Hello crankypants,

Thank you. I can't see a death for William that fits.

This looks like Emma:

b. 12 Jun 1819 c. 10 Sep 1819 The Chapel-Wesleyan, Luton, Bedford, England
John THOMPSON & Sophia BARTON

This may be William although there are other William de FRAINE going by the deaths in FreeBMD.

William de FRAINE c. 7 Oct 1827 Saint Mary, Aylesbury, Buckingham, England
Thomas & Rebecca

Regards,

Dave

Hello crankypants,

I can't see William in the shipping records to Qld. but this one is interesting:

DEFRANE Emma 40 Sultana 1 Nov 1862 IMM/112 155 Z1957 M1696

I can't find a matching death in Qld. though. Son William married in 1868 so he arrived in Australia between 1861 & 1868.

Regards,

Dave

 

[DaveHam9]

Something is not right.

 

[brentor boy]

From GRO Index.
Birth. De Fraine. Male. Dec 1848 Luton. Mmn Thompson
Unable to find matching death - presumably he did not survive.

Free BMD has a peculiar entry for March 1856.
Death. DEF* William - then no district nor volume/page reference.
I know your William Thomas was missing from home in 1861. Could this be him?

 

[DaveHam9]

No sign of a probate record 1861 - 1864.

Thanks Vic.

Interesting.

Probate index starts 1858.

I've looked at the image and I can't see how this is readable
Defeery William Whitechapel 1c 236

The whole page is almost impossible to read.

Emma says she is married in 1861.
