William Henry was uncle to these:

NSW Marriages
1015/1894 WALKER WILLIAM J - GREENAWAY EDITH A - SYDNEY
5451/1901 STUBBING GEORGE R - GREENAWAY EMILY L - SYDNEY

So was Matilda's maiden name GREENAWAY?

I can't see Edith or Emily - oh! next generation. They must be children of ...

V18381439 23A/1838 GREENAWAY SARAH S GEORGE CHARLOTTE
V18432108 27A/1843 GREENAWAY GEORGE GEORGE CHARLOTTE
V18452703 31A/1845 GREENAWAY MATILDA GEORGE CHARLOTTE
V18541060 44A/1854 GREENAWAY ANN GEORGE CHARLOTTE


Births
0414/1875 GREENAWAY EMILY LAVINIA - JAMES - MARY - SYDNEY
1397/1876 GREENAWAY EDITH ADELAIDE - JAMES - MARY - SYDNEY

 

[DaveHam9]

I'm lost. :biggrin:

Emily and Edith's parents...

James Greenaway
Spouse: Mary Prior
Marriage Date: 1872
Marriage Place: New South Wales
Registration Place: Sydney, New South Wales
Registration Year: 1872
Registration number: 420

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Geoff.

I'm still lost in the four generations. That Matilda is not old enough. Wrong generation. The Matilda we are after has to be old enough to be mother of WH born abt 1846.

Looking for WH born abt 1846 - parents William & Matilda.

Yep, sometimes going round the houses can be revealing :biggrin:

 

[DaveHam9]

Let's see if this helps.

William Prior
marriage: 26 December 1831 Saint Mary,Newington,Surrey
spouse: Matilda Shepherd

NSW Death 7937/1910 GREENAWAY MARY - WILLIAM - MATILDA - SYDNEY

Ok, a sister of WH. So he fits as the uncle of Edith & Emily.


GREENAWAY Mary Death notice 03AUG1910 Death 63 late of Darlinghurst Sydney Morning Herald 04AUG1910

So born abt 1847.

NSW Death 7937/1910 GREENAWAY MARY - WILLIAM - MATILDA - SYDNEY

Yes, can't see any births in NSW

 

[DaveHam9]

So we are left with a WH b. abt 1846 and Mary b. abt 1847 - parents William & Matilda according to both death reg. and no sign in NSW.

And no death in NSW for Matilda as PRIOR.


104/1868 FOX MICHAEL - PRIOR MATILDA - SYDNEY

Deaths
V18551280 43A/1855 PRIOR WILLIAM AGE 75

10593/1916 FOX MATILDA - WILLIAM - MATILDA - REDFERN

FOX Matilda Death notice 16SEP1916 Death 65 late of Waterloo Sydney Morning Herald 18SEP1916

Not old enough.

So we are left with no death in NSW for Matilda.

So we are left with a WH b. abt 1846 and Mary b. abt 1847 - parents William & Matilda according to both death reg. and no sign in NSW.

Yes, and no complete matches

Certainly an interesting find, Dave..

There is this..

Matilda Gauld

Death Place: New South Wales
Father: William
Mother: Hannah
Registration Year: 1903
Registration Place: Waverley, New South Wales
Registration number: 16297

1828, William is with Hannah and 3 offspring - Betty, Rachael and Mary..

Matilda Prior
Piece: HO 10/25
Province: New South Wales
Title: Census M-R
Year(s): 1828

 

[DaveHam9]

Her last child in 1873?

That could mean WH & Mary are named after their mother. And probably the Matilda born abt 1853 who married FOX.

 

[DaveHam9]

GAULD Matilda Death notice 24DEC1903 Death 75 late of Waverley Sydney Morning Herald 25DEC1903

GAULD Robert Funeral notice 13MAR1879 Funeral late of Pitt St. North, Sydney Sydney Morning Herald 13MAR1879

1828, William is with Hannah and 3 offspring - Betty, Rachael and Mary..

Matilda Prior

This looks to be a different family...
