This woman is Catherine SPRINGETT, daughter of Robert Coleman SPRINGETT and Augusta Sophia PERRY.  She married Edwin CURTIS in 1870.  Edwin was a jeweller, but was in the third regiment volunteer infantry in Bathurst.

Another possibility though probably stretching?? There was a Catherine Elizabeth Hughes born in 1850 at Carnarvon (old name for Caernarfon in Caernarfonshire, Wales https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caernarfonshire) Arthur's death certificate said he was born in Wales and his father was Robert, a soldier?

The Catherine Elizabeth Matthews who died in 1929 would have been born circa 1851? Could there have been some legitimacy to the claim of being born in Wales? There were certainly British Regiments going through Caernarfon in the 1850's? Even stationed there?

As I say long shooting but another thought??

[TasTyger]

I'd be laying odds that Catherine Elizabeth Matthews was Arthur John's sister... I guess getting the 1878 marriage certificate would be the only way to find out and perhaps crack a solution...

[Jean003]

Yes I think I will get that certificate. It seems like a good lead.

You have several birth certificates.

Can you please list all the information on each of these documents.

Please do not use UPPER CASE when doing this.

Upper case is difficult for people on this forum to use because it presents as an eye-chart/wallpaper.

Use upper case and lower case you way you see it used, and you are using, for other text.

The death certificate, 1878, will be useful for your research.

[Jean003]

I do apologise for posting the certificates in upper case I didn’t realise that it’s a problem to read. I just used copy paste to post them.
I’m very new to using rootschat.
