Hi I was hoping someone may be able to look up an inquest for me please? I don't know if NSW has a CD like the Melbourne index but my grand uncle Oliver James Marteene died on the 1st November 1943 at Royal Price Alfred Hospital at Camperdown NSW and his death certificate states that there was an inquest. Appreciate any help Sue Melbourne

Hi everyone, Hoping to find a connection in the Ramornie / Grafton / Hunter Valley areas for Thomas and Frances Smith nee Valentine. Thomas and Frances Smith arrived in Sydney on the "Jerusalem" 15 April 1875. They married in Aberdeen SCT 1854 and had the following children; Thomas and James 1856, Margory 1861 George 1863 William 1865 John 1868 Ann 1871 Peter 1873. Margory married Joseph David Miller 1880 at Ramornie. Joseph was a Tinsmith at the Ramornie Meatworks. Any help with this family would be much appreciated. Best Wishes Sherene Tregellas

Hello I am looking for any information on Eliza Harmer. She married Vincent Francisco Romero in Albury in 1883. Eliza and Vincent are my GGGrandparents. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Karen

Thanks Jenelle for your wealth of experience and for pointing me in all these directions - I'm hoping to contact descendants as I have photographs from my grandmother's papers c 1900.

Hi Jan, Seeing how they were in Ballarat in 1859, it seems possible that they were chasing gold. The Comstock Lode of gold and silver was discovered in Nevada, US in 1859. Maybe they hightailed it over there. Have you checked the Ellis Island Immigration records? Also the 1860 US Census? There are no Census records kept at all for Australia, except for convict musters and some of the 1841 census. They may have gone up to Queensland. Have you checked immigration records for them leaving Victoria/Australia? http://mariners.records.nsw.gov.au/ is a good site.

Philipa, Have you tried www.records.nsw.gov.au, a google search, go to www.rootsweb.com, go into world connect pages and type in the name and country, also try www.ballaratgenealogy.org.au, follow links to NSW, also www.familysearch.org I would think the name Cowperthwaite is not that common of a name.

Hi Jan, Maybe a longshot but I have a Mary McMaster b1842 d 1907 daughter of John McMaster and Catherine McKinnon from Kilmallie, Argyl, Scotland. Mary came out on Utopia in 1854 and I have listed as married to Peter Mathieson who died in 1890. They had nine children. I have no further details of Mathieson but have contact with another researcher descended from Catherine McKinnon - perhaps also look up NSW bdm as I remember there were lots of Mathiesons there. My email [email protected] if I can be of more help. Good hunting, Lyndall, Townsville. Qld.

Hi Everyone, Does anyone have any connection with or thoughts about how I might find out more about Andrew and Mary (Mathieson) Alexander. They emigrated to Australia from Glasgow, Scotland, in about 1853. Andrew was a wright in Scotland and is listed as a carpenter on a birth certificate for one of their children, William Arnott, born in January 1859, in Ballarat, Victoria. In addition to four children who were born in Australia, the family also included several children who were born in Scotland. (I have located death certificates for the children who died before 1860.) Thus far, I have been unable to find any record of the family through the official Victoria source after 1860. I know at least one of their daughters, Mary Mathieson Alexander, remained in Australia because she married Matthew Thompson (my gggrandfather) in 1871. I would appreciate any thoughts anyone might have as to where I might now go to check. Also, is there a census available on line for 1860 and 1870. Thank you very much for your time. Regards, Jan Thompson-Kelley
