When and where they married Also I am looking for addresses and names of people who lived in Warsaw (Poland), in 1939 and before, and whose family names were Gubernat, Pniewski and Pniewska.

QLD BDM Index has 14 births to James Doolan and Selina Ellis 1862-1886 That would give Selina a childbearing history of nearly thirty years, and there should be children born 1858-1862?. Selina and James are buried at Toowong Cemetery. Selina bur. 3 Apr 1902 James bur. 11 Apr 1904 There are no parents named for either Selina or James in BDM Index A birth record for one of these children (Victoria? and QLD would give place of birth for parents. Selina is very young at marriage so the marriage certificate would be useful to see. If there are relatives around, and assuming some responsibility for her, they might be witnesses.

Hi List, For the interest of descendants of JOHN & MARY KEATING, Tipperary, arrived 1850 on the ship Maitland, you might wish to add the following information to your family tree.

William has one living Sister, Irene aged 89yrs - 4th generation of John and Mary Keating. Many thanks Colleen Wells NSW
