I am looking for information on my Great Grandfather who was Daniel Fauel Sallaway.
I am lead to believe that he was born in 1863 and died in Bourke Australia on the 6th August 1950 at the age of 87.
I do know that he married a Hannah Josephine or Maria Morrissey who died in Charleville on 15-05-1950 Queensland Australia.
They had had 2 children Norma Mary and Olive Catherine.
Unfortunately due to a fire that occurred sometime ago this all the information I can obtain.
I am currently seeking help from the New South Wales births, deaths and marriages register but they also hold little hope in me obtaining any other information as some of the spelling of the surnames have been incorrectly recorded.
Norma Mary and Olive Catherine both children are now decease.
Norma Mary died in Quilpie Queensland
Olive Catherine died in California USA.
If there is any connection to your family tree I would dearly love to hear from you.
Daniel F Sallaway’s parent appear to be Favel Sallaway and Catherine M Jennings (he also had a prior marriage to Mary Ann Cuhane). Favel was born abt 1837 and died in 1903 at Cobar, NSW
Their seems to be a name change before that (appears about the same time with my lot) Favel’s parent look to be Samuel Salloway (or Sallaway) and Francis Favel.
I will keep delving when I get a chance and will send you some links etc as well."
Samuel Aitkens Sallaway's father was John Sallaway born in 1827 in St Neots and Favel Sallaway appears to be born at St Neots as well (Favel sailed on the Hilton in 1855 aged approx 18yo) I would think that somehow this family is related.
