Find Ancestors

Ethel Richardson was born c1893 in England (maybe London). She married Alexander Findlay in the UK and they had two daughters, Margaret (Betty) c1917 ?? and Joan Alexander born 8/5/1920 Maynard Road Walthamstow, County of Essex, London.
I am trying to find details of Ethel's parents and when she and her husband and daughters emigrated to Sydney, Australia.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks
Lyne Richardson

Have you looked on FreeBMD? Details of the marriage and children are there.

You will need to purchase the marriage cert. to get Ethel's age and father.

Sylvia - I think the "private" baptism means it was probably done at the child's house - maybe she was poorly. If so, then normally, when she got better, she'ld be presented in church. She couldn't be baptized again, as you can only be baptized the once. The Book of Common Prayer even has a conditional baptism service (although I forget exactly how they call it) which will only take effect if the child wasn't baptized properly beforehand.

Hi Sylvia
Thank you so much for your help.
I have found a death registration which I believe is the Ethel Mary I am looking for. If she was born in 1896 (the info that Julcoe gave me from the shipping records) then the death registration I have being 1976 would make her 80 yrs old when she died) and I recall that an elderly Uncle told me she was about in her late seventies when she died. Her parents stated on the death registration were Albert & Elizabeth. As she died in NSW I will obtain a copy of her death certificate which will confirm she is the right Ethel Mary.

Hi Julcoe
Thanks for the time you have taken to provide all the information from the Australian Electoral Rolls.
Kind Regards...Lyne

Hi Ladies
