Thread: DUGAN, Ena Belle b. abt 1904

Hello,



I'm looking for the birth of Ena Belle DUGAN about 1904 to parents Henry William & Isabella. I can't find any of them in shipping records to Australia so I have no idea yet where Ena was born or where and when her parents married.



Ena married Oakley Charles RICHARDSON in 1947 in Queensland.



I've searched the usual free sites without luck so far. I've considered various spellings of the family name and even Edna variation.



I hope someone has better luck finding something.



Thanks.



Regards,



Dave

hi dave



i found this birth



Births Mar 1898 (>99%) DUGAN Edna W. Derby 8b282



hope it helps

Hello milford_lass,



Thank you very much. So far I can't find a marriage for Henry William & Isabella. It's probably in Ireland. I'm wondering if the birth of a William Hamilton DUGAN in the same RD in 1904 might be a clue to Isabella's MS



Marriage registration has Ena and death notice has Edna and age 71 in 1975. The marriage certificate would cost me A$35 so it's out of the question for someone on a limb of my large tree. Still can't find them in shipping records.

Dave

sorry dave wrong birth date i keep looking

Hello milford_lass,



I've been given information that Ena may have been born in NSW about 1918 so I will arrange a look up on the NSW Federation Births to 1918. It will take a few days.
