Mary Jane and Lillian Weir

[telephonist]

Hi there, anyone know of these sisters who came out to NZ 1880, born in Swansea around 1858 to Thomas and Sarah Weir. Or any info re the parents would be wonderful too.

[telephonist]

Can someone please look up the 1871 Wales census for the following family.
Thomas  and Mary Ann Weir (parents)
Children Catherine and Lillian (Catherine seemingly born in Woolwich) but Lilian born in Swansea.
I believe that Mary Anne could be the second wife as there was mention of a Sarah Weir as wife also.

Hi Telephonist

Do you have this family on other censuses?

If you could post details of their dates of birth and places, plus any other info, that would help with the search

kind regards, Arranroots

Thankyou everyone who has replied to my request. I'm away for two weeks now so will get back on line upon our return.

Hello again, long break! I'm wondering what has happened to Sarah from the family, I know Mary Jane married Charles Austin Sumner Sept 1879 in Swansea  and came to NZ soon after. And now Iyou have found Catherine married Henry Waldron.
 I have always been told Thomas wife was Sarah and Mary Anne second wife???
