William Hartnoll Davis
Date and Place of Birth - 1836 Shepton Mallet, Somerset
Ordinary Examination passed at Liverpool, 11 October 1864

So he could be the 4 year old in New Windsor with William the journeyman cooper, Sarah, Rosa, etc, found by solidrock.

Thanks to all for the info supplied.

There is a lot to take in. Still looking for Rosa's marriage ( I believe to Burnell), the birth of her son William ( 1862?) and how they travelled to Australia before she married George Dowswell in 1866.

At your reply #16 -

Can you please complete the information from the marriage certificate, 1866 -
all details about George DOWSWELL....age. birth details, occupation, any addresses, names of witnesses, name of church. Is this document a transcription (all typed) or the image of a handwritten documents ie handwritten signatures?

From the death certificate......any addresses, cause of death, place of death, name of informant, burial place.

Using the NSW BDM index, I am not seeing the marriage to Elizabeth Ada McKnight. Can you identify it please.

Marriage certificate 1866, NSW -
".... Is this document a transcription (all typed) or the image of a handwritten documents ie handwritten signatures?"

Does Rosa make her signature...is Rosa literate.

You have one chance at the family name that Rosa uses at marriage, and by extension the name of her husband (?), and possibly the father of William. So it would be useful to know if the document you are using is a hand written document. Are you reading the handwritten name to be BURNELL, or is that name typed.

The death certificate for William is informed by his wife's husband. William's marriage certificate  would be useful to you. William would be naming his parents, and giving father's occupation. William would be giving his age and birthplace. For all that he uses the family name of Rosa's husband, DOWSWELL, William might give something else on the certificate.

What is William doing in Victoria.....what is his occupation.......who are the witnesses on the marriage certificate?

Where a widow remarries, her younger daughters sometimes take the family name of mother's new husband. Older daughters might. Sons usually retain the name of their birth father.
