Thanks Geoff.

I'd better rephrase what I said. It is believed Charles followed a daughter Emily, who went to England. I didn't mean Charles went to England following the birth of daughter Emily.

So Mary Ann married as WINTER, used that as her name for birth reg of Selina and then started using BERRY.

Probably me, Dave

It looks that way... nothing for Winter after Selina..

 

[horse]

I still can't find a death reg for Alfred...

 

[DaveHam9]

I can't see a marriage in England for James BERRY and Ann WINTER.

One tree has this as the birth - well it actually says Manchester 1846.

Births Sep 1846
Winter Mary Ann W Derby 20 1076


FS for 1851 is useless. The field for birth year is ignored. I get all the Mary Ann in Lancashire not just the 1846 +/-1.

 

[DaveHam9]

Ok, thanks.

Try David Arthur SWITSON/BERRY for 1972 Vic.

I'm saying nothing :biggrin:

Thanks Geoff.

Can you see the 1917 death for Mary Ann? Age might be 69.

 

[horse]

Mary Ann Switson

Thanks Geoff.

So 1846-1848 and probably born before parents married. If the names are correct then I can't find the marriage. Perhaps James and/or Ann is wrong.

Let's assume the 1846 W Derby is correct for now and try for 1851 and 1861.

Then we need to find the arrival in Australia of Charles and Mary Ann before 1865.

 

[horse]

The only Berry = Winter mar. is 1842 Bristol... James & Jane.

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks.

Possible for 1861:

Name: Mary A Berry
Event Type: Census
Event Date: 1861
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Relationship to Head of Household: Daughter
Birthplace: Liverpool, Lancashire
Schedule Type: Household
Registration District: West Derby
Sub-District: 1 Toxteth Park
Ecclesiastical Parish: St James
Parish: Toxteth Park
Residence County: Lancashire

 

[DaveHam9]

Vic. BMD on-line index is down so I can't do a basic search for James or Ann BERRY deaths in Victoria.

 

[horse]

Have you got any parent names for James/Ann in the trees?

 

[DaveHam9]

I'm having trouble finding some of those trees again. :biggrin:

Ok, going out on a limb here:

Marriages Mar Qtr 1841 - Barton &c 20 75
BERRY James & Anne WINTERBOTHAM

A daughter Mary Ann born 1838 Manchester

Yes, it does not fit with age 69 at death.

 

[horse]

Thinking about it, perhaps Mary Ann's parents never married, odd she used Winter for Selina's birth...

 

[DaveHam9]

And for her marriage reg same year 1865.

Or if that 1846 West Derby is correct changed once she was 21.

 

[DaveHam9]

I've looked in FS for Emily born Victoria, Australia in 1891 and 1901 and can't find her.

 

[DaveHam9]

This is not the tree I had previously. It's correct in parts but lists Mary Ann's parents as George BERRY and Susanna HEAD.
