NSW (?) Marriage and/or Death - Jane BAIN

[Bellejazz]

Hello all,

I'm seeking info on:

Jane Bain (nee McKay)
b abt. 1792 Montrose, Scotland
m: James Bain 1816
widowed between 1832-38
arrived NSW in 1838 on the 'Portland' (aged 46), with son James (17), and daughters Elizabeth (15) & Jane (6).

Older daughters Mary & Henrietta (with husband Alexander Clugston) had arrived the year before - also on the 'Portland'.

There are many descendants of this family so quite a lot of info is available:

- Henrietta & Alex settled in Victoria and had at least 7 kids
- Mary married Samuel Hadcroft, settled in the Milton area of NSW & had at least 9 kids
- James - ? ? ?
- Elizabeth (my 3x ggrandmother) married Thomas Appleby, they settled in the Bega/Bermagui area and had about 100 12 kids
- Jane jnr appears to have died in Sydney in 1888 (aged 57) having never married (reg under maiden name)

However, I've not been able to find any further trace of their mother Jane after her arrival in NSW, so some help with tracking down this elusive woman would be most appreciated!

thanks,
B.

This Jane Bain, aged 57 in 1888 is, I think , not yours.

John and Jane BAIN lived in Sydney and after John Bain died, there were In Memoriam notices placed by his children for many years, notably by Samuel.  John died in 1874 and was a scale and weight maker.

Death
20/1874  BAIN John
Aged 63

Do you have a copy of that dc?  If not, may I suggest you seek out an official transcription.

ahh, yes Jane, you appear to be correct, that Jane is a Bain by marriage, not birth so not my Jane jnr. then.

(I wonder what did become of Jane jnr then?)

Thanks!

I think you're correct, someone on Ancestry has her as Jean aka Jane but I didn't note it as it was only one person and there was no explanation for where Jean came from.

Well that certainly explains why she didn't come up on NSW births, deaths & marriages then!
Goodness, she didn't last long after arriving in the colony did she? 

Is there some way of obtaining a certificate/printed copy of this info?

Thanks Merlin.

Yes,  Well found Merlin.

You have three choices...

Vol 102=MFilm 5040 &/or Vol 103=MFilm 5041

Order a transcription from one of the Agents OR copy a from the NSW BDM:
