I am trying to find the date and place of death of Eliza EDDENS (formerly WAGHORN and STAPLEY nee FROST). Eliza was born in 1810 in Ilminster, Somersetshire, d/o Thomas and Elizabeth FROST. She married three times
1) Daniel WAGHORN in Tonbridge Kent in 1830
2) Joseph STAPLEY in Tonbridge Kent in 1833
3) Higginson (aka Robert)EDDENS in Sydney Australia in 1846.
Last known when she gave permission for her daughter Mary Ann EDDENS to marry Henry SMITHERS in Grafton NSW Aus in 1862. Mary Ann was actually Mary Ann STAPLEY but was known as her step-fathers name Eddens
She had two sons by Joseph STAPLEY (1) Thomas born 1840 (2) William born circa 1841/1842

- Edward William Kidd & Elizabeth Betts / Hawthorn - Adelaide -- Jennifer Ruth Walker, 04:32:33 04/13/08 Sun (87.112.34.204.plusnet.ptn-ag1.dyn.plus.net/87.112.34.204)
Hello
I wonder if anyone is related to the above couple. Edward William was born in Cawston, Norfolk in 1863 and married Elizabeth in Adelaide on 26 September 1890.
Elizabeth's biological father was George Betts who died in 1875 at Wallaroo. Her mother Ellen Cracknell then married William Hawthorn in Wallaroo in 1876 when Elizabeth was 3 years old. Elizabeth was sometimes known as Hawthorn.
Edward William emigrated to Australia in 1881 with his father William Kidd born 1827 Cawston, Norfolk. He left his wife Susan Crane born 1837 and 10 other children behind in Hevingham, Norfolk.
Edward William Kidd is my great grandfather Frederick Kidd's brother who moved from Norfolk to Yorkshire in the 1890's.
I would love to be in contact with any relatives of Edward and Elizabeth.
I have a list of children I think are their family, but there is some confusion because an Edward William Kidd son of George Kidd and Matilda Jones married a Lydia Lang in Hindmarsh on 21 September 1898, but I don't think they are related.
Hope to hear soon
Kind regards
Jennifer

Hi
I'm researching the Australian leg of my family tree, but like with everything else hit the proverbial brick wall.
I'm trying to find much as possible about Kenneth Hallowell Brown who died in 1980 in New South Wales B: 1917 in Reading in the UK, but no reference to where he died, and was buried or cremated, does anyone know ?. I can supply more information where needed.
Also chasing his ex-wife Doris Brown nee Hodgson B: 25/12/1919 in the UK, but passed away in 2005 again in NSW more than likely in the Sydney area.
One more thing very little information on their son Michael (Hallowell?) Brown who unfortunately committed suicide from the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the 1970's. There is no information on that at all nor about any subsequent burial or cremation.
I hope someone out there may help or point me in the right direction.
Thank you in advance.

Dear Kim Ingram,
I saw your request for information about Yeo's of Coonamble.I may be able to help.
My Gt Gt aunt Franes Ann Carpenter b1798 Devizes Wiltshire UK, married James Trimby Burfitt also b UK. In 1833 they sailed for Au from England on 'The Ellen'. They settled in Bathurst NSW. They had 7 children one being Eliza Burfitt b1837 who married a James Yeo. They had 7 children, one being Earnest James Yeo b1865. He married in 1897, in Coonamble, one Elizabeth McIntrye
b1884. They had 11 children, one being Gladys Yeo b 1909 married Robert Stevens.I do have some information about Yeo's in Coonamble. I came across this because I am researching my Gt Gt aunt Uncle Rev James Ingram, who was President of Trinty College Oxford. He was a famous Anglo-Saxon scholar, (there is more about him on the net)He wrote a will in 1845 in which he names my Gt Gt aunt as living in Bathurst NSW and married to James Burfitt. Small world! I would be pleased to send you more information. Jill

