KING family. Known to be around COOLAH,RYLSTONE,PARKES areas 1912-1922
Our KING family we are looking for were PATRICK and MAUD KING. Originally from England, they arrived in Sydney Australia on the 14th November 1912 on the ship "Irishman". With them were 7 children Charles, Bridget, Margaret, Michael, Patrick, Eveline and James. Little James was very ill and saw a doctor in Sydney before they made their way to Coolah, where sadly baby James died and is buried there. After this we have no idea what happened to the family as my grandmother Eveline who was only 2 at the time was put into care not long after this, as she had no memory of coming to Australia with a family. She died 7 years ago age 92 never knowing any of these details.We have only just discovered this information the past few months and are very keen to put the puzzle together. We have found a few interesting pieces. Another bit of information we have found is their father Patrick's death record at Rylstone, NSW 5th December 1922 and is buried there. On his death certificate his daughter Bridget was noted as an informant of his death and under her name is written The Club House Hotel, Parkes, we presume she worked or lived there. What happened in the 10 years in between these 2 significant dates escapes us. So if you are also searching for the family of Patrick and Maud KING and their children please contact me as we are very anxious to find out what happened to their Mother Maud and the rest of the children.
