Ellen Collins m. Michael Delaney in Yass 1842, died 1843

[Scottie Lark]

Hello

I'm looking for information about Ellen Collins who married Michael Delaney (ex convict) in Yass in 1842 and died 1843.

Please note that a recent mtDNA test confirms that she was not Aboriginal (as some have suggested) but European, probably Irish.

There is an old thread which mentions “two sisters, Ellen & Mary Collins who arrived on the Duchess of Northumberland 3rd Oct 1836. They turned up in Yass...”.

Does anyone know when this Ellen Collins was in Yass and what became of her?

Thanks

Bill

Do you have the marriage certificate of Michael DELANEY and Ellen COLLINS. As you probably know, the area code "LF" on the NSW BDM means Yass, Roman Cathoilic. What information does it give about her?

Thank you for your replies.

Michael Delaney b. 1846 is the son Michael Delaney and his second wife Catherine Hanon.  I'm looking for information about his first wife, Ellen Collins (m. 1842, d. 1843).

It's extremely unlikely that Ellen Collins was born in Yass in 1822 if she was European, as a mtDNA test confirms.

Do you have the marriage certificate of Michael DELANEY and Ellen COLLINS. As you probably know, the area code "LF" on the NSW BDM means Yass, Roman Cathoilic. What information does it give about her?

Thank you. Yes, I know that it was a Catholic marriage but, no, I don't have the marriage certificate yet. The transcript of their marriage record on Find My Past has no other information about her but I will check the actual certificate.

Cheers

Bill
