Hi Leanne,
Thanks for the information but when I checked age the deceased was 24.  My Mary Hart Kiddell was born 1834 in Exeter Somerset England, its certainly a puzzle why I cant locate her death, unless she remarried.  Even then, her maiden name (Baker) should have been on the death information.  Funnily enough her son William Baker Kiddell and his wife are both interned at Springvale Cemetery!

Hi Kris, What can I say except WOW...how did you manage to find so much information in such a short time when I have been searching for a very long time -= still doesnt answer why George Kiddell jnr was down as born at sea on his marriage cert,  I am pretty certain its one and the same as in bapt for Burrowbridge..very puzzling..I could understand it if his parents were different but def same and I didnt think George Bathe Kiddell's  name would be too common.

Weird part is, George jnr married another of my family..on my Mums side again..we have 3 family connections from intermarriage.

Thanks so much for providing the information..I am really impressed and grateful..now all I need is to find Mary Hart's death and I will be happy!!

Many many thanks
Jan

I have been trying to locate my Gr Gr Grandfather's baptism, so that I might at least find his mother as he was stated as illegitimate on his marriage certificate which took place in St Michaels church Burrowbridge Bridgwater.  George Bathe Kiddell was born abt 1826 but thats all I know except it was in Somerset, and as he had married in his home location (Gr Gr Grandmother Mary Hart Baker was born and lived in Exeter Devon), I am presuming he possibly may have been born in Bridgwater.

I cannot locate him either on census records, or after his marriage either - all 6 except for the 7th were born in Somerset..the family emigrating to Australia in 1869/70.

Another puzzle is that one of their sons born 1858 was apparently born at sea off Melb Victoria Australia yet his birth is registered in Bridgwater.  I obtained this information off his marriage certificate.  Also cannot find Mary Hart Kiddell (nee Baker) death in Australia, NZ, Tas, or UK.  She had apparently died prior to George, who died in 1911 in Victoria.
