Can't find a marriage to fit either.

 

[emeltee]

FreeReg has a burial in Great Yarmouth 5 August 1810 for a Caroline Darling, infant daughter of William and Susanna. It gives a Register note that her mother's maiden name was Dawson.

There is a marriage in Ipswich, Suffolk, 15 May 1805 between a William Darling and a Susan Dawson. The Groom's residence is given as Royal Berkshire Militia.

I think you've got the wrong Caroline Darling.

Thanks Emeltee.

I'll have a look at my tree.

There is a tree suggesting Caroline's mother is Ann Wacey and arrived per Fortitude [not found it yet] though she may have traveled non-assisted..

Oh!

Qld. Deaths:

Alfred & Caroline's marriage doesn't help, witnesses = George Dixon & Eliz' Jennings.

Geoff

EDIT: Ooops! Just realised you have the witnesses in post #1

Thanks Geoff.

[DaveHam9]

Can't see Ann Wacey on the passenger list for Fortitude, Chaseley or Lima (incomplete).

1866 B2836 Ann Wacey - - ** born England aged 88 years

QUEENSLAND EARLY PIONEERS INDEX 1824-1859 - can't find the actual index.

Why Wacey? A second marriage for Ann. ??

No marriage in Qld. index.

Wacey, Mrs. Anne, 69. Mother of Mrs. Slaughter. Wacey, John, 23. Nephew of Mr. Slaughter.

[DaveHam9]

Can't find a birth/baptism for John Wacey abt 1826.

Can't find a death so far for John in Qld. or NSW or Vic.

Hits in Trove for a George Wacey and family in NSW.

No hits in Trove at all for 'john wacey' only Geo. John Wacey or George John Wacey who died 1949.

 

[DaveHam9]

FS seems to have removed dozens of pre 1837 English marriages.

Wacey - Darling marriage ?

John born as Darling or Wacey ??

 

[emeltee]

Closest I can find for a Wacey/Darling marriage is a Jonathan Wacey marrying an Ann Darley 15 Feb 1821 in London. That is from a transcription, haven't seen an image of the entry.

Emeltee

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Emeltee.

Looks like this will remain a mystery.

Caroline born abt 1809 not Middlesex and her mother Ann born abt 1778 not Kent.

John born abt 1826.

Have not found John yet in 1841. Quite a few if it's as Stacey or Stacy. There are several without others of the same surname who are in institutions.

[DaveHam9]

Looking for Wacey births/baptisms with parents John/Jonathan & Ann turns up hits such as this.
