Hi Lynda

Where is your chap in 1851 and does the birthdate as given in the death that Cando found for you match the census entry?

There is a digitised grant of probate for Thomas GLEDHILL died 4 May 1876, farmer of Eppalock, near Sandhurst.  Probate granted to James Pendleton, store-keeper of Sandhurst and Sarah Gledhill, widow.  Unfortunately the will itself is not digitised.

There is a will for Sarah Gledhill of King St, Bendigo, formerly of Eppalock, widow, died 13 April 1906. It states she had one-fifth share of her husband's estate.  All of her estate left to her son Edward Arthur Gledhill.

So this would be the family Cando has listed for you.  However, whether he is your Thomas is not clear yet.

Cheers, Judith

Food for thought indeedso it's back to the boards to see if I can find better proof that the Aussue Thomas Gledhill is the same Gledhill from Yorkshire and that both of those, are my Gledhill.

Very grateful for all the assistance and informaiton -- I have to say I am blown away by the depth of details uncovered on my behalf. This is my first foray into any Aussie connection and I was stumped at where to start looking up what so that you all so much for your help...

It's fabulous that you have free newspaper archives out there!  wow......

I'll call this closed for the moment to take it off the board but will update as soon as I have some sort of cnfirmation one way of the other..

Cheers...

The Will is not digitised...see reply#10

Lynda I hope you don't mind me posting after you 'closed' the thread.  I wonder if you are aware of the information on certificates in Victoria?
Info -
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,373754.0.html

The marriage cert in 1855 of Thomas and Sarah would give you identifying information - hopefully including naming Thomas if it is your man, as a widower and number of previous issue, living and deceased.

It is possible to purchase [AUD$17.50] and immediately download an image of the certificate.  You will need the registration number - reply#1

Edit.   Lynda I have done some research in India albeit it some time ago, and can't lay my hands on my notes...they are somewhere in my files   In the interim why not browse the resources here

I am able to open the probate file - VPRS 28 P2.  This Thomas Gledhill is husband of Sarah. Pendleton does not seem to be a family member, no children named.
