RE: researching convict ancestors in Australia. William Pattison. b. 1800

[majm]

Hi,

I have some questions... re the burial record for a chap named aa William PATTISON in 1877.

   what cemetery is noted on that document,
  what day/month for the burial
  deceased's usual abode and occupation
  any other info  on that record ...  clergy named, other witnesses,
  what is full reference number  ...  I can see at least two reference numbers for that name in 1877 in that parish register.  One may be duplicate of the other, but it is actually rare for there to be a burial without a formal NSW death cert .... perhaps death is under a different spelling or death occurred outside of Sydney metro area and the civil registration had not been sorted, OR ... death occurred outside of NSW and the body was transferred to NSW for burial OR the St Phillips registry is simply a transmitted entry ... afterall it is Volume 152 ... so it may not be an entry made in the 1877, but at sometime in the 20th century.

There is an 1877 Intestate  Estate file for a William PATTISON, for the Gunyerwarialdi district of NSW ... that's hundreds of miles north west of Sydney, a rural area...

I am sure the following are all for the ONE marriage, but I am typing them up as they show the variations in spelling and mis-reads in the very details that occurred in Sydney NSW records in the penal era, and the need to search thoroughly on all the many variations.

Rev William COWPER.  1834
William PATTISON, aged 34, arrived per Glory, under a Life Sentence, On a Ticket of Leave,

I think I have posted everything that my ancient retired living relatives have found for you.  They include retired NSW State Archives Archivists, retired Clergy and retired NSW BDM senior officers.  They are all 'confined to barracks' during covid19 due to their esteemed age etc, the home is on a farm in the New England district of NSW ... so they know the localities that are mentioned in my posts.

Good morning

Many thanks for the emails with several references. I shall work my way through them in the next few days. It is looking increasingly likely that this William Pattison isn't my ancestor.

I'll post again when I've had a chance to check everything you've given.

Thank you.

Isabel
