George ORD & Catherine DOWNEY

[DaveHam9]

Hello,

Death 2 Jul 1874/C0577 Ord Catherine - Peter Downey - Jane Goodfellow

David ORD E/R 1903 & 1905 Herbert

Death 1 Jun 1906/C0530 Ord David - George - Catherine

So far I can't find age at death for David or a burial.

I can't find a death for George in Queensland.

I'm guessing at the moment George and Catherine married outside Australia and arrived with children.

Sounds Irish to me. :biggrin:

 

[DaveHam9]

A bit of luck.

[gibbo]

Nah he just turned up in the papers so figured i would give him his 15 minutes of fame in a FH forum :biggrin:


Ok what about this for a death for ole George

1885/B17963 George Archibald Orr
- ** born Scotland aged 62 years

Nope not him neither by the looks. This fella is actually ORR and has a daughter Christina

 

[DaveHam9]

The Google spider has already got him.

George was born abt 1821, if I have the right family in the census.

 

[gibbo]

Oh i like this one, see what you think.

1875/C762 George Ord
father David Ord
mother Agnes Weatherstone

David and Agnes are names of 2 of George and Catherine's kids..

Theres a couple of other Ord's in there as well.

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks gibbo.

Finding more than I expected.

It's not an easy name to search in shipping records. PROV limits the output so you get ALLFORD and BEDFORD... first and no ORD.

We'll have to wait for the census look up to narrow it down. EDIT: Not found in 1861.

Looks as though brother David ORD b. abt 1814 also arrived. And another brother James.

George and brother David are at Esk in 1859.
