Mary J Carpenter
« on: Friday 13 December 19 03:50 GMT (UK) »
Mary was born 14 Feb 1889 in Uralla NSW. She was 6/13 children of Job Carpenter and Sarah Billington. The family story about Mary is that when she was 16 she went to town one day and never came back. The belief was that she was living with a miner or ran away with the circus. Really? No-one looked for her or reported her missing? Would have been about 1905. I cannot find any trace of her other than her birth certificate. Can anyone help?

Hi,

Have you checked the 1902 marriage #4854  registered Quirindi for a Mary J CARPENTER and a Walter TURNER?  I have only looked at the online index.  1889 + 12 = 1901, and NSW law at that time allowed girls to marry at age 12,  but consent would have been needed and should be noted on the registration.

Only two deaths with parents Job and Sarah. Another two have Mary with a middle name:

15697/1936 FOWLER Mary YOUNG

20409/1942 BONNING Mary NEWTOWN.

If she did join a circus, she could have ended up in another State, of course.

Yes, that’s a possibility but family records suggest she was still there when she was 16.

Thank you Robert but Mary and May were two seperate people; it was a large family. Mary b. 1889 May b. 1894 and died same year. Family records have Mary still in Uralla in 1905 but then she disappeared.
