Hello, I am a new user so not used to site , so if I make mistakes please bear with me.
I am trying to find which brother of my husbands great grandmother emigrated around 1905 to Australia his family think. He was said to be a priest/ vicar over there ,but his family lost touch or died before sharing this info.
Joseph Pike 1865 the eldest is the most likely 1871 census living Sheffield 6years old (father Joshua Pike Colliery Deputy) Handsworth Sheffield. 1881 census still in Sheffield 16years old Pupil Teacher.
1891,1901,1911 no trace
Thankyou, Ann

Hi Ann,
Found this
The Canberra Times, Friday 21 February, 1947 Page 4
Obituary
Archdeacon J. Pike
The Ven. Archdeacon Joseph Pike died in his home at Goulburn yesterday, aged 83, after a long illness. Born at Rotherham, England, in 1865 he was educated by tutors and later entered the teaching profession. Coming to Australia in his early 20's, the Archdeacon worked with the Methodist Church in North Queensland, where he came in contact with Bishop Thomas of the Church of England. In 1893 he was converted to the Church of England and in 1894 was ordained deacon and priest. Six years later he became Canon of St. James' Cathedral, Townsville. Following the transfer of the Bishop of North Queensland to Goulburn Canon Pike (section unreadable) rector of Yass (unreadable) and Queanbeyan. In 1912 he was appointed Canon of St. Saviour's Cathedral, Goulburn. Six years later he became Archdeacon of Goulburn, and in 1930 was appointed Administrator and Vicar-General of the Diocese, which position he held until his retirement two years ago. The remaining two years of his life was spent keenly engaged in Church activites. Archdeacon Pike was married in 1892 to Adelaide Emily Williams, who died in 1937, and later to Eva Rapley. He is survived by his daughter.

Mel75, thank you so much for that site, it is most informative.
Ann, I don't know if you've had a look at the whole site, but there are a few snippets on Joseph. One mentioned that he was going on a tour of Europe, and I wondered if this was him returning with his family? There is nothing more mentioned apart from the fact the daughter was over 12.

The marriage of S.J. Curtis eldest son of Mr J. Bryon Curtis (late Editor of the London "Standard") to Evelyn Josephine, only daughter of the Rev. J and Mrs Pike, Yass, was celebrated at St. Clements' Church, Yass on Saturday September 9, the church being decorated with a large arch placed across the chancel steps, with white flowers and horse-shoes on each side, and the initials of the bride and bridegroom, and overhead was suspended a floral bell, beneath which the bride and bridegroom stood. The service was choral. In the absence of Bishop Barlow in another part of the Diocese, the ceremony was performed by the father of the bride. The bride's dress was of soft Duchess satin veiled with ninon, and trimmed with pearl and crystal embroideries. A wreath of orange blossoms and a tuille veil with a shower bouquet completed her toilette. The bridesmaids were the Misses G Ross and Beatrice Ross-Edwards (Tumut). Mr D. Marina, of Young and Mr S. Best acted as groomsmen. After the ceremony the guests were entertained at the rectory.

Hi Ann,
If you do have a name for your great uncle, could you please let me know, I will have a look for more info. Any details about him, parents, when/where born etc., when he might have left England.
Hopefully, alviegal will read this, and might be able to give you the details on when Joseph and Adelaide departed from England. (my estimates are Joseph 1880's and Adelaide 1860s)
The nla newspaper site, has lots of information from various papers around Australia. I originally found it a couple of years ago, when I was looking for details on 2 brothers who died at the same time. What I found was the drowning of the 2 brothers, whose punt had capsized, as well as the inquest into their deaths.

Anne, I've only just found this thread. I hope you're able to read this. I'm fairly new to this site.
I'm related to Canon Frederick George Williams, who was the brother-in-law to Joseph Pike.
I have written a thesis on the Canon, which mentions Joseph Pike
As mentioned above , before moving to Goulburn, Joseph worked at St Peters, West End, Townsville Qld.
Being a married man with child Joseph felt he couldn't live on the wage offered. He suggested FG take up the job.
I've had a quick glance at the thread above. The things I can add to this thread are:
Canon Williams was at St Peter's from 1895 - 1946, which is possibly the longest single stint in one parish in the C of E in Au history.
He is buried in Townsville.
The Bishop of NQ at the time was Bishop Feetham, who was High Church (candles/icons etc) while Canon Williams was definitely Low Church.
This brought Canon Williams into conflict with Bishop Feetham, who was very much High Church.
If my memory is correct, Joseph Pike was a High Church man as well.
Anne, hope this helps you and anyone else we're related to. :-)

Hi Ross and welcome to the boards
As this is a really old thread Ann might not see what you have posted.
Can I suggest you click on Ann's name and send her a private message and if she hasn't changed her email address then she will receive the message.
I have also sent Ross a pm. Gai :-)
