Find Ancestors

So...mother still living, but father not?

But he didn't die back in 1960 I guess?! Just seems a big coincidence as fits marriage of parents being 1919 and his birth late 1920, as per enlistment in Qld. Of course, coincidences happen!

The brothers from Ireland, were they the COLE side, or mother's side?

You are going to find this a difficult task without more info. You need some solid facts, like dates and names, as family stories are interesting but not much help (and have often been embellished along the way, like Chinese whispers!). Hopefully someone with Ancestry access can help, tho I am curious as to how it will all work as all states have separate indexes and each have different cut-off dates...

It does seem rather odd that if you pay for Ancestry the privacy date no longer applies as it does on the QLD website.
Edit to say I will ask for a look up on Ancestry .Au for the marriage
and get back to you if I may

I suspect it is the same cut-off dates. By hiding info it is their way of getting you to pay up on the off-chance. There is no match for Wm Gordon COLE marriage in Qld. Try it yourself:

EDIT: Just found burial at Nambour for Wm Gordon Cole in 1960, born c1921. See other thread.

James Barraclough b.1872 Leeds & Charlotte Barraclough b.1872 Leeds.
I have now found Ethel on the 1911 Census still in Leeds & still single. Dad always said he had a sister he had never seen as she emigrated before he was born. He was born on 7th December 1912 if this is right Ethel must have emigrated 1911 or 1912. I'm now wondering if she married in Australia. Thanks for trying with this - I would love to find out what happened to her.
Best wishes, Loma.

Omg
just looked up the 1871 Census for George and Catherine Bowler
out of curiosity ( until I have more evidence) George was born 3 miles away from where I am .

Lorna, assuming she stayed in West Riding this could be her?

Thinking your dad was still a baby so wouldn't remember her and the family memory might be a bit amiss in saying she went before he was born.

Try looking at www.findmypast.co.uk/migration for each of these and see how you go. Do put a couple of years each side of her birth year and put allow alternatives for first name (which will then allow for initials etc).

Good luck, sorry I can't find her.

Nicola, sorry no luck.

Quoy, that's amazing, how weird is that!
Did you see my post about the cemetery in Nambour?

I have a feeling that the death of William in 1960 at Nambour is the correct one .
Little things trigger memories.Whilst doing my own tree yesterday I saw the name Bailey and that is the surname of the 2 brothers who came from Ireland in the family story.I had forgotten until I saw that name .

I am waiting for a reply from my friends.

Hi Cherilyn,

This is a bit of a long shot really. I am looking for a Robert Bennett b Bath , Somerset in 1839 I cannot find him again in the UK census records after 1861. His parents were James & Mary Ann.
I am thinking that he may have gone out to Australia as his uncle went out there and married in Wilberforce in 1836.
Could you see if you can find him please?

Thank you in anticipation
Liz

Hi Liz, whoa this is a bit tricky...can't see him marrying in Vic (as b. Bath or Somerset) nor a death in NSW or Vic with matching parents names. Not that that means he sin't there...somewhere.

Shame he didn't have a more unusual name really :-)

Sorry :-(

Hi Cherilyn,

Thank you so much for looking. Much appreciated

Hi Cherilyn, I am trying to find infomation on Richard Frawley who died in1864 in a mining accident Ballarat Victoria he was born 1831 Co Clare Ireland. thanks cathleen.

Hi Cherilyn,
I wonder if you could help me please?
James Searle was convicted at the Sussex Quarter Session, of stealing 4 bushels of wheat and was sentenced to 7 years transportation for the crime. He left England aboard the 'Sarah' on 22.8.1829 and arrived in NSW on 7.12.1829.
He left behind his wife, Sarah and 5 very small children.
I believe that he married again twice in Australia but only have names & dates. Would you be able to shed anymore light on these marriages please? Where they took place etc.
Also, did James have anymore children in Australia?
(I believe James died in 1865 in Adelaide)
I hope that I'm not asking too much?
The marriage notes I have are -
16.1.1840 married Rebecca Cogdon
17.9.1841 married Julia Nowlan.
I wonder if Rebecca died?
Thank you so much for any help at all that you are able to give.
Regards, Sue

I see your kind offer please could look for anything on Charles Shearstone?

Charles Shearston/e (l variations in spelling) was born 1837 East Coker, I have him on census 1841, 1851, 1861,
he married 15 may 1865 age 26 B Labourer, of Bermondsey to Elizabeth Bell 27, S ,Bermondsey

Then he turns up in the 1901 census with his niece a widower age 62 living on own means, by 1911 he has remarried with 3 children a retired miner, I was told that is niece son Frederick Mundell went tin mining in Australia I found Fred in, Unassisted Inward Passenger Lists to Victoria 24 OCT 1894 AUSTRAL B ,so maybe he went out to join his uncle ? Fred then joined up, from" Australian Imperial Force Nominal Roll"
Frederick Ernest Mundell, Private age 37,a miner Single, Lower Romeo, Via Cooktown, Queen Town ,
So is this where Charles went? Is there a death of his wife Elizabeth?

I found there are two Charles Sheatstone on a ships PROV Index,
Charles 50 NOV 1888 ORMUZ B 505 009. Chas 41 OCT 1879 CUZCO ,B 374 005, the ages are right
I did ask for a lookup on Ships passenger list for him nothing was found,
Thank you,
Ann E

Hi Cathleen

I can't see him in the mining accidents index or inquests. But here is his death reg:

Surname: FRAWLEY
Given Names: Richard
Event: D
Father: Patrick
Mother: Susan
Age: 30
Birth Place: CLAR
Year: 1864
Reg Number: 2808

This could be a brother's death?

Surname: FRAWLEY
Given Names: Michael
Event: D
Father: Patrick
Mother: Susan CODY
Age: 55
Death Place: WHEIP [Warrenheip]
Year: 1883
Reg Number: 3692

In which case, this is his mother's death in Vic:

Surname: FRAWLEY
Given Names: Susan
Event: D
Father: Cody Dennis
Mother: Margaret
Age: 68
Birth Place: CLAR
Year: 1864
Reg Number: 7180

A Susan FRAWLEY (46) arrived in Vic in May 1858 as an assisted pasenger on 'Parsee', along with Patrick (26) and Bridget (24).

Likely arrival for Michael in Nov 1857 aged 26 with James (24), Margaret (29), Patrick (22) and Thos (19).

I can't see Richard's arrival.

Best bet would be to order the death cert of Richard... go to https://online.justice.vic.gov.au/bdm/index-search?action=purchaseImage

It is about A$18 and is downloaded immediately as a pdf file.

Good luck!

Just to add, Cathleen - there is a submitted birth entry in the IGI for Richard FRAWLEY b. c1831 to Patrick John FRAWLEY & Susan CODY.
