Witts Family Marriage & Births Look Ups Please
« on: Saturday 05 April 08 20:14 BST (UK) »
HiYall

Wondered if any of you can help me with the Witts Family

George Charles Witts born 01 May 1842 Berrima, NSW the son of Alfred D Witts and Rebecca Miles

Her married Sarah Lavelle (Where? When?) and they had the following children:

1 Rebecca Helen WITTS  b: 1868 
2 Wiliam George WITTS  b: 1871
3 Alfred Charles WITTS  b: 1875
4 Rose Stella WITTS  b: 1882 
5 Richard Walker WITTS  b: 1888

No idea where any of them were born or where & when the marriage took place so I would like more info on this and also the origins of Sarah Lavelle if possible; George died in Bainsdale(?) Victoria 1890, if that is any help.

Ta very Much :-* :-*

Father = William LEVELL & Mother = Ellen KENNEY
Ref = 43664
This birth record has been taken from the Parish Records ST FRANCIS, MELBOURNE, of the ROMAN CATHOLIC Denomination.

Would have to be the one on the birth record - even with multiple marriages one has to assume the birth mother knew her name - the marriage certificate of Sarah may confirm
