Find Ancestors

Hi I'm looking for info on Henry Toy born Cornwall abt 1864 and died Glebe Australia 1924. His parents are listed as Henry and Mary Ann. I can find a baptism in Cornwall dated 1962 for a William Henry, parents Henry and Mary Ann. I have also found an unassisted passage listing for a Mrs Toy and child William arriving on the Telegraph in 1864. I have also found a NSW BDM record for a Mary A Toy died in Sydney in 1883 aged 50 no parents listed. Henry married Flora Penberthy in Sydney in 1997.

My main question is - is the baptism record the correct one? If not can someone sterr me in the right direction to find Henry's parents and his immigration records?

Thanks
Ellen

Wow - thanks for all your replies - I did make a silly typo in my original email which I should have picked up - Henry married Flora in Aust in 1887 - not 1997 as per my original post.

I did originally look at Henry Toy and Mary Jordan as the parents of Henry - the Toys of Rosemerryn House however all that lot are linked in big time to UK royalty and I thought I must have got it wrong.

So do you think Henry and Mary would be the best bet for my Henry's parents- I will have to dust off my tiara in that case.

cheers
Ellen

Well m'lady, I have no idea, but why should you not be related t royalty!!!

FYI, from NLA Trove newspaper site (why does it only mention the bride's father!)

The Sydney Morning Herald, Saturday 14 January 1888
TOY--PENBERTHY.-December 21, at St. James, Sydney, by the Rev. Latimer Jackson, M.A., Henry Toy, of Sydney, to Flora Eveline Penberthy, only daughter of John Penberthy, of Glebe Point-road, Glebe.

Just found his funeral notices (Sat 16th Feb 1924, p.15), and apart from Flora and the children (Evelyn, Elsie & Linda), there is a notice from Henry's brother Edwin TOY!

His death:
13426/1941 TOY EDWIN [father] HENRY [mother] MARY MARRICKVILLE

The Sydney Morning Herald, Tuesday 22 April 1941
TOY. —April 18, 1941, at Home of Peace, Edwin Toy, Cowper Street, Glebe. Interred Rookwood Cemetery, April 19.

Henry & Flora also lived in Cowper St, Glebe.

This is interesting - this birth comes up in a search at NSW bdm site for 1869, but the reg date comes up 2005!

181570/2005 TOY EDWIN [father] HENRY [mother] MARY

He is buried at Rookwood Anglican G465. In the same plot is Mary A TOY, buried 27/4/1883! I assume you are in NSW, if so you can phone the cemetery to see if they have additional info - 02 9746 2177.

Henry TOY is also buried at same cemetery, Anglican 7/1078, with Flora (buried 13/4/1948).
