Thomas Chislett/Chisnett (and probably lots of other spellings) Snr aged 24, wife Ellen 22 and child Thomas Jnr aged 3 arrived per 'Kate' in 1854 at Sydney. Sadly daughter Ellen aged 1 died on the voyage out. Ellen remarried in 1856 to Henry Snowden at Carcoar in NSW. Ellen stated she was widow. Have not been able to find death registrations for either Thomas' in NSW. Also checked Victorian BMD. Any help with this 'brickwall' greatly appreciated Regards Vicki Geelong

Hi Vicki, If you can get to a Family History Centre, that has the old NSW ERC (Early Church Records) on micro-film, you may find Thomas' death. I have found in the past, that not all the ERC records seemed to have made it onto the NSW BDM's website. Kind regards, Sherrie. -- http://www.silkweb.com.au/ On Fri, 02 Oct 2009 17:34:23 +1000, Vicki Smith <vjsmith@alphalink.com.au> wrote: > Thomas Chislett/Chisnett (and probably lots of other spellings) Snr aged > 24, wife Ellen 22 and child Thomas Jnr aged 3 arrived per 'Kate' in 1854 > at Sydney.
