For Reference

Birth NSW BDM
V18512098 68/1851 LINDEN JAMES JOHN MARY

Marriage NSW BDM
Couldn't find a Mary SHANKLIN but found this

V1850420 96/1850 LINDEN JOHN MCCANN MARY LU Roman Catholic, Moreton Bay (QLD), New England District

John may have been born in NSW
V18291371 128/1829 LINDEN JOHN HENRY ANN

James' Birth Certificate would give parents names, Marriage Cert may give parents names

Alison,
I have found this one also but Mary's name is recorded as Shanklin not Mc Cann on both James' Marriage Certificate and his Death Certificate.

Hi Patricia

When, Where & who to was James Married and when, where did he die?

Please to help with searching we need to know all that you have.

Cheers

Ingrid,
Can not find a birth certificate for James. I ordered a certificate for James, Father John and Mother Mary. When it arrived it was a record of Baptism and was for James with Father John and Mother Mary McCann. James' marriage and Death Certificates both say he was born , Maitland NSW. I am stumped.
Patricia.

Hi Patricia

James married Annie Williams 13 May 1895, Clermont QLD. He died 3 September 1937, Clermont QLD. Both Certificates say Mother, Mary Shanklin.

Ingrid,
Baptism took place, 15 August 1851, Ipswich, in the County of Stanley. Parents...John Linden and Mary McCann...abode Ipswich...Profession...Labourer. This certificate says he was born 19 June 1951 and says Not Stated under Where Registered. I am not convinced that this is my James.

Alison,
Yes, that is the certificate that I sent for.

Hi Patricia,

Could Mary have been married previously?

Hi Ingrid,

Any deaths in Queensland for John Or Mary?

I wonder when James made his way to Queensland if he was born in Maitland?

Alison

Ingrid,
Yes that is the Certificate.(209868) .
Ipswich is in QLD. That is the Death Certificate that I have for James.
I have seen those Birth Certificates listed for James and Charles...Parents John Linden and Mary McCann.

Will be back soon, will keep searching deeper.
Just got a visitor

Mei75,

I don't think Mary McCann was married before as I found somewhere where she was an Irish Orphan Imigrant that came out to Australia with other girls after the Potato Famine and the information I read said she worked for about 12 months for some land owner(I think) then married a James Linden. I think I Googled Mary McCann or James Linden and found this Info.
Patricia.

Alison,
An Obituary for my James Linden in the Peak Downs Telegraph (Peak Downs was the area where Clermont is situated and the Telegraph was the paper for thelocal area) states that James was a native of Maitland, New South Wales and went to Ipswich when a child.
