    2. jean and terry
    3. Annette, We came out in 1966 and the following year a caravan outside a shopping centre invited anyone to become a citizen if they wished. At that point Australians were British and so was I. My husband took the attitude when he left UK that he didn't intend to go back (and so far never has but he could run out of excuses when I lose my dogs!!) and if we were going to live here then we should be citizens. It was easy we signed a piece of paper each and now have certificates saying we and our children are Australian citizens. I am not sure just why but today you are not an Australian citizen unless you go through some ceremony. It is amazing how many people in the upper 60s who have lived here and even had children here who are like you and don't have citizenship. The Yorkshire blood in me would balk at paying an entry visa to get back in. I assumed the original enquirer perhaps wanted an English passport so they could work in UK. (Have no idea how that works.) Our children came here aged under 2 and just 4 so they shouldn't have a problem either. The point you make of the certificate which gave us entry might be what they were looking for as an explanation of why the parent doesn't reside in UK. Jean in S.

    3. Hi Bill, I have a British passport, live in Australia but was born in England of English parents, we came in 1950 but did not have passports to get into Australia - we had an entry permit which fortunatley my parents had kept so I was able to use this to prove how I got into Australia - I still have a British passport as when we came in 1950 we were classed as Australians, but then Gough WHITLAM changed the rules and made it retrspective back to 1945 - so I have never been naturalised - I was good enough when I arrived etc. Of course I now have to have a re entry visa every five years (we go OS a lot) which I have to pay for, my sister who came with me has a permanent re entry visa which costs her nothing - work that out, no on else can, she is told she is very lucky to have it. There are various immigration offices around Australia which are listed on their web site, I think I would be phoning one of them as she will need a re entry visa, also the British High Commission is where you get the UK passports, they do have a ph number BUT it does cost a few dollars a minute, don't ask why, I suppose it's because they can, just check out their website, (check Google). I use the Southport Immigration Office on the Gold Coast.

    1. [WRY] Visiting Yorkshire
    2. Sandra Matthews
    3. After 15 years of genealogical research from right here at my computer, I am finally going to Yorkshire in May to visit the places that I have only seen as names on censuses and certificates. I would be most grateful for any tips or recommendations from those of you who have been there or live there regarding accommodation and transportation or any must sees in terms of research facilities for the locations that are of interest to me. My grandfather Edwin POUNDER was born in Altofts in 1890, his father Mark was born in Beverley, ERY 1857 but moved to Wakefield in his teens and worked on the railway, eventually as a driver. His father also Mark, was born 1813 in Leon, Spain (presumably the son of a soldier in the Peninsular War) returned to Beeston at about the age of 2 and then went on to become a jail guard at the Beverley House of Correction. I hope to visit the Railway Museum at York to learn more more about the life as a railway worker. Can anyone suggest a museum that has a good demonstration of life as a jail keeper and a possible approach to learn more about Peter Pounder the Peninsular War soldier. Thanking you in advance from a very happy, soon to be Yorkshire tourist Sandra Ontario, Canada

    1. [WRY] Strange or incorrect census entry? Help, please!
    2. Sue Regan
    3. I have been puzzling over an entry in the 1851 census (the actual image) for the two participants in a marriage, Jane Boothman and Joseph Lawson. Until I saw it, I had so much evidence as to the parentage of both Jane and Joseph that I had no doubt that I had identified the correct couple. According to Ancestry, Lancashire BMD and Free BMD the said Jane and Joseph were married in Gisburne Oct-Dec 1850 but of course the fathers are not given. I have the Gisburne microfiche for the period but would you believe, although Jane and Joseph are in the index under the same number, that page of 15 entries is missing...aargh! This is the 1851 entry: 1851 Gisburne Cotes Farm Boothman James Head,Widr, 60 Farmer of 80 acres Waddington Jane Dau, 26 unmarried Farmer's Daughter Downham Thomas Son Farmer's Son Downham Hannah Dau, 14 Farmer's Daughter Downham William Son, 11 Gisburne Joseph Son, 7 Gisburne Lawson Joseph Visitor, 26 Farmer's Son Gargrave So here we have an unmarried Jane Boothman being visited by Joseph Lawson a married farmer's son, who I am certain has been her husband since the last quarter of 1850. It seems an unlikely mistake for any of the family to make or maybe whoever gave the information was drunk! As an example of the evidence I have, Jane's mother's maiden name was Hayes and Jane had a younger brother, Thomas Hayes Boothman, and named one of her own sons, William Hayes Lawson. Also Jane and Joseph's eldest daughter Mary Anne Lawson was born at Gisburne Coates in May 1851 (where Jane's widowed father, was still living). There are so many certificates I really need to buy and I don't want to have to spend money on one when I am 99.99% convinced I already have the answers! Can anyone explain this strange census entry? Any thoughts or ideas would be very much appreciated. Cheers Sue

    3. Hi, My understanding is that if one has a parent or gandparent born in UK you can have a UK passport. I wonder if your friend misunderstands the question and is actually being asked for a certificate of naturalisation as a citizen of Australian not UK. I have always travelled on an Australia passport because I believed we had offended less people and therefore it was safer (not the case today) and I was more interested in getting back into Australia. I felt being born in UK guaranteed me entry there. They keep changing the rules but I can't see how anyone born in UK would have naturalisation papers. Jean in S.

    2. Keith & Mabel Jowsey
    3. Hi Barbara. I believe you are correct in thinking that Elizabeth & Charles NORTON are brother and sister - both employed by Ann BANKER, a farmer, in 1841 at Low Hall, Pollington. Also in Pollington in 1841 are Nathan aged 56, Mary aged 55 & Ann aged 12 who are apparently living with John & Sarah MIDDLETON aged 80 & 70 respectively (remembering that in 1841 ages were usually rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5 for anyone over the age of 15) in Shop Lane, Pollington. Also in the village is a 20 year old George NORTON employed by Charles WHEATON, farmer of Common End, Pollington. And - in the village, at Common End, are the RANBYs - Jonathan 48, Frances 45, Hannah 21, George 12, Ellen 10 & Mary aged 8. Jonathan is an Ag lab. - possibly employed by John SYKES? My theory is that John & Sarah MIDDLETON could be Mary NORTON's parents - I see that Charles & Ellen had children called John & Sarah? George, Elizabeth, Charles & Ann NORTON are probably all children of Nathan & Marry NORTON - there could be others. Charles NORTON & Ellen RANBY have probably known each other all their lives having grown up in the same village. May I suggest that you contact the Family History Centre at the LDS Church in Christchurch (near Mona Vale) and ask them how to order the Parish Registers for Snaith which is only a couple of miles from Pollington. There you should be able to find out much more about the family.

    3. There is also an excellent article about Dade Registers by Pauline M Litton in Family Tree Magazine July 1995. In 1998, Family History Magazine began a series by Pauline Litton called 'Pitfalls and Possibilities in Family History Research'. The series ran for several years and was exceptional, in my opinion, for climbing over those inevitable 'brick walls' and giving reasons why ancestors had become elusive!! And ideas where to look next!! I often refer to them all these years later. They are well worth reading if you can get hold of copies from back then! Local libraries perhaps.
