Notizen bei Pieter Snip

I am not sure if the Pieter Snip you list is my great-grandfather. The information I know. I know he came from Texel and arrived in Australia at the time of the Victorian Gold Rushes. Pieter Lourrens Snip arrived in Melbourne Australia on board the Oriental in 1854 aged 22 years. He married an Irish girl, Elizabeth Hickey and became a farmer at Bright Victoria and sought naturalisation in February 1876 (I have copies of the documents). He died in 1906. He had a number of children. The eldest was named Cornelius Louren Snip but died within months. Other children were Emma, Peter Frederick, Elizabeth, Arthur, Martha and Alfred Patrick. He anglicised his name to Peter Lawrence Snip and later the family changed their names to Lawrence-Snip and then Lawrence. His headstone said Peter Lawrence.

I hope this all ties up.

Peter's birth name was registered in the usual Dutch form of Pieter. He was born on 20 August 1830 at Den Hoorn, then a village on the island of Texel in the North Sea. Pieter's mother was Neeltje (Cornelia) Krijnen. His father was Lourens Cornelis Snip (Lawrence Snip in English) and he was a Master of a Ship.

On his marriage certificate, Peter stated his name to be Peter Lourens Snip, taking his second name from his father. This was, of course, anglicized to Peter Lawrence Snip.

Peter and Elizabeth Hickey were married on 7 January 1858 in Beechworth, a town in the north-east of Victoria. Peter stated that he worked as a Miner (of gold) at Spring Creek, Victoria. There were a number of gold mining places called "Spring Creek" in Victoia at that time but one was Spring Creek Ovens, located in the Ovens Valley near Murtleford, just south of Beechworth. This is likely to be where Peter was seeking his fortune.

Peter died on 16 April 1906 in Bright, Victoria. The burial records state that he was of the Roman Catholic faith, he was 75 years old and died of Pleurisy. His occupation was stated as Miner. He was buried at the Bright Cemetery on 18 April 1906. He lies in Section 2, Block D, Lot 35.

Elizabeth Hickey (then known as Elizabeth Lawrence Snip) died on 26 January 1911 in Bright. The burial record states that she was of the Roman Catholic faith, she was 77 years old and died of Bright's Desease. She was buried at the Bright Cemetery on 28 January 1911. Elizabeth lies in the same grave as Peter.
Peter and Elizabeth had (at least) 8 children all born in Victoria:-

Notice the tendancy to use the name Lawrence as a middle name for both boys and girls. This was common in The Netherlands at this time. Later the surnames alternate between Snip, Lawrence-Snip and simply Lawrence. Sometimes they change -- all very confusing!

1. Martha Snip. Born in 1861 at Ovens River. She married Mortimer Edward McCarthy in 1881 and stated her name as Martha Lawrence Snip. She died in 1946 in Surrey Hills, Victoria. Mortimer was born ca 1854. His parents were Michael McCarthy and Mary Ann Kearse. He died in 1929 in Prahran, Victoria.
Martha and Mortimer had a number of children and in all cases, Martha stated her name as Martha Lawrence. Sometimes it was recorded as Laurence. But why was Lawrence not included on her birth record?
1.1 Maud May McCarthy. Born 1883 in Bright. She died in 1959 in Surrey Hills. She never married.

2. Cornelius Lawrence (Conelius Lauren) Snip. Born in Melbourne in 1864 but he lived for only 4 weeks. It was probably anticipated to be a difficult birth so Elizabeth went to a larger hospital in Melbourne, but to no avail.

3. Emma Snip. Born in 1865 at Ovens River. Emma married William Wilkin Key in 1893. There are two alternate entries. One with her surname as Snip and one with Lawrence Snip (no hyphen).

There are two registration entries for Victoria's surname - Lawrence-Snip and Keyes. She died in March 1925 in Bright and was buried on 21 March at Bright Cemetery.
