Find Ancestors

Thanks Susan, I will go and order the certificate

I use Ancestry but the Birth is from the BDM of WA

www.dotag.wa.gov.au

Thanks Jacqueline - also wonderful :-)

The travel info I posted is from the same source as the record I sent you........the transcription on FMP of actual shipping records

Thanks Sue,

Well, looks like that will be his birth date. Can I ask where you found it? As I would be interested in purchasing the certificate

You are wonderful :-)

Sandy ..that is the only birth in Perth WA for a Sidney E Bailey

I cannot see a travel for him going back to UK....Yet.

I have to go and get dinner or the OH will divorce me.

be back later :-)

Sue

I believe that the travel info would be correct, and now has me wondering why he would go back home and then come back to Australia?

Any clues as to where the travel info comes from?

And could it be that we are looking for a death in NSW?

Susan, the birth info for BAILEY SIDNEY E Male - at a glance looks to be correct, just not the dates, but maybe we have them wrong, or Sidney didn't know for sure?

Is this the one you want Jacqualine..

I will attempt to send the image to you via GR.

Thank you, thank you, thank you

:-)

I will sandy ,I cannot find a Death Reg for him in Perth but there are a lot of cemetaries in Western Australia ,I am also looking at the Electoral rolls but nothing so far. :-)

Susan, thank you, yes I think it is very strange too. And now that I know Samuel was in Wa ( I am in QLD) I can look further as well. He may well of remarried, who knows??

But I am super happy now that I know where my grandfather (Sid) was born. I was told recently by my Aunt that Sid travelled to WA looking for his roots, but a family member asked why? when he was born in NSW? so, as you can see it is a little muddled, but thanks to Chris I have a launch pad.
I would be so grateful if you looked further into this from WA as well.
Thank you again
:-D

Thanks Chris

(might be worth Cherilyn having a look round, could be more!)

Chris :)

edits (apologies Susan, didn't know you was a local, lol, hope something turns up!)

You are very welcome Sandy but Chris found the entry in the Trove newspaper,I find it strange that I can't find a passage for them over to OZ and there is not Birth reg for Sidney .
I live in WA Sandy so will keep looking. :-)

Do you know if samuel had a middle name .?

best if you have just one thread for this family Sandy otherwise research tends to get repeated :-)

I have shivers down my spine, how do I thank you - Chris, and Susan, and for all that posted and tried to help. A huge thank you!!

I know this does not solve the mystery, but it is a huge break through. You have no idea how happy this makes me.

:-D :-D :-D

Great find Chris

Will post this on thread for refs for us

granted.
Samuel Bailey, who petitioned for a dis
solution of his marriage with Nina Louise
Bailey, said they were married in Man
chester, England, in 1907, and came to
Western Australia in 1910. They went to
Broomehill, where petitioner took a con
tract for clearing with two brothers who
were farmers, and respondent took a posi
tion as housekeeper. When the contract
was completed in about ten mon'ths peti
uoner decided to go elsewhere, but respon
dent declined to go away, giving no rea
son. Petitioner went to Avondale andFix this text
wrote to his wife repeatedly, but she did
not reply. At a later dete he learnt she
was pregnant and he saw her at da private
hospital in Perth, where she had a son. of
whom he was not the father.. A rec6ncilia
tion was agreed to, hbut just before leaving
the hospital respondent renounced it and
returned to Broomehill. Since then she
had '!ed a second child, but he did not know
who was the father.
His Honour granted a decree nisi, re
turnable in six months.
