Thanks gibbo.

Had obit for James via link to another site but not the one for Julia.

 

[DaveHam9]

I could not find the baptism on film today for Julia. Should be near end of this reel if #330 is correct.

Not much help, but a few trees are going with 24 Oct 1845, Camden. One says Germany

Anc has birth reg. place as Wollongong.

The birth has to be before Feb 1846 otherwise her surname would be Bensley!

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Geoff.

Can't be Oct 1846 for two reasons. If it is Oct 1845 then year in index should be 1845.
Or the birth is 24 Oct 1845 and the baptism was in 1846.

Thought Hannah's obit was interesting. Who ever did the obit appears to have the marriage year wrong or were the kids etc told that was when they married to save face with Julia been born before marriage?? Could simply be a typing error in the paper also.

Camden News (NSW : 1895 - 1954)
Thu 2 Aug 1900

The deceased lady was a native of Sussex, England and came to the colony of N. S.W. , with her parents at an early age ; she was married in 1843 at Campbelltown, to Mr. Henry Benslev, and for the past 43 years has been a widow. Mrs. Bensley's brother, Rev. J. Clifton, is at present stationed at

Thanks gibbo.

Had the death notice but not that obit.

Some errors there. Arrived at age 18 actually.

principal's name: Hannah Clifton
age in years: 18
native place of principal: Hollington, Sussex, England
father's name: Henry Clifton
mother's name: Anne Clifton

 

[DaveHam9]

This is rather odd.

 

[gibbo]

Oh, it names the father? Yet the birth reg. doesn't.

 

[DaveHam9]

Yes, gibbo so rather strange.

I'm off to Centrelink to resolve my pension number issue.

Did you take a packed lunch with you? You could be gone hours

Julia born Oct. 24th 1845
Baptised Jan.11th 1846 William Moore noted as father [Looks like Moore to me] or maybe Hoore??
Mother marrys 23rd Feb 1846 but not to Moore

Would William Moore have had to be there for his name on the baptism?

 

[DaveHam9]

Left home at 8.15 and got back at 1.00 for lunch at usual time. About 15 minutes each way on the bus.

The attempt on 15 June to update my address via MyGov didn't work it now turns out.

Perhaps the minister when sending the form to the Registrar General made no mention of William so he is not on the index entry.
