Research Notes

It is noted that someone has recently created a Find a Grave memorial for Hannah which indicates that she emigrated to and died in New South Wales in 1826 and was buried with her sons Edward and Richard at Wilberforce. Refer Find A Grave: Memorial #220820435.

In the absence of any primary sources supporting the Find a Grave information, WikiTree members are cautioned against adopting those details for the following reasons;

1. The copy of son Edward’s diary in Windsor Library makes no reference to his mother’s presence in the Colony or to her death and burial here in 1826. This despite references to other members of his family and household in the same era.
2. The book by Cathy McHardy and Nicholas McHardy, ‘ Sacred to the memory: A study of Wilberforce Cemetery’, December 2003, makes no reference to any such burial or memorial in Wilberforce Cemetery
3. Personal inspection of the graves at Wilberforce and funeral and burial records held at the adjacent St John’s Anglican Church also reveals no evidence of any such death or burial there in that era.
