Hello to you all

I have been following this saga with interest and wondered if the following might
be the marriage you mentioned.

Marriage in Victoria 1869 Reg 4625
Peter Henderson born Norway married
Jane Elizabeth Heannan born London

I might be wrong but it looks a possibility. 
Sorry if it is not relevant.

Hi,
The following was mentioned with regard the burial of

MARIAN CALDWELL, Presbyterian
              Compt O  Sec   Row   Grave 1608, Aged 43, Date of service 12/02/1890,
also in the grave  CALDWELL, WILLIAM Aged 84, Date of service  02/10/1928
                   CALDWELL, ELIZA  Aged 81, Date of service  22/03/1955.
I would imagine that the Eliza Caldwell that is in this grave is in fact the daughter of Mary Ann/Marion Caldwell, formerly Balli nee Heasman and her second husband William Caldwell. They had a daughter named Eliza Jane Caldwell, born in Kanieri on the 25th  December 1872. I have never found a marriage for this daughter, so it would appear that she has never married. She would have been 82 years of age when she died, not 81 as shown.
I will in the next few days try to locate a death notice in the Melbourne papers, to double check.

P.S. I say I will check for a death notice, however, having said that, I have a visitor arriving for a week, so don't know how much time I am going to have for the next 6 days.

Hi,
Opps, meant to ask, does anyone know of any on-line Melbourne newspaper death  notices that I could check, something along the lines of the Ryerson Index's that are available for the Sydney area.

Hello Raylen,

What an absolutely brilliant find!!

Thank you, thank you!

Yes, it has to be the right people.

Congratulations,

JAP
PS: You've been 'following the saga', eh.  Not the easiest thing to do  ;)
PPS: I've amended Part 2 of my Summary (Page 10) but it's becoming an even great challenge to keep below the 5000 character limit for Part 2 and also for Part 1 (Page 7).  They are probably becoming incomprehensible as I delete words like 'and', 'the', 'a', etc, etc ...
Note: Summaries now moved to Posts 275-277 on Page 19

Hi Annie    :)

I might have to go back and have another look at that passenger list for the "Alexander" ~ where it said "Mary Ann - 7 weeks"  ?     

The baptism records d.o.b. as 1 Dec 1841 which sort of indicates she may have been born during voyage ?
I wonder if those pass. lists from PRO-VIC are the emigration officers lists at point of departure ?   ("7 weeks old  would mean she was born say, early July 1841) ?

Cheers
Lu

Hi   ALL

JAP  .....    O. M. G.  !      G-G Gran had a TOY BOY !

[How 'bad" is that ?   Especially if she was really 52 !
Oh, and another daughter  ...  bet the happy couple were really hoping for a boy ? ]     :o

ANNIE  :   Great thinking   .... possibly Amelia's child.

Yep, I dunno .....   way back I was thinking it may be a child of Jane Elizabeth (the eldest daughter)  ...  but Amelia's a distinct possibility.
