Yes Ann who died (By drowning) July 1820 is Capt John Jnr's wife. John Snr died in Hobart 1825.

Umm,

One at PJ in Sept 1820, - in the newspapers (which are off line) but see my post number 86 or there abouts... and theres the one that David notes with a death certificate reference for July 1820.

You cannot be the subject of a death certificate issued in July 1820 for a burial on 19 July 1820, and yet get drowned in September 1820.... Can you

Think it is the same one JM  -  some one got their dates confused I reckon.    In this thread anything is possible - like we are going to run out of room again if this pace keeps up!!

OH  - sorry Port Jackson - didn't see that one - beg your pardon JM - do tell more.  William's wife died in 1810/11 so not her!  But there was a letter written about another - but it was about Ann in PD.  There was some confusion in camp and there was a letter sorting it out - it is here on the thread somewhere.

Nope, the article had her age, and the children's details too....  I'm sure it was September 1820, and the younger child was a boy aged 3.... older child a girl, perhaps named Mary Ellen, aged 11.

The papers will be back online tomorrow evening...

Well  all

Just to confuse you the Tassie site has Phillip William Cummings  b 1818 as the son of John Cummings and Elizabeth, not stated! a baptismal record. Also has John and Elizabeth as not in a relationship until 1832 an archives record.

Very confusing surely phillip could not be the son of John Cummings senior and his wife? but brought upby his older brother and his wife?

Interesting is that they have they children of John and Ann Boynton all b orn 1810

Here's my copy paste for that September 1820 drowning...

I think this cutting would be of interest, its about Mrs Cummings and her children, at PD in Sept 1820, her daughter aged 11 and her son aged 3, saved, but not Mrs Cummings..

So that lady was at Port D, not at PJ, so a Mrs Cummings drowned in September 1820 at PD and thus has to be a different Mrs Cummings from the one on Cathy's line.

Hi,

I think they are the same person. Phillip would have been the 3 year old boy and Mary Ann Ellinor (Ellen) was 11. They were both with Ann in the cart when it toppled into the South Esk river.

And the letter referring to it - post 109 was written several years later - hence the dates mix up!   I think!
