Hi are you wanting to go back or forward with your research?

And what information do you already have?

Save research things you already have.

Kind regards

Surnames: Wolfe, Pitkin, Laver
George WOLFE married Julia PITKIN 1882 Qld
Julia WOLFE nee PITKIN died 1884 Qld Listed parents: William PITKIN and Julia LEVER on death registration. I believe that whoever record the death got Julia's mothers surname in correct - you mention LAVER I believe that is what is should be. On the FreeBMD found a William PITKIN married a Julia LANER Sept Qrt 1859 District: Bethnal Green Vol: 1c Pg: 661 (again I believe the surname has been mistranscribed should be LAVER).

So I decided to check further for any births of PITKINS in Bethnal Green between 1859 to 1870 and found about 6, two of which maybe a match for Mary and Julia.
Births Mar 1861
PITKIN Mary Ann Bethnal Gn Vol: 1c Pg: 338

Births Dec 1862
PITKIN Julia Bethnal Gn Vol: 1c Pg: 321

Mary WOLFE (nee PITKIN) died in 1927 in NSW. Person registering death gives her father as Richard. So if they knew for sure who her father was then she may not be Julia's sister. I think at this stage the only thing to do would be to purchase the two marriage certificates of George WOLFE to confirm who his wives parents were.

Death Reg #: 6224/1927 WOLFE MARY 63 YEARS REDFERN
Father: RICHARD Mother: no name District: REDFERN

The Sydney Morning Herald (NSW : 1842-1954) (about) < Friday 1 April 1927 >

Like you I have been unable to find a birth for Violet Gertrude. Just her two marriages BELL & MADILL and divorce etc.

Hi Tania
Thank you so much for your help, i will try and get the marrige certifcates to bring these two girls together... i did find the two girls Mary petkin and Julia petkin had arrived on 27th oct 1881 in queensland, one 16 yr and the other18 yr..Pitkin was misspelt i was thinking.. as for Violet i remember meeting her dad saying she is my aunty so i thought she might have been born by Julia 1884 as it is the same time as Julia died..
Kind Regards Robyn

Hi Robyn

It looks like Violet reverted back to her first married name after her divorce from John MADILL. This looks like her death registration in NSW in 1956. Whoever gave the information believed that George and Mary where her parents.

18806/1956 BELL VIOLET GERTRUDE
Father:GEORGE Mother: MARY District: BURWOOD

Hello
I have been doing some research on my father's family tree. He is descended from the Mackay Wolfe's.
I am planning to spend a week in Mackay in mid May looking for information and relatives.
I would be happy to meet with the authors of these posts as we share these relatives. My father is Peter Wolfe, son of Thomas George Wolfe. Dad was born 1 January 1934 and has just celebrated his 80th birthday.
