Hi outback_thunda, and welcome to Rootschat  :)

I live at Murrumbateman, not a million miles from Binalong   ;)

Can you give us a time period please, and tell us what kind of information you are after?  Do you want ancestry, descendants, siblings...

You will get plenty of help from Rootschatters but we need to know what it is you're after, and what information you already have (so we don't double up and research what you already know!)

Cheers
Prue

Hi Outback_thunda,

Adding MOI welcome too.

Possibly your chap lived in NSW, as on the NSW BDM index there's a REECE, Richard Napoleon W T aged 77 years who died at Tamworth in 1948.  The reference number is 24247/1948.   

If you want the certificate, may I suggest you go for a transcript...  these are quicker and much cheaper and can be sent by email to you...  I'll modify this post shortly with the link for info about transcripts  :D

Many Cheers,

JM

There is an online family tree that should be publicly available (i.e. not to just subscribers), which shows details of these people:


http://www.rootschat.com/links/07jq/

This tree has your man as "Wychomb Napoleon TOWNSEND" and he shows up in the NSW BDM index registered in Warialda in 1871:

TOWNSEND, Whycombe Napoleon R.  
Father -  William.  Mother - Annie Adelaide.
Registration number:  18834/1871     

I won't do anything further until we hear back from you about what it is you're after  :)

Cheers
Prue

Here is the first marriage opf Ann(i)e
2834/1861  Isaac REECE to Annie A MARDDRAH; marriage registered at Scone.

One child to this couple
1863  Flora REECE, father Isaac, mother Anne, (reg 13447)

Isaac REECE died in Mudgee, 1872 (reg 4989)

Couldn't see a marriage for Annie and Edward TOWNSEND in NSW but there are all these births with father Edward Townsend.  All the mothers are listed as Annie BUT I wonder if the ones born in Braidwood, Queanbeyan and Newtown are for a different couple, as the others all show the mother as Annie A or Annie Adelaide, and are in the north of NSW - also two of these registrations are the same year which is less likely in my opinion.


1871  Whycome Napoleon R TOWNSEND   
father: William, mother Annie Adelaide  Warialda Reg 18834

1872  Mary Elizabeth TOWNSEND
father: William, mother Annie, Braidwood     Reg 7716

1874  Annie Amelia R TOWNSEND   
father: William, mother Annie A, Tamworth Reg 19592

1876   Sophia TOWNSEND
father: William, mother Annie Adelaide   Nundle   Reg 17465

1877  Frederick William TOWNSEND
father: William, mother Annie, Queanbeyan  Reg 19447
   
1880  Albert Ernest J TOWNSEND
father: William, mother Annie Adelaide, Walcha Reg 9297

1884 Edward TOWNSEND
father: William, mother Annie, Newtown Reg   7892

1884  Florence M TOWNSEND 
father: William, mother Annie A, Glen Innes, Reg 19145

1887  Elizabeth TOWNSEND 
father: William, mother Annie, Braidwood  reg16860

Wow, thank you for your help guys.....Im stoked at how much information yous seem to have gathered in such a short time. I already have that same information. Where I am stuck is that I can't seem to find any further information on the following.:

I have Richard N W Townsend born as that in 1871
I have him as death 1948 Tamworth.
I also have his mother after much search as Annie Adelaide Marddrah, 1st marriage Isaace Reec
2nd Marriage as William Townsend...obviously the father of Richard Townsend......(WHy he change dhis name to Reece beats me but I will probably never know that.LOL)

I know the mother of Annie Adelaide Is Helen....maybe Bearcroft or similar yet fathers name is supposedly Jacob Steele.All this I have on certificate . but don't understand why Annie's surname is Marddrah and not matching that of either supposed parent. i can't find anything. Annie was born approx 1842 in Parramatta and I am unable to find a birth record for this anywhere. Her Death was 1893 in Emmaville. ANd my appologies it wasn't Binalong. It was Bingara. She was the First school teacher at Bingara.That was a fluke find on google.


If it was possible for any help with that to start with it would be greatley appreciated. I hope I haven't confused anyone. I have confused myself. hahah



Thanks Dianne
