I have access to a certificate of Burial for Elizabeth Whitehead who died at Goodwood and was buried on 21 April 1867 at Jones Hill cemetery.
Robert and Mary Ann were married on the 23 April, 1845 in the parish of St James, melbourne. Hope this helps.
I also noticed taht Robert and Mary Ann's marriage was witnessed by Joseph Whitehead and Elizabeth Whitehead so now i am unsure who the Elizabeth Whitehead was in burial certificate. Since the papers they are with belong to Robert Whitehead I would think daughter but I can't confirm that.
I also have baptism certificate or a certificate that is titled: For name after registration of Birth performed by the minister of St Johns, Belfast for Edward, a male childer produced by Robert Whitehead and Mary Anne Whitehead declared to have been born at Goodwood on the 12th day of August, 1857. He was baptised on 4 March, 1958
A little more information about Robert. He came by ship on the Lord William Bentinck, arrived in Sydney from London on 22 Mrch, 1839 with a servant.
Thank you for this extra information smcintosh.
I'm sure this will be a big help to others researching this family line. Every little bit helps.
