Post by: popmum on Monday 27 April 20 05:21 BST (UK)
Jane is the sister of my  great grandfather Edmond. (Edmond Costello/Kate Fahey) She was married to Hubert Ferguson, they divorced. What happened to Jane? Where is she buried? I have found the other NZ immigrants of the large Irish family ..but not Jane. Can you help?

This indicates she may have gone to Australia with Mr Prendiville

IF she died in New Zealand, there is this possibility.....

1887/1891   Ferguson   Jane   38Y

Does anyone know where this death was registered?

Hi popmum. Jane was my 3rd great grandmother. I descend from her son Charles Costello Ferguson. We have just recently found that Jane went to Australia after the divorce and married John Prendeville in 1883 in Sydney. We ordered her death cert and the parents names match up although the informant does note the marriage to Hubert but they did not note all the kids she had with him. Im wondering if her 2nd lot of kids were aware of the 1st lot. She passed in Auburn NSW on 22 Feb 1921. She did end up getting into trouble over there as well. The child she abandonded in NZ (daughter jane) was Prendervilles and in Australia they had 3 more. Mary born in 1884. Bridget born and died in 1889 and Edward born in 1891.
