HI Andrew.I live in Sydney but have been unable to find any information on the following women.
Lily Fawkner born 1872 [supposed in Boston M.A]according to 1881 Census for Falmouth Cornwall. Her father Thomas Jennings Fawkner came to Sydney 1879
I have found Lily in Sydney 1892 on bdm .
She had a daughter Elsie Madaline Fawkner born 1892 in Sydney Benevolent Home .Placed this child in a home in Bathurst 1893. From d.o.c's I find that Elsie was discharged from Bathurst in 1910.[father Thomas Baxter]
No trace of either person after years of searching .May be they were in some other part of OZ but I cannot find them
Thanking you Trish

Hello Andrew, thanks for your kind offer.

This might be difficult to find a marriage detail. Could you please look up David Napier and Elizabeth Martin's marriage around 1860s?

Elizabeth was firstly married to Patrick Daley.

Also please look for a immigration list of David Napier around 1850s. His ship should be "Sea Witch" something like that.

Regards, Steven.

Hi Andrew, could you have a look for a marriage or death for Benjamin Spark(e)s?

He was born about 1812, arrived in NSW as a convict in 1832 (life sentence), and obtained a conditional pardon in 1847.

I can't find anything at all for him in the NSW, Queensland, Victoria or WA online indexes, so I thought it might be worth trying SA.

Thanks a lot,
Mary

I am happy to look up birth marriage and death records in South Australia. Can find most records between 1842 and:
1928 for births
1937 for marriages
1972 for deaths
I also have a very small amount of information pre 1842 and some of the immigration lists the government managed not to lose.
