Re: Australian Lookup Offers

[Joany]

Hi, I was wondering when you have time could you possibly look up for any children born in South Australia with parents named:  William Thorne and wife Hanna or Anna Meria Thorne nee Chant.

Groom: THORNE
Given names: William
Bride: CHANT
Given names: Hanna Meria (Also known as Anna Meria)
Date: 1857-03-30
Groom Age: 22
Status: N
Groom's Father: Henery THORNE
Bride Age: 19
Status: N
Bride's Father: William CHANT
Place: Res of W Thorne East Auburn
District: Cla
Symbol: A
Book/Page: 29/295
Cross Reference

I have not been able to find any reference to any children but do know from the Telstra white pages that there are Thornes in South Australia.

Many Thanks
Joany

Hi Joany....Im not far from Auburn actually ....Quite a Few Thornes and lots of Thorns but I could not locate any births to this couple...Sorry Kris 

[krisesjoint]

Vickie Have been looking again for Elizabeth Semmens...Trying every spelling I could think of....Thought I was onto something when I found 5 births to John Simmons and Catherine Williams at Moonta 1879-1886 but alas no Elizabeth...Finally after trying again for a marriage without success I did try Williams and nudge nudge    say no more!

WILLIAMS Elizabeth Jane Simmonds 26 April 1870 Moonto Dist Darl. Vol 82 Page 526 Father Not recorded Mother Jane Williams

Hi,

Do you think you could possibly check me these names.  I do not have that much info but I have a bit more now thanks to another helper on this site
Some time before (info from Will) 1870 the following family left Yeadon, Yorkshire for Australia,  I now know that they did not return.
George Starkey b 1826 Yeadon, Yorkshire
Amelia Ann Starkey b1823 Helston, Cornwall
Edward Robinson Starkey b 1852 Yeadon Yorkshire
Frederick William Starkey b 1854 Yeadon Yorkshire
William Henry b 1857 Yeadon Yorkshire.

Edward served in the Boer War in the 1 (Qld Mntd Inf) Contgt and he was invalided to England arriving 09.06.00.  Did he return?  He is not in the 1901 census and I can not find a death registered for him in the UK.  William Henry also served in 6 (Qld Imperial Bushmen) Cntgnt - no other info on him at all.

George Starkey is listed in the 61 census as Ag Lab Dealer (Cattle) they were not a poor family - Father was a Methodist Minister and Gentleman.

Thanks

Marsden

Thank you Kris for trying anyway.  Looks as though I will have to write to the South Australian families snail mail.  I do appreciate your quick response to my request.  Thanks once again.

  Hello, I sent a private message earlier, I am now attempting to attach the details I mentioned. If it doesn't work I'll have to get your email. Anyway sort through it all, see if you think any connect, and let me know if you'd like any more lookups. Cheers!

Hello there,  I would be grateful if you could look up any info
on Qld. Pioneer index for info on the families of Richard Heath and Ann Irena White, married 7.4.1864.  Richard was born about 1837/8.  Also my paternal great-grandparents, John William (I think) Knowles who married Priscilla.  Sorry I do not have any other info on them, except I think they originally came from Birmingham, England.  By the way, what county is Birmingham in - all I can seem to find out is that its in the West Midlands.  Any information on the above would be a great help.  Thanks.

  Hello,
I am seeking info about the ship on which John and Mary McKinnon from Scotland came over to Australia with their son, Hector (app.2y.o.)  It would have been abt.1860.  Thanks.

I had more of a query as to how to go about finding info--I had two great aunts who were religious nuns who emigrated to Australia and serve there all their livesI figure they left Ireland in the 1910's--1930? (my parents think in the Perth area but not sure).
I have their birth dates-- Mary E. McIntyre was born 1886 and Annie Mc Intyre was born in 1894.
Is there any suggestion you can give me?
Thank you Deirdre
