Find Ancestors

Hi Cherylin, Could you please try to find a birth for one ada kathleen larner c 1870+-. She married a Patrick Francis Moran in 1896 in qld, but this doesn't necessarily mean she was born there! I've been contacted by somone on ancestry today, claiming that ada is the daughter of one james nicholson larner and elizabeth brown of ballarat east, BUT I don't believe so. James is my husbands gt gt grandfather. Regards Linda :)

Thank you, I will x

South Australian Genealogical Society :-)
Just Google it!

Good luck!

Hi
Oh yes, I forgot you said about Kerri's thread - I will do that.
Without showing my ignorance too much, what's SAGS?
Sue

Hi Sue
Maybe try Kerri's thread as she has some early SA stuff. Or you could contact SAGS.
He was quite a character I'd say! :-)
Cheers
Cherilyn

Hi Cherilyn
I did have a quick look on the newspaper website that you gave me, before asking you but it looks like the South Australian Advertiser's records do not go back as far as 1853.
I didn't know if you had any other records to look at?
He sounds a bit of a lad, doesn't he? :-)

Hi Sue, my pleasure. Unfortunately I can't see anything about Searle and Smith regarding manslaughter. I only tried the NLA Newspapers site. Worth a try yourself perhaps! :-)

Thanks for the info on the frawley family, They are my family I will send for richards certificate thanks again cathleen

Hi again Cherilyn,
Through the info you gave me, I came across a website that had a mention of my James Searle and it stated that he was acquitted of a charge of manslaughter of George Smith on 10th August 1853!!!
Is there any way you (or me if I knew how) could find out anymore about this ie a newspaper article?
Sorry to be a pain!!
Sue

Hello Cherilyn,
Wow, thank you so much for all of that information you have found out about James Searle for me - you are fantastic!!
I'm going to sit and quietly read it now & digest all the info that you have so kindly given me.
It must've taken you so long to do all of that for me, you are really kind.
Thank you loads & loads.
Regards, Sue

Hi Cherilyn,
thank you very much for looking for my elusive Charles I wonder where he went? Also thanks for info on Fred

Hi Ann

There was a John Edward SHEARSTONE in Victoria around this time but no Chas sorry.

Is this Frederick?

MUNDELL Frederick Ernest : Service Number - 2704 : Place of Birth - Portsmouth England : Place of Enlistment - Townsville QLD : Next of Kin - (Mother) PARSONS Louisa

No Chas in Qld either. Also tried NSW.

But here is Frederick's death in Qld:
1946/C1751 Frederick Ernest Mundell [f] James John [m] Louisa Lacey

Another daughter:
The South Australian Advertiser, Monday 28 January 1861
January 19, at Searle's Grove, Reedbeds, the wife of Mr. J. Searle of a daughter.

Son Edward's obit:
The Advertiser, Friday 21 November 1930
OBITUARY
The death of Mr. Edward Searle on Friday, November 14, at Willow Park, Mimbadoggie, has removed another fine old pioneer. Mr. Searle was born at Reedbeds on June 11. 1848, and went to the north in 1875, taking up the land that he was living on at his death. Mr. Searle was a great lover of horses. It was said that with a team of bullocks he could go practically anywhere. He was a wheat farmer practically all his life. He leaves two sons, E. L. Searle and W. T. Searle, of Mimbadoggie, and two daughters, Mesdames M. H. Modystack, of Wilmington, and J. Shepherd, of Jamestown. His wife predeceased him a few years ago.

I think this might be Julia:
The Advertiser, Friday 29 May 1891
DEATH OF AN OLD COLONIST.
[By Telegraph.]
Quorn, May 28.
Mrs. Searle, of Whim Park farm, near Bruce, died early this morning. The deceased lady was an old colonist and an early settler at the Reedbeds. The funeral will take place at the Quorn Cemetery on Saturday. The deceased was 73 years of age.

HI Sue

Yes Rebecca SEARLE died in 1841 aged only 26 at Yarra-Yarra, Vic (NSW reg V18411679 25B/1841 or Vic reg 3614). Her death cert may not reveal much... They actually married at St James in Melbourne.

She and James had a son, James, in 1839 at Yarra, Vic.

James & Julia also had a son named James, born 1842 at Ruffey's Creek, Vic. I can't see a death for the first James though! They also married in Melbourne, Victoria (not NSW), at St Francis. She is shown as Judith NOWLAN. See www.bdm.nsw.gov.au to order, or may be cheaper through Vic site (below). Let me know if you want Vic reg details.

