Anderson 2nd Marriage

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Lynette Report 25 Aug 2008 05:03

I am trying to find details of Mary (Teasdale) Ranson's second marriage to William Anderson.
Mary was born c1837 Lamesley, Durham, she had two sons to her first husband, Robert Ranson, namely Andrew & John.
Robert died in 1867.
Mary and her second husband and the two boys came to Australia in 1880. I have a passenger listing that shows Mary, William, Andrew & John Anderson arriving 9/6/1880 "Camperdown" and their ages indicate that they are the right family.
Mary would have married William Anderson sometime between 1867 -1880 in England.
I cannot find a death registration in NSW for Mary or her husband; there are several Mary Anderson death registrations on the NSWBDM and as I don't have any information on William Anderson I cannot find a death registration for him. I have bought a few death certificates in the hope of finding the right Mary but no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Lewella
I did know that Mary's parents were William Teasdale & Mary Vass and that Mary Vass was previously married To William Stott.
Thanks for the information from the 1871 Census which I didn't have.
The two death certificates that you mentioned I have copies and they are not my Mary.
So I now know that Mary married William Anderson after 1871.
Thanks so much for taking the time to investigate for me.
Kind Regards
Lyne

Hi Tracey
I do have details of Mary's first marriage but thanks anyway.
The marriage registration for Mary Ranson looks correct as Mary would have used her previous married name and the year 1872 seems feasable as the 1871 Cenus shows Mary as a widow.
Do you know how I obtain a copy of the marriage registration?
Thanks so much for your help.
Kind Regards
Lyne
