Henry Davy/Davey death circa 1852 Australia? (possibly SA, VIC or NSW)
« on: Sunday 07 February 16 05:44 GMT (UK) »
Hello all,

I am struggling to find the death of my ancestor Henry Davy who came with his wife MARY ANN SMITH + family in 1848 aboard the 'Sibella' from Cornwall. Mary Ann remarried in 1853, and Henry + Mary Ann had five daughters the last one Martha Davey in 1851 in Adelaide. This leaves his death to around that time. Can anyone help me at all? I am very very keen to find the names of his parents in particular as there is a lot of confusion around his place of birth and parentage - three possible sets of parents so I would dearly love to narrow it down! I know from his immigration record that he would have been born circa 1810. Thanks in advance Anna

Hi there,

There's a birth in South Australia in 1853 for Martha DAVEY, but the index I am looking at has her parents as Thomas DAVEY and Martha APPLEDOOR. 

https://www.genealogysa.org.au/resources/online-databases.html

18 March 1853
The Murray/Burra District. 
#6/180

FindMyPast has Genealogy SA transcriptions.

Cheers,  JM

Thanks - that was my post as well :) I can find one of his other daughter CHRISTIANA DAVEY born 1848 in Adelaide, so i'm not sure why martha is not coming up either. There was one more daughter, Mary Ann who was born in 1850 in Adelaide. Henry Davey is proving very elusive!

What document gives you Martha as Henry's daughter?

And may I add to the question .....  From Mary Ann's 1853 marriage, what information is recorded about her status .... does it actually give her status as Widow.   Which colony is that 1853 marriage registered in?

Yes - Christiana was born on the 'Sibella' coming to australia, along with her parents HENRY DAVEY + MARY ANN SMITH - plus her two older sisters Emma Mary and Elizabeth. Two further daughters are listed (Mary Ann + Martha) from other family researchers. Elizabeth Davey married in 1853 in Victoria, which makes me think the family moved there before heading to NZ where the mother MARY ANN SMITH remarried.
