isaacs son was buried as Methodist later in Australia.

Any info on the PLACE surname in the Newcastle upon Tyne or Gateshead area would be greatly appreciated
Thankyou to anyone who can help me in advance!

Thanks for that Rosalie,

I think you're right about the not registering births being in a real country area. I grew up in that part of the state.

My grandma Jenkins still lives in Port Fairy so I will call her and see what she can tell me about these earlier generations.

Thanks for the tip about the council too - I have always been a bit unsure about finding out about burial information. I will check out the Warrnambool Jenkins listed in the phone book too.

Thankyou again for your help Rosalie!
Happy thoughts going out to you
Cheers
Melanie
