Wondering if anyone has confirmed Sarah Doley's arrival in Australia. I have found a possible arrival on the 27th of June 1881 on the "Cuzco". http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/197756799?searchTerm=%22doley%22&searchLimits=l-state=South+Australia|||sortby=dateAsc|||l-decade=188|||l-year=1881|||l-month=6
I am also wondering what people's thoughts are on the marriage for George and Sarah Doley. I have seen some consider Sarah to be Sarah Meir. A marriage can be found in 1842 for a George Dooley and Sarah Meir in the registration district of Congleton in Chesire. However, this couple are found in the 1871 census in Tunstall, Staffordshire. They are residing with Sarah's parents, Thomas and Hannah Meir. The occupation for George is not a match, and Sarah's place of birth also differs. I have also ruled out the Sarah Bolton/George Doley marriage.
I am currently considering a possible marriage in 1839 in West Bromwich. Free BMD has George Doley and Sarah Collins listed on the same page (Vol 18 Page 704). However I have not yet found more information on this. There are a few Sarah Collins born in Birmingham in the right time period for this.
