Hi Listers Thank you all for your replies to my Maitland Asylum query. Haven't had time to follow up any suggestions yet. Just wanted to ask if anyone knows whether or not the complete NSW (particularly in the Singleton area) Parish Records before 1857 have been transcribed to the NSW BDM index? Would there be more Parish Records available at the Parishes? Trying to find a marriage for 2 ex-convicts John Lilley and Catherine Carmody in about 1843 which is when Catherine obtained her TOL. Her first child was born about 1844. John was buried at All Saints Church of England Singleton in 1850 so maybe this is where they married although Catherine was an Roman Catholic.The children were all born at Patrick Plains. Thanks in anticipation. Wendy IN THE BEAUTIFUL WHITSUNDAY CITY OF MACKAY
