Australia / Re: Death - Orange NSW - William BURTON
« on: Thursday 26 April 12 06:28 BST (UK)  »
You have been talking about some of the early arrivals of my family.

Isaac JENNER (1827-1894), the son of John Jenner, was born in England in 1827. He married Philadelphia Wicks (1830 - 1914) in England circa 1852, the marriage producing eight children.  He died at Uralla, New South Wales, Australia in 1894. 
Isaac Jenner came out to Australia on the Meteor" in 1853 with his wife Philia.

Philadelphia was the daughter James (1805 in England - 1888 in NSW) and Eliza Jane MANVILLE (c.1791 - 1842 in England)

In 1854 most of the family went to Australia, Sydney on the Tantivy, some of Philadelphia's siblings stayed in Lewes.

They were Philadelphia's father , stepmother Frances PAGE (c.1805 England- 1877 in NSW) , brothers John (1836 - 1916) and Abraham (1838 - 1908), sister Eliza (1839 - 1915), step brother Israel (1850 - 1854) who died at sea and sister Phoebe (1844 - 1934).

Philadelphia's brother John is my great grandfather.

Australia Lookups completed / Re: Coroner's Inquests in Queensland
« on: Thursday 09 February 06 05:14 GMT (UK)  »
I got a transcript from the QLD Archives a couple of decades ago.  I got the location and dates from the death certificate (though I've found later that this is not always the case.)  It was held at Silver Spur, near Texas, QLD. 

I also checked the Courier Mail newspaper around the time and found 2 stories about the deaths.  It had been a murder suicide so the 1st story was on the day the murder happened and then on the following day.  I couldn't find the coroners findings.
