I am trying to find any census info on the above. I have not found any Census from 1891/1901 re Richard Wigham Phelan born
Newcastle On Tyne about 1887. I did find some info on freebmd only as well as a marriage in 1911 to Elizabeth Orr. I have also found some births for Phelan/Orr but could not find a Lesley Phelan born between 1911/25. I am helping a friend with this search. Can anyone help also with a bride for Richard born 1857
please.




Regards Marion

Thankyou. It all helps.

This must be how the name Wigham fits in.

Thankyou all so very very much for your help. I will pass this all on. These Phelans are my friends Ancestors who I work with. My friend came here to Australia when she was aged 2 years. She is now keen to get a Family Tree happening and joining Genes.

Thanks All.

Hi

I have just read through the threads of this 2008 post and presume you are friends with my cousins Angela and Barbara who live near Sydney? I have just joined the site and am still working out how to find my way around. Some of the information above is new to me and useful as I try to trace our history
