    I am trying to find the names of Catherine Sheppards parents or at least one parent, unfortunately she left England for Australia before the 1841 census, Catherine was born 6 august 1821 at Portsea, Portsmouth, hampshire england. Catherine is my 4x grt grandmother.

    Hi grandmabear

    Do you know which colony she went to ? Each colony kept, and still keeps its own records. NSW and Queensland, and TAS, have their BMD indexes on line for free. You have to pay to look at Victoria's online, but the microfiche is free.

    Did she marry after she got to Aus ? Did she come of her own free will (or was she a convict ?)

      I dont have a lot on Catherine, she applied to go to Australia requesting a free passage when she was about 17 to south australia, She married in adelaid about 2 years after she arrived to George Bregmen by a special licence. according to family knowledge but I have no proof of this. They had a son James then went to new zealand to settle and she died about 1901.I believe she may have worked as a servant while still in portsmouth England

        There is a submitted entry on the IGI - names her father as John.

        What does her marriage cert say?Married too early for a marriage cert I guess

              Unless you have an occupation for the father, this may prove impossible.

              Family Search has extracted records for St Marys Portsea and St Thomas Portsmouth - the main churches for the period. There are several John Sheppards, all married to different women! But no Catherine at all, even as a second christian name.
