I think some of these people (and their chidlren) have become confused

Isaac Alexander Fox, Free Settler “Elphinstone” 1838

married 3 times ? 1) 1835 to Mary Eliza Fox 1814-1845 (daughter of John George Richardson 1790-1861 and Bridget Richardson 1783-1830)

2) 1835 to Mary Bridget Fox, Free Settler “Elphinstone” 1838 1815-1845 (daughter of John George Richardson 1782-1861 and Bridget Richardson 1783-1830) - she is also married to Henry Fox 1810-1878)

3) 1850 to Sarah Milbourne Fox, {Australian Immigrant} 1826-1895

Query

  • son James was born in 1833 but his parents did not marry till 1835 - his parents emigrated to Australia in 1838 without him - What is the source of his being their son?
  • daughter Mary Eliza born 1841 - her birth record indicates she is the daughter of Henry and Sarah - what is the source for her being the daughter of Isaac and Sarah?
  • Isaac married Mary Bridget and Mary Elizabeth in 1835 and had children with both at the same time. What is the source for his marriage to either women?
  • Mary Bridget has 2 husbands - Henry FOX and Isaac FOX - what is the source for these marriages?

It is unlikely that John George Richardson and Bridget Richardson had named twins Mary Bridget and Mary Elizabeth.

Mary Bridget RICHARDSON married Isaac FOX on 18/4/1835
