If this were my family I would now send for that birth certificate to see if it reveals any secrets.

Birth was registered qrt ending Dec 1841

Maybe she did not like her name 

['Tricia]

Maybe illegitimate and given to another family?  Hopeless if that happened.

Hi

Pels found an 1861 for Matthew Stonehouse but where are they in 1851???

[carol80]

Her father was born 1800 and her mother was born 1802. Her brother Christopher was born 1826, Thomas was born  1828 and Anne born 1830 then came Arabella 1841. Maybe she went to a younger family member although her Mother lived to be 90.

She is not with her Stonehouse Granparents in 51.

Arabella Dora Stonehouse is my Great Great Grandmother. I believe she came to Australia when she was 15. She died in 1931 and is buried in Rookwood cemetery, Sydney NSW. She married William Archer in 1874.

Hi,

I have looked up the birth registration for Arabella Dora STONEHOUSE on the GRO Online Index. The GRO ref. is as follows:
Arabella Dora Stonehouse, 1841, Dec Qtr., Registration District, Whitby Union, Volume 24, Page 497. Mother's Maiden Surname, JOHNSTON. My suggestion would be to apply for the birth certificate. I have had no luck with searches for death registration 1841-1861.

The GRO Online Index is a good place to search for free as it also gives the mother's maiden surname for registered births between 1837 and 1918. You can also search death registrations between 1837 and 1957.

Hi Carol,

I've been doing a little bit more digging and thanks to a previous post by Jennifer Porter I have cast my search a bit further afield.

A google search for Arabella Dora STONEHOUSE turned up a marriage in 'The Empire' newspaper' in Sydney, dated Saturday, October 24, 1874. Transcript as follows:
"Woollahra.
On September 26, at Trinity Church, Glen Innes, by the Rev. G. M. Johnson, H.A.,
William, son of William Henry Archer of Brooklyn, New York, U.S.,
to Arabella Dora, daughter of Matthew Charles and Elizabeth Stonehouse, of
Lithe, near Whitby, Yorkshire, England."

The newspaper can be found on the TROVE website - the Australian equivalent of the BNA.
I hope this helps in your search.

Find a grave also have mention of her burial in Rookwood Cemetery.

Kind regards

Joan
