DIED.
At the residence of her father, Mr. James Smith, Fitz Roy Cottage, Parramatta, Mrs. Cross, widow of the late Rev. William Cross, Wesleyan Missionary to Tonga and the Feejee Islands. [Fiji ] Mrs. C. died on the 14th instant, in the thirty-ninth year of her age, leaving five children (three sons and two daughters), to deeply deplore the loss of an excellent and affectionate mother. Mrs. Cross took her departure in great composure and Christian tranquillity, leaving a testimony how much she had been devoted to the cause of her Redeemer, amongst the Heathen in the South Sea Islands for upwards of ten years.

[DaveHam9]

Thanks gibbo.

I was wondering about the date and place of marriage.

Don't know how BDM get CYRFO.

Dave

 

[gibbo]

Anything else for this one Dave?

 

[DaveHam9]

Probably won't find William's arrival in NSW.

That's it then thanks gibbo.

Dave

 

[gibbo]

Probably won't find William's arrival in NSW.

He was here in 1827, still working backwards.

 

[horse]

That's strange, the marriage that Gibbo found in post #4 William says he is a bachelor, his possible first wife d. 1832 in Tonga [Public tree]

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

William was in Tonga in 1827. So returned to Sydney and married, probably 2nd time. Went to Fiji in 1835 with his wife.

Just had another look at this, there are 2 images - one says bachelor, the other says widower

If you want details, let me know.

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

Yes, send the images thanks Geoff.

The copy of the image from Vol 17 sent to the Registrar General I can get from the local library tomorrow. One of the two images you have found is probably an image of the register.

Dave

 

[horse]

Looked more closely now, one looks to say erroneous something across it.. Sending both anyway.

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Geoff.

Rev William Schofield is also a Wesleyan Missionary.

Not sure what the A 25 is. Some early marriages have F = Free meaning arrived in colony free, ie. not a convict. 25 must be the age. No status for either. Also, it says Parish of Parramatta and not Parish of St John.

 

[DaveHam9]

One in post #19 is the image of the form the church sent to the Registrar General.

This is an image from the Parish Register. There are a few differences.
