Boyd Family

[jaild]

I am trying to find the marriage and death of Ann Boyd/Brown/Salisbury.

She was born in Scotland 1840 and came to Australia in 1861 on the Atlanta with her sister Sarah.
She married Henry Brown 1861 in Ballarat.   They had 5 children, the last four all born in the Wangaratta area as Henry worked on the Railways.

Henry was born in Canada approx 1822 with Scottish parents, and arrived in Australia 1852/53 on board the Sydney.
Henry retired from the railways approx 1884 due to ill health.  No death registration can be found for him.    Ann signed her daughter's marriage certificate as Salisbury in 1888.

Salisbury Falls in Wangaratta is named after William but no details for him can be found either.

Hope someone can help with some details as I am going around in circles.

Regards  Joan

Possibly another marriage

 

SALESBURY Annie  (born  GLASGOW)
GRANT Jno Thompson
Year 1901
Reg.   1392

Regarding the daughter's marriage certificate-

What was the daughter's name?
Her usual residence?
Her age?
Is her father's status noted (living deceased)?

When you say Ann signed, do you see her actual signature or an X and the name written in the clergy's hand?
Who was the other witness?
Was the marriage at Wangaratta?

Could we have Henry BROWN's parents' names please.

What are her parents' names please?

There are a couple of deaths which may be for the Annie GRANT whose marraige Sue found.  Parent names' would help eliminate (or otherwise).  Parents for the two men would be helpful also.

..."Henry's parents were Henry Brown (Carpenter) and Mary Lawrence Davis.
Annes parents were Hugh Boyd (Forester) and Annie Cameron."

.."He was born in Canada approx 1823 and came to Australia in 1852 on the ship "Sydney", was married to Anne Boyd in 1861 at Ballarat."

.."The age of Henry Brown at his marriage was 37 years,  Anne was 21.
Henry Brown is noted as a carpenter, on his marriage certificate, it doesn't say his parents are deceased."

..."he was alive in 1871 and died before 1888.  Anne Boyd remarried after Henrys death to William Salisbury.   She signed Sarah's mc as Annie Salisbury in 1888."

Thanks CoL for linking the other threads.

Joan, you mentioned that Ann/Annie came from Scotland with her sister Sarah.

Seems there was a brother in Victoria as well

Victoria 1902, #7529
Jno Cameron BOYD, 64
Death Place:   Talbot, Victoria
Father's Name:   Boyd Hugh
Mother's name:   Ann Cameron
Estimated Birth Year:   abt 1838

PROV has a digitised will for this man, leaving all to his wife Elizabeth (so long as she remains unmarried).  A son, Angus is also mentioned. John Cameron BOYD died 19 April, 1902 and was a retired public servant, according to the probate documents.

Thanks everyone for the information.   
Henry Browns parents were Henry Brown and Mary Lawrence Davis.

The daughter that was married in 1888 was Sarah McLaughlin Brown and she was married 17/5/1888 in Wangaratta and her mother has signed the certificate as Annie Salisbury.  Henry Brown is listed as a Carpenter but it does not say he was deceased.  The witnesses were William James Chandler and Alice Chandler.      The minister from the Wesleyan Church was David Birdgood.

Anne Boyds parents were Hugh Boyd and Ann Cameron.      Her siblings were Peter Boyd 1833, John Cameron Boyd 1837-1902, Sarah McLaughlin Boyd 1842-1916, Alexander Boyd 1845,
 Hugh Boyd 1846 and Malcolm Boyd 1848.

Hope this sheds more light on the family

You may find it worthwhile to contact the Wangaratta Family History Society.

http://www.wfhs.org.au/

They have a list of Wangaratta surnames which includes BOYD, SALISBURY and BROWN.  No details as to whether they are related to your family.

How do you actually know it is her mother's signature on the marriage certificate ?
