C. KINSELA and SONS. George-street, opposite Christ Church, and Oxford-street, near Crown-street.

    The Sydney Morning Herald, Friday 17 October 1879

    A related entry from the NSW BDM index...

    3281/1879 GILL ELIZA CHARLES EMMA REDFERN

    If so, her parent's are recorded as Charles and Emma - but death certificates can be unreliable. In your shoes, I would get hold of Eliza’s marriage certificate to see what it has for her father’s name.
    Thanks ..... what you found is the reason for my original post ......... have ordered the MC today.
