Is this record showing 1 child or 3 children cant understand it.

Yes, I realised that after I posted and edited it out!

The index  for Hugh's death registration has Margaret's status as WIFE and her maiden name .... so she is unlikely to have disappeared from the memory of the family.   Alice needed to be 21 to marry without needing to seek consent from a family member.   Who is recorded on her m.c. re consent to marry when she married in 1879 .... how is her mum recorded on that?

we have been trying to dig up all  of this. Nothing on TROVE as a reported missing woman or assaults or body found or coroners inv,    have really tried to rule that stuff out already .

The family dont seem to know all that   info about  when she went missing  but it  was pretty  soon they thought . 

Have now found she had  a brother   who died there ill try and load those cert and see how it goes

[susiee]

im going to try and load these certs   again now

[susiee]

Im afraid my lap top is dieing as i am trying to load all these things   !!!
so i'm going to have to get someone else to do it  later as im now loading an external hard drive   to rescue stuff so   and i  will have to   sort that first  but i have asked some oone else  to  log on here later  to put that info on hopefully.

Mary can be a mis-read for Marg.  So I wonder about the 44 year old whose death at E MELB HOS is indexed in 1886 in Vic BDM .... #2412.   Possibly at Find A Grave as Mary DOUGHARTY, Melbourne Gen Cemetery
Plot MGC  RC  Comp  S  no 810

Although the location of the DIXON couple and Hugh DOUGHERTY are the same ( Section x, Grave 139) the headstone at the site reads

DIXON
Sacred to the memory of Henry Edward Dixon of Albert Park passed away 15 November 1931 aged 75 years.
 Alicia Dixon Jul 1951.
A life made beautiful by kindly deeds.

So no MI for Hugh.

Is Margaret DOUGHERTY missing because you can see (newspapers) that people are looking for her?

Or....in researching her life in Australia you are not finding her death record?

Is this your family -

Census 1861   @ 11 Frederick (?) St Liverpool   (in household with others)

DOUGHERTY Hugh          22y  seaman       b. Ireland
DOUGHERTY Margaret     20y                    b. Ireland
DOUGHERTY Alice             4m      dau        b. Ireland
