Find Ancestors

To MEgirl and Gai.
The information that you both have found fits with what i know.
Jessie Ainsworth Stark was my grandads sister.Jessie married a Frederick King in London and they had a daughter,Dorothy.After the untimely death of Fred jessie married George King in Brighton (uk).
The age difference you see is indeed correct George was much younger than his bride Jessie (lucky Jessie)
You have found where they went when they left England and what happened,thank you.
It appears that not so long after being back home in England George died.
If i pass my e-mail address to you are you able to e-mail me the information to me please,the newspaper report on Jessie`s death would be very interesting.
Also,how can i order a copy of Jessie`s death certificate from Austrilia ?

You also may be setting me in the right direction in finding Jessie`s
Brother and his wife who i think must have emmergrated from the UK as i cant see any record of them after marriage.
Regards,Kevin

Kevin, A tip for the future - give all the information you have at the beginning. It saves needless searching. I have been researching these details for hours today. We have been chasing down a son, who doesn't exist when all the time it was a very young husband.

The South Australian Birth, Marriage & Death Directory can help you with a copy of Jessie's death certificate - no online database. Go to http://www.familyhistorysa.info/births-marriages-deaths/ which will give you the details of how to apply for the certificate.

For the newspaper article go to http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/result?q=Novis&|-decade=191&|-year=1914&|-monthInYear=February|monthInYear% click on heading Sudden Death, you will go the the story on the next page and it has a print option on left hand side.

Cheers.

Megirl.
Thank you and `sorry`
Ill take a look at those links.
Kev.

Your forgiven, just remember in future we need all the facts when you post on here. Have a good day!

thankyou.x

sorry i missed you, looks like it is all under control... :) good luck!

Im still here. Are you in the uk?

No Australia. It is 6pm here...should be organsing some food soon I suppose!!! Isn't it wee hours of the morning in the UK now?

its 11.21 am here.
i will be asking for more help on here as i think that jessie`s brother may have gone out there also,but im off out soon so wont post it just yet. may i pm you with the details please ?
Kev

ah I went the wrong way (added hours on instead of subtracting them!)

yes sure, no problem. happy to help if I can.

p.s. my procrastinating over dinner has paid off - hubby's going out to get Chinese ;) yay!

We had Chinese tonight - I knew if I stayed on here long enough the master would get the hint :-)

Why doesn't that ever work for me as I reckon I could be lying on the floor dying and I'd still get the "whats for dinner". I only have to mention the words family tree and they eyes roll and the ear plugs go in.

We had lamb chops, potato bake and crunchy coleslaw for dinner.

I'll have a look tomorrow night for you Kevin if no one else has found any more information for you.

Getting late here and it's an early start in the morning for us even on though it's Mothers day.

Gai

Lol MEgirl and Gai - and I can certainly relate to the eye-rolling thing!

:D

Yes, Cherilyn a lot of that plus fingers in ears!!!! Here she goes again with the family history - no enthusiasm whatsoever, lol :S

Still looking for Walter Charlie Stark - can't find anything in the Aussie records, will keep looking.

MeGirl,

I spent a couple of hours searching this morning and I found a Chas W Stark but couldn't find his wife. Then I discovered that Kevin has another thread and there are a number of replies on it in regard to Walter Charlie Stark.

So I'm not searching anymore as they were all looking at American records which I don't have access to.
