I am trying to find information about my 3x gt. grandmother and her parents ,her name was Mary MOORE bn. abt. 1828/30 Heywood Lancashire , d. 26 April 1876 Auckland New Zealand [parents Thomas MOORE occ Publican ,mother Martha ASHTON information from her N.Z. death certificate.]
Was she married before her arrival in Australia as she was not married to my 3x gt grandfather Charles WOODWARD alias Charles WOODWARD WILLIAMS who she would have meet in either Melbourne or Sydney sometime after Sept. 1852.
On the Australian birth certificates I have it states she was married
[1] 1849 Manchester Lancashire
[2] 4 May 1849 Rochdale
[3] 1848 Lancashire
I would be very grateful for any help with this family mystery.

Hi Ciderdrinker
Thank you for the information I don't have any dates on when Mary arrived in Australia , I no she had family in Rochdale as after her death in 1876 a daughter Mary Ann WOODWARD moved to live with her Aunt .I also have a photo of a Hannah and her husband Henry photo taken in Rochdale
Also Mary may had a son born 1851 cannot find a birth record for him .It states on his NZ marriage certificate he was born in 1851 Windsor Sydney [once again no record]I purchased a birth record for a Samuel MOORE bn 1835 father John MOORE mother Martha RICHARDSON
