Fr George West M Martha Sutton I don't know which part of UK they came from. Mary Ann is my Grandmother. My mum doesn't know much about her mothers side. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi here is the information you need to obtain the birth certificate

20152/1885 WEST MARY A GEORGE MARTHA E RAYMOND TERRACE Buy Now

If you go into NSW Birth Deaths and Marriages web site you will find the entry. It is cheaper to access the certificate through a transcription agent. Joy Murrin is a good place to start. Google the name.

You may already have that info.

Was David John Sansom's father's name William by any chance???

and did they live on Cabbage Tree Road Williamtown NSW

If any of this matches you may like to go into the National Australian Archives site, into collection, then records search and put SANSOM into the search. It brings up a few entries about land acquisition at Williamtown.

Archie's record of death

80278/1972 SANSOM ARCHIE WILLIAM DAVID JOHN MARY ANN NEWCASTLE Buy Now

It is not possible to search for births after 1908. However you are able to do a electoral roll search for the years 1930 and 1936 which will tell you where these people lived and who lived with them.

And it would make matters so much easier if I just stopped explaining how to do the jolly thing and went and did it!!

OK I hope you are not in Houston.... because we have a problem. Stupid here does not know how to change a jpeg file so it can be highlighted, copied and pasted.

There are about 40 good citizens with the family name of Sansom living in the Raymond Terrace district of Newcastle NSW in 1930. This list includes David and Mary Ann and Archie and George and whover else.

Information is accessible on the Ancestry Australian electoral rolls.

Over to the cleverer brains on this here thread.
