The oldest son, John died in a mining accident in QLD in 1887.

You would need to acquire certificates to confirm this is your family.

Following on from Neale1961. IF this is your family there is a newspaper article on the death of John in Charters Towers.

There most likely would not be a headstone for John and over the years the steel markers with grave numbers on them are rare to find. Actually the cemetery is in pretty poor condition which is a shame as the people buried there were the back bone to the town. I live in Charters Towers and if this is your family i am more than happy to go have a look for you.

Burial register ... no headstone but does give a plot number

There are a few articles in the British newspapers on her death. I can only get an index up but one of the articles appears to have a bit more info maybe. The below is all i get.

Might be a long shot but have you looked at names? Such as some single mother's had father's name included in their childs name. Have any of the Cameron family the same christian name as your grandfather?

You could try the marriage certificate for her second marriage and see what she noted as her status, such as divorced etc.

I'm not finding anything else that is of use. I'm assuming Elizabeth Crick died on the boat or on one of the islands?? Definitely no death notices that i can find.

Her mother's death certificate might state if she was deceased and or Joseph's second marriage cert. might state widower. Either one might give up something.

AND finally got something  ;) Tho not sure how to check if she infact died there or on the ship or she may not have died.
They married September so dates would fit.

I was hoping there might have been an obit for Joseph that would state his first marriage but nothing. Just articles on his death and his death is registered in NSW, there is a will / probate online in VIC archives. I had a quick read on the off chance it might have mentioned kids who may have been born from his first marriage but again nothing. I know it's not him we are looking for but most well post it as it could come in handy for someone else one day maybe.
