Hi Cherilyn,

I wonder if I could be cheeky and ask you to look at a thread for me, it isn't my thread but 1 I've been trying to help out on for a lady called Eileen. I have directed her to your thread but she may not understand how to get to you.

I can't see William leaving the UK so I wondered what you maybe able to find on him.

Many thanks, Dee xx

Hi Cherilyn,

Can you find anything about the following family, they lived in Brisbane QLD:
Cyril Edward Skinner b1890 England
Mabel Florence Skinner b1888 England (his wife)
Beryl Elizabeth Skinner b18/07/1923 Brisbane

Cyril and Mabel married in England so it's just their deaths I'm after.
Any trace of a marriage, or death for Beryl?

Thanks for the offer,
Katie

HI Cherilyn,

That is most definitely them. I had information that said there was a James, obviously not correct.
Thank you so much, very much appreciated.

Hi Liz

Is this their marriage in NSW?

The Sydney Morning Herald, Saturday 7 April 1883
BENNETT--DONALDSON. --- March 14, at Glebe Presbyterian Church, Sydney, by the Rev. Andrew Gardiner, James, son of the late John Bennett, Ebenezer, Windsor. N. S W., to Charlotte, daughter of the late George Donaldson, Ballyboy, County Monaghan, Ireland. Home papers please copy.

They had 2 children in NSW:
Estelle L D in Glebe in 1885
Ivy A H in Newtown in 1887

No sign of James jnr's birth in NSW or Qld, sorry.

Hi Cherilyn,

Could you please look in Queensland for James Bennett father James mother Charlotte Edith Donaldson their marriage took place in 1882 so anytime after that for James birth. I know James Bennett Snr died in Queensland 1st July 1905 so anything else you can find for me on this family I will be ever so grateful.

Thank you
Liz

We have been looking for the last 3 years for Robert Joseph Hawkins known variously as Joe or Bob without success.He was born around 1920 in Shropshire and married Edith Blackwell before leaving for Australia in 1950.They had a daughter Dianne born 1945 and a son who died soon after birth in 1952 in Grenfell New South Wales.Joseph worked for the Gas works in Grenfell for a number of years gaining national recognition before leaving when the plant closed.His family in England would like to trace him if he is still alive or his descendants.
Any help would be gratefully accepted,
Thanks,
