Hi Ros.

Can you find his wife?

No Jamjar only a Maria May Burt in 1916

This does indeed look right - many thanks for the confirmation.

Maria was baptised Dec 1816 in Winterborne Anderson so would have been 33 - so the age of 29 is misleading but as the list gives her native place as Anderson it must be right as Anderson is very small.  James and Marcia had both died by 1849 so that confers.

I only have William Burt's father from their marriage certificate giving his name as Elias but I did not find his birth record.  There is a daughter baptised in Puddletown/Piddletown to a James Elias and Rebecca so I suspect this is the same family.

My interest is in tracing the Furber line so haven't looked in detail at the Burt though they may also link in.

Any way of discovering if they had family in Australia?

Burt William B 1865 James E Burt Rebecca ? unmarked registration Braidwood

I can't find any births to the couple in NSW.   You can search the NSW indexes for free http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au

And I couldn't find a remarriage for Maria either

[Jamjar]

Me neither.

Is it possible that they went to Victoria? Braidwood is close to the NSW/Vic border.

I couldn't find Maria Burt on the Victorian Teachers Indexes.  On the NSW state records there is a teacher Marion Burt http://srwww.records.nsw.gov.au
