Block Wall - William Douglas, Longford Tasmania

Thank you for allowing me to join your group. I have hit a brick wall not far into my search of 'my' William Douglas who lived in Longford Tasmania and dies at the age of 40 in 1878. He married Eliza Mathewson.

I can find no birth records. Marriage record does include parentage etc....there is another tasmanian William Douglas with parentage but the dates don't marry up. My journey keeps going.

Making conections

The more information you can give about the people you mention, the more chance there is of someone else connecting with your family.

Dates and places of births, deaths and marriages all help to place families.

Professions also help.

'My great-grandmother mother was a Douglas from Montrose' does not give many clues to follow up! But a bit of flesh on the bones makes further research possible. But if we are told who she married, what his profession was and where the children were baptised, then we can get to work.

Maybe it is time to update the information in your profile?
