Redfern/Painter ??

[The-Game]

This is more so for my grandmother who asked me If "I could please try to trace her mother's side, as we're somehow related to Dr William Redfern 1774-1883, and also Lachlan Macquarie who was dubbed "The Father Of Australia. I know my Great grandmother was Claire (pronounced clara) quelch (born Redfern) died sometime in the 90's. Her mother was also Clara Redfern (born Painter we think). We're a little confused as we know there is Clara Redfern who married a Thomas Redfern sometime We assume back in the 1800's. unclear, but they date back to Dr William Redfern somehow and also Lachlan Macquarie, I'm confused as hell haha. But any help would be most appreciated by my Grandmother. Thank You

May I suggest that you have a look on Ance..try,

Looks like a daug of Herbert Redfern and Mary Agnes Proud married Frank Quench
Herbert's father Thomas Henry Redfern married Clara Painter in Melbourne 1867.

From the Ances..try tree looks like somebody has done a lot of research

PS I agree with Cando, and never take anothers research as gospel,  & always confirm info from other sources. eg BDM index, however sometimes you can get leads that help in the search

Do you have access to Ancestry to look at the tree or do you need help from us.  If you have access make sure the tree is well referenced ie the sources are cited....and even then you still need to check them yourself and I understand ancestry give 'hints' that aren't always correct but people post the 'hints' to their tree.

From my resource

REDFERN Thomas Henry  born Manchester
PAINTER Clara  born London
1867  Reg#122

Umm could there be two Thomas and Clara Redfern's

The NSW BDM has Thomas Riddiough Redfern and a Clara with 5 children from 1876?

Alfred 76, Catherine 78, Thomas 81, Lena 83, Harry 86. There is another to a Thomas K and Clara a Walter in 1890.

Could be just possible transcription error but a very unusual middle name.

...and many of them have confused the families of the two couples - Thomas REDFERN and Clara HIGGINS (married 1874 in Sydney),  and Thomas REDFERN and Clara PAINTER ( married 1867 in Victoria).

As Clara married in 1937, there is a chance she was born up to 1918. A look up may prove useful.

I can see Clara Paynter Redfern parents Mary Agnes Pound born 1883  and Herbert Redfern .
