An old resident of South Grafton, the wife of Mr. C. Kemp, died on Thursday last.

No parents.

Looking for her birth. May not be easy.

 

[DaveHam9]

I've found several trees for the Kemp family but nothing that helps re Mary Ross.

No baptism in NSW index that fits.

Margaret Ross married Neil McQueen, in Margaret's obit it states her father died at sea on the way here.
"and her father was one of those buried at sea— a result of the terrific fever which raged on that voyage,"

The Sydney Mail and New South Wales Advertiser (NSW : 1871 - 1912)
Sat 27 May 1882
Several eases of low fever are reported, and I believe they all partake of the typhoid character. One of these, Mrs. Caleb Kemp, residing at South Grafton, has terminated fatally. A number of children also are suffering from affections of the throat, which in some coses are said to approach very closely to that scourge diptheria....

I don''t feel the passenger list is your Mary Ross, all the other deaths for that family have parents names, the ones who died before and after Mary so why she hasn't got her parents names on her death reg when the parents were obviously known.

I also don't think the birth for Mary Ross 1840 that Elllie posted is the right one neither. Mary would have only been around 14 when she married if she had been born around 1840, i know sometimes that happened but i don't think so this time.
Unless her marriage cert. to Kemp has her parents noted i don't think it will be easy to confirm or eliminate info on her.

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Ellie.

Thanks gibbo.

... died at sea ... that explains why I didn't find Alexander on the image.

That tree has the right death for Mary so you would think they have the death reg and see it has her age as 48, so why then give her year of birth as about 1840?

I didn't see an arrival for another Mary with an age that fitted.

Several births in Lancs for a Mary Ross abt 1840.

 

[DaveHam9]

Thee are several baptisms in England in 1834 for a Mary Ross.

The marriage has ... married in this Church, Grafton ...

Anglicans have been worshiping in Grafton since 1842 from a wooden church to a now almost complete Cathedral building the Clarence Valley has a rich Anglican heritage.

The first stage of Grafton Cathedral was completed during the episcopacy of Bishop Turner. The new Cathedral was opened and dedicated on 25 July 1884.

I can't find a SAG film of the Parish registers. Anyway, the original entry may or may not contain any additional details.

 

[gibbo]

That tree has the right death for Mary so you would think they have the death reg and see it has her age as 48, so why then give her year of birth as about 1840?

IF she was a minor someone would have to have given permission for her to marry?
Nothing on the marriage details you posted of her been a minor so i gather she was of full age??

 

[DaveHam9]

Nothing on the image re being a minor or needing consent.

 

[gibbo]

So it appears going by that birth year of 1840 is not right. Around 1834 going by age at death.

 

[DaveHam9]

We would not be lucky enough that Charles Avery was related to her ??

No marriage in NSW 1835 - 1865 for a Charles Avery.

 

[gibbo]

No family notices mention the Ross family and none of her family on marriage cert. or death index. Appears she was all alone. I did check Irish orphans on the off chance but doesnt appear to be any Mary Ross's.
