Marriage Kennedy/ Cummins 1851 East Maitland Australia

[marg06]

Denis Kennedy married Mary Cummins 21 Jan 1851 at East Maitland NSW Australia. I am seeking more information on the family history of Mary.

Do you have her death certificate?   That may say who her parents were.

Also, the witnesses to the marriage could provide clues.

Could this be a relative?

Maybe you could tell us a little more of what you know, it will save everyone going over old ground.
Did she happen to die young at Cooma NSW?

Possible birth Mary A CUMMINS b1830 to William and Mary Cummins.
Possible death Mary KENNEDY 1859 daughter of William and Mary.

Thank you all for your great help. I started with only a name on a marriage certificate and now have many avenues to follow. I know that Michael Kennedy married Sarah Essie Borthistle on 20 March 1883 at Christ Church Enmore Sydney NSW. They had 5 children Alice Ethel (1884) James (1885) William (1887) Violet (1889) and Essie Norma (1895) all born in or close to Newtown Sydney NSW.
