DEATHS
On the 5th instant, at her residence, Bowrall, ELLEN, the beloved wife of HENRY PAIN, tanner, aged 45 years, after a short but painful illness. (English papers, please copy.)

The 1871 death is that of Ellen aged 32 on the shipping record. She therefore remarried in 1860.

So, who is the Ellen Gates (a widow) who married Thomas Wade in 1858 ?

Thanks Val.

How can Ellen marry Henry Pain as Gates if she married Thomas Wade?

Where is the death for Thomas Wade ?

Thomas Wade to Ellen Gates – Camden – 1548/1858
https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/60426736?searchTerm=thomas wade

there is a few paper articles for a Thomas Wade being drunk & disorderly, spent time in jail, so maybe Ellen didn’t feel he was suitable for her… and showed him the door….divorce? - had it annulled? ...

no death for him in 1859 as per Tree – NSW 1866 age 50 at Armidale suits him.. reg 2754
