Hi Alice, My name is Jan Alford-Jarvis, and I was interested to see that your relative Robert CLAPHAM married a Elizabeth GILES in Toowoomba in 1892. Do you know or have any information on Elizabeth GILES and her family?. One of my relatives Elizabeth Ann BIBBS married John GILES in 1899 in Queensland. I have yet to get the marriage certificate to find out who John's parents were, but I know he died and Elizabeth remarried. So far I have found 3 possible deaths & parents of John on the indexes that are around the 1930's which fits in with my information. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks. Kind regards Jan. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Noel & Alice Peters" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, 11 January 2001 20:13 Subject: Clapham research > > > I am trying to find details of my grandfather ROBERT EMMERSON CLAPHAM b 1867 Durham England arrived Qld 1877 with family.
