Hi All

I have Ancestry Australia and am happy to look for individuals aged 18 and over. Index will provide the voter's address and occupation details.
Please provide as much information as possible.

***Note the index does NOT cover South Australia


Thanks

Hi Danielle,
I am currently looking for a John Henry Allison who was born in Hotham Melbourne Australia in 1903. I am having alot of trouble tracking him down aswell as other family members.
Thankyou

Hi Kylie

These Allison's are all coming up in Hotham:

Albert Heny Allison
Sarah Amelia Allison
Lillian Camilla Allison
Harold Mannington Vernon Allison
Ethel Charlotte Allison
Elsie Flora Allison
Ellen Troubridge Allison
Henry Allison (1909)

Caroline Allison
Albert Edward Allison

Let me know which ones if any are family members and I shall get the address and occupations for you.

Found these 4 possibilities:

1936 - John Henry ALLISON at Gilbert Street Latrobe Wilmot Tasmania "no occupation"

There appear to be quite a few Allison's in Wilmot Tasmania.

And

1936 - John ALLISON 92 Queens Road H.P Townsville Queensland
Occupation: Station Manager (at the same address is Elsie Allison)

1930 - John Allison - Percy Street Ingleburn NSW - Labourer (Margaret Allison also at Percy Street)

1930 John Allison Junior - Macquarie Fields Ingleburn New South Wales - Labourer (Ethel Beatrice Allison also at Macquarie Fields)

Hello Danielle,

Thank you for your kind offer. I am trying to find address details of Henry CULL who emigrated soon after 1905 to Australia. He was a Ship's Cook and lived in Burwood district, New South Wales, where his wife Alice died in 1921. Please can you see if you can find him in about 1919/20 and again at the end of your timespan circa 1936? If you are able to help with either of these two dates then it would be very much appreciated. Best wishes.
Jeff.

Hello Jeff

1930 NSW

There is only the one Henry CULL showing at Tabbo Station Morundah Riverina NSW - Occ - Station Hand.

Just below him on the index is
Alfred CULL at Urana Riverina NSW -Occ - Labourer.

1936 NSW - same as above

Henry CULL Station Morundah Riverina NSW - Occ - Station Hand.

Also on same page:

Annie Sarah CULL - Morundah - Home duties

Jane CULL - Morundah - Home duties

John CULL - Morundah - Home duties

William Arthur CULL - Yamma Station Morundah - Station hand

Not sure if any of these are relevant. Also for NSW the index only cover 1930/1936. Let me know and I will search other states. I found a death record for Henry CULL in 1958 in Newcastle (parents William and Alice) is this your Henry?

Best Wishes

Danielle

Hello Danielle,
Thank you for your reply and for searching. Unfortunately that entry is not him, which leaves me as puzzled as ever!! Henry's wife was Alice and his parents were George and Mary. What I have is Henry married in the UK and had two sons there (Lester Hurley CULL born 1904 and Edward Harry CULL born 1905 and died 1975 in New South Wales). I do not know enough to take you up on your kind offer of searching other states, especially as Henry was a merchant seaman living in Sydney so may have just not been listed. However, it would be good if you could search the 1930s NSW electoral roll for his son Edward Harry CULL please.
Best wishes,
Jeff

Fingers crossed this is Edward (and by any chance could your Henry be Henry George CULL and known as George? you will see why I ask below)

1930 (Canterbury)

Edward Harry CULL - 100 Bay View Avenue Undercliffe. Occ - Labourer.

1936 (Canterbury)

Edward Harry CULL - 100 Bay View Avenue Undercliffe - Occ - Labourer
*** and on the next line is
Norman George CULL - 100 Bay View Avenue Undercliffe - Occ - **MARINE STEWARD** (no sign of Norman George in the 1930)

Also not sure if this is relevant but I found a George CULL in the 1930 and 1936 with occupation shown as Merchant!

1930/1936
George CULL - Kashmir, Raglan Street Mosman - Occ - Merchant
(at same address is wife Lily Margaret CULL (nee Nash d. 1954 in Ryde age 66) they married in Sydney in 1921)

Also I found 3 death records for Cull with parents names as George and Mary -
*Gus Cull d. 1958 Balmain
**George Cull d. 1950 Chatswood
(Could this be George of Kashmir, Raglan Street Mosman???)
***Fred Cull d. 1942 Ashfield

Hope this is of some help and I havent caused too much more confusion!

Hello Danielle,
Thank you for all of your hard work. It has certainly given me things to follow up on, particularly Norman George. Best wishes, Jeff

Hi Danielle - I would like if possiblr to trace where Richard Wingrove Corby and wife Mary Elizabeth (nee Davison) were in their early years in Australia. Mary Elizabeth was known as Mamie. They emigrated either 1922 or 1923 and lived I believe in the Newcastle area somewhere. They had with them a toddler called Richard. They later went on to have two more sons - James and I believe John (John died). Thank you.

Hi Danielle

I'm looking for Annie Riddell Brock, b. 1857 in Leith, Scotland. She vanishes from her hotel manageress job after the 1891 Scotland census.

I'm hoping that she washes up in Sydney by 1901, as that's where her brother eventually headed for.

Thanks
Alistair

Hello James
I searched all years and states for the surname Hibbit/Hibbitt and there were no results at all sorry. although on the NSW BDM site there is a Ronald Hibbit married to Marion Alice Morton in 1938 om Canterbury.
There are also several Hibbit deaths listed on the index.

Kind regards

Danielle

Hi Danielle, This is a very generous offer. I am looking for Alexander and Agnes Gilchrist -probably around the Paddington area nsw.- early 1900's Alexander was a bootmaker Cheers leonie

Hello Roz

Sorry the NSW role only covers 1930 and 1936 and I found no match at all. I see your Martin died in 1922 and Catherine possibly 1929?.

I have found the deaths of possible children for this couple though:

Catherine A Corbett died 1891(b1891) in Batlow

James Michael Corbett died 1948 Auburn

and

John T Corbett died 1930 Newtown

Sorry I couldnt be of much help.

Danielle
