Hi Pat. I can probably have a bit of a walk around tomorrow, as I've got to drop into Kew Cemetery and it's kind of on the way. Had a quick look in Google StreetView and there are some likely looking houses on the south side, opposite to the side St Mark's is on. You never know, an old house sign might be still there somewhere. regards, Martin On Sunday, February 23, 2014 12:46:08 PM UTC+11, Pat Wade wrote: > Thank you to all who have given me suggestions, > > advice etc. > > > > It is quite possible the house has been pulled > > down but I have some ideas to follow up and at the > > very least when time permits I will make the trip > > to get an idea of the area at least. > > > > Thank you > > Pat

Hello there, I have just read your question regarding Anna Hardy. If you are still interested, "Auntie Cook" as we called her, was my great aunt. Her brother, Carlisle Boyd Holdenson, was my grandfather. If my memory serves, she sent me a postcard from that ship and was, in fact, buried at sea. She was a very beautiful lady- refined, elegant and had a very engaging personality. As she lived in Sydney and we were in Melbourne, we saw her infrequently but we loved her. Please do not hesitate to contact me for further information. Kind regards, Jenny Holdenson

Dear Pat, Sorry I can't pop over to East Camberwell as it would take about 10 or 12 hours driving. However........ I found the advert of the said auction in a Trove archive: http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/90368711 Perhaps the rest of your long-shot might might be shortened if you were to contact the auctioneer / estate agent which was then known as "Coghill & Haughton" and is now called "Haughton-Stotts" at Ivanhoe or Preston. It seems someone on their team likes to record a little of their company history. http://www.haus.com.au/haughton-stotts-history.html ........In the early 1900s, Edward Haughton had also established a real estate business in central Melbourne. With an office in the heart of the Central Business District at 79 Swanston Street, Haughton´s business operated throughout the growing inner metropolitan area. By the 1920s, Coghill & Haughton real estate business also had offices operating out of Heidelberg and Canterbury...... Auctioneers and Estate agents haven't changed their spots. Even 100 years ago they still used very emotive words in advertisements Perhaps Chris Dz, (e-mail) managing director, or his son Stefan Dz might help: http://rev.listonce.com.au/cgi-bin/staffresults.pl?GID=799 Since you have a house name but no street number, my I suggest you contact the Camberwell Library via: http://www.boroondara.vic.gov.au/libraries/contact/ask and ask if they can cross reference the house name with a later street number. Alternatively, the former "city of Camberwell" or the modern Boroondara council may have compiled a register of heritage listed /national estate register as is the case with some councils in Sydney. e.g. Both Hornsby and Marrickville council has one for most of the houses in the suburbs for which it's responsible. It's highly likely that there is a full time local history librarian located at one or all of the Boroondara City libraries.

Hi, Now I am pushing my luck :-) Does anyone live very close to Canterbury Rd, Camberwell just before Burke Rd? If so the next time you are walking would you be able to check if there is a house with the name "Hazelton". My Grandparents sold this in 1912 - sale add says - "TWO-STORIED BRICK VILLA, Containing 6 large and lofty rooms, with panelled ceilings, and large open balcony dormer, 25 ft. x 12 ft., pantry and bathroom, with every convenience. On the Allotment, 50 x 135 ft., is well-kept garden, ,also a few fruit trees, and STABLE and BUGGY SHED". If there is a chance of it still being their I will then make arrangements to get across to get a photo. Thank you Pat

I have just discovered it is Kimberley in South Africa not South Austrlaia. regards Marg OLeary Port Stephens NSW

Hi Pat, Have you thought of using Street View in Google Earth/Google Maps to pinpoint the house to use as a starting point. Was there a street address?

Hi, I am a descendent of Robert PELLING and Margaret Anna GIBSON and would love contact with any other descendants of this couple. Robert & Margaret were married in Plymouth Devon and he was with the 32nd Regiment later the 32nd Light infantry. They arrived in Australia after he retired from the Army in 1877. They lived in South Yarra, Melbourne, Victoria. Regards Pat.

