Hi Cherilyn,
We always wondered if she had two living sons as one was John Dunston and the other John Donaldson, it was probably a mix up between Dunston / Donaldson somewhere along the line, mistakes were made weren' they?. We think Arthur scoullar adopted him.Not too sure on that one. Some of the family have Dunston and some Donaldson in their childrens names. Thankyou so much you have been a great help. I appreciate it a lot.
Kind regards.
Carol.

Hi Carol

Happy to help if I can; not sure how much of the detail you already have. Poor Eliza had a bad run of it.

Eliza Jane NANKERVIS married Samuel DUNSTON in 1853 at Independent Congregational Church in Melbourne. They had a son named John DUNSTONE in 1854 in Collingwood (reg 3225). A Samuel DUNSTAN died in 1854 aged 21 in Melbourne (reg 5278).

Eliza DUNSTON married WmTEMBY in 1856 (reg 191). They had a son named Wm Hy in 1857 in Collingwood (reg 4210, TENBY); sadly, he died aged 2 in 1859 (reg 3002, TIMBY). Both show mother as Eliza NANKERVIS/NANCURVIS. Likely death for Wm as Wm TENBY in 1858 aged 23 (reg 3364).

Arthur SCOULLAR married Eliza Jane TINBY in 1860 (reg 246). They had a daugher named Annabella in 1861 (reg 266) and another, Amelia, in 1862 (reg 20131, as SCHOOLER), mother as Eliza Jane NANKERVIS. Both born in Collingwood.

No reference to John Donaldson SCOULLAR sorry, unless John DUNSTON was renamed later. Seems unlikely since he was already 6 when his mother remarried Arthur!

Hi There,
We are so hoping you can can help.

Eliza Jane Nankerves came to Australia round 1853 I think she was born in Cornwall England 1839. She had 3 marriages her last to Arthur Scoullar they married in Collingwood Victoria. She had two children by one of her first marriages one little boy not living. but we are not sure what happened to the surving one did arthur adopt him or not/? They went on to have a family. The came to N.Z. at some stage. We have a great grandfather John Donaldson Scoullar but don't know how he fits into the picture. he could be the little boy.

regards Carol

Hi Cherilyn
Thanks for your help. Unfortunately I am not having much luck trying to trace his parents.
Kind regards
David

Ah, here he is:

The South Australian Advertiser, Saturday 1 February 1879
HANSON.—On the 28th January, at Ballarat, of heart disease, Lewis Hanson, late of Woodville, aged 70 years.


The Victorian death reg (3560) gives his age as 66 but sadly no parents are mentioned.

Hi David
Do you know when he died? From newspaper notices at NLA Trove it appears he was deceased between 1872 (when his daughter Sarah married) and 1882 (when his dson James married). His wife Eliza (nee SHANNON) died in 1865. They lived in Woodville.

HANSEN / HANSON Lewis, Eliza SHANNON married on 1841-08-03
HANSEN / HANSON Lewis/Louis (crew?) arrived 1837-10-16 on Solway from Hamburg [Source:7,26,41]
HANSEN / HANSON Lewis/Louis, Eliza SHANNON, parents of child born 1842-06-12 named Catherine Ann at Albert Town

Eliza's arival with her father and siblings:
SHANNON James (w?), Geo, Jane, Isabella, Eliza, James arrived 1838-10-11 on Surry (Surrey) from London [Source:2,7(also T NAUGHTON, L HANSON),20,23(2,1),26,41]

Marriage cert (1841) or, failing that, death cert would be your best bet.

My great great grandfather, Louis Hansen, was born in Heligoland in 1813. I understand at that time it was a British possession. He later settled in South Australia where his name became anglicized to Lewis Hanson. I am trying to find out the names of his parents. Can anyone advise?

David

I did wonder about that!!! :) Happy to help!

Thank you Cherilyn, you are a gem. <3

Kate and Errol married in 1927, and daughter died in 1927, presumably in infancy, how sad.
Kate lied about her age (according to her daughter!), so she has unreliable ages all over the place!

Karen

Archie died in 1975 aged 74 (Numurkah) and Frances died in 1972 aged 75 (Wangaratta). Both as DREWRY.

Kathleen died in 1973 aged 76 in Ballarat, so her age does not fit above arrival - but all else fits? Her parents were Chas & Susannah. Kathleen and Erroll had a daughter named Frances who died in 1927 in Williamstown.

Hi Karen - almost missed it, his surname spelled differently:

Family Name: REID
Given Name: Frances
Spouse Family Name: DREWERY
Spouse Given Name: Archie Walter
Registration Year: 1926
Registration Number: 10474
Event: M


Family Name: JENKINS
Given Name: Erroll Sylvester
Spouse Family Name: DREWERY
Spouse Given Name: Kleen
Registration Year: 1927
Registration Number: 9498
Event: M

Miss K. DREWRY aged 24 arrived in Victoria in May 1913 aboard 'Port Macquarie'. Also on the same ship is Miss F. REID (19) and Mr A. REID (also 19). Does that fit?

JENKINS ERROLL SYLVESTER : Service Number - VX78715 : Date of birth - 17 Jun 1906 : Place of birth - LAVINGTON VIC : Place of enlistment - CAULFIELD VIC : Next of Kin - JENKINS K

Hi
I am looking for marriages in Victoria.
Archie walter Drewry and Frances Reid, sometime after 1924,
and Kate (Kathleen) Drewry and Errol Sylvester Jenkins, also after 1924.

Also trying to find Kate and Frances (who were friends) coming into Australia sometime prior to 1924, which is when they arrived for the second time. I am told by Kates' daughter that kate and Frances arrived together, and stayed with Frances' sister in Victoria.
Any help pinning these details down would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Karen

thanks Elizabeth!
