Missing Daughter
« on: Wednesday 15 January 20 05:28 GMT (UK) »
I have just worked out that there is a missing daughter to Stephen Robins(Robbins/Robens) and his wife Sarah Catt.
1.   I have Elizabeth Malvina, born 10 Jan 1842
2.   Next is Adeline Charlotte, born 29 Dec 1843
3.   Next is Sophia born in 1848
4.    Then is Eliza Mary Ann born 6 May 1853
5.   Then is Hettie Rhoda born 1858
6   Then is Martha J born 1865
BUT I have a couple of advertisements for the marriage of  Charlotte, THIRD daughter, in 1872, and Eliza Mary Ann, FIFTH daughter.

I have not been able to find any information regarding daughter number two, between Elizabeth Malvina, and Adeline Charlotte.

If any one came point me in the direction of finding out when daughter number two was born, I would be very grateful.

Below are the advertisements regarding the marriages for the two daughters which I have been able to find.

Do you know when her parents died. The daughters names might be mentioned in their death notices.

I think you have Hetta and Eliza in the wrong order. By date of birth Eliza born 1863 is the fifth daughter.

Thank you all for your interest and help.

Having checked Stephens death certificate, I found mention of daughter Sarah. After checking, I found that she was born 1 Nov 1839. This means that she was conceived on board the Neptune, the ship which brought Stephen and Sarah out from England, and arrived 27 Sept 1839. Thus she was the first daughter, with the newspaper reports correct. I had not found her when I was going through the NSW BDM's.

Also, I had not thought to check the death certificates of Stephen and Sarah, until you mentioned it Oops :-[ :-[ :-[

Yes there were two sons Stephen. The one born 1850 died 1853, death registered in Alexandria NSW. No details beyond that at the moment.

Eliza was born 1853  and Hetta in 1858.

Again, many thanks for your help.
