Eliza WILLIAMS, parents Susannah WORNES and John WILLIAMS 1860's

[AlbatrossIV]

Looking for any assistance in locating information on Eliza Williams, who was born about 1864 in New Brunswick, Canada and whose parents were John Williams (sailor) b. in Jersey, 1830 and mother Susannah Wornes (Warnes) born in England about 1833. The parents had at least two other children, Stephen Williams (b abt 1853) in Australia and a sister, Amelia, born about 1860 in New Brunswick, Canada.

Any further information on this family would be welcomed as I am putting together a family history report for a descendant in Australia. Eliza Williams married Edward Albert Batson in 1891 in Albury, NSW.

Thank you.

Hi there,

In the 1903 Electoral Roll (the first year that females were included, but it was not compulsory to enrol).... at the polling place of Bowna, (its near Albury, NSW), there's the following people with surname BATSON... (listing is alphabetical, and is NOT by household)..

Edward, living at Tabletop, occupation boundary rider;
Fairley, (a female), living at Bowna, occupation domestic duties
James Valentine, living at Tabletop, occupation labourer,
William, living at Bowna, occupation boundary rider

Still looking for Eliza....

Found them on the 1903 roll!

Same electorate as the ones mentioned in my first reply... but at different polling place.

At Gerogery polling place, in the parliamentary seat of Hume...

There's
Bridget Batson, a female living at Gerogery, domestic duties
Edward Batson, a male living at Ellerslie, a boundary rider
Eliza Batson, a female living at Ellerslie, domestic duties
William Batson, a male living at Gerogery, a boundary rider.

Do you have details of their children?

Also, on the NSW State Archives there's an index reference to an Edward Batson in 1886

On that thread you will find there's some very very good resources.

If you decide to obtain transcripts of NSW BDM certificates, I suggest you use a transcription agent, as that is cheaper, quicker and reliable.  There is a thread on the NSW resources board here at RChat..

Sorry, I just realised WELCOME to Rchat.... its just the best place to get help with family history searchings...

Amongst the many excellent resources at the top of the board -
 - Australian Resources - NSW Resources - include online searchable bdm's for NSW.  You may like the registration numbers for your research.

May I ask what information you require for your friend, as you  mention a descendant in Australia who may have already covered the Australian family history of Elizabeth and Edward, or are you looking for Elizabeth's siblings and parents?

On my version of the NSW 1903 electoral roll it shows the address of Edward and Eliza as Ellerslie [? a property name] and town Splitter's Creek.  If you google maps you will see is an rural locality slightly north west of Albury.  They are the only BATSON's enrolled in the division of Hume with an entry in the "Address" column. 

I mention this as there is place called Ellerslie north east of Albury but in 1903 was not in the Electoral Divison of Hume.
