Hello Again, I am really stuck on the identity of MRS. MARIA CLAYTON who was living in Gladstone, Tas. From around 1885 to at least 1901. She was found in the Directory for Gladstone on Ancestry and FMP. I have not found her anywhere else in Tasmania and would dearly love it if someone who has Tasmanian records could find her arrival or life there or departure from the Island. This is not my first visit here and I truly appreciate the help offered in the past, but I just hope another new set of eyes or Registers may find her somewhere at a later date. My lady was born in 1842 in London. With thanks, Robyn --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Hi, Robyn, Mrs Maria Clayton is listed in Gladstone in the Post Office Directory for 1896, in the City Directory for 1890, 1892, 1894, 1896 and 1898. That was all I could find.  If you have any other details that might help in searching for her.... cheers, Elaine - TAS Descendant in Reno, Nevada On Tuesday, July 3, 2018 5:21 AM, Robyn Clarke <[email protected]> wrote: Hello Again, I am really stuck on the identity of MRS.

Hi Elaine, Many thanks for your interest. Yes, these entries, plus 1901 were the only records I could find, but I'm just wondering where to from there. I could not find a Marriage or Death in my search, so where did she go? Her married name was Mrs. Maria Clarke, but Clayton had been used by her Mother and herself earlier in Victoria and Maria had left her violent husband, Thomas Clarke, Miner, of Heathcote area. I have all the available online records relating to her life up to 1881 before this Tasmanian find.

Hi Robyn, I did find one little item that relates to Mrs Clayton, Gladstone in the Trove Tasmanian newspapers from 1884 - Daily Telegraph, 8 April 1884 AN ENGLISH LADY seeks an engagement as housekeeper, or other post of trust; well educated and thoroughly domesticated age 30 years. Apply Miss Dobson, 44 Wellclose Terrace, Blackmail Lane, Leeds, England; or Mrs Clayton, Gladstone. Probably gives you a rough time frame whe she came to Tasmania if you have tracked her in Victoria to 1881. What was she doing in an isolated place like Gladstone? Interesting its both a Tasmanian as well as an English contact for the ad? No idea whether it relates to Maria Clayton herself seeking the employment or an overseas contact ?. Does the name Dobson or the Leeds area connect with Maria's earlier life in England?

Robyn, I have only just looked at your query. I was wondering if you have looked at any of the Divorce Records at all. One would think with a violent husband she would have divorced him. I stumbled across a divorce for a family member similar time frame and it was very informative. It was online though. Maybe you could check both the areas She was living with her husband or where she settled if there are any Divorce records.

I assume that you located the original marriage of Maria Clayton in Victoria to Thomas Clarke 1871/1283.

Hi Robyn, There is an account of a death of a Mrs Clayton at Gladstone 1901, in the Daily Telegraph.
