Hi Dale,I have an update on Jane Egan/Guernsey. On the 25th Feb 1880 at Sandhurst assizes she was found guilty of bigamy, Denis Egan deserted her and she married Guernsey but after a while she informed Guernsey that she had been married before and that she wished to leave him as she had heard that Egan was still alive. They separated but he still visited her but quarrelled often and he broke her collarbone and fractured her shoulder blade, because of a technicality he was not charged. Jane was sentenced on 27th Feb to imprisonment but only until the court rose as it was considered she had suffered enough.

A Thomas Guernsey was charged with theft on 25 May 1887 ref, NSW Police Gazette p 158
A      ''            ''           resided in Sydney 1895 onwards
A       ''            ''           died 29 Apr 1926 at Gunneday NSW
It could be the same Thomas?

Hi Dale, Yes I have a photograph for Jane's headstone from Carol Judkin confirming she was the wife of Thomas Caldwell. She died at Kingower 1 Apr 1861 aged 39.
I believe her daughter Jane died 1868 in Victoria, father; Thomas and mother Jane but the name is Gernsey probably her married name but I cant find any reference to the marriage. The reg. no. is 9730, any information on that would be much appreciated.
John died at Hay NSW on 18 Jun 1876. He was a stock rider on the Cowl Cowl station, Hillston, Nsw his NOK was his father Thomas so I don't think he married.
Father Thomas was a farmer at Barrakee when he died.
I also have Mary Sheedy's details but you probably know them.

Hi Dale, I have not been able to trace the children John and Jane. Mother Jane was born about 1824 in Glasgow I cannot find her maiden name. There was a Jane Caldwell died in 1903 at Yarra St. Victoria and born in 1823.
                                            Regards

Thanks once more for this information. Mary must have been his second wife, his first was Jane.
