Annie Woods b. C.1851

[pinefamily]

Hello my fellow Aussie Rootschatters,
I have hit a brick wall with my 2x great grandmother, Annie Woods.
What I know:in all records as "Annie", she was born c.1851 in Australia, according to her death certificate ("native born"), and married in 1868 to a Robert Meyler (in index as "Megler"). After two children, (Clara) Agnes and Stanley, they seem to have separated. By 1879, Annie was "married" to Peter Carrington, by whom she had two daughters. In 1881, she was taken to Kapunda Hospital, and gave premature birth to a baby on the way. Unfortunately both mother and baby died.
What I would like to know: where Annie was born (her father is given as Daniel on her marriage certificate with Robert Meyler); and any details of her parents.
There is a Daniel Woods in the death index in 1907, but at this stage I don't see the point of purchasing the certificate. I have found a Daniel Wood (no s) marrying a Harriet McBrady in 1849, which caught my attention due to her Christian name. This couple only have one child in the indexes I could find, a daughter in 1859. My current thinking is that they possibly had more children, just not registered. But how can I prove this?
Open to any and all suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Neil, but at the moment I'm ruling that one out, as Annie's father is listed as Daniel on her 1868 marriage certificate.
Some extra data: the Harriet McBrady I mentioned above is also listed as McBrierty. I have only just found a Daniel Wood in the Qld death index in 1919, son of Daniel Wood and Harriet McBrierty.

Can you please give all the information on the marriage certificate, 1868, that you have.

I don't have the actual certificate unfortunately, only the info from the index. I only found about the marriage to Robert Meyler through a newspaper article on Trove, regarding the inquest into Annie's death. Until then I was puzzled why I couldn't find a marriage for her and her "husband", my ancestor.

Have you found the marriage of Peter CARRINGTON to Charlotte DRINKWATER (1853 15/229) with whom he had four children. 1852 Peter, b1854 David D1856, 1858 Peter? b1860 Benjamin d1873.

Then there is the Birth and death of a Peter Carrington 1881 along with the mother Annie Carrington. BUT no Marriage to date. and no death of a Charlotte CARRINGTON.

In 1893 (busy year for Peter) there is the death of a Edith Alice with a Peter as the father and Jane Magor as the mother? Also a Roy Carrington with a Peter Carrington as father and a death of a Jane Carrington with a Peter Carrington as the Husband.

Then in 1934 there is a cemetery listing for a Female CARRINGTON at Kadina cemetery.??

Isn't this a touch misleading

"Thanks Neil, but at the moment I'm ruling that one out, as Annie's father is listed as Daniel on her 1868 marriage certificate."

and

"I don't have the actual certificate unfortunately, only the info from the index."

Info to enable others to help. 

If Annie's age is accurate on her marriage certificate then I would suggest she was born c1850 and if born in South Australia her birth wasn't registered.
