Sharon, Looks like baby Bernard was not listed & Henry was the male child

What happened to Henry M BOHLE?

Forget what I said on the ship as there is absolutely zilch

Only found that it was 840 tons and went from London to Sydney and arrived 18.8.1862

Usually I can find more but it probably sums up this whole family - difficult to find!

Liz,

    Henry M Bohle was the male child listed, Bernard doesn't seem to be, but don't think a little baby needed a ticket? Sharon

Sharon,  It seems like a little baby was just ignored or the transcribers couldn't read the record

These passenger lists are sometimes very difficult to read because of faded scrawled writing on the original ships manifect

The only think I can think of is if you can get a copy of the surgeons report of the voyage if it still exists and that may have further info on this family

State library, state archives & Mitchell library are 3 to check for surgeons reports as they are kept in different places but they have them listed on computer in the family history section of State library, macquarie st. sydney

I am sure it is them with also the Mary Flanagan listed which clinches it

Poor little Bernard - not listed on his arrival and disappeared from the face of the earth for his death!

Sharon This means those other Bohle family in Australia are also relatives of yours,Via Henry M Bohle.I KNOW you said there was no link to them in an earlier message.

Henry m Bohle must have been the Proper son of Alice then.

 

Mystery Deepens

Sharon i dont know what you think on this but my money is on Mary Flanagan Being the Mother of Bernard.Why else would he be named Bernard fitzwillam.

 

I think the Fitzwilliam would be his fathers name.

 

The clues lead to that

 

Mike

Hi Mike,

           yes Mary Flanagan, could be his mother. What I did notice when I re read the will last nite was this. Alice BOHLE says "Igive my son Henry Mackinnon BOHLE, I give my daughter Elizabeth BOHLE, I give my sister Mary FLANAGAN, I give my adopted son Bernard FITZWILLIAM. Which brings me to the conclusion his birth name was FITZWILLIAM.Do you think there is any way I could see hospital birth records for the day he was born??Since it has been over a hundred years. Remember you said 18 Garby St, was a hospital??. I think this is my only chance. Otherwise this line comes to an end...Sharon..

What i will Do for you Sharon is , im going to Kew tomorrow.I will Find out for you.

If this is Possible.

I know you Can find Hospital records ,But not sure if you can find at Kew

 

Mike

Thanks Mike,

                   I appreciate that. I am thinking I may recognize the mother of him if given a choice of names. And I am also thinking perhaps the family may stay as blood, if we are related in a round about way...Thanks Sharon 

Hi Sharon,I have some good news and some bad news

Now Sharon you will need to work out who is who

This was found in the India Office History Search

 

Mike

 

 

you can find that info on this site

 

Mike

 

Hi Mike,

            Ok that is a blow, never mind. I thought as much. I had found the India Office, it is brilliant isn't it, the info is quite detailed. I did contact them and they said the  LDS research branch could order me the microfiche for these, so I will arrange that.I did come to the conclusion Henry Bohle was married before Alice FLANAGAN, and Julia is the child of that relationship. I found a death for this first wife on that site, it was under BHOLE.Thanks I really appreciate what you have done for me. I will keep digging you never know when & where I will find some little tidbit, that may explain things..Cheers Sharon.

your welcome sharon,SORRY I COULD not help find The adoption for you
