Find Ancestors

Thanks Cherilyn

Yes that is my George you found. I will take a look at the picture of the church you gave me II'm not sure whether I've seen it or not.

I was just hoping That Jamse had emmigrated to Australia and that was the reason why I cant find him in England.

Thanks for trying

Jane

Sorry, very difficult with names such as Gray/Grey, too many possibles. I can't see his death with those parents' names. :-(

I guess this must be George?

The Argus, Monday 3 February 1902
GREY. —On the 1st February, 1902, at Malvern-grove, Caulfield, the Rev. George Grey, aged 70 years. For 48 years a minister of the Primitive Methodist Church.

It appears he was living in Garden St, South Yarra in 1896. In the 1860s he was minister at the Primitive Methodist Church in Kilmore. There is a photo of the Church here:
nla.gov.au/nla.cs-pa-http%253A%252F%252Fhandle.slv.vic.gov.au%252F10381%252F56799

He is interred at Melbourne General Cemetery.

still looking for James...

Thanks Cherilyn

George was b 1831 winteron Lincs. His parents were George Gray and Ann Holligsworth. They did not go to Australia. George b 1831 married Elizabeth Boreham1861 in Australia. George died in Caulfied 1/02/1902. Their first child Annie was born in Kilmore, Victoria in 1862.

Thankfully I have a lot of information on George but I cant find out what happend to James which is why I am wondering whether he emmigrated with his brother.

Thank you very much for looking

Jane

Hi Jane, I'll try - where did George settle? What were their parents names? Do you have a death date or place for George?

Hi Cherilyn

I'm not sure that you will be able to help me but can you see if a James Gray/Grey b 1833 in Winterton Lincolnshire emmigrated to Australia. I know his brother George did and I cant find any trace of James in England. Thank you.

Thank you so much Cherilyn - your assistance has been very much appreciated.

I was hoping to get the mother as she has been a bit elusive but the info provided helps very much.

Hi Cherilyn,



Could you please give me the bdms for John BRYER and Mary
This was back on page 37

I had not seen the age that Annie had died at... yes she certainly reached a ripe old age:-)

Liz

Hello Cherilyn,

Very many thanks for all your help - yes, Herbert William Morris b. Casino is still living, is a widower, and is in Qld.


He has asked me for help as he thought he was descended from my Morris line but as I have found this is not correct I am trying, with your help, to find his ancestors. He is very grateful to all for the kind help given in finding them.


I looked again for Sarah Bonner's arrival in both NSW and Qld yesterday but without success.


I will have to leave it for awhile now as I am about to have visitors.

Very many thanks once again.

Reece

Thanks, Helen, appreciate your support as always :-)

Cherilyn,

you do a great job and have always said if you can not help and advised people on their next move...

I also did not want to do any bad mouthing about some members but someone is making it very difficult not to get their back up and have a shot back.....I have also said before maybe these boards aren't for you

we are all here to lend a hand if we can not to play school yard games!

and I don't think it is very nice to make Cheilyn's page your sounding board!

without prejudice...Helen. (just my opinion)

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK Cherilyn.xxx

EDIT...you know who you are...you can pm me any comments
DON'T ABUSE Cherilyns page.

Seems Reece already knew about them going to NSW? Always helps to have all the info available, you're right about that.
