Charlotte ABERCROMBIE to Queensland?

[Cazay]

Hi John

I have found some information that could be worth checking out for you.  There is a John Edmondson born 1883 with parents given as simply Edmondson and Charlotte Abercrombie, no other details were listed.

A death in Qld - Jane Edmondson, parents John Moor Edmondson and Charlotte Obercrombie 1888/C3735

Death, John Moore Edmondson 1894/C2193 (born England aged 33 yrs)

From Freebmd - John Moor Edmondson at Cockermouth, Vol 10b, p 443 - March 1861

I am going to the library in the next couple of days so could try and find some further details to see if this matches up.

I have some Q  birth certificates well before 1908 and the mother's birthplace is shown - one in 1890. Hopes this helps, Gazania

Hi Cazay,
That's great. Thank you. I have done a bit more searching of the online QLD births marriages and deaths and have found 3 more EDMONDSON births with John (or John Moor) EDMONDSON as the father and Charlotte ABERCROMBIE as the mother. They are:
Jane EDMONDSON 1887
Thomas EDMONDSON 1889
William EDMONDSON 1891
I have also found the marriages of John Leslie EDMONDSON (to Annie SQUIRE in 1928) and Elizabeth Alice EDMONDSON (to William Henry COVINGTON in 1902).
I could not find the death of Charlotte EDMONDSON (or ABERCROMBIE), but the online index only goes up to 1929. If I can find her death somehow, I think her death certificate should tell me where she was born.
Thanks again, John

Hi Gazania,

That is very interesting. I have just discovered that the Queensland Charlotte had a child in 1891 (William EDMONDSON). If I get that birth certificate, perhaps it will tell me where Charlotte was born.
Thank you very much,
John

Hi Dee,
Thanks for those details. With help from you and others, I am gathering quite a lot of information on this Charlotte's family in Queensland. It would be great if I could link her to England with a birth around 1857.

Hi John

I found a marriage which could be Charlotte remarrying after John Edmondson died.

1895/C1191 Charlotte Edmondstone/Arthur Henry Copeman

At the moment I can't get onto the Qld bdm site to check if there is a death for her and if any other details given, that is if she died before 1929.

Some of these names appear in records in the North Qld area........Charters Towers, Townsville, Ayr. 

Lots of things still to be found if this is indeed your Charlotte.
