Hello to all listers, Thank you very much for all your help my above ancestor and his wife Kathleen nee Williams. In answer to one message, another question : <<< He died 29 Jan 1964 and left a will ref # 576341>>> Living in France, how can I get a copy of this will ? Also, in NSW, do you have divorce records ? Many thanks in advance, Liz

Hi All, Just saw a family bible for sale on ebay. It's one of the huge old ones so would cost a bit for postage. Current bid is $63 and the auction ends at 8 o'clock tonight Family names are Kefford (or Hefford) Sillidge, and Toner. No location given for families. Hope it's yours! Marie

Being quite interested in WW1 art, I couldn't resist googling Mr Maylett. Didn't find any art, but did find the 1891 Warwickshire Ancestors Project - http://www.hunimex.net/warwick/freecens/2437.html - transcription of the 1891 census - free and easy to read! The Maylett family, including Archibald Henry and George Edgar, are listed. Cheers

Hi -- More when I get back from church - thanks for that in fo. I have a couple of relatives contacting me from NZ now. Cheers Ainslie.

Hi Graeme, > > I need some help please. I am trying to find a death for a Madge Valentine > Bowman .

Hi Barbara, Futher to Joan's reply that the records for earlier baptisms are available at some libraries, this link will give you the access points (click onto the placename to get address etc) - http://www.records.nsw.gov.au/state-archives/resources-for/people-in-regional-nsw/community-access-points/community-access-points Marilyn Rowan charges only $10 to transcribe the early church records, I'm not sure what Joy Murrin's fee is - http://www.transcriptions.com.au/pages/transerv.php On the NSW BMD Indexes, the William BARTON born 1847 has parents Thomas and Elizabeth. There is an arrival of Thomas and Elizabeth BARTON aboard "William Metcalfe" in 1844. The Online Reel shows this as a bounty ship, arrived Sydney on 13 March 1844; they are shown as Thomas BURTON aged 28 from Wiltshire, Protestant, an agricultural labourer who can both read and write; and Elizabeth BURTON, 20, Hampshire, Protestant, read and write, tailoress.

Hi again folks, Well these lists are the most marvellous means of putting descendants of ancestors who were friends nearly a century ago!!!! I received a reply from Jeni - in NZ with the following message quote I have had a closer look at the Maylett family. They were first cousins of my great-grandfather. Archibald Maylett stuck in my memory as the name is distinctive. He traveled to NZ with my great-great-grandmother Eliza Mellar in 1901 when she emigrated. Archibald was known for a drawing that he did after WWI of a cenotaph. I have attached a small copy of the file. He had a brother George Edgar Maylett and I wonder if it was him who was friends with your grandfather. George served with the Wellington Infantry Battalion and went overseas in August 1915. He married some years after his return and I think he had two daughters but I am not in touch with any descendants though there probably are some. end quote I had a much closer look at my picture after emailing my sister in Nelson who has the other picture in her possession. It is definitely a G and an E - before the name Maylett. The stroke of the G looked as if it was a C with a short underscore mark - and what I thought was an F was an E again with a longer horizontal stroke. In my sister's painting the G and E are far better defined. Then thanks to Cara Links in Tasmania who looked up PapersPast - and came up with a 1917 issue of the Poverty Bay Herald Newspaper dated 24th July 1917 Honor Roll. and half way down the report, under "Hospital and Progress Report" up came the name G.E. Maylett. Now I am assuming that Maylett and my grandfather JJ Stroud were in the same hospital in France after being injured in battle - and as part of their rehabilitation they got together and created the paintings and verse. There are probably others out somewhere. I am also guessing that Maylett could well have joined up with Byrne Stroud Productions or Stroud and Newson to do the artwork on the covers of some of the music composed by my grandfather and others in his company. Anyone wanting more information can email me on or off list on this - Cheers Ainslie.

