Title: Isabella Francis STEWART or Mary Ann WILKINSON
Post by: Reesoz on Sunday 09 August 09 05:39 BST (UK)
A friend is trying to trace a Spanish connection due to a health problem which apparently comes down through the female line. The 2 Great grandmothers she is looking for are-
Isabella Francis Stewart married Charles Lewis Slack in NSW Australia in 1878 (will apply for the marriage certificate but Stewart certainly doesn't sound Spanish!)
Mary Ann Wilkinson married William Henry Stanley C1873 she thinks in Australia.
I have a triple image eye problem at the moment so having trouble looking records up, hope you can help.

Hi Reesoz

4330/1878  Charles L Slack married Isabella F A Stewart, in the district of ORANGE

3931/1873  William Henry Stanley married Mary Ann Jackson, in the district of HILL END

Please note that the brides surname is Jackson.  It is the only one C1873. She may have married as a widow, or your Mary Ann may not have married in NSW.

You may like to have this moved to the Australia board.

Hill End is a small town, not far from Mudgee.

The last child was born in 1897, so she was alive then.  ???

Thank you very much. Happy to have it on the Oz site but don't know how to correct it. Eyesight is my problem.

I don't know how you move it, either, but I'm sure someone will pop up who does know.

Would you know who Mary Anne's parents were, so as to narrow down her death?

Assume you found Isabella/Isabell as another family member believed her father was John Stewart b Scotland 1820's. I really appreciate your help and will check back her line when my sight improves.
The Jackson first marriage for Mary Ann Wilkinson sounds right but I have no further details on her at this stage.
