Thanks again Sandyhall, agree with theory Henry has married 2 Hannahs. My Ancestry sub has expired, and not inclined to renew, as only attempting this research for a friend. I will suggest she buy...

Hi Sandyhall, I am continuing the research. Found this in newspaper today,
Taylor – In sad but loving memory of my dear mother Hannah Taylor, who departed this life 14th June, 1911, at my...

Thought I had just posted a reply when I sent the thanks, but obviously didnt press button. Sorry. I have puzzled over the ? of Hannah's parents names. There is a Hannah Taylor dying in NSW in...

In Dec qtr a Henry Taylor married Hannah Young in Chippenham district (Vol 8 Page 491). Wondering if anyone can tell me the names of the parents of this couple? Thank you very much.

Thank you Arthurk. I am in Australia, so the library isn't an option. I will consider the free weekend bit. They were both uneducated, labourer/general servants, and I have their parents names...

Thanks for checking. Wish folk would put up their source material if they are going to make statements. Thanks also for tip about illegit birth surname.

Also, the website which said they married in London, said in "St Brigid's. They were both Roman Catholic. Are you aware of such a Church?

Well done with the Grant/Quillinan combination. Must confess I simply ignored "grant" as too far off the mark. Should have looked at the wife section. Appreciate your help very much.

Hello, my quest is to find the marriage of Cornelius Gralton (Irish) marrying Honora Quinlan (both her names have spelling variations) about June 1855. They are supposed to have had a child called...

Thanks Grisel, for the death record. Urusla was born 1874 so the date is good. Appreciate that you checked further. Family always believed she moved across to Canada but may be not. I check if...

Thanks Pam, yes I have struggled to search in Scotland. I am from NSW Aust, where easy records have probably spoilt me. I have Ursula's birth cert, Williams date of birth and their marriage from the...

Would it be too much trouble for someone to check whether any children were born to William and Ursula after marriage? William returned from WW1 in July 1919. They were living at 16 Sutherland St...

Appreciate the date information. Thank you.

Would anyone be able to look up a marriage record for me please. From war service record a William McIntosh (born 1881 Leith to Janet & John) married Ursula Johnston (Ursula spelt lots of ways, and...

Sorry Deano7 I haven't progressed any further at this stage.

The witnesses on the wedding certificate were N Bond and F Carlson, none of whom fit with known family members. Very strong handwriting, probably male I should think. Elsie called her 3 children...

Oh dear everyone - when I look closely at the marriage certificate, Elsie's mother was MARGARET EDWARDS (deceased). Where I got Elizabeth from, defies all logic. So very sorry to be wasting...

Oh dear, another door shuts. Thank you to everyone for helping at least eliminate possibilities. Best wishes to you all.

No help with wedding witnesses. But death says she had been in Aust 58 years, therefore 2 years old when she arrived in Aust. as she died in 1964 aged 60. I have done my best to look for...

Thanks Lesley. Elsie's marriage and death certs which I have, both state parents Elizabeth and Thomas Edgar and she was born in 1904 in Sunderland. Both dead when Elsie married, and Thomas was...

How about the parents of an Elsie born in Durham Sept 1903 10a/427. I think Durham in the same region. Also family myth that mother, Elizabeth, died before Elsie left to come to Aust, and there...

Well thanks Jomot1, that certainly eliminates the family I am trying to trace. Back to square one, I guess. Elsie's death certificate in 1964 said she had lived 58 years in Australia and she was...

Not sure if I am in right Forum or not. I would like details of the parents of an Elsie Williams born Sunderland 1902 vol 10a page 756. I am hoping mother is Elizabeth and Thomas Edgar Williams. ...

Sorry for that last post Grisel. Have my dates muddled again. Of course he arrived in 1823, so quite likely the same chap. Better eat breakfast!

Thanks all for still wondering about my problem. I have checked for an obituary on Trove. George died on 25/12/1833 in Maitland, where he had amassed a fair bit of land. His eldest Aust born son...
