An inquest was held at Bathurst in 1842 for a Thomas LINSKEY who died from natural causes.

Thank you so much for all the effort folk are going too to help me, it is so much appreciated.
I don't have any of the children's marriage certificates. I did look for some information on deaths but no luck there either. It is interesting that she would have been 32 when marrying if her death age is 70.

Yes so many variations of the spelling of surname. That Victorian marriage looks interesting

Interesting regarding Thomas Linskey as the only son of Alice born in 1845 was Thomas so a good lead thank you. They did live around the Bathurst area.

Hi Dundee,

Just wondering where you saw the inquest for Thomas Linskey? There is a convict of the same name so maybe Alice was married to him in Ireland and came to NSW either on the same ship or on another ship.

The registers of coroner's inquests is on Ancestry.  The marriage was in Sydney in 1837.

It is likely that Thomas was the one who arrived in 1828 but he was free by 1837 so there are no marriage permission documents which would have given more information about this Alice's origins.

Well done finding that 1837 marriage Debra, not sure how I missed it last night.  :-[

Both marriages and the children's births were before civil registration started so the transcription is from the church records and that is all you will find.


However, as JM says on the thread about missing info - often further information such as marital status, parents' names etc were recorded on the parish register and not on the transcription sent to the NSW BDM. Finding the actual register is the tricky part, though not impossible.

There are a few mentions on trove of Thomas LYNSKEY/LINSKEY. Arrived 1828 on the Marquis of Huntly, 24, from County Mayo. Obtained Certificate of Freedom in 1834, and seems to have been a Police Constable after that.

That is only after civil registration started.  The transcriptions before 1856 are directly from the church registers, after 1856 they are from the returns sent to the Registry.

On Alice Smith's (Linskay) death is state (Father Linsky). I have a feeling that as Alice Danaher not Danhar she married Thomas Linskey in 1837. It may have never been revealed that she married Thomas Linskey and perhaps her family always thought she was Alice Linskay before her marriage to William Paton. It is a little suspicious that Thomas Linskey died around 1842 and Alice Linskay married William Paton in 1842. I can't find a death for William Paton, I wonder if his death was also little suspicious.
I think I am getting ahead of myself but love the detective work.   Thank you all so much
