Hi and welcome, Christine.

Cherilyn and Valerie are unrelated members of this site who help out with searches. (I think they're both in Australia so they know their Aus records.)

The person you want to talk to is Teresa who started this thread four years ago -- whose great-grandmother was Isaac's half-sister.

I have a feeling she is still around and would check her 'my threads' (link on the left) for new messages and see this thread, but to be sure, it is better to send her a private message. She will get an email notification of that. (Hopefully she has kept a current email address in her account - make sure you do too!)

Just click on her name and you will get the form for sending a message.


... I'll PM Christine too.

Researching:
You remember me. :)

Hi Cherilyn - Frederick son of Isaac (my g-grandfather) emigrated to New Zealand and died in 1941.

FYI

The Frederick Johnston BOARD who died in 1942 had different parents (Wm & Elizabeth).

I think Frederick son of Isaac died in 1900. Possible death for mother Anne in 1891. No sign of Isaac.

'Ryerson's do 'look-ups' of these newspaper notices ....hopefully you will learn of more family descendants.

Hi Teresa

The NSW/BMD (on-line) shows Isaac & Ann/e had 2 more chn:
Frederick Johnson K McK Board 1858 and Victoria A Board 1865.

Frederick J & K(C)atherine May Board had a son Douglas Graham Board 1907 and Nancy E Board in 1911 both born Lismore NSW.

Katherine May Board died in 1968 age 88yrs at Murwillumbah
Son ...Douglas Graham Board died 1969

Nancy Elizabeth Alecia Board married Paul William Barnett 1937

The 'NSW State Library' has an 'Ask a Librarian' service ...they could check newspaper death notices i.e.Katherine 1968 and Douglas Graham Board 1969... and they also check electoral rolls.
