Hi rosball
Thanks very much for these offers. I am trying to find out who my 5xgreat uncle Edward Childs wife and daughter was as he was admitted to Parramatta Asylum in 1891 aged 74 and died in November that year. He was a convict from Felsted, Essex, England born about 1817 and the asylum records say he was a shoemaker and a widower with 1 daughter, no names of his daughter mentioned.
He was in Port Macquarie in 1843 when he was given a ticket of leave. His cert of freedom was granted in 1849.
I did find a possible Edward Childs marriage in 1866 to a Margaret Cooper in Rylstone,NSW, is there a chance you could look up the details of this marriage for me if possible?
Or any Port Macquarie marriages post 1843?
