Mike, thank you for your continued help. I have searched LDS, there is a John PARKINS listed, but on viewing file seemed he went to America. I appreciate the information you have given me, & will certainly use it.

The Playford site is wonderful, I found it via google some time ago. Great to have the photos of my gg/grandparents Richard & Lydia. In the large family photo of their wedding anniversary, I see all the babies & wonder which is my grandfather.

Wouldn't it be so helpfull if all our families had their own website

Gai

Hi Gai Yes your certainly right there with what you said.What was strange was i had the Playford rootes site.In my Favourites for some reason.and the Weld one.There are some rootes family on that if you use the search.

Nice when Pics are Shown.

I made up a Webpage about 3 years ago,On some of my family.Cant Finish doing it because i lost the details of how to.

But a friend found it and sent me the pages,Ive come a long way since doing the page.Take a look and you will see what i mean

 

Mike

 

Mick, its wonderful, I really believe our family's lives are more than names & dates, I was so excited when I found Lydia (nee ROOTES) & Richard Playford's grave, not long after, I found Lydia's parents grave, my ggg/grandparents grave James & Anna, I was able to return the day before Christmas Eve to leave violets for Anna, Christmas Day was her 203rd birthday.

I enjoy finding stories about my family, & adding them to my family tree. I feel closer to them & also feel I know them!

When I started looking for my family, I thought it would be a short journey, my immediate family very small. I certainly was in for a suprise, & know it will take a very long time, but having the stories to go with names, I hope it will encourage an interest in my grandchildren.  

Thoroughly enjoyed your family site.

Gai   

Thank you Gai,t was a shame i could never Finish it,But at least i have it now.

 

When my old comp went bust Lost everything,I had backed my tree up luckily enough but lost about 1000 found family Members,I unfortunately never re bzcked the tree up after finding the others.

So a little tip.If yoy find new members about every 3 to 4 months use a disc to back it up

Mike

Gai can i ask you is this the same fuller family.If i is they were from Jut outside Threadneedle street in London.Registery in Kensington

Mike

Mike,I didn't know my g/grandmother's name until I ordered a copy of my grandfather's birth certicate hoping to gain information on his parents. For a long time all I had for his mother was Ada, possibly Ada  Maria, got more info from from certificate. With the help of our wonderful Liz & Charlee on NSW site they found Ada Maria Fuller, then researching our BDM etc come up with the information. Then Charlee & Liz found a couple of FULLER trees, as yet I haven't really researched them. I have been trying to find Ada's husband John Parkins & have also been searching for other gggg/grandmother Florella STURGEON, & her parents, who I now have names of James STURGEON , & wife Sussannah Violet Boyce. Expecting transcripts any day, hoping I will find out exactly where in Ireland they came from.

The FULLER'S you spoke of could certainly be part of the family:

    living including my grandfather)  she gave birth to a total of 14 children   

2  Louisa Jane FULLER b abt 1860 England, m1878, d 1893 Newtown Sydney

Gai i found the 6 trees in rootsweb with Florella in

 

Mike

Gai What i can see of the sturgeon family they were also found in antrim,down and tyrone.No Florella is listed in the Foundation records

 

Mike

Mick, would you like me to change thread to Sturgeon, I received transcripts of Susannah Boyce & James Sturgeon's death certificates today. Susannah Boyce was born abt 1823, parents David Boyce (occ. farmer)  & Mary Williamson only info of birth, & marriage is Ireland.

James Sturgeon, has almost no info on life in Ireland, father ...Sturgeon,( market gardener) mother unknown., born Clare, Ireland abt 1822

Children listed on certificates, certainly 2 deceased before they left Ireland,  Edward 6 years deceased,   Sarah  Jane 2 1/2 deceased, & young Florella (her name is never spelt correctly, on passage lists Prunella & Pruella, even on her parents D/C listed as Yorella, & Florilla, Eizabeth Jane & Thomas where born in Ireland.

Gai 

Hi Gai,If you Require us to help With James,I will Ask Marian To run a New Thread for you

SO dont worry

 

Mike

Mick, I would very much appreciate any help I can get for the Sturgeon, but as James has no parents listed, only wife Susannah Boyce has parents names, but only Ireland for her birth & marriage.

Gai

Hi Gai if you check i have already found the Family its under S
