[gibbo]

You had a wally Steve:2fun::2fun:

Found another Steven's on the same ship as Orlando and his wife incoming to Sydney. Maybe a brother or cousin? This W Stevens would be to old to be Orlando's kid

Name: W Stevens
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1871
Age: 18
Port of Departure: London
Port of Arrival: Sydney, New South Wales
Voyage Arrival Date: 27 May 1889

[gibbo]

His wife was on the Lammershagen with him when he arrived. That would explain why i couldnt find a marriage for him after he got here... he was already married to her

Don't know how accurate it is but here you go Steve:

http://worldconnect.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=2878123&id=I158

Of course I could be barking up the wrong tree. :2fun: Name of spouse looked a possibility.

I guess your chap didn't die in 1872.

I can't find the marriage for the one you are chasing.

 

[gibbo]

Hii Dave,


And the one Steve is looking for was born in England as well

Births Jun 1855
Stevens Orlando William Bicester 3a 522


I've been looking to see if there is anything in the Aussie records of the Orlando we got info on to confirm its the same Orlando as the above birth. Pity the passenger list didnt have place of birth or native place on it.

 

[DaveHam9]

Yes. I've searched and all I found was a different Orlando.

I can see no Orlando in 1881 in England and no death in England so it looks as though it's the one born in 1855. Age is a bit out in the 1877 shipping record. I can't find a birth in England 1850-1860 for any Alaide.

I can see not deaths of children in Queensland that would give the mother's maiden name.

 

[gibbo]

Yes. I've searched and all I found was a different Orlando.

:2fun::2fun: I found a american cyclist with the same name here in Australia for a what seems to be a riding competition in 1904:biggrin:


For Steve's fella how does this sound.

Born in England
Migrated to Germany and married. Could explain why no marriage in England.
Come to Australia
Went back to England
I cant find a death for either him or his wife in England. Maybe went back to Germany or there abouts
