1 child

1. Olivia Gabel 1895 #6823

I was interested in James Michael Gabel, who married Olivia Enderby, which led me to Charles and Ellen Kerwin.

Charles Gabel died aged 37, so Ellen would possibly marry again.
I did a search for Ellen Kerwin and the most likely match was Murphy.
Another search led to William Murphy of Cork, wed 1878 #1944 to Ellen Kerwin.
They registered what looks like three daughters, Minnie 1879 #2618, Minnie 1880 #8847 and Mary 1882 #14360 who died aged 9 months. The births took place in Fitzroy and Carlton, inner suburbs of Melbourne.

Ellen's surname is Kerwin, Kewn and Kirwan - a common happening with unusual names.

All the above was because I could not find Ellen's death! Buying the marriage certificate would cost $Aust 17.50 and the web address appears to be http://www.justice.vic.gov.au/

The last detail comes from Page 44 of the Nov 2002 issue of 'Australian Family Tree Connections' which calls itself the independent monthly for Australian and New Zealand Family Historians. You are probably familiar with it, has good articles on solving family problems.

If she is 'our' Ellen, there should be details of her previous marriage, and her parents names and her birth place - a lot of treasures if the idea is correct.

Now I have found
Mary Ellen Gabel died at Cheltenham, 1919 #5925 aged 84 daughter of Cath Hanrahan and Patrick Kirwin
which gives a birth year of 1835 - close enough to be 'our girl'.

The first name Mary had put me off.

Gallienne

From on Tue, 21 Feb 2006

Hello Elizabeth,
I had just stumbled on your website and thought I might be able to tell you a bit more about the Gallienne family.
Nicholas Gallienne 5th who came out to South Australia aboard the Trafalgar in 1850 is my Great Great Grandfather I believe. He and his family departed Plymouth aboard the Trafalgar 26 Dec 1849.
I was also able to find the family on an 1841 Census for Guernsey.
Louisa Gallienne did not die. She was aboard the Trafalgar.
The names I have on board were:
Nicholas, Rachel, Marie, Frederick, Sophia, Louisa, Lucrece, Elise. Elise aged 3 died at sea on the voyage on 27 February 1850.
For more information look at: Waanyarra web site
Lousa married Thomas Lewis at Dunolly. They moved to Mt Gambier area and are buried there.
They had some ten children. Nicholas Frederick born 11th Oct 1876 was one of them. Nicholas married Margret Woodrow from Cookes Plains SA on 13/8/1907
There were three children. Leopold Jack (My Father) born 1907, Ada Agnes (Queenie) born 1908, and Frederick Victor James (Ted) born 1910

Louisa Gallienne :Born 22 Sept 1837 Les Issues Channel Islands
Married Thomas Lewis 11 Mar 1857
Died 11 Aug 1930 Mt Gambier S.A.
Thomas Lewis : Born 1829 Bakingstoke UK
Died 19 July 1915 Mt Gambier S.A.
Thomas's parents were Edwin and Mary both from Bakinstoke Hampshire UK.

I have an old photo which I believe is Louisa Gallienne and can Email you a copy if you like.
I hope this is of interest.
Regards,
John Lewis
