Find Ancestors

Hi Cherilyn....please can you check for Richard Abbott.he was born 1882 in durham in england..there is a chance that he married and died in oz

Hi Cane

Do you know his parents names please? Does he appear on the 1901 UK census, or 1911? just for a timeframe...bit of a needle in a haystack! :-)

Another one needs your help!

Thank you <3

Hi Cherilyn, me again!! I'm looking for a possible marriage between a Blanche Hutcheson B 1918 (place unknown as yet!) to one Frederick John Steward. FJ was born 1918 in Vic, and I have both parents from Vic death records, but I cannot find a marriage in either Vic or NSW. In the 1942 census, FJ is recorded as a soldier, and I'm wondering if perhaps they married in a hurry before he embarked for Papua. Their first child was born c 1940. Cheers Linda

Yep Linda. Blanche married Frederick in 1939 in Victoria (reg 12715). Those young romantics! :-D

The only Frederick John STEWARD at NAA Recordsearch served in WWI? So maybe the one in 1942 is not him?

Thanks, Gins, not much to add really...the cert will help :-)

Cherilyn, I could kiss you!!! Thought I hd to tell another dear friend that her saintly grandmother wasn't so saintly!!! Hmm the one in 1942 is at home with Blanche, maybe the WW1 is a forefather, and maybe FJ didn't "serve" but joined up just too late? Thank you again, Linda :)

Hi Zena

If you order thru NSW registry it will be A$31 for a certificate:
www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/Index/IndexingOrder.cgi/search

If you use a transcription agent it is less - A$18 (less if you don't need the full cert). See Joy Murrin www.joymurrin.com.au/home-page/our-services/nsw/
OR Marilyn Rowan www.transcriptions.com.au/pages/transerv.php

The only difference is that it is not a 'legal' document in the courts but all the info is exactly the same! Hope this helps :-)

Happy to help, Linda :-D

Found Frederick John STEWARD - he did serve in WWII; he enlisted in 1942, served til Nov 1945, and he was a Staff Sergeant. Spelling is a bit different so missed it before, but spotted him on the nominal roll:

STEWARD FREDRICK JOHN : Service Number - VX101939 : Date of birth - 16 Mar 1918 : Place of birth - MELBOURNE VIC : Place of enlistment - BROADMEADOWS VIC : Next of Kin - STEWARD BLANCHE

Hi Cherilyn,
could you possibly find out some info. as to what happened to Laurence Harry Harding b. London 1906. He married 1937 North Sydney to Monica Elaine Webb but papers for divorce 1941 and 1945 NSW State Records.
Laurence joined Australian Army 3rd June 1940 - discharged 2nd June 1941 - 2/29 Battalion.
Enlisted Paddington NSW. I know he had a Court case of Fraud against him 1930 but do not know result of Court case. On Trove.
I would like to know if possible if Laurence remarried and any children and what became of him after Divorce. Any snippet of info. welcome. Many thanks, Sylvia

thanks for your help cherilyn

You always go the extra yard Cherilyn!! Thank you so much for that, my friend is on the boat back to vic tonight so shall text her and she can start her own research from home. No doubt she'll need more help but I know she is extremely grateful to you (I found nada!!). Regards Linda :)

Hi Sylvia

It is a bad scan (Trove) but this is the result of his court case:

The Argus, Saturday 20 September 1930
Laurence Henry Harding, aged 23 years, labourer of Myrtleford, had pleaded guilty to a charge of having obtained money at Melbourne on August 3 by means of a valueless cheque. Judge Winneke said that Harding would be sentenced to imprisonment for three months.

Sorry I can't find any remarriage or death for him, nor Monica :-(

Thank you Cheryl, A little more info to add. I did find from Ancestry that Monica was working as a Secretary 1949 at Cremorne, Warringah, N.S.W.
Do not know if she remarried but not then - still Monica Elaine Harding.
Thank you once again, Sylvia

Hi Suzanne

I can see son Norman Fredk Chas b. Qld 1891...and George Herbert in 'Fran' [Frankston?] Victoria in 1893. So they came to Vic around 1892.

Not sure where they might be between then??? sorry :-(

Hi Cherilyn,

Fingers crossed,I have been looking for this man for years!... I am looking for immigration details for Thomas Pover to New South Wales on the unassisted passenger lists, sorry I do not have a specific year but it would have been after 1862 when he married in Lambeth, Thomas was born in 1839 in Sussex England. I last have him in Corfu Roads on a HMS Terrible in the 1861 census. After that who know what happened? Any help you can offer is very much appreciated,

Kindest regards
Lisa
