This one has me puzzled...wonder if the surname is incorrect.

There are no deaths and no births in the surname AKINES in NSW

But there both in the Name ARKINS
More twists and turns than a cut snake this family

You're not wrong Neil! 

Emily's burial indictates she was born around 1861, so no spring chicken (well, at least not a young unmarried girl) when she had Ethel and Florence.

Hi. I am trying to find information Re: Ellen Mansfield who was buried in the Church of England section in Rookwood Cemetery on June 29 1916 and also if her husband, Ephraim Mansfield is buried in Rookwood.
I have found out that the information on BDM re: their marriage,  is incorrect as it has Ellens maiden name as being Asekeller and it appears as though that name doesn't exist anywhere. It also shows that they were married in Erskinville NSW and no one at the church can help me verify what her maiden name was as I was told there are no records at the church from the year they were married.
I recently found Ellen's funeral notice which was in the Sydney Morning Herald dated June 29 1916 and it showed her as being the wife of Mr E Mansfield but like Ellen, after 10 years of searching I cannot find any trace as his death, hence my question, is he also in Rookwood.
Can anyone help..

Do you have the marriage certificate which should have her signature?

This is quite exciting, but I wish FamilySearch had gotten there first.

So little Ellen ASEKELLER (Nee BENNETT) Married possibly several times prior to marriage at AGE 58/59 in 1899 to Ephraim MANSFIELD and was 76YO at her death in 1916.

I don't know why but something tells me it may be important to find who her previous husband/'s were and when they became deceased. MAYBE.

Mentioned on one of the linked threads Neil   Along with the census info I typed up

If she is the dau of Wm and Ann BENNETT on the 1851 census, then born 1840 reg district Abingdon which covers Garford, Berkshire.  Possibly not accurate with her age on the marriage cert.

SAG have already transcribed many registers as mentioned in the link to the State Library of NSW.
