Trying to find Mary Shanklin who married John Linden c1850. They had a son James Linden born c1852, Maitland New South Wales, Australia. I am not sure where Mary or John hail from. Any help would be appreciated.

For Reference

Birth NSW BDM
V18512098 68/1851 LINDEN JAMES JOHN MARY

Marriage NSW BDM
Couldn't find a Mary SHANKLIN but found this

V1850420 96/1850 LINDEN JOHN MCCANN MARY LU Roman Catholic, Moreton Bay (QLD), New England District

John may have been born in NSW
V18291371 128/1829 LINDEN JOHN HENRY ANN

James' Birth Certificate would give parents names, Marriage Cert may give parents names

Alison,
I have found this one also but Mary's name is recorded as Shanklin not Mc Cann on both James' Marriage Certificate and his Death Certificate.

Ingrid,
Can not find a birth certificate for James. I ordered a certificate for James, Father John and Mother Mary. When it arrived it was a record of Baptism and was for James with Father John and Mother Mary McCann. James' marriage and Death Certificates both say he was born , Maitland NSW. I am stumped.

Hi Patricia,

Could Mary have been married previously?

Hi Ingrid,

Any deaths in Queensland for John Or Mary?

I wonder when James made his way to Queensland if he was born in Maitland?

Mei75,

I don't think Mary McCann was married before as I found somewhere where she was an Irish Orphan Imigrant that came out to Australia with other girls after the Potato Famine and the information I read said she worked for about 12 months for some land owner(I think) then married a James Linden. I think I Googled Mary McCann or James Linden and found this Info.

Alison,
An Obituary for my James Linden in the Peak Downs Telegraph (Peak Downs was the area where Clermont is situated and the Telegraph was the paper for thelocal area) states that James was a native of Maitland, New South Wales and went to Ipswich when a child.
