Find Ancestors

Hello Leonie
Sorry the NSW electoral role only covers 1930/1936. I did search these years and there were some Alexander Gilchrist's but none were bootmakers nor were they with an Agnes. Sorry let me know if you have anyone I can look for.

Danielle

Hello Alistair sorry no sign of your Annie Riddell Brock I'm afraid. I searched the electoral role and whilst there are heaps of Annie Brocks' none with the name Riddell shown. I did find a death record for a Ann Riddell Taylor in 7 Nov 1973 died in Chatswood (age 90) - though not sure if this is relevant to who you are looking for. There is also John Riddell Taylor died 7 May 1984 age 79
This is the index where the 2 abovementioned death notices can be found.

Danielle thank you that was George and his G/son I know they had same name. the first George died in 1911. I have been looking for that lead for years.
Now can I ask for you to look for a Robert Buchanan b. 1858 & Wife Martha possibly same time frame or even a few years earlier.They moved over to WA some time after 1881.
Cheers thank you Lorri.

Thanks Danielle

Not sure that this John is the correct one as he would roughly be the same age as Robert with Colin being their father.

At least i got Roberts date of birth. Colin's wife was called Mary Jane do you think she could have been called Minnie as a pet name?

Thank s again
Wendy

Hi Wendy
Yes I have a Aunt Mary who is called Minnie. I wasnt sure about the John either as in your request you say John is the father of Ronald, but later mention Colin which I believe is correct. I am quite certain the Colin and Minnie I found are the family you are looking for as the place and names both match with the service record found on the National Archives site.

Electoral Role - 1924 Moonee Ponds
Colin Harrower - 52 Dean Street. (Occ-Engineer)
Minnie Harrower - same address (home duties)

1931 - Corio
Colin Harrower - Montana, Birdwood Street. Keilor (engineer)
Minnie Harrower - same address (home duties)

1936 - Maribyrnong Yarraville
Colin Harrower - 14 Tongue Street (Mechanic)
Minnie Harrower - same address (home duties)

Hi Danielle.Thank's for looking up my Augustus Nurse.Have just been informed that another family member George Albert Nurse born c 1866,England arrived in Sydney 1920...any chance of a look up for him and any other family he may be with.Regard's,

Hello Cassidy
Sorry still not having any luck I'm afraid. There are only 2 George Nurse's coming up, one George Nurse in Western Australia who is from 1901 onwards and a Stanley George Nurse in Tasmania from 1914 onwards. I also checked the NSW BDM and cant find a death record for him in NSW either. If you can think of anything else that might help locate him just let me know.

Danielle

Thanks Danielle

That is great

Wendy

Hi Danielle.The Augustus Nurse born 1897,Cardiff,Wales, I mentioned earlier married and had a son Patrick,who survived, in Australia.The mother died ,we are told in or post Childbirth with Patrick.My Uncle from Cardiff,Wales met them in Australia in1950.

The George Albert Nurse c 1866[my great gran uncle]was a Soldier[Marine] who left London for Sydney on the "Ormonde",19 may 1920.He had a wife Lily c 1868,England and children George 1893,Percy 1895 and lilian 1902 all born England.

I know it's a tall order but this is the only info I have.
Are there many Nurse familie's in your info?.
Best Regard's,Cass

Hi Danielle,

If you could, can you check for Eliza Elizabeth Taylor? She was born in West Ham, Essex in 1891 and her maiden name was Siewertsen. She married a man named John William Joyce but was widowed shortly after. She then married George Albert Taylor, an Australian who lists his occupation on their marriage certificate as a groom. George is listed as 38 years old on May 18th 1919. They married in England and had a daughter named Lily Elizabeth Mary Taylor, born 5/3/1920 in West Ham. The birth certificate shows George as being a fur skin dresser and ex-army. Some time after this birth they moved over to Australia with Eliza's son from her first marriage, John Horace Joyce/Taylor who was born 01/06/1914.

I have been trying to trace an area and descendants for years and have had no luck. Any help you can offer will be appreciated.

Thank you

Janine

Thank you Danielle for that most helpful information on the Robert Buchanan.

Next request is for a William J Chapman wife Augusta Caroline.C.H.Chapman I believe them to have been in Grafton NSW early 1900"s.
Cheers Lorri

Hello Cass
Here are some Nurse's for you

1936 - Lidcombe NSW

Lilian Nurse, 51 Rawson Street, Lidcombe NSW. Occ - Stenographer

Joseph Albert Nurse, same address as above. Occ - Attendent

Ivy Winifred Nurse - same address.
Occ - Teacher

Emily Kate Nurse - same address.
Occ - home duties

I cant find any Patrick or Augustus Nurse and there are only the 2 George Nurse' I mentioned previously.

Sorry I couldnt be of much help Cass

Danielle

Hello Janine

i found this marriage record it maybe your John Horace Joyce.

John Horace JOYCE married Ruth Doreen BETT 1950 in Liverpool NSW

There are hundreds of George and Eliza/Elizabeth Taylor's I'm afraid. The latest role is for 1936 which is too early for Lily to be on it and I couldnt find John Horace Joyce/Taylor either so I wonder if they arrived after 1936.

Danielle

Hi Lorri

Most likely not relevant but thought the Buchanan interesting!
CHAPMAN BUCHANAN FRANK : Service Number - W70437 : Date of birth - 29 Mar 1908 : Place of birth - BUNBURY WA : Place of enlistment - NOGGERUP WA : Next of Kin - CHAPMAN AUGUSTA

I couldnt find any match on the electoral role, I searched there are hundreds of William Chapmans, only 1 Augusta Chapman in NSW. Have you searched the Ryerson Index (http://ryerson.arkangles.com/notices.php) as there is a William James Chapman that died in 1974 in Mascot age 76 and also a Augusta Chapman who died in Maroubra (not far from Mascot) in 1976.

Best Wishes

Danielle
