Title: Birth of Mary Ann McKay c 1812 Maldon, fa George McKay mother Elizabeth --------
Post by: cumrew on Monday 07 April 14 13:39 BST (UK)
Dear Helper,
Please could you find this baptism for Mary Ann McKay which might have been in an independent chapel? I Maldon. father George Mc Kay and mother Elizabeth ......

This lady came to  Australia and was Married in Hobart c 1830 -40 to a James Smith born Paramatta, NSW  who had a relative William Smith in Victoria who paid for the burial plot of Mary Ann Smith. At the time of her death she was the owner of a Licenced Victualler in Keilor Victoria, and many of their connections also owned pubs.

I believe ? Mary Ann McKay was a relative of my gt gt grandfather William Richmond b 1828 Maldon Essex Master Mariner  whose father was Henry Harridance of Maldon Essex b 1794 corn merchant,  Alderman etc etc . As they died young in a cholera epidemic and are buried in the one plot.

Any help would be most appreciated.
Thank you very much ..ER

hi
I,ve checked the registers for all saints and st peters and also st mary the virgin , between 1800-1820 and she isn,t in any of those also looked at the non conformist bpts I have access to and she doesn,t appear in those either .
do you know if her father was in the army ?, only in the all saints book there are numerous bpts of children whose father was in the army .
can you tell us why you think it may have been a non con bapts ?, anything else you think may help us post it up .
regards
trevor
