Alli,

I am not sure if this is her parents, her Australian death registration has Charles and Sarah, it certainly looks promising.  The ages fit - thank you so much for looking - it is appreciated.

Thank you
Anja

Alli,

This certainly is my Sarah Ann - I found a birth date - 5th March 1845 and baptism 2nd July 1848 Tredegar Wales.  Question is why would they baptise her in Wales - seems a bit odd.

Again - thank you for spending your valuable time looking.

Alli,

What I think has happened is when Eliza b:1848 was born in Wales they baptised all the older children at the same time as Eliza.

For that era, it makes you wonder why they would travel all the way from England to Wales for a few years and then travel all the way back again.  It certainly would have been one heck of a journey to take with such small children.

I know looking at Australian travel back then it was a huge thing to travel between townships and states (counties) by either foot or bullock and dray.  Even now I travel 4hrs to see my parents in the country by car, back then it would have taken many weeks if not months because of the mountains that needed to be crossed, not to mention a ocean inlet.

Regards
Anja

That certainly fits then because wife Sarah is supposed to have died in 1843 age abt 43 yrs.

I don't know how your finding this stuff but I am grateful for your assistance.
