Hi Sue, Marcellas DAY re-married Mary TAPPER at Figtree in 1851, and had four more children (Marcellas, Sophia J, Henry and Salina). V18514487 74B/1851 DAY MASSELLES TAPPER MARY JC Buy Now And yes, that death would be his, although his father was William ... Marcellas Jr married Isabella MACDONALD at Bega in 1877, and was still having children into the late 1880s. So, Margaret DAY's husband was back in circulation, and had re-married ... but it is still a puzzle, what happened to *her*, after the birth of son George BLINMAN in 18380 Many thanks.

Hi. John Punyer had three children as shown in NSW BDM's Sarah 1850 subsequent died. Selena 1854 and Elizabeth 1857 all with Mother's given name of Selina/Selena. Death records appear a bit confused, fathers name as Infant etc. Is this fairly common or might the error be on the index but clear on the certificate. I haven't been able to find a marriage record (perhaps in those days not an uncommon oversight) Is there any way that Mother Selina's surname might be found. Ted

The case I am speaking of is Margaret DAY, formerly MANSFIELD, born c1807.

Shortly afterwards, Margaret seems to have disappeared. She is not mentioned in Charles BLINMAN's Will , although son George BLINMAN is, and her death record cannot be found (Charles died in 1842). But, there is this marriage, in 1839, in the NSW BDMs: V1839578 123/1839 POACHE WILLIAM DAY MARGARET PN Now, POACHE appears to be wrong - no other entries for that name - but what about ROACH?

Only question, really, is whether she could have re-married when her legal husband, Marcellas DAY, was still in the Colony ... and I guess that depends on whether transportation to Moreton Bay counted as a transportation permitting re-marriage. Clues, anyone? Not sure whether I have hit on a solution, or whether this is yet another Margaret DAY :-) Cheers, Lesley (In sunny, rather *hot*, Melbourne)

Hi Lesley, Moreton Bay was still part of New South Wales in 1828 so I doubt the 7 year law would have applied. When and where did Marcellas Day die? Maybe Margaret was a widow by the time of the second marriage or maybe she married bigamously. Many convicts did. The intent of the 7 year law was that the parties be separated "across the seas" but, as I understand the situation, even though the Government had made this law many Churches would not accept it. The Churches refused to marry people if they knew there was a living spouse in England, Scotland etc. unless the married party could furnish written proof that the spouse was deceased. This lead to some great forgeries in letter writing! Carol

I think I have found Henry's family back in UK. Henry b 1826 Lympne Kent son of Henry and Ann Punyer. This agrees with the possible death of Henry in Australia 1901 Bathurst. He doesn't appear in the 1851 UK census or rather I haven't found him but his brother is listed as "mariner". Lympne near Folkestone Kent is a coastal village likely to produce seamen so Henry could have come to Australia as a seaman and decided to stay. Are their any records that might identify when he arrived. + Ted

Thanks to all responders There maybe a connection between John and Henry and John certainly pushes his luck with the law. John was in a relationship with Selina (no surname found) in the Mudgee/Maitland area around that time. I don't think John married Selina although there were children. John was married back in UK and I'm sure that fact would have been on his record. Would the authorities allow him to marry again over here? The Punyer male line in Kent around this time consisted of Henrys, Williams, Richards and Davids and Johns almost exclusively. There is certainly no shortage of Mary Kellys in the convict register but I've not been successful in identyfying one that married a Henry Kelly, she may not have been convict. There is a death registred in Bathurst 1869 for Mary Punyer father Thomas mother Ann. If this had been a married person would the parents names be included or the spouse? If the dead persons family were still in England would the names be put in the register? These are fairly basic questions but my knowledge is pretty much english practice rather than australian. regards Ted ----- Original Message ----- From: "MargM" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2008 8:47 AM Subject: Re: [AUS-CON] Punyer + Kelly - Info on > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Ted & Magi" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2008 12:38 AM > Subject: [AUS-CON] Punyer + Kelly > > >> In 1854 Henry Punyer married Mary Kelly in NSW >> reg.
