Hi Pam My great great grandmother was Lydia Piper, daughter of Jonathan Piper, but she married Edward Davis. I had a quick look on my database, there is another Lydia born 19 Oct 1873 to William Brisbane Piper (Jonathan's son). I don't have any marriage for her yet. She died 12 Sep 1957. There are a few Sarahs, but I don't have a Coulter. Then again I don't have all the marriages for the extended family yet. If you like I can go in to the database at lunchtime and get a list of the Sarahs that I have so far. regards leith davis ps: I guess we must be cousins of some kind anyway, even if we don't know yet what kind!! -----Original Message----- From: pam clarke [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, 6 November 2000 20:32 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Introduction to help solve ' brick walls' Hello one and all. I don't really remember when or how I got bitten by the "family history research bug" (fhrb) - I do know it is a couple of years now and some times it is very frustrating BUT when you get a lead which provides lots of lovely information, being bitten by the fhrb is not too bad at all. My brick wall is: Lydia (or Sarah) Piper. She is shown as the mother on my grandad's birth transcript. He was Samuel Henry Coulter, born Brisbane Water, NSW 22 April 1878. The birth transcript also states: Previous Issue: 1 male living; 1 male deceased - again I have not been able to find any records. I have not yet found a marriage for Lydia (Sarah) Piper and G/Grandad Charles Henry (aka Henry) Coulter nor have I found a death for her. G/Grandad Charles Henry (aka Henry) died in 1924 his wife is shown as: Maria Hicks. Children of Marriage are given as Edwin and Lily - living. Does anyone out there know my mystery lady ? or have any information on the above ? it be greatly would be appreciated. Happy researching Pam Clarke (nee Coulter) -----Original Message----- From: Marg Morters <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Sunday, November 05, 2000 10:08 PM Subject: Re: Introduction to help solve ' brick walls' ============================== Join the RootsWeb WorldConnect Project: Linking the world, one GEDCOM at a time. http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com
