I would suggest purchasing the 1856 marriage cert.

I might need to Cando to sort this lot out  ;)

I have just found a tree on Ancestry that shows a possible baptism for Mary Jane Griffey (c. 1821)

James & Mary Griffey

Children:
Louisa Griffey 24 May 1816 Bideford
Harriet Griffey 17 Jan 1819 Bideford
Mary Jane Griffey 13 Aug 1820 Bideford

I do have a James Griffey that shows in the census returns below widowed in 1841, 1851 and 1861. He is living with his brother William, my Mary Jane Griffey's father, so the families must have been close....

So Mary Jane Griffey (b 1820) and Mary Jane Griffey (b 1814) could have been cousins then  ::)

How intruiging about the 'Symbol S' or supplementary info....I wonder what it is!! Hopefully something interesting that will help me out  ;)
May have died in the Adelaide Destitute Asylum.  Home for the aged and infirm as well as the destitute.  Forerunner of the Magill Old Folks Home.

He isn't buried at West Terrace so could be at any of the church cemeteries of the time.  I will have a look around my resources tomorrow.  Bit late for me now.

Whoops, wasn't aware of that Cando...have tweaked my post ;)

It was pretty late for me too...I have e-mailed the Library so we will see what the deaths soon.

Thanks for checking your resources for me :)

After failing to find him anywhere else, found he is at West Terrace with a mistranscribed surname.

http://www.aca.sa.gov.au/RecordsSearch.aspx
GIFFEY Richard  74 years
Date of Death 21 July 1885  [this is the date of burial - problem with the headings on their database ::) ]
Last Abode Adelaide
Service Type Burial
Location unknown. 

I wonder if he was buried as a pauper in common ground?

The ACA will correct their database if you notify them with the details from the death registration.

Well spotted!

Just heard back from the library and it looks like he died in the lunatic asylum, North Terrace, Adelaide from lung disease and senile decay.....is the anywhere I can get records from the lunatic asylum?

Thanks Cando, will check it out....are the Destitute Asylum and the Lunatic Asylum the same place then?

I have contacted SAGHS and they are going to copy his admission register for the Lunatic Asylum for me for $14, which I think is pretty good  ;D

Just gotta wait till I get my hot little hands on it now, hopefully it will give some more details  ;)
