Hello Everyone,

Is there anyone doing research on the SLAVIN family. My ggrandfather was Francis Slavin who married Betsy England in Wellington NSW in 1875. (The wife's family ENGLAND is large and live at Neurea / Baker's Swamp, approx 12 miles out of Wellington on the Molong Road) Their marriage certificate states Francis' age as 28 and his parents as Edward Slavin and Maria Callaghan, it states at he was born in Melbourne Vic. I have no luck with this guy.

I have no record of birth, no record of death. I have checked with funeral directors records through historical society without success. He is not buried in Wellington, even though his wife was. 

Betsy and Francis' last child was born in Wellington area in 1890. Their children were Edward, John, Arthur (grandfather), Theresa, or Thurza and Emily (1890). I am waiting for birth certificate of Arthur...i must say, eagerly.

It has been strange that Francis has never been talked about in the Slavin/ England family. My grandmother Lucy England (b.1898) married her first cousin Arthur Slavin (b. 1878) did not know anything about Francis or had heard any conversations about him, even though Francis was her father-in-law and also Uncle through marriage)

Hi I am Heather Laverty and when I was on here in 2009  you were such a big help in tracing my family, I haven't seen any recent posts so was wondering if you are still helping people

. I am trying to find the death of my Great Great Grandfather Joseph Harward Pankhurst who I believe was killed in an accident in South Australia in 1882. I thought I had his death certificate but turns out it is the wring one. The one I have died in Victoria in 1865 but Joseph has been appearing a lot in trove after that date and it is definitely   him as one article is  where he is stopping my great grandfather Walter Harward Pankhurst from marrying as he is under age. I have my G G Grandmother hospital records  and it is said she has been a widow for 13 years  which fit in with the date 1882 for his death but can't find any record  of it.  , would appreciate any help m thank you. Heather Laverty
