Interested to know if any listers know anything of the... "Main Lead Sabbath School" of Raglan, near Beaufort in the 1800s Daryl Povey

The Parish Clerk recently advised that she was going on holidays. Could her mailbox be full perhaps?

Dear Listers No not me! But, I would like to know how to find out about divorce records c. 1850's on. I've just discovered some weird anomalies with a couple of families in Adelaide and have realized that they must have divorced and with one couple marrying again many years later. I'm not sure how to go about this, so any advice would be great. Also, I seem to have suddenly developed an odd technical issue. I have used the OPC Online Parish Clerks of Cornwall website for some time now. Recently any emails sent to parish clerks have bounced back. I got through to the webmaster, although my email ended up in her junkbox. Now she seems to be bouncing as well. This is tending to stymie some current searches, so any advice much appreciated. Many Thanks, Rowena

Thanks Robert, I have both death certificates. No further info sadly. I do know Alexander was born in Sweden. I have other certificates for children of this couple and marriage date varies each time. Alexander's arrival details came from his Naturalisation Papers from National Archives. I couldn't find a passenger list. I'm thinking if Sarah recorded his name as Arthur when she registered William's birth she may not have had an eye for detail. Although Alexander was born in Sweden family stories say his father was English and was working in Sweden. So with no parents names and no further leads I was hoping the Marriage Cert could hold a clue.

Hi, I had a look for any marriages - and couldn't find any - but did note that the indexes record the father as Arthur for the birth of William Edward. I couldn't locate a passenger list for the New World for 1855 - it appears only once on the Victorian unassisted passenger indexes for the period in question - arrival in December 1854 - and no person with the name Re*d - did he arrive via another state I wonder? Anyhow - moving along - this looks like the couple: - Sarah REID father David Shaw, mother Harriet Unknown, died in 1895, Costerfieod victoria, apparently aged 65 years index: 1315. - Alexander REID died aged 70 years at Costerfield in 1890 index:6757 parents details - Unknown. What is worrying about these index entries - I'm surprised that there is so little detail for Alexander - Sarah was alive? and able? to supply correct information? And Sarah's index entry lacks some information but there is a chance that one of her children may have supplied some good inforamtion? To sort out a few things I would buy the death certificate for Alexander - hopefully the index info is no real guide - a good certificate will indicate when Alexander arrived in Australia and when/were he married. It may well be that Alexander and Sarah were married overseas? good luck Robert in chilly Melbourne Petal & Clea Smith wrote: > Hello, > > New to this list Researching ALEXANDER REED who married SARAH SHAW > 185? at Beechworth. > > First child WILLIAM EDWARD REED born 6th SEPT 1857 at WOOLSHED > > Alexander arrived in Victoria 1855 on the New World, from the > California Goldfields. > > Cannot seem to find Alexander and Sarah's marriage.

Hello, New to this list Researching ALEXANDER REED who married SARAH SHAW 185? at Beechworth. First child WILLIAM EDWARD REED born 6th SEPT 1857 at WOOLSHED Alexander arrived in Victoria 1855 on the New World, from the California Goldfields. Cannot seem to find Alexander and Sarah's marriage. Any help appreciated. He moved to Costerfield and worked in the Mine there. Marianne

I'm looking for an elusive ancestor - John SIMMERS. B 1829, Tarves, Aberdeen Arrived in Melbourne, Dec 1856 on the Royal Charter Last 'sighted' as witness to the wedding of his brother Robert SIMMERS in Melbourne Feb 1857. Where has he gone? Back to Scotland as did his sister Margaret? To NZ(Otago) as did brother James? Or into NSW (Tumut) as did brother James? One family story says he fell down a mine and was killed. I have checked Death indexes in Scotland, Vic, NSW & WA but have not found him. All help gratefully appreciated Catherine Auckland, NZ

Good Evening Listers, After our message re our James OSEEN, we received a message from Helen suggesting we join a Chinese site: http://siyigenealogy.proboards28.com/index.cgi - the response has been amazing...from people who no connection to our family, rather a shared heritage.

