Title: Daniel Thomas Family
Post by: Keith847 on Monday 29 July 13 09:33 BST (UK)

Hi All
I am researching the family of Daniel Thomas b. 1831 Upton upon Severn, Worcestershire, England.

He married Elizabeth Johnson Joyes in Shoreditch, London on 11 Jly 1851.
They emigrated from UK to Australia travelling on the “Agricola” 26 Feb 1853.
Elizabeth died in Gawler, South Australia in 1859 aged 23. The didn’t have any children.

Daniel then married Fanny Gregg in Seven hill, S.A. she was born Abt 1829 in Capa Begh, County Clare, Ireland.
They had three children:

William Harris Thomas 1861-1919
      married Alice Josephine Barron in Kensington S.A. 1881

John Price Thomas 1862-1942
      married Rebecca Jane Duncan 1859-1913 in Adelaide S.A 1883

Fanny Maria Thomas 1865-?
       Married William Henry Edward Hodges 1865-1948 in South Melbourne 1887

I wonder if anyone could help me with the following questions please?

1. What happened to Daniels second wife, Fanny, after his death; I can’t find a re-marriage or even when she died.

2. Also, I cannot find Alice Josephine’s birth or death details nor  Fanny Maria’s death details


Many thanks
Keith

Hi Keith, just to say I've travelled through South Australia from
Gawler to Port Pirie, missed Seven Hill in the beautiful Clare Valley, if only I'd known.

Thanks Essie
I haven't had time to do any research as yet but your second post has certainly given me something to investigate.

Kind regards
