Hello everyone My name is Jan and I live in Brisbane.. I have joined this list hoping to find my George STAPLETON..who disappeared from Queensland about 1903 George had CRAMPTON relatives in Western Australia and as I cant find a death for him in NSW or Qld... I thought he may have gone over to WA .. to his Mothers family. George W. STAPLETON was born in England in 1866 Son of Mary Ann CRAMPTON and Enoch Edward STAPLETON.. he came to Australia in 1882 with his Brothers Benjamin & Enoch ... Sister Sarah... His Mother and Step Father... Mary Ann & Harry SMITH and half sister Mary Ann SMITH.. George and Sarah being the eldest travelled as STAPLETON's Ben & Enoch as STAPLETON-SMITH. Early 1903 he was living in Toowoomba with Brother Benjamin..(from the electoral roll). 1904 he is mentioned as still being alive on the Death certificate of his Mother Mary Ann SMITH...then nothing I cant find a marriage for him in Queensland and the only death for a George STAPLETON I can find has the Parents as George and Mary....this was in 1903....I thought perhaps the informant did not know George's Fathers name but This particular George fathered children here in Queensland in the 1850"s .. so not my man.... There is a George STAPLETON on the Nominal Roll for WW1 but I dont know how to find out more about him without purchasing his records... A Cousin said she came accross a marriage of a George W. STAPLETON in Western Australia in the early 1900's and the fact that there was a George W. STAPLETON as an administrator of a Hospital in WA......she discarded this information because at the time there was no link to Western Australia.....but now I find George's Mother's Relatives were living in WA... so its quite possible he went over ... If anyone is researching this Family I would love to hear and share what I have on George's siblings.... If anyone has access to the Marriage Index for the early 1900's and can get me the details of the Marriage...and where I would send for the certificate......... that would be a start.... Any help finding George would be very much appreciated... TIA Jan also researching ARMOUR, BROWN,CRAMPTON,HENDRY,LANGFORD/DANDFORD,LEES,MITCHELL,MUIR,NALDER,SMITH,STAPLETON, STEPHENSON.WATT to name a few.
