Hello again Ian. 

I only have Edvard's (Edvard Jorgen Jorgesen) children in Australia. 

Edvard changed his name to Edward Johnson when arriving here in Australia and only found out through this posting that Edward was actually Edvard Jorgen Jorgesen a less than 24 hours ago. 
Thank you again! :-)

Hello again Ian - Jamcat95.  Thank you so much for the Marriage Certificate and the Birth Certificate.  I have a question and possible a favour ......I cannot understand what is written on the certificates.  I can see the names Edvard and one or two of the Bertelsen but not much else on the certificates.  Do you know if there is anywhere I can translate what is written to English.  Unfortunately I have no understanding of the Dutch language.  I have copied and enlarged as much as possible and still have absolutely no idea of what else is written or even the titles in each column.  If you can point me into the direction of someone who could help I would be very appreciative.  Thank you, Karen

Wow Debra!  Thanks so much!  I am searching through the Church records on Family Search at this very moment.  I had heard about it, but never even dreamed to search records on there.  Is it a free site to join do you know? 

Jorgen now makes sense. 

Thank you too for two more entries! Goodbye Tuesday for me!  Luckily it is only 9.14am! 
I really do appreciate this.  One thing I am surprised about is the fact that when I order a transcription for the Marriage of Edward and Susan it never mentioned Jorgen Battlason and yet, it was written on the record. 

Thanks very much!  There is a long and happy story about this and when I have time, I will tell you about it!

Edward Johnson (Johonsen) was born in 1834, Norway. His trade it states on his Marriage Transcription in NSW was a carpenter however no mother or father was recorded.

He married Susan Smith on 27 March 1871 in Scone, New South Wales. They had 11 children in 24 years. (Reg: 1871/3454)

He died on 28 August 1918 in Scone, New South Wales, at the age of 84. It was suggested Edward's name/s were altered upon entering the Australia.
 
Jorgen Battlason >This name was recorded on family history sheets as Edward Johnson's father given to Scone Historical Society by a descendant of Susan Johnson nee Smith (Edward Johnson's wife).  However not sure where this information was sourced.  I have not been able to locate anyone with that name. 
 
From the 'New South Wales Certificate of Naturalization' he was born in Norway and arrived in Australia in 1861 on board the ship 'Yorkshire' (his age at the time of signing the papers in 1874 was of 34).  (Ref No: 73:45)

I would love to find out more about 'Edward Johnson' - his birth and his parents.  Why he was born in Norway?  I have been told his Edwards parents were apparently Danish. 
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks so much!

Australia / Trying to Locate the Lynch Family in Australia
« on: Sunday 12 November 17 23:12 GMT (UK)  »
 I am looking for my 2nd Great Grandfather Terence Francis Lynch, originating from Ireland but arrived in Victoria, Australia in 13 Dec 1873. I have done quite a bit of research but at a standstill. It seems like a troubled life for all concerned but I am hoping to find out what happened to him after 12 Jan 1878 when the Emerald Police Station arrested him for a second time for deserting his wife Mary (Barrett).
Daughter Frances Lynch is my Great Grandmother, married and moved to NSW. Edward (Timy??) and John Joseph were in trouble with the law in Victoria. I found out that Edward died through stories in the newspapers. John Joseph is a mystery. Ernest moved to WA - he was in the Army. His son become a well-known violinist. All the details are as below.
I hope you can help me unravel what happened to Terence and Mary and John Joseph in Victoria. My sincere thanks in advance. I do not have birth or death records for Terence Francis or Mary Barrett's birth records as have not been able to locate.

Thanks so much!  It looks like RedTonyT may have the correct people.  It seems to fit some of the other information I have.  :-)

Husband believes the mother and fathers names were:
Annie Wright and either Richard James Hodges or James Richard Hodges. 
Thanks so far for replies.
