Hello
I am searching for shipping records to Australia for Catherine HACKLER b. 1849 Germany.
I have a marriage record in1868 for George SCOTT (b. c1846 Scotalnd) & Catherine HACKLER at Cooma, NSW.
I have found records for 4 children James, Christina, Margaret & Hanorah.
George died 1934 & is buried at Rookwood. I have a death date for Catherine of 23 May 1927 however I am unable to find a record. I have also not been able to find a Naturalisation record. Any leads would very much be appreciated. Thank you.

Have you searched here -
http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/familyHistory/search.htm

Spelling variations in names can make it difficult at times, to find naturalisation records.  There is also a possibility that Catherine was not naturalised.

Buried at Rookwood Presbyterian, Sec 5E, Row 14, Grave#1253

SCOTT George Date of death 8 Apr 1934  aged 88 years.
Our father, inserted by his children


I gather you have a family tree that you are validating the records.  Does it name Catherine's parents?

Cheers

No mention of Catherin's parent's & I have tried several name variations looking for her entry into Australia. I know that she was here by 1868 for her marriage in Cooma, NSW. I can not find her name on a shipping passenger list.

Catherine's death notice is here http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16375313?searchTerm=catherine%20scott  There were more children than you have on your first post.  Use George as the father's name and Cooma as the place when you search the BDM - it looks as though Catherine was "Catherine Dorothy".  The "Darcel" could be a mistranscription as Martin appears to be their son from the death notice.  You can cross check children's marriages on BDM from the death notice.

Thanks Debra, I will follow up on the names in the death notice.
I am still looking for Catherine's arrival into Australia.

As Catherine SCOTT's listed residence was in Leichardt when she died then this would be her death registration:

SCOTT  CATHERINE  d. 1927 NEWTOWN #9540
Parents: GEORGE  & MARY A

Thanks Merlin.
I'm wondering if Catherine arrived in Australia with any family members & wondering if anyone has access to immigration records for any HACKLER who arrived in Austrlai prior to 1868.

I'll have a look though my German emigration cd's & books to see if I can find anything for you. But I am thinking that her name is not spelt correct on the marriage registration, could be more like HINKLER or something similar  :)

Does the marriage certificate say she is from Germany?
