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

Australia / birth and death records
« on: Wednesday 06 January 21 23:00 GMT (UK)  »
Researching
Margaret Porter nee Bennett born ab 1842 NSW (no record at BDM)
Married Charles Porter 1863 Tamworth NSW (have certificate) per BDM
after Charles died ten years later she started using Bennett again (have his death certificate) per BDM
Margaret hung herself 15 March 1884 at Inverell NSW (Inquest performed) have documents
BDM NSW have no record of birth or death also cant find any burial details
I would like to know her parents were where born and buried, with all the certificates I have all they say is she was born NSW parents not known one of her parents were Aboriginal because the inquest records her as being "half-caste" this may be the reason her records werent kept.
