I have hit a Brickwall looking for the parents of William Inglis born 1862.

Query by Amoni

Hi, I have been researching my family tree for many years now. So far I have 1354 family members in my tree and growing very fast. Some of my oldest dates are 1767 on my Dad's side. Currently I am trying to research my Husband's side and have hit a brick wall in Tasmania. The INGLIS family came from Zeehan Tasmania. There must be a name change or something as the history goes cold at William Inglis Born 1862. He married Martha Theresa Statton in Fingal Tasmania 25 October 1891 and they had 7 children that I know of. I can find info on the Statton family as far back as 1802 and they arrived on the Ship Thetis 16th September 1851. Family rumour says they were Bootmakers/Cobblers as we have inherited a whole heap of tools from somewhere. However a lot of family seem to be miners so could be along those lines. I live in Mount Barker, South Australia and have lots of family on the Yorkes Peninsula so I am quite happy to try and hunt info for anyone over there. Cheers.

Hello Amoni,
It looks like William Inglis was still alive in 1921- here's a small lead for you.


ZEEHAN'S CRISIS.


EXTENSION OF GRANVILLE TRAM.

ZEEHAN, August 25.

Old residents of Zeehan are still drifting away. Mr. William Inglis, one of the best known mining identities, left to-day for the North-West Coast, after twenty-seven years' resi-dence. Returns from some of the os-miridium fields are not as good as formerly, and several of the oldest prospectors are leaving and turning their attention to other work.

An extension of the Zeehan-Granville tram is locally favoured as giving much required access to settled por-tions of the coastal land, and as essential for the development of further good grazing and agricultural areas.

This looks like one of the daughters in 1922.

Weddings
GRIFFITHS — INGLIS
(Contributed)
A very pretty wedding was solemnised in the Penguin Methodist Church on Wednesday January 26. The contractlng parties were Charles George Richard, eldest son of Mr. and the late Mrs. G. W. Griffiths, of Scottsdale, and Amy M. eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. Inglis, of Penguin (late of Zeehan). The ceremony was perfformed by the Rev. S. Churchward,
Miss Hutton presiding at the organ, and as the bride entered the church on the arm of her father, played the bridal march. The bride looked charming in a dainty frock of white foam crepe-de-chine, prettily worked with tiny white pearls, and relieved with folded ninon sash and orange blos-som. She wore the customary veil (loaned by a friend) arranged to fall over the face in a point and held in place with a bridal wreath of orange blossom. She carried a beautiful bouquet of white stocks, carnations and asparagus fern finished with satin ribbon streamers. The bride was attended by one bridesmaid, her sister Miss May Inglis. Miss Ingles wore a dainty dress of champagne crepe-de-chine and black picture hat, trimmed with hand-made flowers, and carried a pretty posy of pink flowers and delicate ferns, with the bridegrooms gift, a handsome signet ring. Miss Irene Ingles, cushion bearer, wore a pretty dress of white silk and cream silk hat, and wore the bridegrooms gift — a gold broach. Mr. Ray Osborne, of Cooee, accompanied the bridegroom as best man. During the Signing of the register Miss Doris McFadyean of Burnie (friend of the bride) sang "Because". The bridal party left the Church to the strains of the Wedding March, and amid showers of confetti. After the ceremony Mrs. Ingles entertained the guests at a sumptuous breakfast in the Methodist Hall. The table decorations (which were in the capable hands ot Mrs. Bert Wright, of Western Australia, aunt of the bride) were carried out very tastefully In pink and while. The handsome wed-ding cake was much admired. Many and many telegrams received. The presents were numerous and costly and included cheques. The happy couple left by the midday train for Devonport to spend the honeymoon. The bride travelled in a grey costume and vieux rose hat trimmed with black. The future home of Mr. and Mrs. Griffiths will be at Burnie. The bridegrooms gift to the bride was a handsome pair English China vases and the brides to the bride groom — a travelling case.

Hi Crawford,

Thankyou, you are correct all of the above you have mentioned are for my line of Inglis.

I have two possible birth dates -
1862 which is calculated from wedding certificate
1856 which is calculated from his death notice.

Throughout census the surname changes between Inglis and Ingles, the majority being Inglis and we are Inglis. We have our great grandfather's marriage certificate which has Inglis.

In the Trove - Burnie Tas death notice it has him as Ingles.

I'm trying to find any information prior to 1891 including the correct birth date.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
