Married in this Chapel by Banns with consent of their Parents
Thirty-first day of July 1832 By me M. D. Meares Chaplain
Both signed
Witnesses: James (his x mark) Turner of Wilberforce, William Gow of Wilberforce


This should be the one who died at Nangus.

I had the Berrima death in my tree that is why I queried BDM re no specific dod in the index and received the reply in post #1.

The marriage in 1832 is ok. It's the two deaths to sort.

The only other marriage in NSW index 1830 - 1887

2925/1862 CLEMSON WILLIAM - PURCELL MARY ANN - RICHMOND


I don't have the death of Elizabeth Clemson nee Sharp.

CLEMSON ELIZABETH 6161/1894 UNKNOWN UNKNOWN GUNDAGAI * 16 Apr

 

[DaveHam9]

Looks like only one Elizabeth so with Emerson as the executor the correct death would be the Gundagai one.

I had the wrong one in my tree not realising there were two who died that year.

The Bowral/Berrima one is a bit of a puzzle.

No birth in NSW index for a William Clemson with parents George & Sarah.

Middle name Sharp.

 

[DaveHam9]

No marriage in NSW index for the one who died Berrima. Births in NSW index for William senior and junior but not a third William.

William senior and Elizabeth nee Sharp had lots of children.

Can't find anything else in Trove for the one who died in Berrima.
