Working backwards here as I'm not sure how to find the information I'm looking for.

Alice Kath Platt (nee Williams)
died: 7/1/1902 in Western Australia aged 35
buried in Karrakatta Cemetery

married Joseph Platt
21/5/1883 in Adelaide South Australia

born: 1867
Parents: Thomas Williams & Martha Errington.

Just trying to work out where she was born and more about her parents.

Have found a Summary of Record Information that confirms her death.

Feel free to move this somewhere else if needed

Thanks

Peckham St Mary Magdalene Surrey
Martha Collins Errington
Father Joseph Errington
Mother Mary Errington

Marriage for Joseph Errington 4 December 1843 father Thomas Errington
St Mary's Lambeth Surrey
Spouse Mary Ann Elizabeth Wilson her father Joseph Wilson

The family are on the 1851 Census Surrey England

Death for a Mary Ann Elizabeth Errington

Has her father down as Joseph Errington quite possibly mistake by the person giving information

Hi,

Look's like the Williams family may have arrived in Australia in 1856. Passenger listing index here: https://www.records.nsw.gov.au/searchhits_nocopy?page=17&id=9&Surname=&Firstname=&Ship=Vocalist&Year=1856&Arriving=&Remarks=

Surname: Williams
First Name: Thomas (age 29), Martha (age 29) & Emily (age 3)
Ship: Vocalist
Year: 1856
Arriving: Sydney and/or Newcastle

Hope this helps.

Kind regards

David

Hi,

The ship 'Vocalist' arrived in Australia on 11th October 1856. Link here: https://www.records.nsw.gov.au/searchhits_nocopy?id=49&ship%20name=Vocalist&year=1856&month=0

Hope this helps.

Kind regards

Hi,

Here is a link to a pdf of the original passenger list of the 'Lady Ann', which arrived on 11th Oct 1857. Link here: https://www.archives.sa.gov.au/sites/default/files/documentstore/passengerlists/1857/GRG35_48_1_57-11_Lady%20Ann.pdf

It shows the following Erringtons (on page 1):

Errington, Joseph, Mary, Martha, William, Annie, Emma & Joseph & it shows them to be from the county of Surrey.

Joseph & Mary are shown as 37 years old, Martha as a 12 year old domestic servant, William as aged 9, Annie aged 6, Emma aged 4 and Joseph aged 2.

The family also appear on the last page of the document, which is a Nominee Remittance form, showing (if I read it correctly!) that a John Allen either payed for their voyage or made a contribution towards it.

Hope this helps anyway.

Kind regards

David

PS, with Martha on board with her parents, it makes my first two replies incorrect! Apologies for that.

Thank you for your help everyone,

I wonder where Thomas went to? We have him as father to Alice but nothing else...

Any ideas where to look? Do I need to go searching around Adelaide???

Bit far though

Thanks again, I'm sure more info will turn up
