SA Birth & Deaths

[joppo1968]

I'd be grateful if some RC would have a look for me to see if there are any children born in SA to Benjamin John & Frances Sandford or Sanford. One child is John & would have been born between 1834-1837. The parents migrated from WA to Tasmania in 1832 & I can't find any children born in Tassie & then they went from Tassie to SA in 1845. Are there any death records in SA for Benjamin John or Frances Sandford/Sanford?

Cheers,

Mike.

Marriage of the son John is listed. Details availble if you would like them. There are no marriages of any other children with father Benjamin though under either Sandford or Sanford.

According to this, John was born before 1832.....

John SANDFORD aged 40 married Sarah BROOKS aged 40 on 31 Aug 1866 at St John Church Salisbury
Fathers = Benjamin SANDFORD & James GARDENER
Ref =  Ade 68/426


Looks as though Sarah was a widow.

Are there any marriages etc for Eliza Jane Sanford & Fanny Kisiah Sanford/Sandford in SA Dee? They were both baptized in Tasmanian in 1839 but most probably born prior to that.

Regards,

Mike.

I'll take a look, Mike.

I've just found an entry in BISA stating that a John SANDFORD arrived 1845 on board the Henry from Tasmania, wife unknown with 4 children. Could that be your Benjamin John?
