Got some info that will shed some more light. I am researching Bellingers. Alfred Bellinger m Sarah Maria Carn. They lived and worked at Lisdillon/Mayfield estates. I have been reading Sarah Mitchell's diary and an entry on 26/4/1882 records a Mrs webb having a daughter the day before. Then she dies on 6/5/1882 with a funeral the following day. The interesting connection comes when on 8/5/1882 there is an entry that says 'Mrs Webbs daughter is with her mother(Mrs Carn)'. This semms to suggest the missing daughter that died was married to a Webb and Annie was the grand daughter b. 25/4/1882 and not a foster daughter. The diary also records John Carn's illness from Apr 1882 and died 7/9/1882 between 6 & 7 a.m. The burial took place on Pykes Island( now Ram Island).On Sunday 10th there is an entry 'Rode to Pyke's Is. & read the burial service over John Carn'. Hope this fills in a few gaps. Came across this by accident while looking for Sarah Carn & Bellinger entries.

Hi Robert,

Thank you for the information on the Carn family.
I have also started reading the diary, absolutely fantastic for little bits of information here and there.
The family story was that a sister had a child very young (story is she was not married) and the familly adopted her.

Thank you again
Susan

Hi all......the John Carn who died in 1882 was actually the son of John Carn & Jane Inch Williams.....John Williams Carn. He died aged 16 years from Strumous Disease (Goitre). John Carn senior died 9 June 1906 at Lisdillon and is buried at the Mayfield Cemetery (now on private land).

Hi Pam,

Thank you very much for taking an interest. I am thrilled to have this information, and the family story put right.
My Husbands family used to go to Tasmania to help on the Carn farm.
