The certificate states the "Declaration duly made and published as by law required  and with the written consent of"  signed by Annie Salisbury, mother of Sarah Brown.    The signature of Annie is a different writing to that of the rest of the certificate and the other witnesses.  The certificate is signed by David Buckley Bridgood, Minister of the Weselyn Church Wangaratta.

Thanks everyone for the information.   
Henry Browns parents were Henry Brown and Mary Lawrence Davis.

The daughter that was married in 1888 was Sarah McLaughlin Brown and she was married 17/5/1888 in Wangaratta and her mother has signed the certificate as Annie Salisbury.  Henry Brown is listed as a Carpenter but it does not say he was deceased.  The witnesses were William James Chandler and Alice Chandler.      The minister from the Wesleyan Church was David Birdgood.

Anne Boyds parents were Hugh Boyd and Ann Cameron.      Her siblings were Peter Boyd 1833, John Cameron Boyd 1837-1902, Sarah McLaughlin Boyd 1842-1916, Alexander Boyd 1845,
 Hugh Boyd 1846 and Malcolm Boyd 1848.

Hope this sheds more light on the family

I am trying to find the marriage and death of Ann Boyd/Brown/Salisbury.

She was born in Scotland 1840 and came to Australia in 1861 on the Atlanta with her sister Sarah.
She married Henry Brown 1861 in Ballarat.   They had 5 children, the last four all born in the Wangaratta area as Henry worked on the Railways.

Henry was born in Canada approx 1822 with Scottish parents, and arrived in Australia 1852/53 on board the Sydney.
Henry retired from the railways approx 1884 due to ill health.  No death registration can be found for him.    Ann signed her daughter's marriage certificate as Salisbury in 1888.

Salisbury Falls in Wangaratta is named after William but no details for him can be found either.

Hope someone can help with some details as I am going around in circles.

Regards  Joan

Thanks Linda,

What is the best site to find newspaper reports, and are they free or pay per view?

Thanks Nanny Jan,

Death certificate names her father as the informant.  He was a Police Inspector at Witham.

Essex / Inquest hearing 1864
« on: Monday 27 August 12 08:40 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,

 I am trying to find if there was an inquest held for Alice May born 1847 Woodham Ferris and
died 24/4/ 1864 Witham.

Death certicicate states death by being burnt.   She may have been a schoolmistress, place of death looks like Southbourne.

If anyone can help or make suggestions,  I would be grateful.

Regards
Joan
