Hi Daphne Sorry I can't see any children for this couple in Victoria up to 1920. Happy hunting! Cherilyn _______________________________________________ Hi Jane I was looking in Victoria - doh! Now I realise it is WA... Yes Susannah WATSON married Edwin Harvey Richard BEARD in 1913 in Wellington district (reg 5). At the time Edwin snr enlisted they were living in Donnybrook (south west WA). His wife is shown as 'Susy'. Edwin's occupation was benchman. He had a dark complexion, hazel eyes and brown hair, just under 5' 10' and 168lbs. He was born in Toodyay WA in 1884 to William BEARD and Hannah Sarah EATON (reg 24989); he was eldest of 7 children. His parents William and Hannah (or Anna) married in Northam in 1883 (reg 5404). William was born in Toodyay in 1854 to William and Mary HEAVY (or HARVEY) (reg 4654), one of 8 children, and died in Perth 20 Sept 1935 aged 76. Anna Sarah died in Perth 12 Sept 1939 aged 86. Wm & Mary married in Toodyay in 1854 (reg 685). William snr (husband of Mary) died in 1895 aged 63 (reg 1459, parents unknown). Mary died in Northam in 1914 age unknown (reg 83) or 7 Jan 1921 aged 83 (reg 12). Edwin Noel BEARD was born in 1914 in Blackwood district (reg 13).

Hi Cherilyn Thank you very much for all the info you have given me - sorry in the delay answering but have been to work today. Thanks again most appreciated. regards Jane

Hi James Sorry, no luck for Albert or Alberto CARR (or SCARAMUZZA) in Victoria, NSW or WA. Do you know his parents names? Cheers Cherilyn ___________________________________________ Hi Suzie Not sure which period you are looking for or if there are details you already have for early Vic...? Any particular HANSFORDS you are trying to trace? Quite a massive task otherwise...! (To give you some idea, there are 161 HANSFORDs on the Pioneer CD and 151 deaths for the surname HANSFORD 1921-85). Early St Kilda couples are John & Mary, John & Maria, Edward & Charlotte and Thos & Mary Ann. Is there any one of these you are looking for specifically? Many of the early HANSFORDs are from Dorsetshire - is that an area of interest? As for Elizabeth in NSW, there are 2 possibles. One died in 1859, father John, in Sydney (7644/122B). The other died aged 26 in 1851 (reg 361/37B). Cheers Cherilyn

Thank you Cherilyn for trying to find Burris children for me, perhaps parents moved back to Tasmania. Best wishes Daphne

Hi Cherilyn, I was wondering if you could help me please. I am trying to trace my GGrandad Harry Moore who was born in Victoria circa 1887 to George Frederick Moore (according to Harry's war records) but I would like to know anything about his Mum and if he had any siblings. I think Kay was his sister but I am not sure. Also if it is not too much trouble could you look up George Fredricks birth and parents. Many thanks in advance for your help. Kind regards Liz

Hi Liz & Suzie I am itching to get started on your lookups but have a big university deadline to meet for Friday, so I am having to resist! I will get to them as soon as I can, thanks for your patience! :-) Cherilyn

There is a marriage for a George IRELAND and Elizabeth WAITES in Pocklington (East Riding, Yorkshire) in Dec quarter 1846 (23/162).
