Andy_T ........ I emailed the address you provided and received a prompt response advising that they hold no records for the1850 period.
Seems like this may be one that remains unsolved.

Thanks for your kind assistance.

Paul

It says that they had been living in Sydney but died in Manila. There is no death ecord in Australia where we also have a town called Manila which is a farming area. I believe that Manila, Philippines had a strong iron foundry industry and George's skills would have made the move more likely

Thanks,
Paul

Hi,
    I am looking for assistance in finding death records for George Brown & Hannah Brown (née Woodward) who died in Manila, Philippines in 1850. George had been working in an iron foundry in Sydney prior to his death. At the time of his death George was 25 and Hannah was 23.

This one has really got me stumped and any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks,
Paul

Hi All ...... and thanks for your guidance. I have exhausted every avenue as well as alleyways with no success.
Perhaps someone is Ireland can help me discover where Bridget McGuggin OR McGuggan and her sister Mary Ann came from in Ireland. They arrived in Sydney on 10th August, 1832 on the vessel Red Rover. The ship sailed from Cork in Ireland so she could live somewhere close to that location.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the kind advice as it is much appreciated. After receiving advice from BDM about death records not occurring reliable before the 1850's I tried searching for the son of Bridget and Charles who died a month before Bridget. Strangely a search of every combination I could think of yielded no result but a search on Ancestry for him provided this ..
Name:    John S Brown
Death Date:    1837
Death Place:    New South Wales
Registration Year:    1837
Registration Place:    Sydney, New South Wales
Volume Number:    V18371899 21

I have tried to enter the record number every way I could think of and it does not accept it. Any ideas on exactly how the number should be input? It makes me think that if a search for this child is non productive then it may well be the same problem with Bridget.

Regards,
Paul

Thanks for everyone's assistance but this may the proverbial dead end! I received this reply back from BDM ......

We have searched the death indexes for this person and was unable to find a record of her death under her married or maiden name.
The Registry began registering the full details of all Births, Deaths and Marriages in 1856. Any records held prior to this period are from the registers of various churches.
As there was no government facility to record the details of life events before 1856, there were no guidelines in place to assist ministers or priests, and so the information recorded in church registers was generally limited, if registered at all.
So it may be that her death was never registered at the time.

This may be of benefit in your research .......

any help appreciated in solving the ongoing and extremely frustrating search for information on Bridget Brown nee McGuggin OR McGuggan.
Facts I know .....

(1) Arrived with her sister Mary on the RED ROVER on 10th August, 1832.
(2) Married Charles William Brown at Scots Church, Elizabeth Street, Sydney on 28th October, 1833.
(3) They had two children .... Charlotte Mary Ann who lived till 1918 and John who died in 1837 aged         5 months and 14 days.
(4) Bridget died on 8th June, 1837 at Elizabeth Street, Sydney after a long severe illness. I know this from a Death Notice placed in The Australian on 9th June, 1837 by her husband who was a newspaper Editor.

My health is not great and I would dearly love to solve the mystery as to exactly where in Ireland she originated, her parents names and to understand why there is no BDM Death record for her online.

Any thoughts?

Bev, thanks for the name of the book and I have heard something about it previously. It seems that not much is known of Bridget prior to her arrival and there is no BDM record for her known death in Sydney is 1837 which is strange indeed.

I wait patiently to see if any further information surfaces ....

Thanks to everyone for their effort.

Paul
