Daughter Amelia/Emilia/Emily married John McCrohon (4th Foot/Kings Own Regiment). In process of purchasing a marriage between Emily Banham and John McCrohon at Winchester. Hope it shows that she was a widow.

I hope it says something other than the big, fat nothing that we know now. Can't wait!

do you know when A/E/E was born Julie?

I put my best French accent on and imagined the enumerator writing 'Duckry'.

Found an Eliza Docwra 89 on the 1891 living Ramsgate.

Love the accent Rosie .. I'm sorry she was buried by then. From memory her first son was born 1829 and later they came to Australia. It's 11.20 pm and I'm a tad tired..

Julie: I got this from another researcher though I have not found very little to substantiate any of it.
Amelia remarried at the age of 44 in 1842 to Thomas O'Keeffe, a 55 year old convict farmer of Swan Reach.
In addition to their already combined family Amelia and Thomas had three children of their own. The first Margaret was baptized 11 April 1843, followed by Mary Anne b. 7 May 1845. Amelia's children Sydney, Francis and Sussanah had all originally been baptized into the Church of England. For some reason however on the 25th of April 1846 she had those three children, as well as John baptized again as a Roman Catholics (Adelaide had been baptized by an Episcopal Chaplain and
was baptized again as a Catholic on the 11th of November 1849). Six weeks later Amelia, then 48, gave birth to her last child Rose Anne on 6 June 1846.
She was buried 9 JUN 1846 in Hyland Cres. Cemetery, East Maitland.

Ammanda....that death cert might be worth getting. The index doesn't give any parents' names but there may be either earlier children or former names.

Yes Ammanda that is what I was given by the Maitland FHG, but not in that detail. It only says that she married Thomas O'Keefe and had three daughters and was buried at East Maitland. I did a trawl of the Old East Maitland Cemetery but did not find a headstone. I also checked at the library which told me that there were no newspapers that early for East Maitland.

Her death is in the index under Amelia Keeffe. I have to buy it if I was looking for her.

I can't find the marriage............but I can't find my Nation one either.

Julie............I remember one of mine is buried in a RC cemetery somewhere in the Hunter.

According to the Hunter Valley Genealogy group,

if a Catholic died before 1853,
and buried at Hyland Cres (Hiland)
and didn't have a headstone,

they are not in the register.

It is possible that the headstone is there Libby and I didn't find it, or that it was there and disintergrated, or that it is now unreadable, as lots are. I'll buy the certificate many thanks, but I don't think there will be much on it somehow. Many thanks for finding it.
