Hugh Curry was 22yrs a blacksmith and Mary Ann was 17yrs when they married at St Stephen’s Penrith – 15 Dec 1864

Hugh Curry death 1874 Penrith – parents James & Margaret


am guessing the George Dent was brother to Mary Ann nee Dent b 1851 – George Dent (1809-1862) & Anne Nancy Burke (1824-1870) – he married a Eliza Jane Smith 1872 Penrith & he died 24 Dec 1924

[DaveHam9]

I can't find a death that fits in 1898 or any other year after lots of searching.

As of 22 Jan 1875 Mary Ann had not remarried. Hugh Curry's name was removed from the municipal list and Mary Ann Curry's name added.

Not much help, but one tree has this for Mary A death..

"Death Dec 1898 listed as deceased on daughter's marriage certificate; no death registration located"

Not sure which dau yet, cert not seen.

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Geoff.

I checked 4 possible remarriages and deaths and then double checked 1898 and nothing found.

Why would mother's date of death be on the marriage cert?

Dave

 

[horse]

Why would mother's date of death be on the marriage cert?

My fault it is listed like this..
"Death
Dec 1898

listed as deceased on daughter's marriage certificate; no death registration located"

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

I don't see any fault Geoff or any difference.

Same question. NSW marriage certs usually name the parents but don't have any details re death of parents.

 

[horse]

It reads death as 1898, then possibly as a note that her mother is listed as deceased on the marrriage cert.

Geoff

 

[horse]

If Mary Ann was incarcerated somewhere and/or there was a coroner's report.. possibly why we are not seeing the death reg in the normal way?

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Geoff.

I found nothing in Trove at all that helps re her death.
