Kilkenny / Re: Joseph Cox b 1804
« on: Thursday 23 July 20 10:06 BST (UK) »
Joseph and Ann COX arrived in Sydney Cove on the ship "Lady MacNaughten", the fever ship. Off the New South Wales coast heading north to Sydney it was flying the Yellow Flag signifying typhus on board. And and the youngest child William were buried at sea and the youngest surviving daughter Catherine made it to the Quarantine station but dies there and is buried in Cemetery #3 on that site.
After the rest of the family were cleared to come to the settlement of Sydney and were placed into the care of the then NSW Governor and were quartered in the stables of Government House in Bridge Street which is now the Museum of Sydney. From there they parted within the boundaries of the colony as it then stood and ended up at Gobarralong. I am from the line of John COX and Mary ROOHAN.
I am trying to find out when my Grandfather Joseph William COX who married Florence Jane MILNE. I am told he was born around 1865 but cannot find a birth certificate. I have his marriage certificate and death certificate.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks, Brian
