Sue, that's great you've found that info on George's house.   Mary Donnelly married George Briscoe, our G Grandparents, so that all comes together.

Sue,
In 1876, the following offspring, Joe Donnelly b. 1839, Jane b. 1843, Frances b. 1850 and Sarah b. 1861 were all living at the time of Timothy Donnelly's death.   Unusual only to have Joe's name on death notices.    Jane b. 1843 married Edwards and moved to NZ initially, Frances b. 1850 m. Crome and Sarah b. 1861 m. Tiffin.


Why is Mary not listed in 1876? :(

I think this marriage is for a daughter of the family.

698/1859 BRISCOE George
DONNELLY Mary
SYDNEY

It looks to me as the surname BRISCOE is what is intended here in a death notice for Eliza in 1900.
Printed as BRISCOF

It looks like T. (Timothy?) DONNELLY was selling the home of George. August 1867. Perhaps George had been admitted to the asylum or no longer living there.

I see that “posy of flowers” as a wee black puppy on her lap!

Now you say that, I can see a little doggy head/face.

If it is .......Was it usual to put anilmas in a photo of this type?

When daughter Lucy died in 1856, she was aged 14 months. according to this death notice.  The youngest daughter (Reg 1107/1856)

However this birth would give a death age of closer to 5 years. ???

Interesting.

I think there had been disharmony in the marriage of Timothy and Eliza.

Perhaps the other offspring were not particularly fond of father.

I'm sure you have read the death notices which I linked for you in my reply#11, following relpy #10 clarifing names and dates.


The only living offspring mentioned is Joseph.  Does this agree with the information on the 1876 DC which you have?

Marriage of John Blackham, Nailer, Father John a Nailer, 21 Oct 1873 is on FreeREG to Mary Ann MELLOR

So would be the right age for the 1881 census (cited above)  with wife of the right first name.

The 1881 census shows one John BLACKHAM aged 29 , a nail maker as head of household with his wife Mary aged 34.
They are at Field Lane Belper.  He states born Belper.
