Hi Everyone, I'm thinking of taking a subscription to Ancestry, or something similar,for a short time to make a concerted effort with some brick walls. I'd appreciate any opinions as to which are most beneficial.

My biggest hurdle is finding any information about my Great Grandfather, known to us as Curly ELLISON, correct name probably William Henry ELLISON... but this may or may not have been his actual name. I have found no birth marriage or death registrations as yet. I don't know if he ever legally married, I know he did not legally marry the mother of my Grandfather. I do know that he was gaoled in NSW numerous times between 1885 & 1914, I have those records, though interesting they haven't helped a lot as the age & place of birth varies between birth 1855-1865 in NSW, Victoria & unknown. He also used many alias surnames, most commonly Herbert, Peters, Smith & Barnett. I have all the related family descendants certificates none give any details of his parentage or place of birth. In 1887 his age is stated as 25, that's the only cert that gives an age, & he was living at Glebe. He would have died after 1932, but I have no idea how long after or where. His stated occupations were also varied... hairdresser, barber, boilermaker, labourer. I haven't explored electoral rolls as yet... one of the reasons I'm considering a subscription. Again, thanks for the offer of look ups, Regards, Vicki No virus found in this outgoing message Checked by PC Tools AntiVirus (6.0.0.19 - 10.004.098). http://www.pctools.com/free-antivirus/
