Sydney Court married John McKenney so he is not the other witness.


James Court

Can't find James & Sarah in 1861 census.

There is an older James with a Sarah ?? Age at death points to 1838 not 1830.

Age 31

Don't know where in NZ the children were born so that makes it very difficult finding their arrival if port is unknown.

In NZ by 1865.


COURT, MARY ELIZABETH - SAVAGE
GRO Reference: 1858 S Quarter in MANCHESTER Volume 08D Page 237

COURT, ELIZABETH - SAVAGE
GRO Reference: 1861 D Quarter in MANCHESTER Volume 08D Page 249

Deaths Jun Qtr 1861
Court Mary Elizabeth Manchester 8d 169

This does not fit

COURT, ELIZABETH age 5
GRO Reference: 1863 S Quarter in MANCHESTER Volume 08D Page 212

Births Sep Qtr 1858
Court Elizabeth Manchester 8d 128 mmn MARSH

So Elizabeth probably died in NZ or NSW.

NSW BDM is down.

 

[DaveHam9]

James Court
Spouse's Name Sarah Chaloner
Event Date 29 Sep 1851
Event Place Cathedral Manchester

That must be the couple in the 1861 census.

Elizabeth born Dec Qtr 1861 so they should be in 1861.

 

[DaveHam9]

NSW BDM back up.

Death COURT SARAH 15740/1916 THOMAS ELIZABETH - REDFERN

COURT Sarah Death notice 03OCT1916 Death 79 late of Botany Sydney Morning Herald 05OCT1916

So born abt 1837.

It's the right death.

[emeltee]

The Elizabeth Savage who is head of family in 1851 appears in the 1841 ith the same children and with husband Robert so I don't think it's the right family.

Emeltee

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Emeltee.

Yes, I think it's not Savage now.

I think the name on the image is Savara with a ?.

Dave

 

[emeltee]

Children of Thomas and Elizabeth Savary
Jane 1828
Margaret 1830
Elizabeth 1832
Sarah 1837

The only Thomas Savary/Elizabeth marriage I can find in the Warrington area is

Thomas Savery/Elizabeth Moores 8 August 1825

No sign of a Savery/Redfern marriage

Emeltee

 

[emeltee]

Just a thought - not up to speed with things Australian - is Redfern a place or Elizabeth's maiden name? If it's a place then the Warrington birth and marriage could br correct.
