Find Ancestors

Of course I won't because I forgot no NSW Births after 1910 - nevermind.

Hi Pittsy

This was an easy one :-)

4198/1928 NOTT CLARENCE H [m] MOTT EDITH I [district] BROKEN HILL

I think he may have been born (and died) as Henry Clarence -

BIRTH
1630/1902 NOTT HENRY C
[father] HENRY F
[mother] EVA G
[district] BROKEN HILL

DEATH
21413/1978 NOTT HENRY CLARENCE
[father] HENRY FREEMAN
[mother] EVA GERTRUDE [nee BARBER]

Her birth was registered in 1908 -
2814/1908 MOTT EDITH I A
[father] JOHN
[mother] ALICE
[district] COBAR

Can you look up a marriage for Edith Mott and Clarence H Nott. She was born in 1907 in Cobar New South Wales and I have been told by another family researcher this was her husband's name but cannot find a marriage. He was supposed to be from the Broken Hill area which might mean also South Australia. Much appreciated - your offer is.

This might be of interest, Joy, it tells you what will be on the certs -

http://wags.org.au/o/bmd-certificate-information.html

I'm afraid not. WA certs are very pricey sadly.

WAGS (Western Australian Genealogical Society) do have some records on fiche and CD but I don't think they provide full details, like the certs do.

Just out of curiousity, how are you related to this family line?

Cherilyn, is there a way to purchase cheaper certificates in W.A.?

To confirm that they are the correct family, I will purchase one of the girls marriage certificates, also possibly Thomas' death cert.

This doesn't match with Louie's age at death as 49 in 1949. Seems a hugh coincidence though!

I can't see them in 1901 at all...

I think so, will put a query out for 1911 Census as well, see what happens!!

Ooh yes, looks promising, well done...so was Henrietta a Blackburn too?

Sorry, been out today

What do you think of this, ages are out?

Name: Louise Blackburn
Departure: 27/4/1912
Port: Liverpool
Passenger Destination Port: Fremantle, Australia
Passenger Destination: Fremantle, Australia
Date of Birth: 1904 (calculated on age)
Age: 8
Occupation: Child

same surname on the same voyage were

Annie 1901
Henrietta 34

I wonder if this is Louie's birth in the UK? It does seem Henrietta was heavily involved in promoting the child migration scheme from UK to Australia :(

"Several years ago she went to England and lectured on Australia in different large industrial cities. She was appointed matron in charge of two groups of girls who were being brought to Australia under an immigration scheme"

I wonder if the Blackburn sisters were 2 of the girls she brought back with her?

Births Jun 1899 (>99%)

Blackburn Louie Dewsbury 9b 662

It would be interesting to try to locate her and Anne/Annie in 1901/1911 censuses.

I have checked the Victorian details, but unable to find girls births or a marriage with Thos. I am wondering if the 2 girls were born to H'etta in a previous marriage or were illegimate.

Interestingly, on Thomas' death notice the 2 boys were listed before the girls, on H'etta the girls were named before the boys!! Usually, children would be listed from eldest to youngest.

There was at least 15 years between Louie and Cyril.

Just thinking
