QLD/NSW Lookup please
« on: Monday 02 July 07 05:13 BST (UK) »
Hi All

I am finally back onto the family history track and am now as confused as ever!!

My gg grandmother's name is Catherine Donoughoe. Now on her QLD 1881 marriage certificate to Thomas William Casey it states that she was born to Michael Donoughoe and Ellen Clifford in Goulburn NSW and her age at this time was 20. So I am guessing she was born about 1861.

I have looked at the NSW BDM and cannot find her with parents of this name but have found a Catherine Donohue born to Michael and Julia in Goulburn in 1861 which is the only thing I have found that is anywhere near close. (I did find children to a Michael and Ellen of this town but they were not named Catherine and the year of birth was incorrect)

I was hoping that maybe some info with her death might shed some light on the situation. I have found her death in the Brisbane Grave search as Catherine Casey buried 02/07/1935. Would it be possible for someone to search the death records for me and see if there are parent names attached??

I have also my gg grandfather's police records and there is another surname variation of O'Donoughue in these. But I have searched all of the name variants I can think of.

I cannot seem to find anymore information that can lead me anywhere so any help will be much appreciated!!!

Cheers

Hi Andrea

1935 Qld is only available at libraries etc. so may have to wait a short while until someone is heading that way. Thus said, the information on a marriage certificate would usually be  more accurate than on a death certificate. Is it possible that Julia perhaps died shortly after the birth of Catherine - Michael then remarrying & Catherine not knowing her "real" mother.  I will have a browse of the NSW marriages  :)

Hi Trish

That is possible. I originally did a search and found 2 Mary's born to Michael and Ellen and thought maybe one of them was my Catherine, but then realised the date was all wrong. But this could be possible.......oh this is a great thought! Now I am going to have a good look  ;)

Cheers

Hi Andrea,

I can pop over to the Archives to check that death for you, maybe later this week if that's OK.

No I don't think so - if it's only Catherine's parents you are after.

Have a think and if there's anything or anyone else you need looked up while I'm there I'll be happy to do so.

Hi Andrea,

I have just come back from the archives, searched rootschat for your post so I could reply, and discovered that you already had much of the BMD info I found.

Nevertheless I will list what I found although some of it will be duplicated from previous lookups.

Catherine Casey died 1st July 1935, father Michael Donohoe (spelling as per fiche), mother Ellen Clifford.

Irving Sydney Crow married Hannah Chamberlain 22 Dec 1888.
Hannah Crow died 26 Jan 1894 (father William Chamberlain, mother Sarah Ann Goddard).

Irvin Sydney Crow married Sarah Elizabeth Janson 4th April 1899.
Sarah Elizabeth Crow died 11 Dec 1916 (father Laurens Janson, mother Sarah Boyle).

Irvin Sydney Crow married Maud Kathleen Victoria Wright 1st Feb 1918.

Irvin Sydney Crow died 17 April 1929, father Robert Crow, mother Elizabeth Hall.

Maud Crow died 10 Feb 1948 (father Percival George Wright, mother Mary Conniff)

Irvin's children with  Hannah:
Ada Sophia Violet b 28 May 1890
Louie Linda Lily b 10 Nov 1893 (Lowie married Patrick Byrne on 2 Oct 1922)

Irvin's children with Sarah:
Hilda Mercia b 19 Mar 1900 (Hilda married George Dicker 18 June 1921)
Irvin Laurens b 1 Jan 1905 (Irvin married Myrtle Jane Smith 21 June 1926)
Dulcimer Theddlethorpe b 1 Feb 1903 d 8 Feb 1916
Leila Edith b 25 July 1912
Myra Catherine b 7 Mar 1910 (Myra married Arthur West 20 Mar 1933)
Una Corelli b 14 OCtober 1906

Irvin's children with Maud:
none found

I suppose you could order Irvin's death certificate to glean more information.

Had a look at the immigration books.
This may be Irvin:

Crow Irwin S, age 19, ship Dorunda, arrived 1 Aug 1885, IMM/120, p 239, Z1962
The film give little more information except that his "status or calling" was "L" which I think is labourer. And he is from Lincoln.
These two were on the same ship, also from Lincoln and both domestic servants:
Clara Crow age 23 and Edith Crow aged 15.

I hope this information is of some help to you. Let me know if you need further lookups.
