Listers does anyone have any links to the JAMES family around Wollongong? We know of John Robert JAMES and his wife Ann Mary Josephine JAMES nee MOONEY who married in NZ but settled at Balgownie in the 1870s. Children include1. John Robert JAMES b 1870 NZ 2. James William Henry JAMES b 1871 NZ 3. Edward Alexander JAMES b 1873 Waterloo Sydney 4. Amy Alma JAMES b 1876 mar 1 John Brodie 2 John NASH 5. Albert Ernest JAMES b 1879 Sydney (settled BC Canada) 6. Ethel MAud JAMES b 1881 Balgownie (mar W J ANDERSON) 7. Charlotte May JAMES b 1882 (Mar James WATTERS) 8. Thomas George JAMES b 1886 Wollongong 9. Charles Alfred JAMES b 1888 Wollongong 10 Louisa Ann JAMES 1878 Redfern, mar R J Clark We suspect that other members of the JAMES family also travelled from Kent to NZ to try their hand at gold mining and may have also crossed the ditch to the Illawarra. Any possible links to the JAMES family welcomed. David Central Coast NSW

Hi Vicki, I don't know the parent's names, they are not mentioned on the marriage certificate. Apparently Sarah was a spinster and a surveyor's daughter. No ages given, so no guesstimate of birth year. Thanks for your input. Cheers, Warren

Hi Vicki, I'm thinking that I may have to get the 1942 registration although I can't get the parent's names to fit, and Sarah would have to have been 90-100 years old. It seems as though Edward and Sarah must have split up, as they are living in different places as indicated by the 1903 Electoral Roll (thanks to Jenny Chester). Regards, Warren

Alexander Spence Artis acquired allotments 13 & 14 from Isabella Bridget Vereker in the 1890s and sold block 565 to A, Ballentine on 10th June, 1895. A.

Hi Listers, The above couple were married in Shoalhaven in 1871. I am tyring to determine what happened to Sarah, as she does not seem to have had any children with Edward and I can't find a death registration for her. Edward died in Parramatta in 1915. Kind regards, Warren Diggins

Thanks Neville, I have the BDM's on all of these and am looking for any family connections.
