I've found a tree on Ancestry called OUR FAMILY HISTORY that have more information on the offspring of Mary Arundel Gerard and Mason Gerard Stratford, but when I try to pay for a month subscription it's not accepting my debit card (I don't have a credit card).
Frustrating! Does anybody know why Ancestry isn't accepting a valid debit card?
Anyway, it shows a son or daughter born in 1832 in Italy who died in NSW, Australia. I suppose this is (Henry) Edward Stratford, because the other 2 sons (Henry Mason and Charles Alexander) have died in Victoria.
The other children listed died in:
...... (born Gloucestershire) -
Gloucestershire (born Middlesex) -
Surrey (born in Cuneo, Piemonte Italy) - I think it's Charlotte Florence.
Livorno (born in Livorno, Italy) - I think it's Jane.
Lancashire (born in Liege, Belgium, 1846) - I think this must be wrong.
London (born in Livorno, Italy) - I think it's Mary.
Surrey (born in Trier-Saarburg, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany) - I'm certain it's Georgina.
Victoria, Australia (b. 1830) - I'm certain it's Charles Alexander.
And a very intriguing one:
Choteau, Montana (born in Collier, Florida, USA) -
(I know family trees are not to be trusted...)
If the son who was born in 1832 and died in NSW is not Henry Edward Stratford (who was older, according to other sources), I can't find any Stratford (and mispellings) on the NSW BDM death registers database that could be him, unless he died just after he arrived in NSW, i.e. between Dec 1852 and 1856.
Interestingly, there's a Henry Stafford who died at sea in 1857, and a Henry E. Stafford who died at Woollahra in 1890, father Charles and Mother Mary G.
