Family Friday; 2 females, deceased; Elizabeth and Rachael Vaughan.

ELIZABETH VAUGHAN AND RACHAEL  WYATT VAUGHAN.

A short Family Friday, this week,  as I discuss the only mention of these two girls.

2 females deceased, is on both Henry and Charlottes’ death certificates.

 These are those two females.

Elizabeth was born 11 August 1841, to Henry and Charlotte*. As she was born before registration, the actual document is a record of her baptism. It reads, Name, Elizabeth, Father, Henry Vaughan, Quality or Profession, Gentleman, Mother, Charlotte, Date of Baptism, 29 August 1841.

Searching the New South Wales, Birth, Deaths and Marriages’, I find two recorded deaths of an Elizabeth Vaughan. One in 1841 and the other in 1847. There are no newspaper notices of her death, for me to check. I did order the 1841* certificate and that Elizabeth was only 3 months old, when she died.  No parents are listed. I don’t know if this little one is mine or if it is the 1847 death. Either, is sad for such a short life.


Rachael Wyatt Vaughan was born on 28 July 1864*. This certificate has a lot more detail, with Henry and Charlottes’ marriage date and both their birthplaces mentioned. Sadly Rachael died 13 January 1865, aged just 51/2  months.  A rather unusual middle name. I wonder who she was named after?

I’m going to make to assumption that both are buried in the Camperdown Cemetery, like their parents, were later and that their graves, also no longer exist.

Next week I’m going to start on the children that grew-up, married and had their own children. And there are interesting questions, raised as well.


Bye for now,

Lilian

Lost in DNA Weekend Part 1. (my 600th post)

Now the title of this post might have you scratching your head and wondering, 'what is she going on about?'  But if you belong to the Society of Australian Genealogists,  https://www.sag.org.au/   you will know what I'm talking about. Twice a year the Society has 'Lost In' weekends, covering a wide range of topics, some are face-to-face and some are webinars. Both are great. This past weekend was held at the Portside Conference Centre, Sydney, on Saturday and Sunday. Some of the group, early on Saturday morning. The room was filled, both days. The topic for the weekend was DNA and whilst we aren't NCIS Agents, looking for a killer, we are still trying to find that elusive ancestor, who is just out of our reach. Or so they thought! Saturday was a warm, humid day in Sydney, just the sort of day you want, when digging for ancestors. The Society had put together a varied program, so that novices and experts were covered. Martyn Killion was our chair and sta

Transcription Agents.

-
Hi, As it is very wet both in NSW, Victoria and Queensland, genealogists just might spend their weekend doing research and ordering certificates. Below are the details of transcription agents, very useful people. Here in New South Wales (NSW), we have three transcription agents, Joy Murrin, Marilyn Rowan and Laurie Turtle. These wonderful people and save you money, when you want a certificate, to verify a birth, death or marriage. What, might you ask is a transcript? A transcript is an actual copy of a document, everything written on it. This is very helpful if you are looking for say a marriage and know they split-up. I have several transcripts of different marriages, where in the comments section is, decree absolute and a date, etc. or who gave permission, if the parties were under age. Joy Murrin , of Joy Murrin Family History Service, offers transcripts for NSW, Victoria, England and Wales, Scotland and New Zealand. http://www.joyinfamilyhistory.com/ Joy also offers parti
