Jan asked the question were some of the early deaths not listed.

For my Patrick Noonan and Mary Bohen/Bowen the answer is yes.

I only found Patricks pre 1856 death because he has a wonderful headstone
in Raymond Terrace Pioneer Cemetery. I believe he may have died at his home in the Millers Forest area, but as he didn't own land I can only assume this.

Mary Bohen/Bowen, wonderful headstone at the Raymond Terrace Pioneer Cemetery. Because of this headstone she died on 8 September 1850, we was able to find a will. Quite unusal for a 'irish female' married to a convict in the male dominated English society of the 1850's.

Always check out the local cemeteries, they may just provide the details you seek.
