http://www.tasfhs.org/Volume%2020.pdf

has the following for John MUNDAY - son of George MUNDAY convict and Sarah FREE
"Born 1828, also recorded mistakenly by some as being the spouse of Eliza PHILLIPS and having a large family and dying in Tasmania. He has also been found in Victoria, marrying a Susan HEYWOOD in Victoria, no known children, and dying in 1911, again, parent's names were stated. "

has the following for Henry Edward MUNDAY - son of George MUNDAY and Sarah Free
"Their 5th child, born 1824, married Anne HOWE (farmer's daughter) at St Matthews Clarence Plains, in 1847 and had 12? children with her, a possible child with Elizabeth WIGGINS of Sorell and had at least 11? more children with his common law wife Eliza FRANKLIN nee BELLETT"

Children William 1862, Thomas Edmund 1855, John Henry 1850 are not amongst the children listed.

Eliza Franklin born 1842 is too young to have child John Henry Munday, infant born in 1850

Eliza (Phillips) Munday, Free Settler "Mellish" 1830 now has 2 husbands
* John Munday (1815-1902) son of John Munday (1790-1832) and Mary Ann Munday (1799-1827)
* John Mundy (1828-1911) son of George Mundy, Convict "Calcutta" 1802 (1778-1867)and Sarah Elizabeth Israel Free - Mundy
(1797-1871)

According to ancestry records Eliza PHILLIPS married John MUNDAY and this spelling is used for all of their children

http://www.tasfhs.org/Volume%2020.pdf
John MUNDY born 1828 son of George MUNDY and Sarah FREE is recorded mistakenly by some as being the spouse of Eliza PHILLIPS

A new daughter has been added Ellen May Franklin (Mundy)

Ellen May Franklin (Mundy)

  • Gender: Female
  • Birth: 05 January 1882
  • Turners Marsh, Tasmania, Australia
  • Death: 16 August 1965

Can anyone find any sources for her?

According to various internet trees Ellen May married

  1. 1882 Isaac Edward MANSFIELD on 13/6/1882
  2. 1906 William Thomas RYAN on 27/12/1906

Born 5 January 1882 Turners Marsh, Tasmania

Died 16 August 1965 Prahan, Victoria

Looking in Tasmania Libraries births records - I can't find any Ellen or May born in 1882 with the name Franklin or Munday or Mundy

Isaac Edward MANSFIELD (age 20) married Ellen Sarah MUNDY (age 18) on 13/6/1882 in Launceston
Ellen Sarah Mansfield is on Geni as the daughter of Henry Edward MUNDY and Ann HOWE born 12/5/1864 died 9/3/1909

Looking in Tasmania Libraries marriage records - I can't find a William RYAN marrying in 1906

I found William Thomas RYAN being born 18/7/1878 Campbell Town to Thomas RYAN and Christina NEIGHBOUR
