Find Ancestors

Thanks for all your help. I am still seeking birth details for Thomas Henderson and Martha Thornton and their parents. I am also interested in the arrival in Australia of both parents and Thomas and Martha if they were born overseas.

Any help is appreciated.
Regards David Henderson

One of my previous posts with likely birth for Martha in UK:

Births Mar 1843 (>99%)
Thornton Martha Kensington 3 255


IGI has this for her parents:

THOMAS THORNTON Pedigree
Male Family

Marriages:
Spouse: MARIA ANN GREENWAY Family
Marriage: 31 MAR 1835 Saint Paul Covent Garden, Westminster, London, England


Their NSW deaths:

The Sydney Morning Herald, Tuesday 12 November 1872
On the 11th instant, at his residence, John-street, Woollahra, Mr. THOMAS THORNTON, sen., in his 63rd year.

His death was registered in Paddington district, son of Thomas (reg 2338).

The Sydney Morning Herald, Monday 29 May 1893
THORNTON.--Mar 28, at the residence of her daughter Mrs. Perrier, Abbotsford, Parramatta, Maria, widow of the late Thomas Thornton of Woollahra, aged 80 years.

As previously posted - Martha's death

9454/1915 HENDERSON MARTHA / THOMAS / RANDWICK

She was interred at Waverley Cemetery. This is not online unfortunately but if you contact the cemetery, it may reveal Thomas' death date, assuming they are interred together.

You may need to order their marriage certificate; or one of their death certs, to find out more. The death certs will state how long they had lived in any state of Australia, which may help identify their arrival.

NB The death notices I posted are for the Thornton children (ie sblings of Martha), not the Henderson children :-)
