looking for parents of Elizabeth Poulsen nee Carson
« on: Monday 04 July 16 21:07 BST (UK) »
Hi, I am searching for Elizabeth Carsons history. Was born 15/06/1862, married Christian Poulsen.
I have her childrens details, also her grandkids, 1 of who is my mother. The help I need is for Elizabeths side of family. Her parents and any siblings as I dont have any info. She was Bathhurst NSW.
Any replies very appreciated thanks.

Have you identified her death and got the certificate and applied for her marriage and birth certificates?

Elizabeth Carson is in the Platt family tree on Ancestry.

Worth contacting the tree owner?

So if that tree is correct, she moved to New Zealand after her marriage? They have her parents as John Carson and Elizabeth Park. However they have her place of birth as Kiama which I think is about 295.0 km from Bathurst?

Sorry, just realised family tree is for Elizabeth born 1864 NOT 1862.

Apologies.

Though spouse remains as Christian Poulsen.

I wonder if the owner of that tree is wrong then, I doubt if there were two Elizabeth Carsons marrying a Christian Poulson?  ;D

Tree owner wrong.

Australian teachers' rolls has Elizabeth Carson age 15 in 1879 eventually marrying Rev W Taylor.  Also mention of Kiama.

The cemetery records for the Poulsen family in New Zealand give Elizabeth's dates as 1864 - 1936
