Darlene, Re Markey family. I am interested in an Australian born Markey. He was James Owen Markey born 1866 at Kyneton, (central goldfields Victoria), and died 1930 East Melbourne. He was a son of Patrick Markey and Carolan Catherine. James was a prospector whose mining work I have been following but so far I have not located his descendants and am about to check his probate file for any lead. He had brothers Patrick John and Joseph and sisters Elizabeth and Catherine Alice. I would not know if his father had arrived from US. Damien Hynes As a PS I am in the throes of compiling a list of known arrivals from the Californian goldfields and would ask you if it is possible to have this list of maybe 30 names checked over against surviving records in California/US. Maybe census or other available records to bring more of the chase by these individuals into perspective. Remember the rushes here began in 1851 with the first arrivals in 1852 from the west coast and my work is into the earlier 1850's so there may not be much to help in view of this short time span. One sometimes suspects that the odd fellow may have clear out from family and that not all were single men as is commonly supposed. This approach could widen any searching. -----Original Message----- From: Darlene M Parissi [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, August 27, 2000 4:02 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [CAYUBA] Spence Quite a few of the Cemeteries in Yuba and Sutter Co. are online. Some are searchable and some will do lookups. http://www.rootsweb.com/~cayuba/cemetery/ or http://www.rootsweb.com/~casutter/cemetery/ Just a note. Yuba and Sutter counties are so close together. I have several relatives that died in Marysville which is in Sutter Co. and they are buried in Yuba Co. in Yuba City and vice versa. Happy Hunting!
