Hello Everyone,
Looking for any info on Fanney King born 1876 Gin Gin WA. Fanney married a Reverand John Weir in WA in 1905.
Have not be able to find any other info on her eg., children and deaths for Fanney and her husband John.
Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Patricia.

Is it possible that this family moved to the State of N.S.W.

As they married 1905 in Western Australia, there is nothing showing for any childrens birth ..ect.

The N.S.W on-line BDM index only allows birth searches up to 1908, but there is a Fanny WEIR coming up on the N.S.W electorol rolls.?.....No John WEIR is with them in 1930

1930 Electorol Roll
Name: Fanny Weir
Gender: Female
Electoral Year: 1930
State: New South Wales
District: Wentworth
95 Ocean street.
Subdistrict: Woollahra
Living at same Address....John King WEIR ( railway Employee )......Alison WEIR.( Nurse )....David Francis KIng WEIR ( Caretaker )....children perhaps, taking their mothers "King" maiden name, as a second given name?

Hi Tony and Julcoe,
Thanks very much for the information you have found.
I had no idea that they may have moved to another state.
All I had was their marriage. It is possible that they moved and john forgot to take his name off the roll.
Would be interesting to find out who John King Weir is. As you say Julcoe he shows up in 1903 so he cannot be Fanney and John's.
Thanks again for the info.
Regards,
Patricia.

Hi Tony and All ,
Do you know if there is a site or sites on the net that maybe might have names of Ministers of Religion . Maybe John was sent to another state through the Ministery.
I was thinking maybe his father was a minister as well in WA (not sure).
Any info would be great.Thanks.
Regards,
Patricia.

Hi Patricia.

I cant say myself, that i know of anywhere on the net that you might find a list of Ministers of Religion.

If no one else can help, then i would be inclined to contact, or ring some Church admisitration's in your local area, and perhaps they may know of something.

Good luck.