Arrivals in SA
SEARLE James, Julia, 2 ch arrived 1846-06-07 on Union (2) from Launceston
and
SEARLE (James?), wife (Julia nee NOLAN, John Jas, dau, Hy?) arrived 1847-05-03 on Theresa from London v Plymouth 1847-01-19

Might be worth checking Tasmanian bdms (try www.raogk.org). It also seems they went back to the UK sometime between 1846 and 1847.

Here's 2 births in SA, may be others:
SEARLE Edward born 1848-06-10 at Reed Beds, father SEARLE James, mother NOWLIND Julia
SEARLE Mark born 1853-06-21 at Reed Beds, father SEARLE James, mother NOWLING Julia

There is a snippet in the South Australian newspaper on Saturday 27 May 1865 about Mr. James Searle, of Reedbeds, formerly of Sussex, England, aged 75 years.

I think Julia died in SA in 1901 as there is an application regarding her lost will made by Mark Searle. It appears Mark was a farmer in the Prospect area.

Try Kerri's thread on this board for SA lookups. :-)

Cherilyn

Just to add, Cathleen - there is a submitted birth entry in the IGI for Richard FRAWLEY b. c1831 to Patrick John FRAWLEY & Susan CODY.

:-)

Hi Cathleen

I can't see him in the mining accidents index or inquests. But here is his death reg:

Surname: FRAWLEY
Given Names: Richard
Event: D
Father: Patrick
Mother: Susan
Age: 30
Birth Place: CLAR
Year: 1864
Reg Number: 2808

This could be a brother's death?

Surname: FRAWLEY
Given Names: Michael
Event: D
Father: Patrick
Mother: Susan CODY
Age: 55
Death Place: WHEIP [Warrenheip]
Year: 1883
Reg Number: 3692

In which case, this is his mother's death in Vic:

Surname: FRAWLEY
Given Names: Susan
Event: D
Father: Cody Dennis
Mother: Margaret
Age: 68
Birth Place: CLAR
Year: 1864
Reg Number: 7180

A Susan FRAWLEY (46) arrived in Vic in May 1858 as an assisted pasenger on 'Parsee', along with Patrick (26) and Bridget (24).

Likely arrival for Michael in Nov 1857 aged 26 with James (24), Margaret (29), Patrick (22) and Thos (19).

I can't see Richard's arrival.

Best bet would be to order the death cert of Richard... go to https://online.justice.vic.gov.au/bdm/index-search?action=purchaseImage

It is about A$18 and is downloaded immediately as a pdf file.

Good luck!

I see your kind offer please could look for anything on Charles Shearstone?

Charles Shearston/e (l variations in spelling) was born 1837 East Coker, I have him on census 1841, 1851, 1861,
he married 15 may 1865 age 26 B Labourer, of Bermondsey to Elizabeth Bell 27, S ,Bermondsey

Then he turns up in the 1901 census with his niece a widower age 62 living on own means, by 1911 he has remarried with 3 children a retired miner, I was told that is niece son Frederick Mundell went tin mining in Australia I found Fred in, Unassisted Inward Passenger Lists to Victoria 24 OCT 1894 AUSTRAL B ,so maybe he went out to join his uncle ? Fred then joined up, from" Australian Imperial Force Nominal Roll"
Frederick Ernest Mundell, Private age 37,a miner Single, Lower Romeo, Via Cooktown, Queen Town ,
So is this where Charles went? Is there a death of his wife Elizabeth?

I found there are two Charles Sheatstone on a ships PROV Index,
Charles 50 NOV 1888 ORMUZ B 505 009. Chas 41 OCT 1879 CUZCO ,B 374 005, the ages are right
I did ask for a lookup on Ships passenger list for him nothing was found,
Thank you,

Hi Cherilyn,
I wonder if you could help me please?
James Searle was convicted at the Sussex Quarter Session, of stealing 4 bushels of wheat and was sentenced to 7 years transportation for the crime. He left England aboard the 'Sarah' on 22.8.1829 and arrived in NSW on 7.12.1829.
He left behind his wife, Sarah and 5 very small children.
I believe that he married again twice in Australia but only have names & dates. Would you be able to shed anymore light on these marriages please? Where they took place etc.
Also, did James have anymore children in Australia?
(I believe James died in 1865 in Adelaide)
I hope that I'm not asking too much?
The marriage notes I have are -
16.1.1840 married Rebecca Cogdon
17.9.1841 married Julia Nowlan.
I wonder if Rebecca died?
Thank you so much for any help at all that you are able to give.
Regards, Sue
