you going to do a journal on Elizabeth janilye??

Well, I asked around and nobody seems to know anything much about her. The family had only been in the country a year. I can trace him but she's a bit of a mystery. I think I might put her in the too hard box for now.

Hi Janilye,
Do you know which county Elizabeth's Brixton was?
There is the famous area which is now London - but there is a litle known Brixton in Devon too - and perhaps others.........

Hi Mowse, It was Surrey (I better fix that)and husband William's parents lived in Lambeth, Surrey. William died in Castlemaine, Victoria in October 1902..Jan

Hi all, Elizabeth Ansett nee Burton from Brixton, London, Surrey. Parents did not want her to come out. That info from grandaughter to Elizabeth Mavis Ansett Graves. William Elizabeth and daughter Elizabeth shipwrecked near Cape Jaffa and walked to Portland. Ansett family thought they were lost at sea. Reunited in Collingwood and walked to gold fields. William decided to split with family going to Bendigo and went to Maldon Victoria. Elizabeth was pregnant and very soon gave birth caught dysentery and they both died. William eventually shifted to Castlemaine and carted goods for a living. Lost his left leg in an accident but still worked. Daughter Elizabeth Ansett married Richard Lemon/Lemmon. William died in 1902 profession a Gentleman. The grave is an original grave from Mt Tarrengower cemetery that was in the back corner of the Methodist Church which is still there. Survived as it was a lane. The rest of the headstones where relocated to Castlemaine Cemetery in Campbell's Creek. First White Woman to die in Central Victoria.

Ansett is spelt with one or two t's right through history Tend to think tt is the correct spelling as one t makes a different verbal and french silent. William Ansett here was two t's and on the grave was not spelt correctly.
