SHEPHERD, Mary in SA.

[nudge67]

My gt-gt-gt-grandfather, Thomas Henry EDWARDS (1800-1890) of Balhannah, SA, apparently re-married nearly two years after the death of my gt-gt-gt-grandmother. The second wife  is named Mary SHEPHERD, and they married on the 27th July, 1876.

Can anyone please provide more details on Mary?

Cheers

PS, is there a death for Mary EDWARDS nee MOUNT nee SHEPHERD?

[krisesjoint]

You are Welcome Nudge.

The marriage is on the IGI extracted record

Thomas MOUNT = Mary SHEEPHERD  05 DEC 1824 Cupar, Fife, Scotland (I wondered when I saw the name Fife continue on through the children)

Cheers Kris

I am not seeing the death BISA gives 12 July 1891 but nothing showing. No Mary anything dying on that date.  Where did Thomas Edwards die?

[nudge67]

Thomas Edwards died in May 1890 at the Mt Schank, SA residence of his son of the same name, though I have seen the 9th and the 14th both mentioned in family histories. The Bellum Hotel at Mt Schank is still in the family.

If you could check the date of his death, that would be great.

Cheers

OK answered my own question.  

I did see the only one old enough died in the South East but wondered why he would have been there when they were from Balhannah but I now see BISA says that was the case and he was buried at Balhannah.
