Australia / Re: Death Lookup -Victoria please - Sarah GALES.
« on: Friday 22 July 11 12:09 BST (UK)  »
ok - thanks for that Jenn - trying to track down  my Sarah Richmond - have been unable 2 find her in Eng after the 1861 census where she is listed with her husband Henry & 2month yr old daughter Lillian.

I thought she may have headed back to Oz with her mother Matilda.

Never mind - really appreciate the lookup.

Thanks Troods

Good evening all

If possible can someone lookup a death entry for me please - my discs r still not loading onto my new laptop.

Sarah Gales death yr 1882. Her mother was Matilda & father Joseph.

I think Sarah may have come back to Oz after separating from her husband Henry Gales. They married in London 1870.

Thanks Troods

Durham / New info come to light - Joseph George Richmond Burnopside Hall
« on: Friday 22 July 11 10:24 BST (UK)  »
Hello everyone

I have just come across an entry on the Australian Newspaper site "Trove" concerning my Joseph George Richmond in the Launceston Examiner in 1870.

This is some of the transcription.

Gales - Richmond -Nov 27 - Henry Gales Esq to Sarah, eldest daughter of the late Joseph George Richmond Esq of Burnopside Hall Durham and of Perth Tasmania.

This blew me away as this confirms family hearsay that the Richmonds were originally from Durham perhaps.

Here is what I have on Joseph -

Born circa 1800 unknown area
Married Matilda Pitt 1840 Launceston - recorded as free on cert.
8 children born to the couple between 1842-1857 - all Tasmania - 1 son only
Joseph died 1857 Longford Tasmania
Wife Matilda moves to Victoria & then travels to Eng & brings their son George & leaves him as a pupil in Stockton-on-Tees - he is recorded on the 1861 census there. She also brings a daughter Sarah with her. Sarah I suspects marries Henry Gales in London.
Wife Matilda remarries supposedly  a Christopher Ffrench & returns to Australia.

I am now very interested in finding out how & when Joseph arrived in Oz. I have had no luck in finding any records of his immigration in Oz.

Also I am interested in Burnopside Hall?????

Hoping someone can understand my dribble & throw some ideas my way

Kerry / Re: James Hennessy from Galey to Australia, Jan 1861

Wow what amazing old photos - what treasures.

I have in my line a Julia Hennessy - born circa 1841 to a Michael Hennessy & Honora/Norah Finaghty in  Limerick Ireland.

Her parents Michael & Honora married in Ballybunion Kerry  1835 according to the Irish Genealogy website.
Michael was said to be from Dromon in the entry on the website

Julia was my gggranmother.

Julia married a Patrick O'Grady/Grady in 1858 in Ireland & they immigrated to Western Australia in 1862ish if I remember correctly

I googled Freemasons Lodge Midland & found it on Google maps - I know exactly where that building is  in Midland however like you said they seem to be a very private society etc.
