Eddie

There is another person apart from you that has him in their tree...are you in contact with that person?

You might try an enquiry on this excellent site:

http://www.ballaratgenealogy.org.au

Hi Jax, who is that other person you mentioned.
Eddie

Hi Jonesey, Thanks for that info I will look into it asap.
Eddie

Edwin,

I know that Jax is a night owl so she may not be around the site for a while yet.

Eli Dwight born in Ballarat in 1869 appears in 6 family trees on Ancestry. 5 are public trees and one is private. The one with what appears to be the most advanced info is owned by someone with the Ancestry board name Snake2000. Detail indicates that Eli was twice married and one of those marriages produced a son Albert George Dwight born in 1909 in Collingwood, Victoria in 1909, Died in 1985 in Kew, Victoria. It indicates that Albert was married to a lady whose surname was Aimers. It does not indicate any further details of her or whether they had any children.

Just a note of caution. The tree owner has over 105,000 people in it and does not contain any records so be aware that the information the tree contains might need verification of the facts before proceeding.

Jonesey, Thanks for the info 1105,000 is a bit much to look through and I am not a subscriber to ancestry site

I recommend that you change the title of your thread to include the word Australia,

...................... then you might get some help from people who live in Australia or have access to Australian records.

Hi SylvianIn Canada, Thank you for your comment when I posted the question on the 2nd July I did mention that the family I was trying to get records for was from Ballarat Victoria Australia. I thought that would have been enough info, but thanks once again for you intrest

Regards Edwin

Edwin

it does NOT say Australia in the TITLE

you have put it in the header post

The header post does not always show more than a few words.


I suggested that you changed the TITLE to say "Eli Dwight 1869, Australia"

Hi Cherilyn,
Wow!!! thank you for all that info a couple of facts I did not understand,Harriet1871 m.Jas Gilmor as Gilmer was this a typing error?
If I have anymore questions can I direct them to you and is this info available here in Australia

Edwin

She married to GILMOR and died as GILMER. Forgot to look for their chn so not sure which is correct. Could be a transcription error on one or other.

Yes happy to answer qu's and these are from Digger series of CDs.