Hi Beth. Not S.A. shipping, as you have asked about, but seeing as Sixtus may be an uncommon surname, some mentions of it in Victorian shipping lists. See the passenger list links via the PROV's online catalogue: http://prov.vic.gov.au/provguide-23 Index to Unassisted Inwards to Victoria One family of Sixtuses (Sixtii?) arriving 1874, possibly from New Zealand (ship name Otago). Index to Outward Passengers to Interstate, UK and Foreign Ports Six people named SIXTUS, across 3 voyages, incl. one in 1852 from Victoria to Adelaide. Not what you were looking for but perhaps of some interest. Hopefully someone will help you with S.A. passenger lists. regards, Martin Elliget Greensborough, Victoria On Thursday, February 20, 2014 1:28:17 PM UTC+11, Beth Wagstaff wrote: > Hello - I have German relatives who arrived in Adelaide after a quick skip into NZ in 1844 with the surname SIXTUS and LANGE.    >   > The 2 LANGE girls married into the DOHSE and OEHM families.  >   > The 5 SIXTUS boys lived around Concordia, S.A., before returning to NZ sometime between 1853 and 1856. >   > Is there SKS who can answer this question for me please . . . ?  Ta.    I have trawled through the online newspapers of the day looking for passenger lists for vessels leaving Adelaide for NZ that may contain folk of the SIXTUS name, without any success.    The surname has sometimes been spelt SEXTUS and even SIXTERS.    Would anyone have come across SIXTUS ( or variants ) in any S.A. departing shipping over the year period ( 1853 to 1856 ) at all? >   > If anyone has information on these surnames, I would love to hear from you, as I really have nothing at all about the 12 years or so that these folk spent in Australia. >   > Thanks. >   > Beth > Akld 

. The colonial government frequently changed the documentation requirements to meet current demand. C1820-30, English emigration agents required a character reference usually from a local church. These images are available from NSW state records. At the Port Jackson end, ships placed newspaper ads giving the number and trade of immigrants , but not their names. Disposals resembled English labour fairs- i.e. no records. In later years, colonial settlers sponsored immigrants with the desired skills so there are no records of individual names. It might be worth taking back-bearings on known descendants. There are library books which give more detail of the Bounty scheme.

Hello - I have German relatives who arrived in Adelaide after a quick skip into NZ in 1844 with the surname SIXTUS and LANGE.      The 2 LANGE girls married into the DOHSE and OEHM families.    The 5 SIXTUS boys lived around Concordia, S.A., before returning to NZ sometime between 1853 and 1856.   Is there SKS who can answer this question for me please . . . ?  Ta.    I have trawled through the online newspapers of the day looking for passenger lists for vessels leaving Adelaide for NZ that may contain folk of the SIXTUS name, without any success.    The surname has sometimes been spelt SEXTUS and even SIXTERS.    Would anyone have come across SIXTUS ( or variants ) in any S.A. departing shipping over the year period ( 1853 to 1856 ) at all?   If anyone has information on these surnames, I would love to hear from you, as I really have nothing at all about the 12 years or so that these folk spent in Australia.   Thanks.   Beth Akld

Stupid me left out the year(s) - the late 1950s was my target. Sorry about that, but thanks... Paul

I know there are folk here with old Sands and Macs directories of Melbourne, so I wonder if someone can help. In Glenhuntly Road, Glenhuntly, on the northern side and east of the railway line was a greengrocer. It would have been maybe 3 shops east of Station Street (now Place). a few more doors along was Clarke's, Butchers and then Jack Martins, mens outfitter. The greengrocer was of Italian descent, and it is his name I'm searching for. Any help would be much appreciated. Paul Blair

Hi, Am wondering if the detail is avail in Australia or UK (or online). The information provided by the intended settler, included I believe, recommendation, capital, work history, number of people coming, professions. Anything I suspect, that made you seem worthy. Cheers, J

Hi all, I am after some help with the above man, and his ship. He was Commander of the 'General Boyd" Said to be an American Whaler I have found very little on the General Boyd, It seems rather confusing as to if the General Boyd and the Boyd destroyed in New Zealand are one and the same, I have found mention that the General Boyd was one of the first American Whalers to visit Bay of Islands in New Zealand, visiting in around 1802. I Would love to clarify the information on the General Boyd. My other interest is in Commander George Hales who was brought ashore dead at Norfolk Island, is he American or English, where had he been or come from, where and when did he join the ship. His headstone is the oldest extant example of Freemasonry in Australia, from the book "Freemasonry in Australia" George Hales had been declared a Free-Mason on 24 December 1789 in the Dundee Arms Lodge No. 9, which met in Wapping, London Sorry if anyone has found double postings, I have tried other lists to no Avail, Any help with this would be most appreciated TIA cheers Liz Norfolk Island
