Nankervis , John aged 77 2/7/1907

Would maybe this be  the death certificate to persue?

What do you  girls think

There are also a number of  births in Victoria  for John Nankervis and Nanny Chirgwin  in the 1850's.

Would that indicate that you  could rule out this family  from  your searchings

Hey

I thought I had sent a posting did not go here we go again

Hey Everyone

My feeling is we have to go back to these dreaded SA Records and find out their validity. Is the information about their births coming from a reliable source. I somehow do not think so. Is there anyone that can think of anything.

Cheers

Sandra

Not sure as to what you mean here Sandra,
the birth records on  the indexs are from the actual records.

As  Cando  suggest it would be interesting to see who recorded the births.

Perhaps I am being a bit stupid  here  but I  cannot see anything  tying  your ggfather by tracing him backwards to Sa  to  the births recorded in Victoria.  The only  thing  in  common  seems to be  the Name John Warren Nankervis.

On  both of  the death certificates you  have  neither your ggf or his brother get a mention.


Kind thoughts Jenn

Sandra,
I  had  meant to mention also  but felt you allready knew this but  William George Henry Nankervis birth was also registerd as ADAMS.

Hi Jenn

I know, that is why it is probably not him. I am probably ignorant about SA Records. Are you saying that the ones we are accessing are Government records? If that is the case that is wonderful, and we have a good deal more information than I thought. I was starting to think they were just something someone had started up. The reason I have been going the way I have, is because I cannot finsd him in SA. I probably stupidly thought because my GGrandfather had moved to Victoria so had he. I hate to think I am going to give up but at the moment I feel like I will.

Hi Jenn

I did know that, someone for a short time helped me, and then baled. They told me that. Still if these are the original records I may be able to get somewhere. If I rang SA who would you reccommendto speak to. There must be something somewhere surely.

Hugs

Sandra
