Harrison
Gayndah
Looking for information about my GGrandmother Ann Harrison who was married to William Dickerson Nelson. Ann was born on 1 April 1830 in Blackburn Yorkshire. I would also like to know the year they moved to Australia and the name of the ship. I have no information except the above on Ann.

tonkin on 2015-09-22 01:46:49Need a few more clues Gayndah.
Did William Dickerson NELSON and Ann HARRISON have any children with them when they moved to Australia, and did they have any children in Australia.
Gayndah on 2015-09-22 22:03:19Ann and William married in Sheffield on 21/2/1860. Their first child Maria was born in 1861 and died in 1891. Maria was born in Sheffield. Alfred William Nelson was born in 1865 and died in 1890. I don't know where he was born nor the next child Walter Edward Nelson born 8/9/1867 and died 19/11/1928. The last child was my Grandfather George Henry Nelson born 14/9/1870 in Queensland Australia and died 11/7/1950. I would appreciate any help.

Name: William Alfred NELSON.
Born: 05 June 1865, Queensland.
Father: William NELSON.
Mother: Ann HARRISON.
Source: Queensland Pioneers Index 1829-1889.
Ref: 1865/B004049.
If Maria was born 1861 in England and William was born 1865 in Australia it tells us the family arrived here between 1861 and 1865. They may have arrived in another state before going to Queensland so all states may have to be searches. It all takes time.
