Rhonda on the 1884 death registration of Mary IRVING you will get no more info than what you have now it wasn't till 1908 that deaths in South Australia mentioned where born and how long in colony and number of children alive and deceased already If they were Catholic then I strongly suggest you have someone look at Catholic Church registers that we hold at Genealogy SA too as they sometimes have tip bits of extra info but this is not a rule I see they married in the Wesleyan mission (Methodist) but one or other may have been a Catholic - long shot of course a look for the church record might be more helpful if its available still probably at Genealogy SA too Shipping records would be a good place to look also held at Genealogy SA If they married here in SA and were ex-convicts then they would have come overland or by boat at that time. Many ex-convicts drifted over to South Australia in the early days when their terms expired some even changing their surnames the web site TROVE wasn't fruitful for a Obituary or clue either you have two Thomas IRVING one in Naracoorte and one in Robe in the directory 1890 - One is Thomas Halliday IRVING (the middle name is your big clue - its usually a surname taken from the Maternal side of the family mother or grandmother but not always Who is this Thomas Halliday IRVING?) died 6 October 1898 age 71 Farmer (born circa 1827) Hundred of Robertson , Robe District 1890 Sands and McDougall directory = Thomas H IRVING Farmer near Naracoorte 1890 Thomas IRVING sheep farmer near Lucindale (thats near Robe to) 1899 Thomas IRVING sheep farmer near Lucindale Surname: IRVING Given Names: Isabella Date: 1859-12-26 Sex: F Father: Thomas IRVING Mother: Mary Elizabeth MADDEN Birth Place/Residence: Mount Pleasant ( there is a reference to a "Thomas IRVING" his wife dying in Trove with a Alias of "CALIFORNIA TOM" but seems to be a generation older District Code: Tal Symbol: Book: 18 Page: 295 Cross Reference: Surname: IRVING Given Names: Jessie Core Date: 1877-01-22 Sex: F Father: Hinnas IRVING Mother: Mary Elizabeth MADDEN Birth Place/Residence: Blanchetown District Code: Ang Symbol: V Book: 177 Page: 373 Cross Reference: Surname: IRVING Given Names: Isabella Ethel Mazral Date: 1881-03-16 Sex: F Father: Joseph Anthony MAZRAL Mother: Mary Elizabeth IRVING @ (nee) MADDEN Birth Place/Residence: Morgan District Code: Bur Symbol: X Book: 257 Page: 164 Cross Reference: See also: MAZRAL Isabella Ethel John Day Volunteer at Genealogy SA also known as South Australian Genealogy & Heraldry Society Inc DEATH DETAILS: DATE: 1884 NO: 137/207 SURNAME: IRVING FIRST NAME: Mary HUSBAND: Thomas IRVING (H) DIED DISTRICT: Robe (SOUTH AUSTRALIA) The marriage details for Mary MADDEN and Thomas IRVING: Year Date Surname Given Names Age Mar.
