NSW Marriage 3373/1882 McCOOEY JAMES BRENNAN - SIGGO ANNE CATHERINE - CROOKWELL

So the notice should have said father-in-law.


Something is not right.

NSW Death 19330/1937 SIGGS ROSANNA - PATRICK - MARY - GOULBURN * 8 Jul 1937

That one married Richard Siggs but the only baptism for a Rosanna is the one in post #1.

There is another family in the Goulburn area.

NSW Bap V18463265 64/1846 GALLAGHER HONORAH - PATRICK - MARY - LO= RC Goulburn

Roman Catholic Baptisms solemnized in the Parish of Goulburn in the County of Argyle 1846
Honorah - Patrick Gallagher & Mary Grace Abode: Goulburn Quality or Profession: Printer When Born: 3 Novr. 1846 When Baptised: 9 Jany. 1847 By whom the Ceremony was performed: Michael Brennan

Mrs. Rosanna Siggs, wildow of the late Mr. Richard Frederick Siggs, of Pejar Park, died in St. John of God Hospital this morning at the age of 91 years. ... Born at Cobbity, near Narellan, the late Mrs. Siggs was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Gallaghar. She came to the Goulburn district with her parents at an early age, ...

If parents on death reg are correct and if that obituary is correct then there is no baptism in NSW index for Rosanna.

Yet we have three things that say the above is not correct.

1. A baptism for a Rosanna in 1846 - William & Bridget

2. Rosanna's daughter married a G. Wiles. (a Siggs)

3. William died at the residence 53 Myrtle-st of Mr. & Mrs. McCooey (a Siggs - error in index with Siggo)
