Hi Cando

Me again. I do not know why they do not want to talk of Sophia  Adams. This Old fellow that my cousin was talking to clammed up when talking of her.He is in his 90's. Doug has got in touch with someone there, and they say they will get in touch with him but have not. He seems to have hope I do not. I have got most of my records off Ancestory (Sorry I confused you). There are a few family trees on there that are completely wrong, I am sure. I have been researching my Megee side and thought I had problems there but it has been nothing compared to this. Have you got a site where I can search SA all I can fins are Microfiche searchings.

Warm regards

once again

Sandra

Hi Sandra

I agree with you....Sophia and John do not appear to have married.  Just a couple of things...the John who died in Daylesford in 1917 was aged 71 years ie born 1846.  The name WARREN/WARNE/WERNE/WEARNE keeps appearing.  I am wondering if they were cousins or perhaps 2nd cousins.

I think you need to actually sight the 1917 death certificate to see what information is on it. ....well that's what I would be doing.  Certs are the only way to go....and hopefully not too many porkies were told along the way.  I note that Mary Wearn's vital facts are all well supported.

If you ever purchase the certificate I am sure all those who are reading this thread will be interested....especially if the gentleman who died in 1917 spent any time in South Australia.  It should be noted on the death certificate.

Cheers for now
Cando

Thank you Cando

I have all the information on both William George Henry and Herbert Henry Thomas. Thank You. It is just their wretched Grandfather and Father that is driving me crazy along with Grandmother and Mother.Were you able to open the marriage certificate? I feel he has lied and that his wife did not know any of this. If you see on his marriage certificate it looks as if he is born in 1846. There is also the possiblilty that it is not him. I shall for peace of mind get the death certificate, will do so when I get home, as I have the reference numbers there. I really do not think we will learn any more.

Warm regards

Sandra

I don't see a  marriage cert attached to any message. 

NANKERVIS John Warren
Father Nankervis John  Mother Jane WARREN
71 years At Daylesford  1917 Reg#8256

I agree with you it may not be your ancestor.  Too many NANKERVIS marrying NANKERVIS and then this WARREN/WEARNE/WARNE name as well.  Let's hope the cert may yield some more information.

Cheers
