Australia / Re: Jane Pitt (Porter) Died 1902 Longford Tasmania Death certificate/records

Hi all
Ive been playing around with some of the hand writing on the marriage record and I think we might have the spelling wrong with the surname in Cane maybe it could be "Cann" or something similar

https://stors.tas.gov.au/RGD37-1-6p254j2k

I also found a departure from Launceston of "Eliz Cann" on the Ship Tamar bound for Adelaide.

https://stors.tas.gov.au/POL220-1-1

It is such a huge document I havnt been able to find her name in it.
I had search around and found the ship docked in Melbourne on the way to  Adelaide and recommenced her  voyage on the 3oth of March 1849.

But I did find an arrivals document for the "Tamar" in Adelaide, it has a Mrs E. Camm ( hand writing might have been read wrongly)

Maybe I'm heading down the wrong path, but there dosn't seem to be any records of her staying in Tasmania, and the name isn't showing to much in S.A. or Vic.

Hi majm
The mother of your Elizabeth Murphy is different  from the mother I have. Ann (Hannah) Murphy (nee Williams)  is  my  mother of Elizabeth Murphy. Could we be talking about 2 different families, I will investigate  your leads a little further.
thanks

Yes , I do believe I did  :'( tried to delete the other one but couldn't.  I will have to have a good talking to myself about this matter over a couple of wines. It  might be the only way to get my head around this Elizabeth Murphey, complicated lady!!!!

Correct. No children between Elizabeth and Alexander Mckenzie or Elizabeth and William Hughes.
All the children mentioned were fathered by John Porter as far as I know.
Im going to have a good hunt around South Australian archives, something else I remembered is Elizabeths daughter Jane Porter married Thomas Pitt. Thomas Pitt 's sister Margaret married Thomas Alexander and they both moved to South Australia, I don't know when they did this but they are both buried in the West Terrace Cemetery in Adelaide. Maybe just a coincidence, but who knows.
Will let you know what I find
thanks

Thanks for your help

Hi
Have been doing some more hunting I have found 2 William Hughes death records ( Elizabeth Murphy's 3rd Husband )

https://stors.tas.gov.au/RGD35-1-9p360j2k

https://stors.tas.gov.au/RGD35-1-54p153j2k

I also found  Death records for Elizabeth Hughes (no mention of husband)
https://stors.tas.gov.au/RGD35-1-16p173j2k

I am starting to think if she left him and maybe headed to South Australia or else where, I havnt investigated if any of her children left Tasmania and headed to the mainland, she might of followed.

I suppose there is even the prospect she left William Hughes and married someone else.The below record matches some areas of her life. Even the fact that Elizabeth on all her marriage records could not write and signed with a X mark

https://stors.tas.gov.au/RGD37-1-6p254j2k

Any help???????

hi
Thanks so much, I have some of the info that you have given but not so much detail. I info I have includes where each person was born, married and died from tomb stones and newspaper articles,but  there dosnt seem to be written proof in any parish records.
Elizabeth Murphy really is of great interest because her marriage record to John Porter reads her name as "Elizabeth Mckenzie" but I know she is a Murphy from a early marriage notice and other info from the web. I know also her father was a first fleeter and I need the proof of name change to Mckenzie when married to show the link to a first fleeter. Silly I know but it does tie up loose ends for this section of family.
thanks Azabeer
