Hi Wayne
I am still finding my way around this site, so forgive me for not replying sooner. I am thrilled to bits with your list of probable people connected to my wife's line. The 1841 census I can confirm is definitely my wife's ancestors, so that's a win.
George Fenn's father Jacob is a likely one given his birthplace and date of birth.
Thank you very much for taking the trouble to find these folks, I truly appreciate it.
Best regards
Gordon

I am hoping someone can help me with a FRANCIS BELL who must have been born about 1877 in the Tilba/Cooma area of NSW. The information I have comes from his marriage certificate to Florence Ann Pezet on 10 Feb 1902 at Milton Congregational Church, Mason St, Milton/Ulladulla. He gives Tilba/Cooma as birthplace, his parents as Richard Bell and Mary Reynolds - both deceased. But I have been unable to confirm any of these details. The marriage ended in divorce in 1914 and Francis Bell committed suicide on 6 November 1914 at Mulwala, Corowa. The death certificate gave no other details and has the age incorrect. I wonder if there might be records in Victoria which would help as the border is close to the part of NSW where he seems to have lived. Any information on Francis and/or his parents would be much appreciated.

Hi Penny,
There are "twin towns" at several points along the Murray River . Mulwala is the town on the NSW side of the river and Yarrawonga is the town on the Victorian side. The two are linked by a bridge. Corowa is further along the river, towards Albury. Mulwala was in the Coreen Shire until it amalgamated with Corowa Shire in 1955. I'm sure that if you contacted the councils or their information centres for Corowa and Mulwala, someone would be able to tell you where to find the relevant records (www.yarrawongamulwala.com.au ) ( www.corowa.nsw.gov.au )
Good luck,
Patricia

Many thanks for this Tricia: I will follow up your suggestions. Thank you for taking the trouble - because of his personal history he is very difficult to find. Penny Bell

Hi all,
I have hit a brickwall in researching my mother-in-law's family. Her father was Gordon Arthur Naylor (Taite) b. 1893ish in South Yarra, Melbourne, Victoria. His parents were Edward Naylor and Lydia Annie Woollett. Her mother was Elsie Day b. 1898ish in Ballarat, Victoria, and her parents were George Henry Day and Annie Gibson Quick. Gordon Arthur Naylor (Taite) left Elsie Day shortly after their third child was born and we do not know where he ended up. Gordon and Elsie were living in Ballarat at the time of their marriage on June 12 1920 and their three children were born there. I have Gordon and Elsie's Certificate of Marriage but would love to know more.
I have been unable to trace any further back in the family than these people and any help or someone to point me in the right direction would be a great asset.
Many thanks,
Marci

Thanks for the effort
As to Robert all is as I have it in my records except I dont know when or where or to whom he was born but yes he did marry Sarah in Christ's Church, Adelaide on May 27 1850.

However

I have Sarah arriving on the Agincourt at Pt Ade. Feb 1 1850 along with her Mother Martha and 3 siblings, Robert, Reuben and martha.

The 1841 Br.census has this family living in Union lane Guiltcross, Norfolk and notes that Martha was a widow.

Sarah Lock nee Wade died on June 19 1867 and Robert was remarried on May 11 1868 to Margaret Slattery I have information that on this marriage cert. Robert gives his father as also Robert

I will have to look into this earlier arrival for Sarah on the China

Again thanks
