    1. Re: [AUS-WA] BMD certificates
    2. Roger Kelly
    3. Dear Linda, Thanks for the suggestion. I suppose I should have given their names: John YOUNG 1849 - 1938 and his wife Mary (KEAN) 1857 - 1953 arrived on separate ships, each with some of their family: Roon (vessel name), Antwerp to Fremantle, 19 June 1911: Mr William Young (coachman) Mrs Mary Young Miss Burnett Young (domestic) Miss Edith Young (domestic) Master James Young (under 18) Miss Kate Young (under 18) (all noted as Scottish, all 3rd-class passengers) Cassel (vessel name), Antwerp to Fremantle, 21 November 1911: Mr John Young (62 yrs, merchant) Miss Jessie Young (20 yrs) Miss Gertrude Young (17 yrs) (all noted as Scottish, all 3rd-class passengers) Their eldest daughter, Christina Clapperton YOUNG was already married in Scotland to Thomas BURT.(1910) They also lived out their lives in Perth WA but we can't find their arrival. We are interested to know what they did when they arrived, where they settled etc. John YOUNG had owned a fruit shop in Edinburgh before he left, but before that he was an oil works manager and had lived in France where Christina was born in about 1881. Most are buried in Karrakatta cemetery. They were generally very longlived so we know they found Australia congenial. A kind lister has sent us a photo of John and Mary's last house in Caledonian Avenue. Is that Maylands? and she also sent us the passenger lists. We even know who some of the children married. We don't know whether Tom and Christina BURTs children were born in Scotland or Australia. Christina died in 1927 so they must have arrived before then. Also why would they have gone from Antwerp? Was that typical? We are now in contact with descendants thanks to this list.

    1. [AUS-WA] SO TRUE

    3. The Genealogist's 23rd Psalm Genealogy is my Pastime ... I shall not stray, It maketh me to lie down and examine half-buried Tombstones; It leadeth me into still Courthouses. It restoreth my Ancestral Knowledge; It leadeth me into the Paths of Census Records and Ships Passenger Lists for my Surnames' sake; Yeah, though I wade through the Shadows of Research Libraries and Microfilm Readers, I shall fear no Discouragment, for a Strong Urge is with me. The curiosity and motivation, they Comfort me; It demandeth preparation of Storage Space for the Aquisition of Countless Documents; It anointeth my Head with burning Midnight Oil, My Family Group Sheets runneth over. Surely Birth,Marriage and Death dates shall follow me all the Days of my Life, And I shall dwell in the House of a Family History Seeker Forever. ~ Unknown ~
