	Trying to determine if the same Jane Parker married all 3 men. This shows name of bride as Jane Anderson. Australia Marriage Index, 1788-1950 about Louis Abel Name: Louis Abel Spouse Name: Jane Anderson Marriage Date: 1874 Marriage Place: New South Wales Registration Place: Sydney, New South Wales Registration Year: 1874 Registration number: 725 Then there is this: 1882. Louis Abel is charged with GBH on his wife but she is not named in the article .http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13504374?searchTerm=%22louis%20abel%22&searchLimits= They married in 1874 and were still married at 1882. Therefore all 3 children of Louis Abel should stem from this marriage

Member Since: May 2004 Posts: 4,065 Send Message	It seems most likely Jane arrived as a servant of the Hon Capt Wm Langdon & his wife, who arrived on Percy in 1859 with 4 children and 4 servants! No other passengers appear listed with servants. The Hobart Town Daily Mercury, Monday 5 December 1859 The clipper ship Percy, commanded by Capt. Wrankmore,arrived from London,via Plymouth, about 12 o'clock last evening having accomplished a splendid run out of 87 days. Light weather was experienced throughout the passage. As usual Capt. Wrankmore brings a full cabin of passengers, amongst whom are the Hon. Capt. Langdon, the lately re-elected member for the Derwent, lady and family... It appears he died in 1879 at Sandy Bay, aged 89. He was born in Somserset in 1790. There is a very extensive obituary of him published in The Mercury on 26 May 1879 if it holds any interest (NLA Trove).

Member Since: May 2007 Posts: 47 Send Message	Hi! Not sure how accurate our death certs are - as you say,English and Welsh ones are only as accurate as what the informant knew! The details seem pretty accurate on Jane's cert. It's only her age that seems to have changed from time to time. She was married x 3 - maiden name Parker, then Anderson, Abel and finally Thompson. She has been a very elusive ancestor but am pretty sure the info I have now is pretty accurate as I have certificates confirming different pieces of information such as marriages, deaths, children, etc. Jan.

	Jan how accurate are Australian death certificates?? I know that English and Welsh ones are only as accurate as the informant knew ....... which means, as accurate as the deceased let them know! That means that information such as birth dates, marital status, even the person's name may not be accurate! sylvia

Member Since: May 2007 Posts: 47 Send Message	Hi...sorry for delay in replying but was away from a computer. Thankyou for your replies. I found information on the Benevolent Asylum Sydney's website that Jane Anderson (nee Parker) arrived in Australia in 1859 on the "Percy". Jane "married" Charles Anderson in Tasmania in 1860 and I followed a trail which led me to the shipping information for the "Percy" which arrived in Hobart 4-12-1859. She seems to have left there in 1863 to go to New South Wales, Australia. Her birth details change often on certificates but on her death certificate it says she was 83 when she died in 1924 so would seem to have been born in 1841. Her birthplace was Cambridge, England and her parents were William Parker and Jane Sharp. William's occupation is noted on the d.cert as "farmer". Thankyou for any help anyone can give me! Jan

	More information, such as birth date and place, would help to find her on records

Member Since: May 2007 Posts: 47 Send Message	Could anyone please help with the following? Have been able to trace my g-g-grandmother, Jane Parker's, departure from Plymouth, England on the 8th September, 1859 on board the ship "Percy". The ship arrived in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia on the 4th December, 1859. Jane was a domestic servant and unfortunately the domestic servants who were on the Percy aren't named on the shipping document in Hobart, although other passengers were named. Is there any way I can find her name on shipping documents out of England or are there other resources I should be checking? Have looked everywhere for ages but can't find anything. Can anybody help please? I'd be very grateful. Thankyou, Jan.
