I am looking for information on Edward Topliss married Anne Walsh in Back Creek in 1859. Edward Topliss b 1831 on Isle of Man, d 1899 aged 67 at St Andrews. Anne Walsh b abt 1833-1835 Kings County, Ireland, d Edward Topliss signed the Bendigo Miners Petition 1853, travelled to Port Adelaide on Pestonjee Bomanjee, 1851 - listed as TApliss. According to Birth Entry for Henry William Topliss (1872 - Carrapooe West) his parents Edward and Anne were living in Stuart Mill in 1872 and earlier. Edward is listed as a Sawyer at Stuart Mill. Anne was illiterate, so spelling of her name may vary. I haven't been able to find their Marriage Registry. Any links of information would be appreciated.

Hi list members, I'm looking for help in my family genealogy research. I have located my migrating ancestor from England (Richard John Whittle), and have his birth certificate (1842). I have him in the 1851 and 1861 censuses in England. In the latter his name was misspelled as Wittle. I have his marriage certificate in Christchurch, Ballerat(16/06/1869) to Anne Harvey, and the birth certificate of his first child in Duck Ponds Euroa 1872. He emigrated to New Zealand ~ 1873 (on the SS Tararua according to family oral history, but I can't confirm that ). I have tried looking on various convict lists but haven't found him. He was a 19 y.o. gamekeeper in 1861 so I'm guessing couldn't afford to pay for his passage. He was working on a large estate (Studlands > 40 employees and I wondered if his employer might have sponsored him?? What I would like help to find out: • When and how did he leave England . - did he go directly to Australia or via perhaps USA? and why?? • What did he do in Victoria? His occupation on his marriage certificate was 'Groom'. • Any other information that would "bring him to life" • Any information on his wife - marriage, birth(of child) and death certificates give 3 different places of birth and two different spellings of her surname! I have been unable to trace her at all. I would be grateful for any suggestions . Thanks Denis Whittle

Well Carole here is the birth, which I think you already have REGAN Margaret born Father: James Mother: Bridget CONSIDINE Birth Place: SANDHURST Year: 1857 Reg Number: 7676 Sandhurst is present day Bendigo. And then this REGAN Margaret Died Father: James Mother: Bridget Age: 18M Birth Place: BEN Year: 1856 Reg Number: 3055 Note it is the probably the same person - same birthplace. You will need to buy the death cert to find out where she died, and of what, etc. I note that the years go in the wrong order - that she died before she was born according to this. I cannot explain that except to say the event year is the year in which it was registered NOT the year in which it took place - though sometimes they are cross referenced. I checked for other possible deaths, births etc but nothing fitted apart from this combination. On the face of it I would suggest she was 18 months old when she died 1856 and that later they found they had not registered the birth - and did so, about three years late! However, all may be revealed if you buy the certificate(s).
