Lois Glue born 1872 registered Westhampnett, Sussex, I have all of her family sorted, her parents were William Glue 1834 and Eunice Hall 1838.
Lois married Julius Caesar on 6 Jan 1896 in Sussex, she was 24, he was 49. I have the certificate, it lists Lois as a Dressmaker and Julius as a Gentleman, her father is listed as William Glue and the father of Julius is Julius Caesar (Dec)  Witnesses were Alfred Putley and Kate Putley, she is the sister of Lois and he the B in Law.
Julius and Lois had 4 children, Julius 1896, Kate Eunice Alexander 1898, Rita Maida 1901 and Henry James 1904.  Julius died 18 July 1905 Probate granted to wife Lois. She married again, I have all of that, my problem is with Julius.

1.   There are several trees on Ancestry that list all of the above info, including the same children, however they have no marriage record supporting their trees. They have Julius born 1845 in Cheshire, parents Augustus Caesar and Mary Pugh.

2.  There is just one tree that is different and I tend to lean this way, they have a lot to support it,
They claim that Julius was born  1848 on the Island of St Helena,a small Island mid Atlantic between America and Africa.Census records for this Julius from 1871 to 1891 have him working as a Servant to Colonel McDuff who was serving in St Helena and India with the Black Watch Highland Regiment.
This tree also has a photo of Julius with Colonel McDuff and he is black, and one of Lois with 2 of their children and these children are of mixed race.

I am so confused this seems so oooo way out there and I don't know what to put on my tree.
My history is not good so that doesn't help me either.
Does anyone think it possible to find a record for Julius of St Helena.

The person who has this tree tells me her research is solid and also says Julius was a Grandson of Slaves.

George was born 1860, son of my GG Grandfather George Glue (Convict arriving here in 1834) and Christina Laird.

He is one of 4 children, 
 William James Glue b 1855 my G Grandfather who changed his surname to Russell.
 Kathleen Glue b 1858 and died aged 18,
 Charles Glue b 1862 died aged 15

The only record I have been able to find for George is a birth Index B 1860 Reg in Plenty, Vic. He is listed as deceased on his mothers death certificate in 1926.

I have done all I know how to do, can someone please help me.

Incidently his parents separated when he was a young child and his father died in Adelaide in 1868

I am trying to find more information about William after his marriage in Hobart Tasmania.
He was baptised 10 Sep 1820 in Sussex, son of Thomas Glue and Thomasin Davis, one of 10 siblings and 3 step siblings.

William was convicted of Horse stealing, trial 4 Dec 1840, sentenced to 10 years and transportation to Aust.
1841 Census he is listed as a prisoner on the prison hulk Leviathon.
He departed England on 24 Sept 1841 on ship "Tortoise"
Arrived in Van Diemans Land (Tas) 19 Feb 1842.
The next record found on 2 Dec 1848 is an application for Permission to Marry Margaret Deacon , this states he is from the Leviathon and she is free.
They married on 27 Dec 1848 at the C of E Hobart, The marriage cert states he is 23 (he is actually 28) Rank is Boatman. Margaret is 30 a Widow. No parents listed on this certificate.

I would like to know where William was between his arrival and his marriage, if they had children, did they remain in Tasmania and if possible their deaths.
I have no records at all for Margaret.

A big ask but I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

This may be a big ask, but, I hope someone can help

John Glue was born 1796 in Rogate Sussex, he is son of Thomas Glue and Anne Taylor.
He was a Convict, sentenced to life and transportation, he spent a few weeks on the prison hulk "Leviathan and departed England on 18th November 1834 aged 38, on ship "Waterloo" bound for Van Diemans Land, he died in Hobart 3 weeks after arrival in the Colony.
I have all the above records, including a burial record, however none of these mentioned whether he was single or married.
I have recently found letters of petitions to investigate the matter and have the sentence reduced, from John himself in which he mentions his dear distressed wife, one from his wife signed Ann Glew and a few others, to the Right Honourable Lord Vincent Duncanon, Principle Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whitehall.
I have searched endlessly and have not been able to find a marriage for John and Ann ??
Can anyone come to the rescue so I can finally complete John's profile.


 

Andrew Glew/Glue came to Australia in the early 1850's, I have not been able to find any record of this event.
Andrew was born 1828 in Rogate, West Sussex, son of George Glew and Ann Martin
He married in Rylestone, Vic Aust in 1856 to Ellen Cattle , they had 12 children.
I have all of the records for this family and I would like to know when and what ship he came to Aust on, whether he paid his own way, or came on assisted passage.he was not a convict, maybe he came for the gold?
If any one can help I would be very thankful.
