Hi listers, My name is Janelle Bailey. I'm searching the PARSONS family tree. Im having trouble finding the arrival of a PARSONS,james to oz. I'm not sure which port he left from or even where he arrived. He was born in ottery st mary devon in 1837. The next we have on him is that he married in NSW to a NEWETON EDITH in 1865. there is no death record of him in nsw. he just seems to have vanished. I have checked ALL the online databases that i can to tryand get ANY info on him that i can but he seem to have swum to oz (very clever ). James parents were PARSONS JOHN and BERRY MARY(I THINK) on the marriage cert it has MARY TIPPET as mother.On the igi it has that his mother was BERRY. On the kids birth rego it has that james was born in DEVONSHIRE,CORNWALL.Also on his marriage cert it has that he was born in TAVISTOCK. How can one man be born in 4 different places? if sks in england could lookup the marriage of JOHN &MARY it mat help me with the parents names for them. the marriage took place in OTTERY ST MARY DEVON in 1831. if anyone has another ideas on how to get any info it would be appreciated. we have hit some major brickwall on this side of the tree. thanks janelle (in overcast nsw) __________________________________________________________________ Get your free Australian email account at http://www.start.com.au
