Wedding in S.A. was 1864 - not 1868!

Kris, to answer your very much earlier queries -I think the later shipping entry of Catherine & Elizabeth Wilkinson is correct; the sisters would have come for wedding in 1868 of younger sister Margaret. Her wedding was at "Mrs. Fadyges residence" and certificate shows both Fadyges were witnesses.

Still re-working on these people!!
(I've just turned 94 but still got the itch!!)
Nathaniel JACOBS was ostensibly born around 1848 (probably in South Australia), as he was 60 in 1908, when returning to Mauritius from wedding in Mornington of Kate PITCHFORD. *I think he may have died around 1908-1910, as the Charles Jacobs' "Family Hotel" was sold in Curepipe, Mauritius in 1908 to a Miss Wiehe; and Nathaniel & Catherine JACOBS' home "Woodcliffe" in Mornington was sold in 1910 to the Tolhursts. (Catherine JACOBS's sister Margaret PITCHFORD ALSO died in 1910, so probably another reason for the "holiday property" to be sold). I presume Catherine returned to live in Mauritius around then, but again, no records found yet...of her death later or indeed of Nathaniel's death - possibly in 1908-1910?

Have found out g00d many more details of Malcom McDONALD (Parents: Alexander,Tenant, Tulloch/Betty Reid). Malcom born 16 June, 1768 as Twin to John who died at birth; first marriage to Jannet McDonald (maiden name) of Moy b.1760; had six children; Second marriage as widower to: Mary C. McKENZIE of Fodderty, on 1 Jan., 1820...4 children - Murdoch, Margaret M., William Hughin & Elizabeth.
No record of Malcom after his appearance in 1841 census, can't locate his death date but maybe sometime soon after 1841 census? Don't know what happened to Mary after that date, although found one as a 'pauper' which could be her. Would love to find Malcom's death date and burial if possible, and his wives details. Any ideas?

« on: Sunday 21 November 21 02:31 GMT (UK) »Hi Ruth,
nothing much to report from the passenger lists I am afraid.
I could find no sign of Margaret arriving in SA, nor of any of them leaving SA
Passenger List from the ART UNION arriving 22 Aug 1864
WILKINSON Cathe, single aged 19 a servant from Monmouth
Passenger List OCEAN CHIEF arriving 7 Apr 1864
WILKINSON Cathe single aged 21 a servant from Monmouth
WILKINSON Eliz single aged 18 a servant from Monmouth
Cheers Kris
Hi Ruth,
seems to be quite a bit of supposition in thisCatherine was born June qtr 1842, chr. 18 Sept., 1842, Trevethin, Monmouth, England. dau. of John Wilkinson and Margaret Jones.
Have found a Catherine Wilkinson (age 19) on ship "Art Union" from Plymouth, Devon, arriv. S.A. on 22 August, 1864, Adelaide.
Her younger sister Margaret came out in 1863 age 16, and married in Adelaide age 17 in Dec. 1864. I thought Catherine could have come out for her sister's wedding.
Do you have this Art Union Entry? Catherine Wilkinson is not an unusual name. Are you sure Catherine was ever in Adelaide. I note by this arrival you mention, this Catherine is aged 19. Your Catherine would be 22. You make comments such as "a Catherine Wilkinson" "I thought Catherine could have come out for her sister's wedding." Do you have Margaret's marriage cert? Was Catherine a witness or do you have any records of her ever being in Adelaide?
Cheers Kris

I think these are all relevant...thanks so much to everyone who have researched and replied.
I think Catherine & Isaac Cooper, who were witnesses at Margaret JONES' wedding to John WILKINS(ON) in 1834 were maybe Catherine JONES, Margaret's mother and her second husband Isaac COOPER. Dates fit. I don't know why the fact she is Margaret JONES' mother is not mentioned on wedding cert. where they all signed with "mark".
Catherine Cooper is with Wilkinsons again as 'Independent' (& Isaac has died) in 1841 Census (she died in 1842).
Above person in subject line is: Thomas Morgan JAMES not Jones (why can't my ancestors have an UNUSUAL Welsh name???). Other connections all then fall into line. I just presumed being Margaret's cousin, he was named JONES - one should never presume!
