Jane MATTHEWS

[DaveHam9]

Dunno Geoff.

Another one where there is no image for the marriage and the death certificate does not list mother's maiden name.

So, if all the trees are wrong and her mother is not Mary **** but in fact Jane then I'm lost. Age at death also is 4 years out for 1828 Crowan baptism. Death certificate says Redruth 1832.

Not close enough to a main line to be worth getting a copy of the 1847 marriage.

I feel like moving on. :biggrin:

That fits for residence and age could be read as 87 for 82.

This one has so many maybes...

Don't even have the arrival of Jane and spouse in Australia.

The dates in this one are all over the place...

I can't find a birth for any Benjamin or Oliver with a father Benjamin..

 

[DaveHam9]

I can't find a birth for any Benjamin or Oliver with a father Benjamin..

I can't either.

I'll find something else to work on.

Did Jane go to Ballarat?

 

[DaveHam9]

Yes. It's a very long story. :biggrin:

Children born in South Australia first then 2 marriages in Victoria. None of the 5 children survived.

Jane TAIT, born Cornwall 1832, died Victoria aged 46 yrs. # 00287 /1878

 

[horse]

Ok, just wanted to discount one...

 

[horse]

I suspect the informant wasn't necessarily familiar with her mother's first name and assumed it was the same as hers... The birth is about 4y out, not unusual in this one :biggrin:

Since none of the children survived, it does, to some extent end there!

The reason I asked about Ballarat was Penhall/Boucher...
