| Personal Notes: |
|
Alexander James Chessor married Margaret Fitzgibbon in Queanbeyan in 1872. She then remarried a William Munders on 14th July, 1893.
I would like to know her status at the second marriage. Was she Widowed, Divorced or Abandoned? The reason I ask this question is I can find no death or burial details on Alexander in any state of Australia. Sunday Times Perth 5 Mar 1916" CHESSOR (James Alexander), who left Goulburn, N.S.W., about 36 years ago, and is believed to have come to this State." ie to Western Australia. So he left in about 1880? I am thinking he could have done a ‘runner’. In those days very few people owned their own houses and for a man it was simple to get on a train in Goulburn as “John Smith” and get off the train in Melbourne as “John Brown”. Evening News 6 Nov 1875 and Sydney Morning Herald 6 Nov 1875 plus serval others " PU B L I C N O T I C E. I hereby give notice that A. J. CHESSOR, Collector, is no longer in my employ. All future accounts to be paid under order. G. J. WELLS (late Stanford and Co.), No. 1, Hunter-street, Sydney." |
This public tree has about 60,100 people. Every person in the tree is related by birth or marriage to at least one other person in the tree - no strays. The people in the tree come mainly from four projects.
If you find errors - anything incorrect (dates, places, wrong parents, wrong children), and you have evidence, I would love to fix them. Or, if you have information that would extend my projects, do not hestiate to contact me on the email link below. I do not publish information on living people - which means I'm not much interested in people born after about 1920, and I usually distrust material from before about 1770 without extremely good sources. g.bell@bigpond.net.au When you click the mail address abouve, if it does not open your email app, copy the address on the screen.
