Kerri, Thanks for looking, Jane

Thanks Kerri I do plan on visiting the state library when I get some time away from work. I will definitely look at Victorian history. Lucy

Hi Jane Sorry I have not been able to find any information on your Ferris family or her sister's. Kerri

Thanks for all your help Kerri, much appreciated. Wendy

Thanks Kerri for the information on the Crudgington family. Regards, Leonie

I found a fantastic piece of information for one of my ancestors this way. Kerri

Hi Wendy It maybe easier for you to get Arthur's death certificate. I think on Vic death records it should say who/if he married & children.Will need to have a look in my folder to see if this is correct. Kerri

Hello Kerri, Could you help with this please... I know that a William John Ferris b 1868 Bremhill, Wiltshire and his wife Isabel Lucy (nee Harvey) were living in 1919 at 93/95 Gouger Street, Adelaide SA. Is it possible to find out when they emigrated it's sometime between 1901 and 1919, probably after 1905. Also have an idea that Isabel's sister, Mabel Annie Harvey emigrated with them. I have a Mabel Annie Harvey b 1883 , Frome, Somerset married to William Thomas Perrett in 1905 in England. Would it be possible to see if there are any immigration records for a Mr and Mrs William Perrett or any children born to them . Hope the above makes sense and is not too much to ask. Thanks , Regards, Jane

Ok Kerri, thanks for trying for me, where do I go for newspaper obits, would you know? Wendy

Sorry Kerri, my previous request should be for the birth of the groom Donald Fraser, not Alexander. (its getting late here in Victoria)

Hi Kerri, Thanks for the info on my Fraser family, any further info you could provide would be great. You mentioned that the marriage between Alexander Fraser and Jane Jackson took place at the residence of Frederick Jackson, are you able to tie him in with Jane (bride), could it be her brother? If so, are you able to determine of they were born in S.A.? Also looking for the birth of the groom Alexander Fraser, you mentioned his father was also Alexander, are you able to see if he was born in S.A. or did he arrive from the U.K. I hope this doesn't take up to much of your time. Kind regards Marlene.

Hi Wendy No death found for a Mabel Peat up to 1985 in Vic. Perhaps check if there is an obituary for Arthur in newspaper to find out if they married. Kerri

Hi Kerri, I hope you can help. Could you please do a look up for anyone with the surname CRUDGINGTON. It's not a common name in Australia - in fact, at present there are only a few families. Any info you can find would be a great help. Thanks, Leonie

Hi Kerri, thank you for the information on Thomas Smith, no I haven't checked headstones but I will give it a go. Thanks once again Cheers Lorri.

Hi Kerri, Thank you for offering your services, hopefully you will be able to help me again. I am looking for the birth of Alexander Jackson Fraser b1876 Clare, South Australia. I am also looking for details of his parents marriage in 1875, his father was Donald Fraser and his mother Jane Jackson. Thanks again Marlene.

Thanks Kerrie. Heather

Hi Kerri Yes that was my long lost uncle, Arthur Wiliam Peat so many thanks for that. Now a bit of a long shot this one, he had a lady called Mabel in his life, now whether they were ever married or not I don't know, could you see if you have anything on her please under the name of Mabel Peat anyway. Am afraid I do not have any details about her other than the name Mabel. Thanks Kerri. Wendy
