Hi Janelle, Here are some deaths, I think the first one might be the correct one as he died in 1875, age 37, so this make date of birth 1837/1838. Macquarie Plains I would was in Tasmania not NSW, but maybe this was his birth place not his death place, because registered state is NSW. Happy hunting Glenda Mumme PARSONS, James Death Age at Death: 37 Death Place: Macquarie Plains Index Year: 1875 Reg Year: 1875 Reg State: New South Wales Ref Number: 4742 PARSONS, James Death Father: John Mother: Eliza Index Year: 1875 Reg Year: 1875 Reg State: New South Wales Ref Number: 9855 PARSONS, James Death Father: Thomas H Mother: Iith J Index Year: 1888 Reg Year: 1888 Reg State: New South Wales Ref Number: 6034 > -----Original Message----- > From: janelle bailey [mailto:strop2000@start.com.au] > Sent: Thursday, 6 December 2001 10:13 > To: AUS-IMMIGRATION-SHIPS-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [AUS-IMM-SHIPS] parsons to oz > > > hi everyone, i'm searching for a james parsons that came to oz c1865. > he married in sydney in 1865. he was a miner and he followed the > mining towns.last known report was in dubbo. he married edith ada > newton. they had 6 kids. ada died in 1876. > > > > i hope sks has come across this man as my rellies and i can't seem to > locate him. i'm sorry we have no ship name or port or arrival date > > > thanks > > > janelle > > > __________________________________________________________________ > Get your free Australian email account at http://www.start.com.au > > ______________________________
