Find Ancestors

If anyone does I wonder if they would do a look up for me please.

Does anyone pay for the Worldwide subscription on Ancestry? I have relatives in America and Australia and wonder if it's worth paying to upgrade.

I would say yes it is worth it to upgrade to worldwide. Do you want a look up?

Suzanne

I would love a look up please.

Would you please look up John Stephenson Allinson, on my Ancestry its showing him in the Australian Electoral Rolls, but I don't have access to it.

Is this right?

Suzanne

Having difficulty finding the Australian phone book reference. What state..what year?

Suzanne

That's the one Suzanne.

He apparently joined up for the Australian army in 1915 and I want to know where he went from there. I have a feeling that he may have stayed in Australia, but he had a family over here. I know he was discharged from the army in 1917, but then have lost track of him, but he is listed in the Australian Electoral Rolls, but I don't know when.

He is the brother of my grandad, but I hope that if I find him in Australia his mother (my great grandmother) may be with him, because she seems to have disappeared!!

This is the link to the electoral roll page if that helps.

Mmm wife called Rose, it looks like he had a wife in Aus and another over here!

I have all his Army information Suzanne, but it's what he did after then that I would like to know.

Thanks for looking for me.

Just found this with all my info on him, and it does mention a wife called Rose E, but then says he wasn't married!

Tony ( Melbourne )

Thank you for that Tony, that fits in with the info that I already have. He was born in 1886.

Not sure about his father because he was illegitimate, but he was obvious called Stephenson because John and his brother had that as their middle name.

His mother's name was Elizabeth, so that fits but not Tate as the surname, she married someone called George Wood. Wonder if she remarried then.

Another mystery then, I seem to be making more than I'm solving!

Thanks again for looking, it's much appreciated.

Just noticed that you'd put his wife's death too. Now she is a mystery! I have his marriage certificate and he got married in 1912 to Mabel Healey in Altofts, West Yorkshire, England. I can't find a death for her.

The plot thickens!!

Also a marriage in 1918 in Victoria.

Tony

So it looks like he had 2 wives, one in Australia and one in England!

Can I just ask you Tony where you're getting this information from?

Hi Maggy. Because i was born in Melbourne Vic. i naturally carry the BDM's for the State of Victoria on c.d......, as this is where my lot came to from the U.K
in the 1850s onwards..... Yorkshire, Essex, Lancashire, Wiltshire

Tony ...:>))

Aahh that explains it then! Thanks anyway, you've answered a few questions for me, but I still have lots more to solve...lol..

Looks like you have found John's mother, Elizabeth, my great great grandmother too. Wondered where she'd got to! Her husband George Wood looks like he remarried in Bridlington, England in 1911, so funny goings-on there too!!

Your welcome...:>))

plus...i have friends ( a child hood mate ) who lives in Power street Dandenong....so it caught my eye with your ALLINSON family living there in 1936.


Best wishes.

Tony...:>))
Morning here....so must away to work.

Ok, thanks again.
