Found 'Sir' Henry on @ncestry, supposedly the son of Henry Cartwright on BCC here:
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/fa ... ght-Family

The younger Henry born 1883, Lambton, NSW, and died 1948, Wallsend, NSW.

Several searches on Google failed to find anything about him - surprising for someone who supposedly had a Knighthood.

Apparently the elder Henry b 1836, Brierley Hill, also died in New South Wales (1927, Cardiff, NSW).

Any ideas anyone? Mark....?

Just found the NSW birth indexes- he was registered as Sir Henry (given name) Cartwright, father Henry, mother Mary, born Lambton 1883.

So it looks as though Sir was a christian name!?

Also, from the death index, 1927, Wallsend, NSW, Henry Cartwright, 95 Years.
This is supposed to be the Henry born abt 1836 Brierley Hill (according to the info on @ncestry), but the death index gives no other clue apart from age.

do you want to run anymore with this or can it be archived?

Quite happy to use my Assie resources if you wan't to now more.

Wondered if there was any way to tie Henry b abt 1836 in Brierley Hill to the one in Australia ie the father of Sir Henry

Think this can be archived - cant find anything else

Would the marriage certificate give any extra info? Or help track down a marriage announcement in the paper?
Do you have his mother's maiden name? Have you found his parents' marriage?

with a note added by someone
"The names of his parents as listed on his marriage certificate are Job Cartwright & Harriet (surname not known). I believe this to be correct as it would have been he himself filling in the form and I think he would know who his own parents are."

Should be possible to use that to connect him?

If it matters enough to you then all you can do is check the certificates for yourself. One tree has a painting of Henry snr and son Daniel attached to it.
A couple of other parents (not Job and Harriet) crop up on other trees but they look less researched.

If that note about the marriage certificate is true the he is the one on BCC born Brierley Hill

am I moving this or not?
