Can anyone check SA records for me? I know there are some on Ancestry, but I haven't found what I'm looking for yet.
I'm trying to find out what happened to Asenath Chandler, who emigrated to NSW from Beckenham, Kent, with her parents and siblings in 1857. Most of the Chandler family lived in the Armidale/Walcha area, some in Sydney, and others moved on to Brisbane. Asenath's parents, and one married sister, eventually returned to England.
She isn't the Asenath Amelia Chandler who married Thomas Duddy in NSW; that was her niece.
Her sister Alice married a Frenchman called Gustave Antoine Collin, and I've now found a death in Parramatta, NSW in 1911 for an Asenath G Collins, daughter of George J and Asenath. I wondered if George might be related to Gustave, despite the different spelling of the surname, but I can't find a marriage for George and Asenath anywhere.
On the Ancestry BMDs I've found a death for an Asenath Collins in SA in 1916-25, and a death for a Stella Asenath Collins in SA in 1968.
I've found a death notice for an Asenath Collins in Forest Range SA in 1918 in the NLA newspapers, which presumably matches the 1916-25 death on Ancestry, but the notice was inserted by her nephew Herbert J Higgins, and as far as I know, none of Asenath's sisters or numerous nieces married a Higgins.
As she's the only one of her siblings I can't find, I should like to trace her, so if anyone has the SA BMD CD, I should be grateful for a look-up.