I've run into a few road blocks on tracking down some information on a few of my relatives. So I'm hoping someone might be able to help or point me in a new direction to research from the USA.
Information
ARCHIBALD OPRAY 1802-1875 & ROSANNAH FALCONER/FAUKNER had 2 sons that immigrated to Australia. There names are: JAMES 1837-1883 and WILLIAM 1840-1886. They board ships in Scotland to Australia. There might have been another child, son or daughter, but I've not located them.
JAMES OPRAY 1837-1883 married ELLEN SUSAN MC ANILTY OR MCNULTY 1840-1882. They had several children, the ones I'm needing help on are:
AMY EMMA PURVIS OPRAY 1886-1914, she married (1895) CHARLES SYDNEY BARNES 1875-1948. They both died in our around the Sydney,AU area. That is all I know about them, except that Emma had a child ARCHIE out of wedlock and he is to have died in or around Sydney as well.
ELLEN HELEN KATHLEEN OPRAY 1870-1942 married JOHN JORDAN in 1926 in Newtown NSW. This is all I know about their marriage and life. I have no idea if they had children, occupations, etc.
JAMES OPRAY born in 1859, in Melbourne, but that is all I know, name DOB and parents.
WILLIAM OPRAY 1840- 1886 married AGNES GRAHAM 1843-1925. They had several children, I'm interested in ARCHIBALD 1886-1923, WILLIAM 1880-1953.
ARCHIBALD OPRAY 1886-1923. He married ELLEN RUST OR QUIST 1879- 1952, they lived in Melbourne, Vic. region. I can not find any children or mention of not having any?
WILLIAM 1880-1953, I know he lived in NSW for a while, but do not know where he died, if he married, etc.
Thank you for your help. Linda

I am looking for descendants of William Wallace and Mary Ann "Annie" Archibald. William and Annie had about 7 children, most of whom were born in the Sandhurst area of Victoria from about 1863. William died about 1893 and Annie then married my great grandfather Edward Bresnahan. They had 5 sons. I think some of the Wallace children would have been young enough to have been living with Annie and Edward in Richmond, Melbourne. The 5 Bresnahan boys were born before Annie and Edward were married. I do hope someone in the Wallace Clan is interested in family history, and will contact me. I would love a response.

Seeking information on James CEELY and Isabella GARDENER. James was born at Kent, England and arrived in Australia in 1853. He headed to the goldfields around Castlemain, Taradale, California Gully etc.
He later moved to Narrandera NSW where he died in 1895.
Apparently James left a family behind in England.
Any help or contact with descendants would be great.

I have been researching the Starr families in Australia for the past 30 years and in doing so have amassed quite a lot of information. The main family I am at present researching came from East Sussex. There were 5 male members from this particular family who arrived in NSW and settled. These were:
THOMAS STARR and his wife LYDIA MUDDLE - arrived 1838
THOMAS STARR and his wife HANNAH HEAD - arrived 1841
WILLIAM STARR and his wife SOPHIA GIBBS - arrived 1839
WILLIAM STARR and his wife ELIZABETH ARNOLD - arrived 1839
JONATHAN STARR and his wife ANN SMITH - arrived 1838
Of course there are many families who have inter-married into the Starrs, so if you feel you have a connected to them, please make contact with me and we may be able to share information and help each other.
Among some of the inter-married names are - FORD; FRANCIS; NAPPER; SOUTHWELL; DARE; CATT; GRAY; MONTGOMERY; ARCHBALD; TURNER; FARDON.
One family settled in the Camden area; another down towards the Canberra region; another went to the Hunter River and from there to the Grafton area; there was another branch who seemed to be around Bourke and the far western areas of NSW.
Please do make contact.
Sincerely,
Min

I'm trying to trace the family of Robert (Bob) Hill. He was a private in the 60th Battalion, and I think his service number was 2479. He lost a leg and while in hospital in the UK struck up a friendship with my grandmother, Mary Blackstock, known as Blackie, who was sister on the ward. He wrote a series of letters to her, and sounds like a lovely bloke. I'd love his family to have the chance to read the letters, and I'd love to know how his life turned out after he got home, and if he married his girl.

His parents were Horace and Sarah Gunns from Norfolk.
