My son in law's great Uncle said that they thought she was a nun. I couldn't see how, as they weren't catholic. Cheers for now Britt.

This link is a biography of Sister Phyllis , an Anglican [or High Church of England] of The Community of the Sisters of the Church. Hobart. This sister worked in the Hobart area, establishing educational facilities for children notably St. Michael's Collegiate School. In my memory of the group, the sisters wore full  black nunly regalia.
   
The group  was also in Melbourne and the school they founded still flourishes in St Kilda.

Thank you for the cemetery record. We were there about 4 years ago, and that's when I found the alternate surname for Charles and James Douglas also Dougal. Mary Ann's record states she was born at sea, nothing is recorded on Charles. I will buy the certificate & hope that there may be something on it that  may help. If only the Tasmanian certificates were as informative as the Victorian ones.

Ambly I'm sorry, I was very tired last night & in looking tonight, I see where I made a big boo boo. Thomas who is buried at Cornelian Bay, was the brother of Henry, who is buried with his wife Emma Jane at Middleton. These two men (Henry & Thomas), were the sons of Charles or James Douglas or Dougall, who is buried at Cornelian Bay. (clear as mud?) Regards, Britt.

ISSUE: Four children: Henry, Ida, Susan, Charles.
At least 3 were born before 1864. Only one of the 4 has been found as a registered birth:

Even stevens! I made an equal boo-boo, when I summarised the 4 children of Charles & Emmaline - I wrote 'Charles' by mistake, it should have been 'Thomas', that's why I was confused as to who Thomas was     

A substantial difference between a year of birth abt 1814 as indicated by his age at death and a year of birth abt 1836 indicated by age at marriage - a generational number of years. Will be interesting so learn what is on the death record and who informed etc.

Cheers

Hello Sue,
Thank you so much for the address of the Anglican Convent in Hobart. I wasn't aware that there was such an order. I will write to them and see if they have a mention of Ida Douglas in their records. Britt.
