Don't know if Rachel arrived married or married here. Don't know if her maiden name is WRIGHT. I have no maiden name for John's mother. Not even sure if it is CRANE on the shipping record.

 

[gibbo]

Think i have the cousin Rachel.


CRANE Andrew 7 Oriental 1850
CRANE Eliza Jane 19 Oriental 1850
CRANE Irvin 36 Oriental 1850
CRANE Mary Anne 15 Oriental 1850
CRANE Rachel 36 Oriental 1850
CRANE Rachel 4 Oriental 1850
CRANE Sarah 12 Oriental 1850
CRANE Thomas 2 Oriental 1850

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks gibbo.

That must refer to Rachel aged 36 if that's the right one.

Need to find her death. Not this one:

CRANE Rachel Death notice 10JUL1958 Death 86 at Coonabarrabran Sydney Morning Herald 19JUL1958

Can't see a remarriage or a death in NSW for Rachel.

 

[DaveHam9]

Yes.

Rachel 36 from Donoughmore Tyrone

 

[gibbo]

How much, if any, did you want on the Crane family?

Marriage [Rachel jnr]
2673/1873 DENT JOHN CRAIN RACHEL ADELONG

Death
16271/1915 DENT RACHEL IRWIN RACHEL PETERSHAM

 

[DaveHam9]

A leading question. :2fun:

Not much. I'd settle for a death for Rachel senior hoping the reg has her parents.

A tree with Irwin has his siblings but no marriage and no Rachel.

I did check using Rachael as well.

Death 13606/1884 CRAIN RACHEL - THOMAS - SARAH - ADELONG

It will be hard proving Thomas is a brother of Stewart WRIGHT.

Death 2284/1891 CRAIN IRWIN - ANDREW - UNKNOWN - ADELONG

I'd say they were looking for gold.

 

[gibbo]

I found Irvin/Irwin's death index

2284/1891 CRAIN IRWIN ANDREW UNKNOWN ADELONG

 

[gibbo]

Got Rachel's death

13606/1884 CRAIN RACHEL THOMAS SARAH ADELONG

Thanks.

Yes, I thought of CRAIN too. :2fun:
