GEARY NSW

[Ruskie]

Thanks very much JM for the clarification and further information.

Doing a bit of digging, I found that the licence for the Wheatsheaf Inn was transferred to Edward Garry [sic] (presumably meant to be Geary  ) on 4th Sept 1855. Edward died 13 Nov 1855. 

Now I am curious to discover what he did prior to becoming a licensee of the Wheatsheaf ...

Ummm.... perhaps stretching the dots a tad too far but

Edward HEALY, Wheat Sheaf Inn, George Street, Sydney 24 June 1842....  Could Healy be a mis-heard  or mis-transcribed Geary?

Cheers,  JM (NSW SR's indexes are sortable by clicking on any heading, similar process to NSW BDM headings)

There's a submitted tree at Ancestry, has Edward GEARY male born 1815,  married Agnes RADFORD Sydney 1848, death 1855 Australia cites Victoria BDM V1884874-78/1848 for the Sydney marriage.... (JM notes this is errr ..... odd, as Vic not hived off NSW until 1851 !)

However, for Agnes they have

Agnes GEAREY takes on the Wheatsheaf Inn publican's licence 15 April 1856   ..... I think that confirms the death of Edward in 1855 as her husband  despite the spelling of her surname
