I think the Stockton cemetery you need is in Stockton, near newcastle, NSW, half an hours drive from me.
Have found James Henry Hynd, aged 62, died 5th June, 1954.
If you go onto findagrave, you need to register I think but otherwise free. Covers many countries. I have found lots of info on there as sometimes people add other information like siblings etc.
Think it’s is James, so he must have moved to newcastle in the Hunter Valley.
If you can’t get it email me and I will send copies.

Wow, very interesting, love wee stories with people. So he came to Sydney, I am 200 Kms north of Sydney.  I have list of peters children, sounds like your line. Seems only Isabella, Peter, my line and Thomas USA line are the only people searching.  Do you have Isabella’s history, as I said her parents Peter and Christian Gowan’s have taken Ruth in USA and I some 20 years, but have just about decided Peter Fisher Snr was an only child. My Mother many years ago said, Peter was picked up in the gutter and the minister gave him his name. Well sounds just like an old man telling a story to his grandchildren to me, but we even tried to find a minister named Fisher in that area, but none. We think his mother married John Fisher, but years later married a George Robertson. Still looking.
Have noted all your comments re Hynd Family, let me know if you want any info re Fisher Family. Annie

Yes, I’m still here, but been lazy lately, thank you for information, will peruse newspapers too as can all add to family tree.
Still looking for Isabella’s father Peter Fisher. His father John Fisher and Margaret Robertson according to his DC.
Thank you again as it helps to inspire me to continue on.

You are right, it was confusing, but I did have both Elizabeth's, when I found Archibald (parents-Matthew Hamilton and Elizabeth smith) in Australia marrying a margaret Henderson and only half an hours drive from where I now live in nsw, I never thought to look in other states of Australia for his parents, and had assumed they must have stayed in Scotland. Just goes to show how much people move around.
Thank you, for that info, plus with hume's contact, and the inspiration to get back to the family tree, just what I needed, Annie

Hi, haven't been looking for awhile, but keen for anything re Archibald Hamilton and gryzel mckechan. My line was their first son John who married Jane McGill. If there is anything you want to know I am happy to pass on what I have.
Followed George as I was also looking for Matthew,, his son came to Australia, but I don't know where Matthew went.

Thank you Maggieblue, I did find that information online, trouble is I had forgotten where, but was so much information I couldn't believe it.  Tried to follow Minnie but looks like her name was Mary. In 1911 Jane's mother Nancy(Agnes) had a Minnie Stevenson living with her in Scotland.  I thought another link, though I don't know who she belonged to as yet.
Don't know where the name Linton would have come from so not looking good, also the birth date as mentioned by Aghadowey, though I tried to ignore that as they do not always have right ages.
Will follow up on the Linton name, that might squash that line for me.  Knew that I found all the information too easily to be in my family tree.
Thank you all for your information, and will post if I find the Linton, might help someone else.  Annie

Should have mentioned the reason I believed this to be the right Jane was that she had a child called Agnes (Mother's name) and Robert S, both died aged 2 & 4, later she had another Agnes and Robert S, who lived to good age and also listed at Cullybackey graveyard.
Maybe they just put the name Robert as her father. The three sons in Scotland on their marriages and deaths had no father listed.
This Nancy (Agnes) Stevenson had 5 iligitimate children.
Another daughter born 1865 stayed in Ireland, was looking at one who married James Mann, again in 1901 &1911 census, but same problem. Annie

The marriage I got from another website, didn't givefather's name.  Interesting that that one says Robert. Her eldest brother was named Robert.  Don't know re middle name either.
Will have a look on the website you suggest.
I thought that by 1940 Ireland would have by then put both parent's on death cert. How silly of me to think that. So it wouldn't be worth spending the money anyway.
Thank you for your answers but it doesn't look good. Annie

Antrim / Lookup at Proni, Jane Stevenson

Hi, I have found a Jane Stevenson born 1867, m Hugh Gray in 1883 and died 1940. Found children etc in 1901 and 1911 census.  My problem is that I need to verify that this Jane Stevenson is the one I want.  She was born to Nancy Stevenson in Ballycregeagh, no father mentioned.
Jane & Hugh Gray lived in Cullybackey and died and were buried there.
But, other than paying an outlandish price for DC can someone look this death up for me or is there another way of getting to see the death certificate of Jane.  All I want to know is who her mother was on her death certificate.
Would really appreciate this assistance.  Annie
