Frederick Henry McDONNELL [14345]

  General Notes:

On the 1871 marriage certificate, Frederick is listed as widowed in 1858, he was aged 44 and Elizabeth Jones was listed as spinster aged 40. Elizabeths occupation is given as servant. Elizabeth's parents are listed as John Jones, carpenter and Mary Owells, the H being left off on the certificate. Frederick's occupation is given as policeman. They were married at St Patricks Cathedral in Melbourne and witnesses to the marriage were possibly J S Vanderslade and Michael Foley.

It would appear that the children listed on Elizabeth's death certificate were her biological children, but although born before their marriage, all registered births and death have these 4 children with Frederick and Elizabeth as their parents and McDonell or McDonnell as their surname. Though registration of births for the first 3 children have not yet been found.
