I wonder could any one on the list help me find one of my grandfathers daughter's Story is Thomas Jennings Fawkner arrived into Portland Maine 20 March 1863 aged 21 on Norwegian b 1841 Clovelly Devon Some two years later he married Annie McBride from Ireland? married in Portland They had two daughters" Lilly" Mary Elizabeth Fawkner b 1872 all records for her state b Boston 1872 as yet no birth found?? Then in 1875 Annie gave birth to another daughter Margaretta b 3 May 1875 in Portland Maine I have this birth from Family Search While in USA Thomas Fawkner became a deep sea diver before that a sea man By 1878 Lilly {Mary E] is back in Falmouth Cornwall with Thomas parents Matthew a Coast Guard and Elizabeth Jennings Fawkner Grand parents in FAlmouth died about two years later In next 5 years Lilly also arrives into Sydney Australia where her father Thomas had arrived 1879 after I presume going back to England with Lilly I have never been able to get a birth certificate for" Lilly" Mary Elizabeth b Boston But I cannot really put the other girl Margaretta to bed as I can find nothing on her after her birth date except with mother and sister entering entering Boston on ship "China" where Margaretta is listed as infant Where they had been I do not know Could have just come from Maine to Boston I have had a lot of help over the years from friend "The other Cheryl" on this list Cheryl found records in Boston that Annie gave birth to a still born son James in Boston 1877 I do not know if mother Annie also died then or what happened to Margaretta Fawkner On these records of the death of James a lot of children were dying at that time in Boston seemed like some thing was raging then So do not know if Margaretta died then or what happened to her The child James is buried on Lovelly's Island in Boston Harbour all I can think is perhaps Tom was doing work there as a diver at that time But what happened to Margaretta??Mother Annie McBride Fawkner Thank you all for reading this long long tale Trish in Sydney where bush fires are burning in the Blue Mountains and on the Central Coast above Sydney So many have lost their homes.Heart breaking
