Kate how wonderful to have a link with Trish's family. 

Cheers

Sadly' not the same family. Kate's Boyds are from Ireland & mine from Scotland - they were probably the same family a few hundred years earlier    - I keep hoping to find my 4th cousins on RC one day

Meanwhile, these are the churches listed

William M White 1835 V1835464 23A Sydney, St James C of E
Maria L White 1837 V1837465 23A Sydney, St James C of E
Robert E White 1839 V1839 467 23A Sydney, St James C of E
John C White 1842 V1842 1922 26A Althorpe;Brougham; Invermein; Rowan C of E

Sorry there is no sign of Susie. It may be possible to find which C of E church would be closest to Newtown & see what happened to the records.

Thanks so much Trish, this information is just fantastic.  Poor Susie, missing in action, I'll look into parishes in Sydney near Newtown.

Hello  there

I have a question please, where did the parents marry? I am wondering if it is possible she was born overseas?

Hi Jenn

The siblings were born before Susie, so probably unlikely. I think it's more probable that the parish records for Susie didn't survive as the family seemed to move around.

Hello  there
Trisha  I just wondered as there was no birth perhaps as we have sometimes seen she lied about her age seeing as how her siblings births are showing up and they are earlier that hers supposed birth year (am I making sense)

Also  of Note  in Victoria  John Coppock White born Sydney married Agnes Little born Victoria   in 1867 reg no 728  -just in case Kate doesn't have this

Always    -  guess she could have lied if she was older than her husband, but I would think it more likely that the baptism is lost - thus said, finding the immigration of the parents (if they were immigrants) would resolve the possibility.

(and my Boyd gg grandmother did put her age down quite a number of years when she married!)

Hi Jenn

Thanks, I don't know if she lied, always a possiblility - her parents immigrated in 1833/34 from Manchester, Lanc.  but I have 2 children there and the rest here and she supposedly is the last child.  Her parents died when she was still young, so she would have had to live with either a sibling or the like.  It is possible of course that because her parents were not around she did not know her exact date of birth   It seems she travelled to Victoria with John Coppock where she met John Little (Agnes Little's older brother). 

Just a not on the immigration, I am trying to find the ship they supposedly immigrated aboard on the following forum:

And regarding her parents, on the following forum:

Yes, I've been a very busy girl, but this family has me stumped.  I have both death certificates for Susie's parents but both died before 1855 so being early church records do not really give any information that can help me.

There is the marriage of a Maria Louisa WHITE to a James Meadow WHITE, and births of children with parents James M WHITE & Maria L - all in Cassilis which is the next town from Merriwa.

Thanks JAP

That's sounds like the connection I was looking for, thank you.   .  What a shame we don't have census records to trace on like the UK.
