Hi Nicki, I noticed Samuel W Alabaster died age 61 in Sydney. (Reg.258/1869) You could ask 'Joy Murrin's Transcription Service' (on-line) to search the certificate -which would be much cheaper than buying it. (NSW BMD is on-line though couldn't see any marriage for Samuel.. Jane.... or Martha. The 'National Library of Australia' (also the 'NSW State Library') has an 'Ask a Librarian' service -they will check their records for you. I 'googled' 'Samuel Alabaster'...and noticed an 'Alabaster Society' showing your Samuel. Maybe some new clues there? .....Valerie |

Hi Nicki -just an 'educated guess' - maybe a helping relative (?) could just 'take' one - and maybe another lady 'nanny'(?!) went with the other 3 to Aus. .. .The State Library may have (all) their names upon arrival. ......... Valerie. |

Hi Nicki - just found this on NSW BMD: Jane Alabaster married John Oliver 1843. .... John & Jane A Oliver had 2 sons John (b1852/d1889 (age 38yrs at Redfern) and Louis C (1857). ....Confusing about this Jane marrying in1843 .. ...was she an 'aunt' I wonder and 'young Jane' given her name? Did Samuel want his sister(?) to help/have the chn? .....Valerie |

Hi Nicki - don't forget 'JOY MURRIN's Transcription Service (on-line) -she will 'search' the marriage cert for you -for a fee less than buying it. (give her the Reg.No.) .....Valerie |

Your best bet would be to get Samuel's death cert, which should have his parents', wives and children's names (if they were known to the informant) so you can identify him positively. |

Transcriptions contain exactly the same information as a certificate. |
