Hi Edward,

I assume Margaret is the daughter of Sween & Isabella? If so she most likely married Alexander Binning in Bathurst in 1860. If you buy the marriage certificate it should provide a large amount of information.

Jo 

yes magaret is the daughter of Sween & Isabella & thank you for your help

Among other children born to this couple, there was certainly one named ISABELLA


REG V18621873 45A/ In 1862  BINNING  Isabella
Parents   Alexander & Margaret

It is quite possible this burial etc. is your Margaret despite the incorrect  parents’ names. The informant at the time of death may have been confused about the question or simply did not really know who her parents were.

I would be settling the doubt by purchasing a transcription of the certificate of marriage of Alexander BINNING and Margaret MCDONALD.  On this she  would be providing the information herself and if it is correctly completed her parents’ names and great deal of other information will be shown.

As previously given-

Reg 1306 In 1860 BINNING Alexander
to MACDONALD    Margaret
at BATHURST

Here is a link to what you may find on
Australian certificates-

The couple had a son and, as a long shot, the initial of his second forename  may be of interest.

Birth
Reg 1969 In 1870 BINNING JAMES
Parents    Alexander  & Margaret at SYDNEY

Death
Reg 8776 In 1895  BINNING  James S
Parents Alexander & Margaret at KATOOMBA

Someone with rich resources for NSW may be able to track this man and reveal his second given name.

Here is a death notice  and his second given name was STEWART

Hi

Maybe the Binning is correct http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=mostlytasmanian&id=I26681

Alexander Binning had been married previously (not NSW) to a Christiana. They had a loss of (3) Three children in 1857.... They must have split up as she remarries as Christiana MacDonald in 1858 and he remarries Margaret MacDonald.

They must have been triplets as their births are same year. A surviving son Robert born 1847. died at Bathurst 1907.

Hold the phone......Could there be two Alexanders as his wife Christian/Christiana and he were having children in 1833. Heaps.

Not much making sense now
