Please provide as much detail as possible and allow for time difference between UK and Australia.

Sorry, no blanket searches/trawling.

Hi Deb
Thankyou for your kind offer. I have a Joseph PENROSE and it is pre 1840, but I would like to know if Ancestory etc has any info on him. I know the following info

Born: (According to Census) Broadoak Cornwall - 1788-1790
Spouse: Mary Olver (No. 1), Ann Mance (No. 2) about 1850
Children: Charles - 1812, Agnes - 1813, there were more.

What I need is either confirmation on his marriage or his birth. Possible parents for him could be a John and Jane Penrose??. I dont know if you will find anything (I am unsure of what a blanket search is and I apologise if this is one). I dont know much about Ancestory or Find my Past. Many thanks anyway for your offer and help.
Kind regards

Hi Deb, Would really appreciate your help please. I cannot find a point of proof for my ggfather and gfather. My gfather was born March 1861 in Southwark (this from coastguard record as I cannot find birth record. he married Mary Maria Coulter who was from Ireland and were in Northumberland in 1891 and Fosdyke 1901. My problem is I have found a Charles Bailey b.1834 of Winchelsea Sussex, son of Joseph and Lydia but I cannot find them further thru census where Charles "William" listed and I am not sure if I'm on the right track. Charles Williams brother George was called George Butler Bailey by the family and I can't find him anywhere! An aged aunt told me Charles and his wife Sarah married in 1858. Hoping you might be able to find something I can't. Am in Sydney Australia so can't wander round parish records unfortunately. Sue

I'm looking for a very elusive family in the 1891 and 1901 - the surname is RIDGUS and I believe the head of the household would have been Henry, born about 1866 and living in the Berks area.

Hi Deb
thankyou for your offer,could you please try to help us to find out what happened to my Mother`s half brother JOSEPH KEEGAN we have his birth record Jan Qtr,1928 Dist :Houghton, Vol;10a Page 844(although not his certificate) His Mothers maiden name was Dee,she married Joseph Keegan (my grandfather born 1901) in 1928 in Houghton Co Durham Vol.10a Page 663.
But that is all we know of him apart from the fact that by 1930 my mum was born (to joseph keegan(snr) and lily reynoldson,my grandmother) -they were not married !
Family `history` has it that My grandfather never believed the child(joseph) was his !! and for some reason he was brought up by grandads brother Thomas and his family.(don`t know what happened to his mother?!!!) I have searched long and hard but i am obviously no good at it because i cannot find anythig on him-he was supposedly a `bad lad` and was apparently in and out of prison ! ( no surprise there then given the start in life he had )
I hope you are able to shed some light on our mystery.
Thankyou,catherine

looking for 5 brothers, 2 of which emigrated to Aus fron England. They were Zachariah Button 1825, went to Aus 1852 and ended up in Bendigo/Ballerat. Wife was Hannah Harmon. Edward Button went in 1855 and joined his brother. his wife was Caroline Chambers. I have checked all the BMD index and census returns for uk and cannot find evidence of the other 3 brothers after showing on the 1841 & 1851 census return for 5 Ropemakers field, Limehouse, Tower Hamlets, London. Hosehold head was Zachariah Button 52. Shows on the 1841 census as Zachariah and 1851 census as LA Button .I wonder if they went as well. Their names are
Joseph Button b 1823
Thomas Button b1830
George Button b1836

Thanks
