Hi Group,
I have a death for Mary Gough nee Sherwin who died at Willow Grove, Sutton Forest on 29th April 1864 eighteen days after receiving severe and extensive burns. Does any one know of a fire in this area at this time that could have caused this or any way that I could find out more information.
With Thanks Robyn in Sydney
