Dear Jenny, Tony made a suggestion, however what I have found is that many technicians are totally unaware of the family history programmes operation and throw their hands up in the air. I bought a new laptop recently myself, but I took Vista off and installed XP. Even then, the man working on my computer, a technician of many years experience had in the past had absolutely nothing to do with family history programmes. With the programmes I have for family history and my association with the Ryerson Index he offered the comment that my computer contains more information than many small businesses. Hope you get the problem sorted.

Hi again. Once more, jumping onto the shirt-tail of this message. If anyone should ever have a WATERS or WATTERS family which they are able to trace back to the Stirlingshire area of Scotland, where mine came from; I'd be very interested to hear from them. regards: ray ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Coggins" <[email protected]> > In 2004 Graeme O'Reilly posted a message on this message board re the > Waters family, descendants of Ezekiel Waters of Yarramalong.

In 2004 Graeme O'Reilly posted a message on this message board re the Waters family, descendants of Ezekiel Waters of Yarramalong. Are you still out there Graeme? David

Hello Liz & Janice. Just jumping onto the bandwaggon here with my own PLUNKETT ancestor; who is a major brick wall in herself. Mine is Catherine PLUNKETT who later is supposed to have married Thomas Leach DAY; however we have never encountered any marriage record for them, neither in London where he originated, nor in New Zealand where it seems that they might have met, nor in oz where it was thought that they might have to gone to NZ from. We first encounter them in Auckland, New Zealand, between 1843 and 1850 when and where their first 5 eldest children were born; the baptisms for whom give their mother's maiden surname as PLUNKET or PLUNKETT. In case the names of their children might be significant, they are: Helen or Ellen Selina DAY, born 1843. A son Thomas Leach DAY born 1844; evidently named exactly after his father. A daughter Ann DAY born 1846 -- probably named for his own mother: Ann LEWIS in London. My ancestress: Charlotte DAY born 1848 (she was later to marry in 1865 to firstly John Edward HAWKINS of West Maitland; and following his death in 1891, in 1893 she married Joseph LEONARD at West Maitland; where she later died and is buried.) Elizabeth DAY born in 1850 Later daughters born in oz were: Catherine Anne DAY in 1853 -- presumably named for her mother and his mother; and Mary Patience DAY in 1855. So from all of these female names we have: Helen/Ellen Selina, Charlotte, Elizabeth, and Mary Patience; all as possible forenames for the MOTHER of Catherine PLUNKETT. I am hopeful that one of you with oz PLUNKETTs in your family might find something recognisable in all of this. (fingers crossed, but pessimistic just the same. LOL). Just to continue their stories, giving their Hunter Valley connections, here it is: Between 1850 and 1853 they left New Zealand and came to Oz; with the husband/father seemingly chasing the newly-discovered gold as he was later noted as being at Tambaroora (Hill End). In 1863 Thomas Leach DAY re-married at West Maitland to a widow: Bridget TAYLOR (nee McCORMACK); asserting that Catherine had died on 15th November 1856. However, we have never been able to find any records of this supposed death of Catherine DAY (nee PLUNKETT); and from several other things, we believe that the word of our ancestor T.L.DAY should not be taken at face value. Accordingly, with neither marriage certificate, nor death certificate for Catherine DAY nee PLUNKETT, we are at a brick wall in trying to trace her back any further than this.

Hi Dianna, Sorry abou the mix up, I typed Eliza Brindle (nee Smith), when I meant to type Cecilia Brindle (nee Smith), I had all the names flashing around in my head. So we know that Cecelia Bertha Brindle (nee Smith's) parents are Charles and Eliza Smith and she is buried at Rookwood with Eliza Smith (Green nee Greer). We know that your great grandmother Eliza Greer born Tasmania, married first John Green in 1875. How many children did Eliza have with John Green? Do you know when John Green died? She married Charles Smith in 1891 in Orange NSW. Anyway, I think I may have sorted out Cecilia's parents. Though copies of the certificates I mention below can solve the problem. Here parents maybe Charles and Eliza SMITH (Green nee Greer) and Cecilia is buried with her mother Eliza at Rookwood. Cecilia's birth circa 1882 is missing off the NSW BDM, which can happen sometimes. If she is their daughter then she was born before Charles and Eliza were married. Maybe, Eliza Green (nee Greer) separated from John Green, and Charles could not marry Eliza until either she was divorced from John Green or he died. I believe you will have all the answers to these questions if you apply for a copy of Cecilia Bertha Brindle's death certificate or her marriage certificate. Full details about her parents should be included on the certificate. Or the death certificate of you great grandmother Eliza Smith should list her children, though Cecilia most likely may not be named and be included as "female not living". Hope this helps.

Hi Janice Charles Smith's parents are Elizabeth and George. He died in 1920. I'm not sure who Eliza Brindle is. It's Cecelia Brindle nee Smith who married Herbert Brindle. Dianna

Hi Dianna, Just a guess, but I think you may find that Charles Smith, who married your great grandmother Eliza Greer in Orange, is the brother of Eliza Brindle (nee Smith), this is going by Eliza Brindle (nee Smith's) parents on the NSW BDM Website as Charles and Eliza. Do you have the year of Charles Smith's death? If so, are his parents given as Charles and Eliza?

Thank you for all the enquiries in regard to my CD enquiry you have given me some advice which I will try to see if I can get them loaded. I will try tonight after work fingers crossed. Jenny from Townsville

Hi Janice Thanks for your email. My Eliza Smith's maiden name is GREER, born in Hobart 1858 to James Greer and Mary Britcliffe. Eliza married Charles Smith in Orange in 1891 (firstly married to John Green in 1875 in Forbes). Yes I would like the information on Herbert please I hope there is a connection. There must be some reason Cecelia and Eliza are buried together at Rookwood. Kind regards Dianna

Dear Janice I'm descended from a Margaret Plunkett (1833 - 1933), and some of her descendants were also living in the Muswellbrook area from the early 1900's. It's a different family to yours though, and comes complete with an impenetrable brick wall, with its components going back to Newry, Armagh. My reason for replying though is that unfortunately every family with a Plunkett forebear, passes on the story that they're descended from St Oliver! However he didn't have any known descendants, but was a Roman Catholic bishop. Some of the older members of my family were convinced they were descended from him, and didn't like being told it was most unlikely..... otherwise their ancestor would have been illegitimate, and they didn't like that either! However a lot of Plunkett families named male children Oliver (after St Oliver's martyrdom), so today many Plunkett descendants are bound to be descended from a Mr Oliver Plunkett but just not St Oliver Plunkett. Sorry to pour cold water on your enthusiasm, and best of luck with finding out more about your Mary (nee Plunkett).
