Biography

Jane (Bugg) Relf is an Indigenous Australian.

Jane Bugg was born in 1845. She was baptised along with her siblings William, James and Elizabeth, on the same day that her father James Bugg and Worimi Aboriginal mother, Charlotte were married on 21 September 1848,[1] in the County of Macquarie, New South Wales, Australia. Their joint baptism certificate shows that Jane was born in September 1845[2]. At that time the family was living at Gloucester, New South Wales, and her father was a Shepherd.

In 1872, Jane married Evangelist Relf, with the marriage registered at Port Stephens in New South Wales, but taking place at Monkerai[3] according to her death certificate.

Jane Relf's death certificate shows that she passed away on 13 June 1885 at Ward's River[4], having been a married woman. She was 37 years old and died of 'natural causes' after 4 days. Her father's name was given as James Bugg, a Farmer, her mother Charlotte Derby, the informant being her husband Evangelist Relf of Ward's River. She was buried on 15 June 1885 at Stroud, New South Wales. She was born at Gloucester River, NSW. She was married at Monkerai, aged 22, to Evangelist Relf, and there were 4 children of that marriage: Thomas (12), Evangelist (9), Elizabeth June (5) and Louisa Ellen (3)[5]. NB It seems likely that her age at death of 37 years was based on her baptism year not on her birth year, and should have been 40 years.
