Australia / Samuel Stevens of Ballarat 1888 - 1900 roughly
« on: Saturday 09 May 20 06:02 BST (UK) »
An Irish girl Sarah James arrived in Melbourne 19 Oct 1865. She married a widower Phillip Mitchell 22 Nov 1866 at United Presbyterian Manse, Ballarat. Three children Alfred 1867, Susan 1876 and Alice 1885.
Phillip committed suicide by throwing himself down a mine shaft 20 Sept 1886.
Sarah remarried Samuel Stevens, a captain, at the same Manse on 28 August 1888.
Nothing further heard about Samuel Stevens.
1902 Sarah is registered at the Ballarat Benevolent Home - dies there 31 May 1906.
There are many Samuel Stevens hanging around Ballaratt at the time - I suspect he made off with widow Sarah's money. Is there any way of finding him?
