QUESTION
Have you considered the December 1856 marriage of James TINDALE .... recently Ancestry uploaded digitised images of a number of the Sydney Diocese C of E parish registers. These often include the maiden name of the mother of the bride and groom, particularly once civil registration commenced (1 March 1856) ADD the heading reads 'Names (Mother's Maiden Name)'
entry 7 in the parish register of St Lukes, Liverpool, 1 December 1856, St Lukes Church, Liverpool,
James Tindale, bachelor, born Liverpool, a Carrier, aged 34, present and usual residence at Liverpool, mother as Jane BALL, father’s rank/profession as undertaker
Married
Ann Beale, widow, (husband died 6 December 1854, 2 living children, 4 deceased,) born Sydney, present and usual residence at Liverpool, mother as Elizabeth xxx, father’s rank/profession as Sexton of St Phillips Church.
ADD ... forgot to include the witness names (both signed) as Thomas TINSDALL and Susannah TINDALL and that James signed as James TINDALL and Ann signed as ANN BEALE
NOTICE the headings make NO provision for the name of the father of the bride or groom, notice also the additional info confirming Ann as a widow includes when her husband had died, and the number of children of that marriage) and I am sure you would recognise that carpenters would also have been called upon to construct coffins, so perhaps have undertaken undertaking duties.
Also noticed the following in those digitised parish registers ... there could be others but the spellings may be of interest, although I think likely you will already have these.
St Lukes C of E, Liverpool, NSW church registers
Jane, daughter of Daniel and Jane TYNDALL of this district, born May 5, 1817, baptised March 23, 1818

Alfred, son of Daniel and Jane TINDAL (Daniel as a carpenter), district of Liverpool, born August 9, 1838, baptised August 22, 1838
Fingers crossed.
