Thomas Faulkner died 24/4/1917 and Judith his wife died 28/5/1893 (poisoned herself).
Could someone please supply me with any issue to this couple. Thomas was a store keeper, and possible son is William b c 1860, and John James Faulkner no info, just his name listed on lands title.
Thanks
Evie

Thomas FAULKNER married Judith OBRIEN 5 Feb 1856
He was aged 20, she 19, both single, fathers not recorded.
Mintaro (church not recorded) District: Cla
Book 26 Page 195

There are three children's births registered but the mother's name is recorded as Julia OBRIEN on all three. These are the only ones in South Australia.
27 Jun 1865 John
18 Jul 1867 Elizabeth
17 Aug 1869 Michael
Michael has died 1873, Farrells Flat, aged 4
His mother's death is also recorded as Julia - not Judith - 1893, aged 59, Yarcowie
So it appears that Judith was a mistake on the marriage registration. Which is odd - as I have one exactly the same! in Melbourne, my Julia's marriage was recorded as Judith and since she couldn't write she didn't notice.
I'll look in Victoria for earlier births.

No birth registered for a Mary c1868 to Thomas FAULKNER and Judith/Julie OBRIEN in South Australia.
The marriage -
OTOOLE John 25 years Status Single Father John OTOOLE
FAULKNER Mary 19 years Status Single Father Thomas FAULKNER
20 Aug 1878
At St Simon & Jude Church Yarcowie Cla 116/675
There are many bdm's missing from the South Australian indexes. Many births were never registered and and even those registered with the local registrars did not arrive at the Adelaide Registry. There was also sections of the community [Roman Catholics and the Scottish] who were reluctant to register their childrens' births.
According to an online tree these are the children of Thomas FAULKNER and Julia OBRIEN.
Thomas 1856–1931, Mary Agnes 1858-1937, William 1860-1943, Elizabeth 1863-1864, John James 1865-1959, Elizabeth Ann 1867-1948 and Michael 1869-1873. Only John, Elizabeth and Michael's births were registered.
According to the tree, this Mary Agnes married John OTOOLE.
