Research Notes

NSW BDM Spells George's surname as " Barguanna" George's Tombstone gives his birth date 23 April 1841 and death as 16 April 1889. Elizabeth remarried but was buried with her first husband, perhaps the date of death on the tombstone was an error. George's nephew also died in 1898 and this is documented with New South Wales Births, Deaths and Marriages.
