Death 19282/1924 BACKUS MARY A - JOHN - ELIZABETH J - GRAFTON

PERSONAL
Mrs. Jacob Backus, an old resident of Grafton, died on Saturday, aged 60 years, leaving a husband and grown-up family.

This may not be the right birth - not Mary A, mother not Elizabeth J and Penrith a long way from Grafton.

No John or Elizabeth White in the index for 1930 Grafton.

Thanks gibbo.

I can't find a tree that has White and Hayes.

 

[DaveHam9]

Edward born abt 1820 so a late marriage or the second ??

Assisted arrivals - only one the right age and he was married and from Wicklow.

 

[gibbo]

Mmm going by age in the death notice [1916] it states Jane was 86 so born around 1830 therefore she would have been around 33 when she had Mary Ann in 1863, maybe she might have had a previous marriage?? Only saying that as they usually married younger that in the 30's??

 

[DaveHam9]

Yes gibbo. Thinking it was second marriage for both.

If Edward was born Dublin then he arrived as some time.

Been searching Trove and finding nothing before 1862.
