Henry Davy/Davey death circa 1852 Australia? (possibly SA, VIC or NSW)

Do you know who Mary Ann married?
BTW, Christiana was reg in Adelaide but born on the ship.

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?

Cheers,  JM

I know that MARY ANN went on to Marry WILLIAM HENRY LUKE on 01 OCT 1853 in Castlemain, Victoria. I do not have the certificate so cannot verify that she is a widow, but marrying again so soon after giving birth makes me think that Henry died.

So, from the NZ marriage, does it record Mary Ann DAVEY as a widow?

...... NZ where the mother MARY ANN SMITH remarried.

...... MARY ANN went on to Marry WILLIAM HENRY LUKE on 01 OCT 1853 in Castlemain, Victoria. I do not have the certificate so cannot verify that she is a widow, but marrying again so soon after giving birth makes me think that Henry died.

Something is not making good sense to me, sorry

Mary Anne Davey no status

I see the marriage on my subs site...but what makes you think it is the widow/ex of Henry?

Perhaps you should consider obtaining a copy of the Vic BDM registration for that marriage.  You can download them immediately, and they are usually quite informative.

The index is free to search.   Here is the link.  Noting Mary Anne (with the 'e') is as per the index at that link.

Here is the link for the NSW BDM free to search http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/Pages/family-history/family-history.aspx

There were huge increases in the populations of the colonies of Victoria and of New South Wales due to the gold rushes.

Just bear in mind that civil registration did not commence in the Colony of Victoria until Jul 1853 and if Henry died in Victoria before then and possibly at Castlemaine during the early years of the gold rush, there will be no record unless there was a parish record of his burial and the parish records handed to the Victorian Registry.  Many churches did not comply with the legislation which required them to hand over parish registers.

It is possible that this record also has limited information....and has anyone researching the family purchased the marriage certificate.
