Mary West’s marriage incorrectly listed. Children’s deaths have her as Mary West:

663/1894 SPOTSWOOD James CORNWELL Mary M SYDNEY

2787/1901 PERCY Henry SPOTWOOD Mary W SYDNEY - it should be Piercy and Spotswood, as can be found in family death notices on TROVE.

18476/1948 PIERCY Mary West  parents (CORNWELL) MARY ANN REDFERN

Debra,

What a fabulous document. Many thanks for sharing this as it answers my original question beyond all expectations and/or doubt. And yes, I did omit young Rhoda who was overlooked on the turn of the page. Thanks again.

Dundee,

Many thanks for all your sleuthing which is much appreciated. I feel that I have a much better grasp on this family's history now. What a great community RootsChat attracts - I'm most impressed.

Rebecca, 2nd wife of John, recorded as CORNWALL:

3986/1857 CORNWALL Rebecca AGE 20 YEARS DIED SMITHFIELD PARRAMATTA

What is the surname of the daughter Rebecca who you have deceased in 1950?

Was she first Palmer, then McHardy?

Hello Jamjar,

Yes, you have it. My current understanding is that Rebecca CORNWELL (b 18.5.1869 Parramatta) married first husband George PALMER in 1883 (marriage registered in Sydney) and her second, George McHARDY, on 21.7.1899 at Woolangong. She died on 14.7.1950 in Hornsby.

That’s good, Peter.

What about Sarah Austin? I haven’t been able to work that one out.

Do you have a tree connection to the Holmes Cornwell of Queensland?

Death:

1952   B40533 Holmes John Cornwell parents John Cornwell and Eliza Rayment

1896   B17928 Holmes Cornwell to Margaret Black Kelly

Holmes and Margaret Black Kelly had 10 children between 1897 and 1907 (a set of twins and triplets)

If my memory is correct, they are from the same area as your Holmes. It appears this family came out together as their daughter Julia, as found on the 1871 UK census, married and died in QLD also.

Marriages Sep 1868 Newmarket    3b   865
Cornwell John        
RAYMENT Eliza
