Australia / 1841 Census
« on: Thursday 04 March 21 23:21 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all Im trying to find the 1841 census record for Curban NSW,
The book "9 Dormer, M., 1983. The Bushman’s Arms" says that the 1841 census show there was 17 people living there but Ive tried searching the states census records for the town including various spelling also nearby towns and nothing shows up and county (Bligh) am I missing something?
In the 1830 Curban was known as Bennetts-run then Kirban now Curban

It does say Alias as this is from another entry i have, But how does he know if she was born in Tamworth? or was it because it was the closest major town?

You are correct it does say Alias because I have other entry books that refer to her as Alias as well they all have the same inquest number 331, As to being born in Tamworth I wondered about that because that record is the only one that states Tamworth, would Tamworth been added because it was the closest major town? How did WW Fraser know where she was born?

The reason I say she used her maiden name is because on Charles death cert it says "Informant Margaret Porter" but under "spouse" it says Margaret Bennett, this is why I am looking for more official documentation other than Inquest entries, I have entered both names on NSW BDM also variants of the names also on Ancestry.com and nothing other than her marriage and Charles death certs,

...after Charles died ten years later she started using Bennett again
1. On the inquest documents they name her Bennett alias Porter, also in 5 newspaper adds of the time

Where do you see birthplace NSW....~ 1842 for Margaret PORTER nee BENNETT?
2. On their marraige cert per NSW BDM (maiden name Bennett) (Birthplace NSW) (Parents unknown)

What children have you identified for Margaret?
3.Thomas, Caroline, John all born Coonabarbran NSW
