Find Ancestors

Just to let you all know I have received a copy of John's will today. I am even more confused as he claimed on tax returns he was unmarried. I have found out he was a fruit farmer, growing bananas. He was taken into hospital a year before he died and all the recorded infomation from the public curater is in the file with his will. Takes a lot of reading.Their is no mention of a wife or children, I wonder if he was devorced in another area. I still haven't received the death certificate. Will let you know if I find anymore information.

Sorry I haven't replyed to your last messages I have been on holiday.
Yes Christine they are my family the address should read Wick Road Farm. I have found the farm and visited it last year, it has changed a lot since my family were there but the family there now were very helpful.
Dee , I am still waiting for the will and death certificate I hope they come soon, if I find anything else out I will share it with everyone as I have had such a lot of help.
Thank you both again for your help.
Edith

Hi Edith,

I am really curious about that 106 page Will ..(wow!!!) - Has it not arrived yet?

There must be SO much info in there it will take you for ever to add all the new info!

Do let us know when it arrives, and the death cert.

Dea x

I have just checked date of birth for your John Price Williams and they are not the same person. I searched on name.
So sorry.

CHRISTINE,
Thank you for the infomation, I don't know anything about James Williams so will have to try and trace him.
Thanks again
Edith

Thank you, it seems my family in Australia is getting bigger every day. I will research all the information and hope I can connect them to my family tree.
Edith

Hi Edith

I found these whilst I was looking at some Queensland research.

Alfred Henry married Violet Llewellin Hall in1907
possible children: Ivy May 1907, George Edwin 1910, Rosey Edith 1914.

I hope this comes in handy

Deborah

Deborah,
Thank you for the information.Alfred was not a brother but could have been a son or another relative. I will find out if he was a son on John's death certificate when I receive it, but I will follow up your information as well. I didn't have the info on the burials so it will be worth a try.
Thanks again.
Edith

Hi Edith

I've found your thread interesting. And I have a bit more information for you. If you go to the Brisbane City Council website and lookup grave search- John Price Williams is recorded as buried in Toowong Cemetry. but more interesting is that Alfred Price Williams is buried in South Brisbane, age 74 years in 1951, must have been John's brother and therefore there is the potential for another line of your family if he had children?

happy searching
Deborah

Vanessa,
I have sent for a copy of the death certificate and the will of John Price Williams. I hope to learn something from them. It would be lovely to find some living relatives in Australia who could help me trace further back with my tree. You have been so helpful with all the infomation you found for me, so thank you again.
Edith

Edith,

I am more than happy to have helped. I will look through my records to see if any of the children remained in Victoria for you and pass it on if I find any thing.

Hope you enjoyed yours days away.

Regards
Vanessa

Dear Vanessa,
Thank you for all the help, I do feel I am getting closer to tracing my family. I have sent for a copy of John Price Williams death certificate and a copy of his will, which is over 160 pages long, so hope I will learn something from that.
Edith

Dear Edith,

Sorry I cant find any more on the victorian records. I will look on the passenger shipping records to see if I can find which vessel he came over on, unless he worked for his passage then I will not be able to find him.

Good luck
Vanessa

Vanessa,
Thank you so much, you are a star. I am now getting hopeful of progressing with my tree.
I am away for the next 4 days but please send anymore info you find and I will pick it up on return.
Thanks again.
Edith

Edith,

Have found yet another child for you

George Price b 1890 South Melbourne

We now have a tally of at least 5 children.

I will keep looking

Vanessa

Dear Edith,

Have found at least 3 more children for John and Florence. Details are:

Alexander Reuben b 1892 South Melbourne, d 1892 South Melbourne aged 2 months.
David George b 1889 South Melbourne, d 1889 South Melbourne aged 3 months.
John Malcolm b 1897 South Melbourne.

Will do some more research for further info and let you know.

Regards
Vanessa

Dear Edith,

Have found further info in relation to John Price and Florence, they had at least one child, Ada Selina Florence born 1887 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. I will check my other discs to see if there were any other children and let you know the outcome.

Regards
Vanessa

Dear Edith,

I looked up my CD of Victorian BMD and found one John Price Williams born England married Florence Edwards in Victoria in 1886. Florence was born in Victoria, Australia, unsure of where exactly. This would coincide with his coming to Australia. It looks like he may have come to Australia via Port Phillip or Geelong, Victoria.. Hope this is of some assistance to you.

If you want a copy of the marriage certificate google BMD Victoria Australia to get the website to order same.

Good luck with your search
Vanessa
