Hello All,

I am looking for any information about my 3rd great grandparents and their ancestors in Cornwall and descedants in Australia. Peter Coad was born abt 1828 in Cornwall and he died 09 Sept 1861 Wallaroo South Australia. He married Rosevia Halls. They came to Australia on possibly the ship "MELBOURNE" during 1858.

Their children are: William Coad (my 2nd great grandfather) who was born abt 1855/56 and married Matilda Russell on 11 December 1876 at Wallaroo.

Elizabeth Coad born abt 1858 and married Thomas Rowe on 14 Oct 1878 at Wallaroo.

Mary Jane Coad born 26 September 1860 at Kooringa (now Burra) in Sout Australia. Mary Jane married John Bitmead on 26 June 1878 at Wallaroo Mines.

William Coad and Matilda Russell had three children, Eva Coad born 25 May 1877 at Wallaroo Mines (Kadina) married Albert Olive on 03 Oct 1896 at Moonta Mines;

Matilda (Tilly) Coad born 03 April 1879 at Kadina (my great grandmother) who married Charles Conrad Carlaw on 01 Sept 1900 at Broken Hill NSW;

John Coad born 02 January 1881 possibly Kadina. John married Mary Gwedoline Ita Crowe about 1905 in Broken Hill.

Is anyone researching this branch of the Coad family tree?

Any help will great greatly appreciated.

Regards, John

What I have on your family is up on worldconnect, http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/, in database "trurocoads".
It takes the family back as far as we can go. I dont have Matilda there but I think someone else told me about her - in fact I think I communicated with a cousin of yours a few years ago.

John Leslie Coad shot his wife, the transcript is in 19 Ap 1921 Argus. My colleague Eddy Roadbug holds birth certificate transcripts of his 10 children

Spoke to my Mother this afternoon she is 86 years old .. her Mothers surname was Coad. She must have been born in the late 1800's and comes from the West Coast of South Australia. My Mother grew up in Woodna ... Family name on her fathersw side was Allen. I can ask her more questions when I speak to her next .... I need to find out her mothers (my grandmothers) full name.

We have about 10 different lines of Coads in Australia. You will have to ask your mother what her COAD grandparents were called (the parents of her mother) and then we can probably work out the family.

My mother is 86 so her parents would have been married closer to 1908 based on those numbers ... she is the youngest with Clarice, Fred and Christine all older by up to about 10 years. All deceased at this time except my Mother. Her Name: Joyce Lavinia Allen born 1925. Please reply to my email address: telehold at bigpond dott comm
