George William NEAL married Ann Rebecca FOLEY and according to the 1911 census they had 11 children and 2 of them are dead.

The children I know of are:
(the census dates are where I have found the children with the parents)

George born 1871 according to the 1881 census
Elizabeth b 1872 (no clues on this except someone Else's tree - Elizabeth and Lizzie could be the same person)
Lizzie b 1873 (1881 census)
Katherine b 1875 (1881 census)
Willoughby b 1877 (1881, 1891, 1901)
Philip b 1881 - d 1950 (my direct decedent - 1891, 1901)
Fanny Coley b 1883 (1891, 1901, 1911)
John Lee b 1885 (1891,1901, 1911)
Frederick M b 1889 (1891, 1901, 1911)
Rebbecca b 1893 (1901, 1911)

I am hopeless at finding births deaths and marriages in UK. Most of my research experience is in Australia. So I am hoping some kind soul can help me.

Thanks for reading, thanks in advance for helping,

Cheers, Ted

Hello dear Rootschatters,

William George Freeman was a 15 year old convict who came to NSW on "The John" in 1832.

He got his ticket of leave on 19 April 1837 in New South Wales. The next time I can find him is in Adelaide on 15 September 1840 when he marries Sarah Ann Stacey.

I know most things about him before 1837 and after 1840. I know of all his children and most of his decendents.

I just want to know how he got from NSW to SA. There are family stories and information on various websites, but I want proof, and I am finding it hard to find.

Hope someone with better knowledge of SA than me, or with better resources, or just better at finding things will be able to help me.

Thanks for reading this, and thanks in advance for anything you may find.

Cheers, Ted

I am trying to find out where 3 children grew up.

People are helping me on other theads - so this is just a general quetion.

The state I'm interested in is Victoria, but what I am looking for is tips and resources people have used to find children in Australia.

I have used the UK census extensively for my UK families but as we don't have this wonderful resource in Australia - what else is there that I can use to find these children?

Cheers Ted

This request crosses boarders as this family ended up in Durham. You have been so very helpful with this family previously that I thought I'd ask for help on the Durham board before I go to the Northumberland board.

Mary GILROY b 1792 in Northumberland married
George MOON B 1791 also in Northumberland and had the following children

Michael Alfred Moon b 1821 also Northumberland – d 1874 Chester, England
Thomasina Moon b 1824
Henry Moon b 1826 Durham – d 1899 in Australia
George Moon b 1828
Samuel Moon b 1833Durham – d1905 in Australia
Mary Ann Moon  b 1835
Elizabeth Moon b 1838

I have gleaned most of this information from the census but as Mary and George were in their 50's in 1841 and their eldest child on that census was 20. I am presuming there were more children before Michael who had already left home. I would like to find them if someone with more knowledge of England than me, can help me.

The reason we are asking this question is because we are trying to trace whether there were more family who came to Australia.  There are 2 distinct MOON families in Australia, in different states, we would like to make sure if they are related or not.

Thank you in advance and thank you for reading this - and if I have made any mistakes please correct me. Some of the information I have given is guess work.

Cheers, Ted

I have a marriage.

Benjamin WEBB married Caroline WEBB on 10 Jul 1872 in Eaglehawk, Victoria.

They had 7 children and then Caroline died in 1888.

Benjamin went on and re-married and had more children.

Fresh eyes on this would be nice, thanks in advance. Cheers Ted
