Hi, please could we have some more information - it may assist .... and save us from chasing ghosts that don't exist ... would you please confirm that all you have is the death certificate for Catherine Mitchell nee Barker? Also - where and when did Catherine die and what were the parents names (if any) and the names of children (if any) Also - how old was Catherine approx. per the death certificate? What else may you know? Where were the children born? As for the second husband knowing correct details concerning the first marriage - well - I expect there would be plenty of instances to support the opposite possibility - some women just wouldn't want their new husbands to know the truth .. more info please .. cheers robert Judy Thomas wrote: > Hello list, > > I am searching for the marriage between Catherine BARKER or Catherine > MOORE and Robert MITCHELL, supposedly in Maryborough. > > According to information on Catherine's death certificate, they were > married in Maryborough about 1868.
