Richard Henry EDWARDS look up request
« on: Monday 29 June 09 01:11 BST (UK) »
Hi Everyone,

Would someone please help me in my quest to find the death dates of Richard Henry Edwards (born 1834 Redruth, Cornwall, England) and Elizabeth Dav(e)y (born 9 jul 1837 in Plymouth, Devon, England). They married in Victoria 6 Jul 1853, but their children are all registered in South Australia, so I am inclined to think they lived and died there as well. I need to know their death dates to complete my research on the family, so if someone would be so kind as to please check the deaths for SA and if not there, maybe Vic or QLD? I know it is asking alot but it would mean the world to me.

Thankyou for reading this post!

Where in South Australia were the chn born?

I can't see a death for a Richard Henry EDWARDS who would have been b. c1837 in the SA Indexes. 

Do you have either of their parents' names to assist with a Victorian search?

Perhaps you would like search in Qld

Hello

There are some births in Victoria for this couple:
 
Elizabeth 1857 Forrest Creek #3227
James 1858 Campbells Creek #13819
Emma Mary 1862 Forrest Creek #7122

parents Richard Henry Edwards and Elizabeth Davey.

It woould seem that they went to SA after 1862. I can't check SA records but I am sure another Rootschatter will be able to.

good luck

Robyn

Found it everyone!

They both died in NZ, that is why they weren't anywhere to be found!

Thanks for the help!