G'day Robert, Thanks for your response. Regrettably I know more about the Glen Huntley than I do about the people I'm looking for having lived in that suburb a great many years ago. Yes I have already accessed the online list at the PROV and no I'm not looking for WARD family members. I have been reticent in detailing my request on the list as this is not really a goldfields thing so I guess I'm off topic. However, I am looking for details concerning 1. Robert JOHNSTONE, 18 years, labourer from Edinburgh who could read and write and a bounty of £18. He arrived in Port Philip on the Theresa in July 1840. His details are recorded in Book 2 page 175 2. Eliza JENNINGS, 16 years, nursery maid from Cavan, Protestant who could read and bounty was also £18. She arrived on the same ship. Her details are recorded in Book 2 page 175. The PROV website indicates that there was a “disposal list” which listed details of what happened to the assisted immigrants after arrival. It is the information on that “disposal list” that I am seeking Regards, Chris -----Original Message----- From: robert.j [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, 23 July 2008 8:24 AM To: Chris Ward Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: Ballaarat Look up Hi all, It seems pretty clear to me that Chris doesn't need to be told to access the online indexes - afterall Chris has stated that the people were assisted passengers arriving in 1840 - tells me that Chris knows their names and the name of the boat that brought them to Australia - Chris is after any other useful information that may be on the passenger lists - perhaps the couple had sponsors - maybe Chris wants to know whether they could read or write or possibly where they came from and where they were going to? - all good stuff often contained in the passenger lists. I checked the actual passenger list for my grt.grt.grandmother - I didn't really need to know any more information that I may obtain from any passenger list - I knew her parents, when and where she was born - I knew she was a single woman arriving in Victoria in the 1850s - I knew she could write - her marriage certificate and other documents proved that - what I didn't know - and the indexes would never have told me this - she arrived in Victoria in the company of her brother-in-law and married sister, and the group had accomodation organised in Ballarat - wonderful little pieces of information that add to my grt.grt.grandmother's story. Perhaps Chris WARD is researching the two Ward people that arrived in Victoria aboard the "fever" migrant ship Glen Huntly in April 1840? WARD MARY ANNE 18 APR 1840 GLEN HUNTLY 1 XII WARD MOSES 20 APR 1840 GLEN HUNTLY 1 XII the young couple had one child - a Morgan WARD in 1841 and then seem to stop having children ?? And if Chris was researching this couple who survived the "fever" and quarantine then the passenger list may be quite fascinating?? The Melbourne suburb GlenHuntly derives its name from the ship: from this site: http://www.glenhuntlyps.vic.edu.au/about.htm History On 1st December 1839, the barque "Glen Huntly" sailed from Scotland under the command of Captain Buchanan with over 150 emigrants aboard. Over four months later, on the 17th April 1840, the Glen Huntly arrived at its destination, Hobson's Bay off 'William's Town'. Upon arrival it was learnt that passengers had died from typhus during the voyage, thus it was declared a 'fever ship' and was ordered to cross the bay and anchor off the Bluff - Point Ormond. Two quarantine camps were established. During the quarantine period, supplies for the passengers and the crew were taken along a track, which is now called Glen Huntly Road.

Hi all, It seems pretty clear to me that Chris doesn't need to be told to access the online indexes - afterall Chris has stated that the people were assisted passengers arriving in 1840 - tells me that Chris knows their names and the name of the boat that brought them to Australia - Chris is after any other useful information that may be on the passenger lists - perhaps the couple had sponsors - maybe Chris wants to know whether they could read or write or possibly where they came from and where they were going to? - all good stuff often contained in the passenger lists. I checked the actual passenger list for my grt.grt.grandmother - I didn't really need to know any more information that I may obtain from any passenger list - I knew her parents, when and where she was born - I knew she was a single woman arriving in Victoria in the 1850s - I knew she could write - her marriage certificate and other documents proved that - what I didn't know - and the indexes would never have told me this - she arrived in Victoria in the company of her brother-in-law and married sister, and the group had accomodation organised in Ballarat - wonderful little pieces of information that add to my grt.grt.grandmother's story. Perhaps Chris WARD is researching the two Ward people that arrived in Victoria aboard the "fever" migrant ship Glen Huntly in April 1840? WARD MARY ANNE 18 APR 1840 GLEN HUNTLY 1 XII WARD MOSES 20 APR 1840 GLEN HUNTLY 1 XII the young couple had one child - a Morgan WARD in 1841 and then seem to stop having children ?? And if Chris was researching this couple who survived the "fever" and quarantine then the passenger list may be quite fascinating?? The Melbourne suburb GlenHuntly derives its name from the ship: from this site: http://www.glenhuntlyps.vic.edu.au/about.htm History On 1st December 1839, the barque "Glen Huntly" sailed from Scotland under the command of Captain Buchanan with over 150 emigrants aboard. Over four months later, on the 17th April 1840, the Glen Huntly arrived at its destination, Hobson's Bay off 'William's Town'. Upon arrival it was learnt that passengers had died from typhus during the voyage, thus it was declared a 'fever ship' and was ordered to cross the bay and anchor off the Bluff - Point Ormond. Two quarantine camps were established. During the quarantine period, supplies for the passengers and the crew were taken along a track, which is now called Glen Huntly Road. The settlement, which slowly developed, was called Glen Huntly and the expansion of the suburb really took place after 1907. Glen Huntly Primary School, of three classrooms, was established on the Garden Avenue site on the 14th March 1914. In August 1921, the school building on the East Side of Grange Road was completed.

All the records into victoria are on line at Prov. You need to remember however that if the ship called into another state on the way the records will be there and not in Victoria even if the person actually got off in vic. If you have an idea of the date you can check the newspaper of the times. carmel
