My name is Alejandro José Díaz Vásquez, I born in Santiago Chile. My grandmother was Elsie Price b1899 in Enfield, MiddleSex, England her parents was George Henry Price b1872-1875 Kentish Town, London, England (1901 Census, but other census place he on other birthplace) and Edith Gould b1872 North Elmham, Norfolk, England and her parents was James Gould b1833 Bintry, Norfolk, England and Martha Shirley b1831 Hindolvestone, Norfolk, England...

I'm very interested in make contact to Delina Price, because of their records she become my cousin.

Best regards.

Alejandro

I RECEIVED THIS EMAIL TODAY AND UNFORTUNATELY, I DO NOT HAVE AN EMAIL ADDRESS FOR DELINA PRICE WHO SENT THE EMAIL BELOW. IF  YOU KNOW OF DELINA OR IF SHE READS THIS POSTING, PLEASE GET IN TOUCH WITH ALEJANDRO.  I LOST ALL EMAIL ADDRESS, ETC. WHEN OUR COMPUTER CRASHED AFTER THE 2002 DATE BELOW. 

Thank you, Betty Shirley

Info from: DELINA PRICE

My grandfather Victor George PRICE was born in 1906 to the parents of Edith GOULD and George Henry PRICE. They married in 1894 at the age of 21. George Henry was born in 1872 and his parents remain elusive. Edith GOULD was born in 1872 in North Elmham, Norfolk, England, to the parents of James (known as Harry) GOULD and Martha SHIRLEY. Harry was born in 1833 in Bintry/ Bintree, Norfolk, England. He was the son of James GOULD (b1797, parents Nicholas and Sarah GOULD) and Charlotte NOBES b 1799, they had five children.

Martha SHIRLEY was born 3rd May 1831 in Hindolvestone, Norfolk, England, to Francis SHIRLEY b 1802 and Sarah BALLS b 1805, they married in 1821. According to an IGI record by 1840 Francis SHIRLEY had remarried, to Eliza HART and emigrated in 1848 to New Zealand, HOWEVER... I have a copy of the 1851 census for Hindolvestone, Norfolk, England and Francis SHIRLEY was registered here with his wife Sarah and 4 of their 10 children, including a new name Rebecca SHIRLEY b 1844.

This is as far as I have got. Other bits of information that have passed through the family are:

Edith was sent to London to learn dressmaking. Her father, James(Harry) GOULD, was a carpenter. Her mother, Martha SHIRLEY, was a servant. Martha's father, Francis SHIRLEY, was a Glover. Their is a story of Martha's father, Francis SHIRLEY, remarrying, hence the other marriage. But then the dates do not add up.

So in my quest for knowledge I am now researching PRICE London and Enfield areas, GOULD, NOBES, BALLS and SHIRLEY Norfolk areas. I will continue to add to this information and will add the siblings of each family at a later date.

I hope that my information will help you or hopefully, someone, somewhere, will make a connection.

Kind Regards

DELINA PRICE.


Nov 8th, 2000, Roger Shirley sent the following email....

Dear Betty,

I have just read Delina's email to you concerning the Norfolk Shirley's. The Francis SHIRLEY that Delina mentions married Eliza HART in Bedford, Bedford England on the 13th Oct 1840.

On the 5th March 1848 they are among the passengers on the "Victory" that arrived in Port Chalmers, Dunedin, New Zealand and are accompanied by there daughter Margaret Frances SHIRLEY and also another family by the name of GIBBS who were cousins of Francis SHIRLEY.

In August 1849 Francis & Eliza have a son, William Otago SHIRLEY. The birth certificate (I have a copy) states Francis occupation as "Shoemaker"

The next mention I have of this family is in 1878 where the son William Otago SHIRLEY is married to Jane H THOMAS in New South Wales, Australia. It appears the whole family moved from New Zealand to Australia. Francis SHIRLEY died in NSW in 1884 being 72years old and his daughter Margaret died in 1909 having not married. (her brother William O also died the same year)

William O and Jane went on to have 4 boys - Francis L T, William R, Percy W and Alfred H G. So far have only found one marriage that being of William R. Francis L T died when 20 years old and I have not found anything on Alfred or Percy who could have moved to other Australian states.

Hope this information will be of some help to Delina.

Regards

Roger Shirley