Hi Everyone I need some help please. I am trying to find a death for a Madge Valentine Bowman daughter of Austin George Bowman and Edith May Bowman (nee Aldridge) Madge was 53yrs of age when her father died on the 2/3/1969 at Wyong. Her address at the time was 21 Alison Road Wyong> I cannot find a death at all. Regards Grahame James Grahame James

I am hoping to identify the parents of my g-grandfather, William Barton. According ages shown on birth registrations of his children, he would have been born 1847/1847 and stated that he had been born in Windsor. William's marriage certificate says "Parents not listed" and his death cert "Parents not known". NSW BDM's have no birth registered for a William Barton in the right time frame (a couple too early) but there is one for a William Burton born 1847. Can someone tell me how to access the registers that the information on NSW BDM were transcribed from. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Hi again folks, Further to my email last night regarding a framed painting of a pensive brunette, clutching a rose painted by a C.F. Maylett in France in 1917 with a verse included in the composition written by my late grandfather, James Jesse Stroud My sister, in NZ. also has one of these 'portrait-verse combos by the same artist and poet and Maylett's signature is much clearer. The first initial is "G" not a "C" - <quote>G.E.Maylett 1917 France "One glimpse of Aidenne in thine eyes, Fair flower of France and I am wise, with cupids wealth of mystic love, A slave to love for evermore." So - if any lister has a G.F.Maylett in their family tree - we'd be happy to send a copy of these early 19th C collaborative pieces between JJ Stroud and G.F.Maylett. As I've found out that my Grandfather was seriously injured during a shell attack in the trenches when three of his close mates were killed in the blast he was extremely traumatised by the incident and he suffered severe shell-shock, hospitalised in France (and or England) for some months with severe neurosis in France before being repatriated back to NZ that same year. I'm wondering if these paintings may have been done in the hospital as some sort of occupational therapy. But I have a vague recollection that they were painted on the troop ship bring him back to NZ - in which case Maylett returned to NZ at the same time as Stroud and they had a tidy little business producing these for soldiers pining for sweethearts back in France, maybe?!! Cheers Ainslie.

Hi All, Can anyone recommend a researcher for me who knows the rate books and associated maps... for the period 1841-1854 (either end of George St)? Please email me off line, Thanks, Peter, Melbourne

Hi folks, I have in my possession a framed painting done by "C.F.Maylett 1917 France" The subject is a young woman looking very pensive, brunette, with blue eyes, alongside which is written a short poem which my late grandfather penned for some young soldier, or sailor as the troop ship carried them to/or from the Northern Hemisphere battlefronts. The poem is "Ma cherie, but I sit and "dreem".. Zee days zay pass and so it seem To ze sad heart of poor Jeanette Zat you forget, you forget." My mother told me that soldiers would be pining for a lost love and a couple of young entrepreneurs - my grandfather and his artist friend would oblige by joining forces to produce the artworks. My question is - are there any relatives or descendants of C.F.Maylett on the list as I'd like to make contact and send them a scan of the framed picture. Cheers Ainslie Pyne Adelaide, South Australia.

Hi List, I have Shipping record Ticket of leave and Conditional Pardon for Henry Palmer, arrived here 1833 on the " Lord Lyndoch", given a Life Sentence for sheep stealing. As I am unable at the moment to get to the library for a few weeks, I am hoping someone could maybe find his wife Elizabeth coming to Australia either on the " Star of the East" in 1853 with their son John Palmer, or more likely earlier. Henry was in the Casino area on Tomki Station until his death. I do know that Henry Palmer and Elizabeth ??? married in Lancaster between 1828/1830 but so far have not been able to locate their marriage, so am hoping somehow to at least get Elizabeth's arrival here. John was their only child. Thank you very much for any advice Sandra

Hi Gloria, Both correct in Catholicism - a priest would be the Reverend Father John Smith, and a nun would be the Reverend Mother Mary Smith. Usually in the written term, and addressed as Father or Mother when face-to-face. Holy Cross Catholic Church is at 15 Adelaide St Wollahra; Mary Immaculate at Victoria St Waverley. On Whereis there is no Albert St in Wollahra.
