Christiana Munro, daughter of John and Margaret. Who were they?

[majm]

good    so your EVERSON family were in Sydney and suburbs by 1860s ... and you know for certain that the lass on the 1840 marriage arrived on the Lady McNaughton .... 

I am still trying to join up the dots to the lass on the Lady McNaughton and the lass marrying in 1840 as per the marriage cert...

Yep. Interestingly, apart from arriving the same year, both Christiana's were married in Manning river district but five years apart.
I also know this is the correct Christiana, as a chap who is president of the Canberra Geneological Society, who has been searching for nine years, confirmed it. We are both matched by DNA. He's now given up.

PS: Yes, they were in Sydney. Everson was a constable in the Hunter but became a painter (unsuccessful) in Sydney (Botany).

Something odd there ...  Whittingham in the Northumberland County is NOT in the Manning River district ...  over 200 kms apart ...

On NSW BDM site the summary says both marriages were in MR. Maybe an error.

[majm]

 Why do you think MR is Manning River ?   

NSW BDM website has Early Church Codes.   I posted link on one of the current threads. 

MR is NOT the NSW BDM code for Manning River.  MR is the NSW BDM code for CoE, Oakville, Wittingham, Wollombi.    JN is the NSW BDM code for Presbyterian, Parramatta.

You need to get to the original parish registers for THREE marriages which are indexed at NSW BDM  giving bride as Christiana/Christina MUNRO


1840  EVERSON = MUNRO
1843 O’BRIEN = MUNRO
1846 PATMORE= MUNRO

Edward EVERSON married Christiana MUNRO, 1840, you have the NSW BDM record for that, ie CofE Oakville, Whittingham, Wollombi
Francis B O’BRIEN married Christiana MUNRO 1846  Vol 30B, line 626  ie CofE, Oakville; Whittingham; Wollombi
Josiah PATMORE married Christina MUNRO 1843.  VOLUME 76, line 1759  JN ie, Presbyterian, Parramatta.

So two of the marriages were Church of England, and in the County of Northumberland, and in ONE of three parishes (either Oakville, or Whittingham or Wollombi)

What denomination is noted on the Immigration paper for your lass arriving per the Lady McNaughton?   

JM

ADD

I should mention that the marriage cert does NOT show the marriage as for St Johns, Wollombi.   
From the NSW BDM's codes: https://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/Pages/family-history/early-church-codes.aspx
MR
Church of England
Oakville; Whittingham; Wollombi
The document seems to point to Whittingham (Wittingham) rather than Wollombi or Oakville parishes.

https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/12873652 Sydney Herald 11 Feb 1842.  Grant by governor of NSW for land for church, glebe etc at Wittingham.    Note, it has not ever been a requirement in NSW for a marriage ceremony to be performed within a Church building.

I think they are all Presbyterian JM. I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong. 

[majm]

I think so too Ruskie.  I am also expecting to be corrected if I am wrong.      

I am very concerned as to which lass was the wife of Edward EVERSON.
