Hello everyone, I am looking for any information re the family of James Graham McIntosh b. 1879 ( Army papers say he was born in Rutherglen, Glasgow.) According to his 2nd marriage cert, parents were Andrew McIntosh and Martha Caldwell but I'm not sure now after other passed on info given to me.. James came to Australia(year unknown). His second wife was Cecilia Bannister( Her parents were Henry Bannister and Mary Ann Whelan) they lived in Brisbane Qld. James and Cecilia had children in Victoria Australia. I'm interested in finding out about his family if anyone can help I'd be more than grateful.

One of the largest online sites for genealogy research, http://www.worldvitalrecords.com/, is providing open access for three days (August 11 through 13). I have just signed up and wanted to let you know.

WorldVitalRecords provides access to more than 1.2 billion names in more than 11,000 databases and includes several unique databases that can't be found anywhere else.

I am passing on the following information of interest:

Did you migrate from New Zealand to Australia in the period from the late
1960s to early 1990s? I am researching an oral history PhD at Canterbury
University on this topic and need volunteers who are willing to share their
migration stories. I would like to look at the experiences both of Kiwis who
stayed in Australia and also of those who returned to New Zealand.

Please email Rosemary Baird at kiwisinaustralia@gmail.com if you would be
able to help.

Did you know that over 100 years of the Sydney Morning Herald Archive are now searchable from Google News Archive? You can read about it here

There was a message received from Bernard Ernest Albert DARE re marriage of William James Dare but I can't see where it was posted.

William Dare married Margaret Anne Fitzsimmons at Dungog, NSW in 1871. See NSW BDM 2131/1871

The following children were born at Dungog, NSW with parents of William and Margaret

Brenda Jane Dare b 1874 (10327/1874)
William James Dare b 1875 (10656/1875)
Henry Alexander Dare b 1876 (11050/1876)
Albert Dare b 1878 (12170/1878)

The following were also born to William and Margaret but at other locations:

Arthur Stanley Dare b 1880 at Barrington (18023/1880)
Margaret Janet E Dare b 1882 at Copeland (16546/1882)
Elsie B Dare b 1883 at Copeland (18058/1883)
Aubrey C Dare b 1885 at Copeland (20253/1885)
Margaret M Dare b 1889 at Copeland (21190/1889)
Herbert L Dare b 1892 at Stroud (33932/1892)

Hope this helps

Cheers Peter

We now have over 150 members in this group. As the general comments area does not allow for nested comments we need to make use of the Discussion Forums.

A reminder for those offering to do lookups and those seeking lookups.

If you are able to help with lookups in a particular resource or area please let the group know by posting a message in the Offers of Help by SKAS discussion.

If you are seeking help with names then please poet your questions in the If you want Help/Lookups Post it here discussion.

That should enable us to keep the comment area a little less unclogged.

Thanks,
