Hi Diana, Many thanks for checking for me. I think the Mary A. LAYTON who died in 1888 must have been another as I'm pretty sure the one I'm after died before her husband remarried in 1857. Does it have a place for the 1888 death? Cheers Jan >Jan, I checked the Aust. Vital records and Mary Ann's marriage entry was the >only entry for any CORINGS. She must have arrived in Australia alone. >There was a Death entry for Mary A. Layton in 1888. >Diana Sydney
