Hi

If the tree on Ancestry is correct, and the mother of Margaret Florence is Sarah Margaret McCusker, I have some information.  Constantine Cornelius McCusker married Ellen Galbraith, their daughter Sarah Margaret born 01 May 1851 married 1st Thomas McDonald.
 Ellen Galbraith, father Matthew Galbraith , mother Sarah Carter, is part of my Family Tree  ( a lot of information on this family available on the net).
Siblings of Sarah Margaret
 Anthony McCusker changed his surname to HOLTON  he lived in NSW and QLD.  I have Ellen's death certificate and Anthony Holton (son) was the informant.
Mary Jane married William Frederick Charles  WYMAN, he changed his surname to GOLDEN
another sister married a MONKTON ( I think from memory he or his brother was somehow connected to William Ward ( Thunderbolt)
Maybe that is how the name WARD is connected.
 Good luck with trying to sort out this family.

There are also Ward's and Davis's in this tree, but I can't see the connection

Hi

No  Monkton was not related to Thunderbolt, just part of his gang.

HI,

I did see the gazette article when looking through Trove. I have come across a few George Brokenborough's but none seem to fit.
I have been searching for possible deaths for Sarah and George as her marriage certificate states they were deceased when she was married in 1906 I was hoping to find burial records or anything that could lead to a hint.
The only information I have on Sarah and George is what is on Margarets marriage and death record so anything could be possible with this family.

Thanks
Mandy

I think they may have known a few people out this way.

Thanks Everyone for your help and hints.  :)

Sorry Billyblue I only just seen you question asking about George Davis's occupation. On the marriage certificate it states her fathers profession as being a Carrier.

I just thought I would add the witnesses on the marriage certificate are G.Upton and I. Melly.

Thanks

Hi

On the death certificate for Margaret, does it give her date of birth, on one of the tree's on Ancestry it  gives Margaret F Brokenborough date of birth as the 11 March 1879

Hi Everyone,

Just an update on my search for my gg grandmother I am still as lost a ever.

I received the birth certificate for Margaret Florence Brokenborough or Brockenborough as its spelt both ways on the certificate.

Date and Place of Birth - Eleventh March 1879, Warrena Steet Walgett.
Name - Margaret Florence
Sex - Girl
Fathers Details - George Brokenborough, Carrier, age 52, born Wiltshire England.
Marriage - January 1873, Maitland NSW. (One male living)
Mothers Details - Sarah McCosker, age 40, born Pattersoon ?? NSW
Informant - George Brockenborough, Father

Ive tried looking up details on this certificate but nothing seems to add up  ???

Thanks Mandy.
