Find Ancestors

Hi Cherilyn
I have a Thomas (1858 – 1935) and Emma Boliver (1870 – 1936) who emigrated from England to Australia on 29 Aug 1914 from Plymouth, as well as their 2 children there was also a Louisa Boliver aged 28 with them, I can't fit Louisa to any of my relatives and wondered wether the age on the ship's manifest was wrong?

Thomas and Emma appear to have settled in NSW and I have some info on their children and grandchildren from other trees but nothing about Louisa

Linda :)

Hi Cherilyn

His parents were Martin & Ada Rourke they stayed in England, Gerald travelled to Aus with his wife Joan and possibly 2 children names unknown. it is thought that they or members of their family may have been on holiday in the area of the Asian Tsunami disaster of Dec. 2004.

I know it is a bit of a long shot but thanks for your effort and I will try the whitepages website.

Regards Keith.

Hi Keith

Do you happen to know his parents names? Did he have a middle name?

Not much to go on with this as fairly recent by records access standards!

There are only a few G O'Rourkes listed in WA's telephone directory (see www.whitepages.com.au). Worth a try?

Hi Cherilyn.

I wonder if you can assist or help me in any way to trace a Gerald O'Rourke and Family, Gerald was born 1950 Runcorn Cheshire and immigrated with Family to Aus. late 1970 maybe to work in the Tom Price area of Aus.

Hi Cherilyn,
Thank you for the info on Hannah Sherwood. I will keep a note of the other info you have given me. may be able to connect them .

Regards,
Patricia.

Hi Patricia

Hannah SHERWOOD died in 1909 aged 76 in Melbourne South, parents James BRADLEY and Isabella GALLAGHER (reg 9797).

Can't see a marriage for Isabella but there is a child born to Isabella Lara FOGARTY and Joseph HALE in 1899 in Carlton?

Hello Cherilyn,
I am looking for a death for a Hannah Jane or Anna Jane Sherwood in 1909 in Melbourne Victoria. Her parents were James Bradley and Isabella Gallagher. Also a marriage for a Isabella Fogarty to a Brown in Victoria somewhere between 1877 and 1930.
Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
Patricia.

Thanks Gins, will take a look :-D

Cherilyn

Any chance you could take a look at this thread please. Ive searched for Charles Ing* b1867c and come up with a big fat zero for anything in Oz!

Thank you :-D

Hi Cherilyn,

Thank you again for all the material on Reginald's family. Maybe sometime someone will make an index to parents' names from death records and we'll find Marie. Yes, Reginald's middle name was Ebenezer for his father. Another senior moment.

Happy searching,

Charlotte

No problem, Charlotte.

Very difficult without a surname. No chn born in WA to mother Mary or Maria BUDD.

The West Australian, Friday 29 November 1946
BUDD. W. J. C. (Jack), Flying-Officer, 406971.--Missing in flying operations, May 6, 1943, now presumed dead, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Reg Budd (Guildford).

I believe this is Reginald Ebenezer BUDD who died in 1948, late of Guidlford, aged 69. (You have Reginald Chas?) he was a garage proprietor and mechanic.

They also had a daughter named Irene. There is a photo of her here trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/59450387?searchTerm=guildford budd&searchLimits= She married in 1941 to Robt Theodore JOLLEY and died in 2007 aged 92.

They had another son named Reginald who was engaged in 1940 to Janet RAINSFORD (but they did not marry). This may be him?
BUDD WILLIAM HENRY REGINALD : Service Number - WX29131 : Date of birth - 09 Sep 1917 : Place of birth - MIDLAND JUNCTION WA : Place of enlistment - MOORA WA : Next of Kin - BUDD REGINALD

Mrs Florence BUDD (b. c1887) & Miss Irene BUDD (b. c1916) came to Fremantle in 1927 from London - can only assume this was a return from a trip to the Old Country? Then a Reginald E BUDD (b. c1879) to Fremantle in 1928.

Hi Cherilyn,

Yes, thank you. I had seen the responses and started a reply to you including another request where I had no place or surname. That got put in drafts and I have been off in a different direction, doing French Canadian for a client. So I have had to put my own lines aside for the time being.

In case you run across the name I think I will just give you this person. Maria Budd born 4 April 1847 in Clerkenwell, Middlesex, England to William Budd and Susannah Fountain Budd. She married in England and then went to Australia with her husband who was in poor health. He died and she remarried. Neither surname known and too many of this name in London area to pin anything down. The only clue to a possible place was that a nephew Reginald Charles Budd had a son (named for his brother) Wrinch Joseph Charles Budd born in Western Australia. This is what I have found in Ancestry for him.

BUDD WRINCH JOSEPH CHARLES : Service Number - 406971 : Date of birth - 22 Aug 1915 : Place of birth - MIDLAND JUNCTION WA : Place of enlistment - PERTH WA : Next of Kin - BUDD REGINALD

Flying officer, Australian in Australian forces, RAAF, 31st Squadron, on Ambon Memorial. Died in Netherlands East Indies (Indonesia). Cause of death flying battle. Service number 406971

His mother Florence Maggie Howes died 24 Apr 1961 in Western Australia. The uncle for whom he was named was killed in action in WW1 in Europe.

I do apologize for not getting back to you before this. Thank you so much for the information.

There is an 1842 birth for Emma PARTON in Stafford :-)

An Emma PARTON arrived in Queensland in Aug 1880 aged 38 aboard 'Shenir'. Not sure if same lady but no birth in Qld. No other PARTONs travelling with her.

That would make her the same age as Richard. May explain why they had no children!

Looking at her parents names in later censuses, I suspect she may be the Emma PARTON born in 1842 in Wellington, Shropshire (though there are a few other possibles).

HI Charlotte

It appears they had no children.

Lol thanks Quoy that would be great but I live in Perth :-) bit of a trek! sadly arifares within Australia cost more than going overseas to Bali etc...which is why so many Aussies (esp from Perth) go there instead! (I'm off in July actually with my daughter for some 'girly' relaxing/shopping time!)
