Can anyone find the family connection?

A coroners report for Davies, James Hardwick 349-1919 South Australia. No details just names and numbers on a pdf. It includes details of patients at Parkside and Adelaide Asylum. Again just names, dates and numbers. His being 6th October 1919. Also includes persons dying in house fires. Sorry..

His death was registered at Norwood. I think, not sure that I saw a Charity Home there for the destitute. Wendy would know! If so, how sad.

Sadly Wendy doesn't know. I'm not aware of any such places in Norwood, quite likely it was his place of residence at the time. I shall phone those who would know later this morning.

I'm sorry, when I read this earlier I continued on reading in case someone else came up with the answer- then took off for home duties etc & forgot to reply

Hi Wendy, Is Norwood anywhere near the old Parkside hospital?

Just had a look and possible he was in Parkside, now Glenside located on Fullarton Road that runs through Norwood.

Sorry Sue, had to go again, yes you are correct. Many were sent on to Parkside from Detitute Asylum.

Norwood is a registration district created in 1882. The police coroner pdf that he was found on covers deaths at Parkside and another asylum. He may have been suffering dementia. Poor lonely man. I was going to say 'old man' but I'm getting up to that age and I don't fell old.

Just to confuse even more........but might find a lead hidden in here...somewhere

Having spoken with folk at State Library & perused many many articles, I'm thinking it would take a personal visit to State records to view Patient files. Not really up my street just now, but will contemplate same.

I have found a marriage of a Mary Davies to a Thomas James.

Thomas James of Knighton
Spouse: Mary Davies of Lanvareth
Banns date: 25 May 1787, Llanfaredd, Radnorshire, Wales

Lanvareth is very like the place that Mary Ann says that she was born. Lanvareth is on the river Wye, which would tie in with the family coming from Hay-on-Why.

 

[Archie's Mum]

So little Mary Ann may have arrived before their marriage?

 

[Chimp]

Supposedly born 1795 according to FS on her burial at Ticehurst.
So if Mary Ann married in 1806 and Bridget was born in 1795 then Mary Ann was a fair bit older than Bridget. Maybe Mary Ann is George James and siblings step sister.

Sarah James
Baptism: 13 Sep 1787, Knighton, Radnorshire, Wales
Father: Thomas
Mother: Mary

George James
Baptism: 27 Mar 1790, Knighton, Radnorshire, Wales
Father: Thomas
Mother: Mary

Bridget James
Baptism: 10 Aug 1794, Knighton, Radnorshire, Wales
Father: Thomas
Mother: Mary

Thomas James
Baptism: 25 May 1800, Knighton, Radnorshire, Wales
Father: Thomas
Mother: Mary

Or her father died and her mother, Mary, remarried.

 

[Archie's Mum]

So little Mary Ann may have arrived before their marriage?

About 4 years before! Born around 1783 if she died at 66.
So! Just to make more work for us. I wonder who Daddy was if her Mum did marry earlier!! The connection maybe?

You lot are fantastic

Or. More to the point. Who was Mum? Was she the connection with her maiden name before she was a Davies.

It's in here somewhere.....

 

[Chimp]

It's in here somewhere.....

What is?

 

[Archie's Mum]

What is?

The clue!!!! It's in your other thread.....maybe.

Well George James has a grave in the churchyard here in Knighton (I would give a link to my site with all the info, but the site is down at the moment and I can't get in) buried with him are Edward and Mary Ann Breeze.

We could never work out why they were buried with him. Maybe he being Mary Ann's half brother would account for it.

 

[Chimp]

Just to be Devil's advocate, how do you know that James would be a brother to Mary Ann's father? If Mary Anne was illegitimate he would be brother to her mother. Also, they could have been 2nd cousins or cousins once removed. Just saying as I'm going dizzy with looking

I think you was on the right track there
