Who are the Parents of Mary(Ann) Davis, born C1830 Cork, Ireland ???
« on: Sunday 03 August 14 09:01 BST (UK) »
Little is known of Mary (Ann) Davis from Cork, Ireland. Wanting to try and find out who her parents might have been. Where does one start looking? As I am sure this will be a mammoth task!
From my GGreat Grandfathers birth certificate in 1861, it has been recorded that Mary was born in Cork, Ireland and at the time of his birth Mary was 30 years of age, therefore from this calculating she was born about 1830. No death has been found to date for Mary in Australia..Any help would be appreciated.

The problem is there are too many results for Mary Davis, unless you can narrow down where she came from or her parents names.
Here gives 7 possibles from 1825 to 1835 http://www.rootschat.com/links/0197o/ that's Cork South and West.
And Roots Ireland gives another 2 for Cork North and East for 1930 +/- 5 years http://corknortheast.rootsireland.ie 1830
Mary Ann gets nothing.
And there could be others not online.

Have you got her marriage?

I do have her marriage cert and she was obviously underage as a William Austin consented her in marriage on 28th February 1852. The cert does not list any info on where Mary was born!

And nothing about her parents.
Who was William Austin?
Have you found her arriving in  Australia?
Was she part of those orphan child shipments thingings?
