Find Ancestors

All I can say is a big thankyou to all for the help I have received, I am new at doing this so hopefully doing it correct now. I have just been told by an older
cousin that James Maughan went out to Austrralia with his wife who was a
widow from we think Bradford then moved to Australia to join his wife's family
out there, the only thing is at the moment I cannot find out his wife's Maiden
name so hence cannot move on with that family. I am trying to get more information from older members of my family but the people who could have
helped me the most are sadly no longer here which is my mam and dad, so will
keep trying. Hopefully I will use the boards again for information on other family
members and I do hope I am now doing this correctly, if not please feel free to
explain what I should do.
Kind regards
Jane.

There is no need for you to apologise Jane you haven't done anything wrong. Everyone was 'new' once so keep using the boards

Glad to see you back Jane :) :-D :-D

Dont worry and keep posting......we all make mistakes, I certainly did....
Good Luck and Enjoy Family Research.....

Hi,
This is to everyone who has helped me to try and find out more about my uncle
Jimmy ( James ) Maughan who went to Australia.
It looks as if I have done things wrong and its by mistake as I have been with
Genes for afew years but only posted 4 times about different people in my
family so was'nt quite sure what to do, I am really sorry if I have caused any upset as I didn't mean to I am not that kind of person, I am really just learning.
So everyone please accept my appologies.
As to my Uncle James I have asked an older cousin of mine if he could tell me
anymore but he just remembers James marring a widow in England in his later
years and then going to Australia to join his wifes people out there, and he thinks he was a sheep shearer. I am going to see if I can findout more in the
next few days from older members of my family. If I find more I will post it on the
boards. ( hope I have that correct if not please advise me ).
Kind regards
Jane.

So again I say please do not let this put you off

<3

do it on your own,,,,
so sick of this thread it isn't funny

Kellie

Kellie,
You called Jane a nut.
Yes, it is offensive - I would not like to be called a nut, other than by my children.
However, I also hate people replying by pm - because I tend not to read them when using the boards.

Pricky,,,,
as soon as you show me an abusive comment..

Kellie

BTW....
posting a lookup then contacting replies by PM isn't looked on as good in here...
I didn't do anythig wrong.....just replied...
Jane should have replied in the forum rather than PM to everyone...

I have read the rules for this GR...

Kellie

Hi Kellie

If you are not interested in PMs, that is fine and your choice.

However, It is most members intention to encourage members to use the boards and not to dissuade them by posting offensive comments.

Please would you remove the offensive comment you made towards Jane in your last post.

Thankyou....PricklyHolly.

Hello Kellie, ermm, sometimes we get a lot of PM's, but just point the Poster to the 'Board' (with instructions how to get there, if they are not sure, as is the case a lot of times!) but as Jane replied earlier, I advised her to post all replies here for maximum help for her, and us!.

Chris :)

The1963 looks good as Kellie sent message with the arrival in 1963 and also a death of a James Maughan and mentioned what could be Esther,
well that rings afew bells Jimmy's mam was called Esther but I am starting
to wonder if that was also his wife's name, need to ask a round my family
and see if anyone can remember its awful really, but I think he married later
in life so its not looking promising to finding any live relatives if there was any.
Thanks again.
Kind regards
Jane.

(above PM from Jane, have advised her to Post on 'Thread')

Chris :)

LOL sorry cupcakes,
I wasn't being ignorant with not posting the state etc.....just the death I posted appears to be the husband of Letitia (the two who arrived in 1963) and without knowing if they are the correct people I didn't want to search/post too much information.

I did ask the OP if Letitia was the correct wife and a timeframe for their leaving England but haven't had a reply as yet.
OP states they left AFTER (her) mum died so was hoping for a clearer idea.

Anyway,,cannot see either of them listed on Ryerson Index and Letitia appears on Electoral Rolls to 1980 (so she must have died after 1980 which is our limit for searching deaths in NSW)
