Have received the following message from a researcher. Is anyone connected to these names ................................... I really only have three names associated with South Australia (that I know of anyway) and they are WRIGHT, EAT/EATS (and all it's various spellings) and BIRCH. I have a reasonable amount of info on the EATS (thanks to some very helpful people), but my brick walls are the WRIGHT's and the BIRCH's. My grand father Frederick Ongee PEARCE left Newcastle, NSW and traveled to South Australia where, using the surname NORTON, he married Emma Alice Adelaide WRIGHT in 1892. They had a couple of kids who were registered as NORTON, then Frederick brought his family back to NSW where they reverted to the name PEARCE and had more children that were registered as PEARCE. It's Emma's family that I have a problem with. This is what I know about them. Isaac WRIGHT b. c.1823 married Eliza EATTS b. c. 18830 in Cambridgeshire, England They married in March 1847 in South Australia and had 8 children that I know of. One of the children was Henry WRIGHT b. Dec 1849 who married Ann BIRCH b. c.1849. They married in June 1870. >From their marriage certificate, I know that Ann was from Dairy Flat and her father was David. Henry was from Yankalilla. Witnesses on the certificate are John? EAT, a tanner from Yankalilla and Betsey BIRCH from Dairy Flat. I'm guessing betsey may have been Ann's sister and John possibly a cousin of Henry. That has been the extent of my knowledge of either family (I do have siblings for Henry) for some time. A few days ago, I found the SA BDM index online and made a few small discoveries. An Eleanore BIRCH (wife? of David) died in Yankalilla in 1879 Betsey BIRCH married George STEVENS in Yankalilla in 1883 David BIRCH (aged 65) died 1884 in Yankalilla - relative(I think son) John BIRCH Apart from this, I know nothing of the BIRCH's and WRIGHTS. Mainly what I am trying to find out is when and where Isaac WRIGHT was born and when and where David and Ann BIRCH were born and was Eleanore Ann's mother. Ros
