I am trying to find all the children born to Arthur Benjamin Harrington and Annie Maud Wood.  Arthur and Annie were married in the March quarter of 1881 Camberwell, London Ref: 1d Page 785.  Annie Maude Harrington (Wood) died in 1897.

I have a birth for Arthur Benjamin Harrington Jnr. born 1882 and assume him to be their first born.  Then I have Celia Ada Harrington in the June quarter 1895 in Camberwell.  That's a 13 year gap and I can't find the children born inbetween.  I'm sure in those days there must have been other children.  Celia Ada also turns up as a 5 year old in the 1901 Census with her grandmother Mary Ann English Harrington in her Uncle George Bennetts' house.

I would appreciate any help on this one.

Thanks, Red

I am trying to find a Birth at sea for Catherine Whelan in 1833.

I have her death certificate Catherine Gaffney (nee Whelan) for 6 Nov 1916 in Melbourne (although she lived most of her life in Tasmania) I have all her children and all details of the Gaffney side.  I'm now looking for her birth and her parents arrival in Tasmania.  The death certificate says she was born at sea and her parents are John Whelan, stonemason and Catherine Whelan formally Rahilly or Reighley.

The closest we can get is possibly the Bark "Mary Ann" arrived Tasmania, August 1833.

Does anyone have access to ships passenger lists for Tasmania 1833 and records for Births at sea? Any help greatly appreciated.

Could some kind soul visit Lake Terrace Cemetery in Mt. Gambier, and Grave or Plot number 390 contains the remains of:
 
1. William Ladlow who died 1936 aged 87. 
2. Elizabeth Ladlow who died 1938 aged 82. 
3. William James Wheater who died 4/10/1904 aged 10 months.
4. Rebecca Ann Ladlow who died 23/10/1904 aged 30.

I would like to know if there is a headstone and an inscription.  Perhaps an image would be fantastic.

This would go a long way to solving one of those brick walls you talk about.

A great Aunt tells me that William Laidlaw changed his name to William Ladlow, she doesn't know why, and I would like to find out.  The only connection I can find is this grave.  William Laidlaw's daughter, Emily Grace (or Grace Emily) married a William Gant Wheater.

I can't find a death for William Laidlaw, so perhaps he did change his name.

Many thanks, Kevin

Hi all, I'm trying to find when Hugh Gaffney arrived in Tasmania.

The first I have of him is his marriage to Catherine Whelan in 1851.  They have 13 children to 1876, I have all them.  I have also found the Beta Newspaper article on his unfortunate demise under a train in 1886.

But I can't seem to find him in arrivals to Tasmania nor in any Convict lists to Tasmania. 

Any help appreciated, Kevin
