Sandra Report 15 Sep 2008 12:03

I am trying to locate the birth and marriage of my maternal Great Grandmother Harriet. She would have been born c1870, is supposed to have married Peter McGowan. My Granfather Frederick William McGowan was her only child and she came to Australia with around c1900. I cannot find the births for all 3, the marriage or the arrival in Australia. She MIGHT have had a sister Louisa who married a GODDEN and George Smith GASKELL before dying in NZ in 1938. I believe her daughter was Dorothea Constance GODDEN.
I would love to be able to track Harriet and Fred particularly.
Fingers crossed,
Sandra - Australia
