Hi Ellen

Sorry I can't see any births with mother as Fleming in that period, or any Ste*/Stearn/e...however, this appears to be the death of another son, born c1876. You may know of him just just in case...

Surname Stearn
Given name Joseph
Male
Age 82
Father William S
Mother Catherine
District Swan
Reg 116
Year 1957

He was a miner in Coolgardie c1917 according to NAA RecordSearch
Stearn, Joseph; age 42; address - Coolgardie WA [occupation - miner]

P.S. It is spelled Toodyay :)

EDIT: Joseph was born in Wangaratta in 1876 (reg 12838, mother's maiden name as FLEMMING)

Hi Cherilyn, I am hoping you might be able to find a birth for a William (Snowling) Stearn,his parents were William Snowling Stearn born 1821 & Catherine Fleming born abt 1842 they married 30/12/1862 at St Stephens Toodjay (Formally Newcastle)
William Jnr was born abt 1863 in WA (Died 20/7/1948 in East malvern Victoria aged 85 years)
I finally found after many years searching there departure from Perth for Sydney on the "Kestral" under the name of Fibbs- William, Catherine, William, He was a convict maybe why they changed their name for the passage, as they finally ended up in Wangaratta under the Stearn name

Many Thanks Ellen

Many thanks again Cherilyn - for all your findings - every piece most appreciated.

Marriage NSW

959/1932 HOPKINS ALFRED E NEW PHOEBE A CANTERBURY

Edmund W (presumably Walter) NEW, son of Charles E and Elizabeth M NEW was born in 1913 so they were definitely in NSW by then (30227/1913).

Many thanks Cherilyn - you have been busy - I shall pass this on. This info will now help confirm some of their queries. Much appreciated (as always) ....Valerie

Can't see their emigration but found these in Ryerson Index

Hi Cherilyn - I'm back again re same family. Please -if/when you have a chance -could you check some more?

Apparently Mrs F and Mr J New came out (firstly) in 1912 -then when retired made a trip back (you found them 1930) ('yes' that was his death 1939)

These relatives came out too - about same time -c1911+ (poss. to Bankstown.)

Charles NEW (b1854) + son Charles Edmund NEW
PLUS
2 brothers John & Daniel NEW (b1876)

We would appreciate you having another go for us. Thanks again - Valerie

THANK YOU Cherilyn - I/we appreciate all the searching involved! That's great - very kind of you.

Thanks again - Valerie

Hi Valerie, sorry i can't see him emigrating to Australia.

A Mrs F. & Mr J. New came to NSW in 1930 aboard Otranto but he wasn't listed with them.

PS Their intended address was Bankstown - possible death for John NEW in that located in 1939 aged 74.

EDIT: Yes that was his death: https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/17601896
His wife died in 1947 - https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/18045518

Hi Cherilyn

Please can you check your Australian records for:
Albert Leonard NEW b 1884 Newbury Berks...mother Ellen New

Last noted on 1911 census -living with Uncle John & Aunt Fanny NEW.

He MAY have accompanied them to Australia shortly after 1911.

Would appreciate anything you can find! Thanks - Valerie (WAus)

Thanks for looking, Cherilyn.

Hi grannyfranny, sorry for the delay in responding - I've sent you a PM but no luck I'm afraid :-(

I have Charlotte Forster b London 1806, married Benjamin Deacon. She disappears after the 1841 census but Benjamin is living with his sister in 1851 and says he is married, not widowed. Their daughter Charlotte Maria married Frederick Hoare in 1857 then the couple emigrated to Australia, I have a fairly full family history of them after that. However, I did wonder if Charlotte Deacon went with them, as I can't find her here in any way.
Would you be able to check her out for me please?

Just giving you another 'nudge' Cherilyn, lol, if you're still about, and have a minute!, can you take a look on below...

Chris :)
