I meantime to add that, only that the name seems to exist in the family line.
I did find an Ancestry tree that lists an older sister , Martha but no confirmed documentation

Thanks Sue, I can’t answer why they were quartered together unless because of the same surname they were accepted as a couple, but you are right that it doesn’t make sense, which is why I have posed the question on here, has me questioning the 1851 census as well. The death of Eliza seems legitimate

Okay, lots of replies which is great, the Martha has me baffled as well because I can’t find a sister named Martha unless she is a cousin. William’s headstone would have been placed sometime after his death , obviously, and whoever did may have got Eliza’s death incorrect which would explain 1844, but it seems she was still alive in 1851 census. The only conclusion is the headstone is wrong. More searching for Martha is required.

Australia / Renton, William & Eliza

Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone may be able to help trace William and Eliza Renton née Marshall, who arrived in Victoria from Scotland, 23 October 1852 aboard the “FLORA”. I can find William with Agnes and James if I have the correct ship. On Wiliiam’s headstone in Geelong his death is listed as 1873 and memorial to his first wife Eliza who died Ballarat 1852 aged 38. William remarried in 1855 to Hannah Sinclair. I don’t know what happened to Eliza and haven’t found any records for her. Any help would be appreciated
Regards

Many apologies for my late reply, I wouldn’t have thought that William was Roman Catholic but I have no evidence either way, so little is known of him so nothing is out of the question
Cheers Craig

Hi guys, thanks to every one who responded to my search. I have a further note after some searching of records regarding the name Helen McKenzie Marshall in Tasmania. Not sure if you would call it a sound theory, I have found no links of Helen to the McKenzie Clan. I have however discovered something in her husband Sidney Marshall's family that may hold the answer. Sidney's older brother by 3 years Frederick joined the 78th Highland Regiment of Foot in 1845 and was stationed in Edinburgh, this regiment used the tartan of the McKenzie Clan as I understand it because it was founded by the McKenzie's. Also Frederick's wife was born Helen Robertson, they married in 1860. Helen Robertson's parents were Duncan Robertson and Christina McKenzie, if Helen Marshall knew of this I'm thinking she may have adopted the idea of McKenzie from Sidney's family.
Interested in anyone else's thoughts.
Cheers
Craig

Thanks Lu, Cora's age is stated as 75 on cemetery records which is why I have equated her to the 1882 date. Her fathers obituary states there were 5 sons and 6 daughters, two had predeceased him,  unknown why both births were recorded as male.  There is another thought that William Marshall travelled to New Zealand with Leslie George Alfred Barwick, Leslie was the same age , born 30 July 1879, they would have grown up together at Cleveland. Leslie settled in NZ and married in 1803 to Mary Ryan, he became a bridge worker and later a cellarman, he died in Dunedin. Thanks for all the work on checking deaths of the William's

The first William died as an infant, yes there are two unnamed births 1879 and 1882; both recorded as male. The 1882 birth was actually a girl named Cora and by other records that provide that conclusion, the previous thread was 9 years ago and I was hoping a fresh look may have found some new information
