Europe / Re: BELGIUM: Twins born to British parents
« on: Thursday 02 July 20 01:39 BST (UK)  »
Hi Everyone, Especially the Cousins.

I have sent copies of the birth certificates to my son this morning so that my daughter in law can translate them for me.

I said "if I send you some documents do you think A#$%% can translate them for me" He asked what they were and I said "they are my great grandmothers and her twins birth certificates" (he knows they were born in Belgium).

His reply "Mum she was my great "something" grandmother too, in fact she is more great to me than to you."

I had to share as I am still laughing.

Cheers, from Ted

Hi Everyone, Especially Cousins Lorraine and Richard,

What amazing wonderful news! I am actually skipping round the room with tears in my eyes. Wow who would have thought we would find their births.

Unfortunately my dad is no longer with us to share this with, but he would be as amazed and thankful as I am.

Thank you so much leen and everyone else who has helped for information and suggestions over the years from me starting this thread. I am a little better now finding information and documents, but no English speaking countries still flummox me .

It was just yesterday when I was starting my Memorial Scrapbook Album for my Mum that I came across a photo graph of Sarah.

Again Thank you everyone, Lorraine and Richard please keep in touch from Cousin Ted in Australia.

Thank you everyone again for your help.

I have now scrolled through the Gazettes and found a map where Penshurst was proclaimed as a township. The map includes an area called Yalimba.    So apart from why they went there for 2 years, I can now picture where they lived.

Once again the gang at Rootschat are amazing and can solve what I think are the most unsolveable questions.

I am declaring this one SOLVED.

Woo Hoo. Thanks again Roots Chat Friends.

Luv, Ted.

Thanks Cando.

I've bought the certificate.

The place of birth shows Yalinba, Shire of Mount Rouse. I can find it listed in Gazettes but not on a map.

The other entrys on the page are in Penshurst and Boram Boram.

The father's job is listed as Labourer.

So thanks for your help everyone.

Cheers, Ted

Thanks Cup of Life. Everyone here is always so helpful.

That solves that question.

Now just to figure out what the family were doing there (apart from having children that is).

Cheers, Ted

Thank you so much for the link Floozy.

There are a few trees on the net with it assumed to be Penshurst, but looking at where the rest of the family were born it didn't make much sense.

First 2 were born in Christchurch NZ, then next one born in Montrose Victoria, then there is my girl born "Prnhust", then then 6 born in Ballarat.

Oh well, I will keep thinking.

Cheers, Ted
