Lynda,

Spent a week trying to find your William and Mary Coad. There are just too many of them.

Need more info. What Shire or Parish were they from in England? Date they immigrated to Ausralia? Any children and/or date of their birth?

Hello Lynda,

I realise your post is more than 3 years ago, but I might have some information about William Peter Coad that may be helpful. I am researching Peter Coad and Rosevia Halls, I submitted a thread on the coad surname message boards last year and tedcoade sent me a link to rootsweb which has a lot of information about the coad family. It is possible that William Coad (William Peter Coad's father), who married Mary Ann Hince in queensland may also be the same person as my 2nd great grandfather who was born on September 1855 at St. Germans Cornwall England. He married Matilda Russell on 11 December 1876 at Wallaroo SA but deserted his family shortly after John Leslie Coad was born on 02 January 1881 at Moonta SA. According to the family tree on Rootsweb William then met and married Mary Ann Hince in Queensland. They had a son William Peter Coad. William died in St Peters, Sydney during 1910. I have found a little information about William Peter Coad in Trove the National Library website but it would be absolutely great to contact a living member of his family. My grandma, whose mother was Matilda Coad, Williams 2nd daughter, told the family story that William Coad disappeared while prospecting for gold in the Snowy Mountains.

I Would very much like to hear from you.

Kindest Regards, John

Hm I have a note that William Coad died of TB 1910. Is it William Peter (the son by second marriage) that died prospecting?

Hi Joe,

No, William Peter Coad, the son by a second marriage, did not die whilst prospecting but his father William Coad is supposed to have died while prospecting, which is the family story told by his first family in Moonta South Australia.

I suspect that William Coad who married Mary Hince is the same person who married Matilda Russell and deserted his family on 28 June 1880. This information can be found in the South Australian Police Gazette of November 10, 1880.

The SA Police Gazette entry for Nov 10 1880, describes William Coad as:

a miner, aged 24 years, height 5ft 7in. or 8in., light brown hair, reddish whiskers, full face, eyes sunken and one rather lighter in colour than the other.

He was arrested by Foot Constable Hampton at Moonta for deserting his wife.

Now the family story passed down to my Grandma was that William had died in the Snowy Mountains region while prospecting for gold ...

I am beginning to suspect that such family stories are a euphemism for a husband deserting his wife because William's father-in-law William Russell is said to have died whilst prospecting for gold in Victoria.

But looking through Trove, I have found newspaper articles where Mary Anne (Norah or Nora) Russell nee Ryan, had been granted destitude board rations in 1861, there is no mention of her being a widow like the other person in the same article who received such rations.

Although, another family story about Mary Anne Russell nee Ryan, is that being Irish, she is said to have seen Bill Russell's ghost about the time he is said to have died.

Unfortunately, I have never been able to find any evidence of a William Russell dying on the Gold Fields of Victoria.

So, I have a strong suspicion that William Coad moved from Moonta to Queensland where he met and married Mary Hince and had more children.

I would really like to contact William Coad and Mary Hince descendants to see if they have a photograph of William Coad. It would be useful to see if there is a family resemblance to John Coad, his son by his first marriage.

I have a photograph of his son John Coad, the one who was charged with attempting to murder his wife Mary G. I. Crowe.

I haven't had much luck so far contacting a descendant of William Coad and Mary Hince but hopefully this post may help in that direction.

Cheers,

John
