Thanks Val.

I thought that one would be really tough.


Mayfield is Newcastle so that looks out.

Manly is a seaside suburb just north of Sydney.

Ok, Collaroy is just north of Manly.

Probate took a long time.

My grandfather's took 20 years.

Death WALL JOHN 11508/1949 JOHN - JANE SAUNDERS – MANLY

Normally in NSW index the maiden name is not included, so is that a middle name?

No marriage in NSW, Qld. or Vic. index.

Thanks Geoff.

I'll see what I can add to that. Family members 15 ? and over usually listed with the singles.

This is the Assisted list from NSW Records

WALL John 53 Aberdeen 1885 Sydney and family. Arrived October Reels 2143, 2496
WALL Jane 50 Aberdeen 1885 Sydney and family. Arrived October Reels 2143, 2496
WALL Anne 11 Aberdeen 1885 Sydney and family. Arrived October Reels 2143, 2496
WALL Ellen 8 Aberdeen 1885 Sydney and family. Arrived October Reels 2143, 2496

Cornwall - Carpenter - Methodist

WALL John 23 Aberdeen 1885 Sydney arrived October Reels 2143, 2496
WALL Margaret 22 Aberdeen 1885 Sydney arrived October Reels 2143, 2496
WALL Phillis 19 Aberdeen 1885 Sydney arrived October Reels 2143, 2496
WALL Jane 17 Aberdeen 1885 Sydney arrived October Reels 2143, 2496
WALL Mary 14 Aberdeen 1885 Sydney arrived October Reels 2143, 2496

Voyage 47 days - Total 650 equivalent to 554 1/2 statute adults

I can look up reel 2496 next week but being after 1881 and a large 'S S' vessel there may not be the usual details re parents.

Event Date 30 Jun 1829
Event Place St. Ives, Cornwall


Birth 1155/1898 WALL EMMIE S L - JOHN - EMMA M - BALMAIN NORTH

Sanders Lang or Stowe Lang ??

A death for John senior. ?? Probably before 1907.


There are 11 cemeteries in Tweed Shire - Banner St is a cemetery not a home address.

WALL JANE SANDERS October 9, 1907 72 YEARS BANNER St, MURWILLUMBAH

Only other WALL

WALL CHARLES June 11, 1913 59 YEARS BANNER St, MURWILLUMBAH

Can't find a notice in Trove for Jane. I'd say she would have been living with one of her married daughters.
