Mary CURRY death 1891 Sandhurst Victoria
« on: Friday 14 August 15 10:49 BST (UK) »
I have previously obtained a very grainy image of the death entries 4932 to 4936 from Sandhurst Victoria dated April 1891, specifically relating to Mary CURRY or CURRIE. And wondered if a clearer image is available.
I believe she has a family connection with me. Her father was a William WELLS, his occupation unknown, although the image suggests Fisherman.
Mary married John CURRY 8th June 1838 in Cockley Cley Norfolk
Arrival 18th August 1840 on ship "Theresa" Entered as a family ( husband and wife )
John CURRIE 31 labourer protestant form England Mary CURRIE 24 dairy woman protestant from England possibly also a daughter Sarah aged 2 on arrival in Australia, another manifest suggests they did not have any children on arrival.

Death
CURREY Mary
Father William WELLS  Mother Rose UNKNOWN
At Bendigo  77 years  1891  Reg#4936

I am puzzled.  Are you saying that Mary's death certificate has her father's occupation noted?

You would need to contact Vic bdm about the quality of the image.

I would use PROV indexes for passengers on the THERESA

http://www.rootschat.com/links/01fwr/

Transcribed from the handwritten list of Assisted Immigrants arriving on the THERESA

John CURRY  31 years Agriculturist   Native place Norfolk  Religion Protestant  Can read and write  Bounty £18
Mary CURRY   24 years Dairymaid   Norfolk   Protestant  Can read  Bounty £18
Sarah CURRY 2 years

There are these two parish records which have been transcribed to the Victorian Registry as required by legislation at the time of the introduction of civil registration in Jul 1853.

Baptisms

CURRY Richard

And is this your family of interest...Bendigo was formerly known as Sandhurst.

Birth
