Hi All, I am looking for Eliza Winstanley. I do know from her marriage certificate: She was born abt 1872 in Rushworth to Henry Winstanley and Annie Allen, but I cannot find any record of her birth. There is one possibility in 1872 but the christian name is Susan and the mother's name is Catherine Sheild's????? She married George Henry Plowman in 1886 at the age of 14 years, and they had a child in 1889 named Ellen. She then divorced George in 1894. The lived in Camperdown and their daughter was born in Carlton. I have been unable to find any sign of Eliza or her daughter Ellen after the divorce???? The rest of her family are accounted for, her father is buried in Penshurst, and her mother and siblings died in Geelong or Melbourne suburbs. This would lead me to believe she would most probably have stayed in Victoria. Any help or guidence as where to look next would be greatly appreciated. A location/registration of her birth, death and/or next marriage would be absolutley awesome. Kind Regards, Nicole

Nicole, Certificate information is not always the gospel truth. There are these Eliza WINSTANLEY, born BURN 1865 (21767) & died 1866 Dunolly (1228), aged 1 month, daughter of Henry WINSTANLEY & Annie ALLAN. Eliza Alice Florence WINSTANLEY, born Maryborough 1869 (3404), daughter of Henry WINSTANLEY & Annie ALLEN.

Hi Jules, Yes I do have them, they are 2 sisters of my Eliza Winstanley. I have the a photo of the original marriage from the church and have downloaded the image also from the Vic BDM and am pretty certain of her age and parentage. Her father (Henry) has signed and witnessed the original as she was only 14 years when she married. Her mother though had passed away the year before her marriage in Geelong. Her siblings were born in Dunnolly, and Eliza in Rushworth, I would say on the gold fields maybe. Thankyou for taking the time to look. Kind Regards, Nicole

Oh, and the second Eliza born in 1869 passed away in 1870 under the name Florence. Cheers, Nicole

Hi Nicole Is Beryl Jean WINSTANLEY in your tree? She married Arthur BATESON in 1937. Just a twig on my tree.
