(From the Hawkesbury Courier.)
Awful Death.— An inquest was held yesterday noon, at the Currency Lass, Bridge street, Windsor, before J. Dowe, Esq., coroner of the district, on tho bodv of Mrs. Elizabeth Cross, wife of Mr. William Cross, innkeeper, of this town. From the evidence, it appeared that on Tuesday night, at about half-past nine o'clock, the servant, on going to bed, discovered the room in which her mistress slept was in flames ; she immediately called out "master, master !" and Mr. Cross ran up stairs and rushed into the room, but from the smoke and flames, he was unable to see anything. On feeling in the bed, he found his wife was not there, but at length discovered her under the bed, dreadfully burned. Life was not quite extinct, but by the time she was carried downstairs, she had breathed her last. Deceased
had been for some time laboring under sickness, and was so debilitated as scarcely tobe able to walk; and it was conjectured that, having got out of bed, she had shifted the candle from the place in which it had been left, viz. on a double wash-stand, nearer to the bed ; and that after getting into bed again, the curtains must have caught fire, and deceased being too feeble to cry out,
had crawled, under the bed, to avoid the flames, which probably communicating to some dirty clothes underneath the bed, prevented her escape, and she was
thus burned. Mr. Surgeon Bell, her medical attendant, having certified that the
burns were sufficiently extensive to cause death, the jury certified that deceased met her death accidentally, by being burned.

Hawkesbury Courier - Thu 20 February 1845 Page 2
DEATH OF MR. WILLIAM CROSS—We regret to announce, that Mr. William Cross expired on Tuesday afternoon last, at his residence in Macquarie street, in the 47th year of his age. For several months he had been afflicted with dropsy, and during the last three weeks, the symptoms of approaching dissolution were so apparent, that his medical advisers recommended an entire cessation from business. By his decease a vacancy occurs in our District Council. Mr. Cross was a friend to the destitute,—a jovial companion, and a liberal and generous man. His funeral, we understand, will move from his residence, at two o'clock to-morrow afternoon.

Mary Ann ALCORN
* born 1816 - conceived enroute to Australia
* mother Elizabeth STALLIARD
* father Edward BAULKER
* step-fahter William CROSS

Australian Death Record - William CROSS died 1868 Penrith, father Thomas, mother Martha

William CROSS born 1821 cannot be the husband of Elizabeth STALLARD as she married in 1819

The William CROSS who married Charlotte BENSON in 1844 is not the same William CROSS who married Ann TIMMINS as they were still having children after 1844

William CROSS born 1797 - son of John Allen CROSS died in 1845
William CROSS born 1821 - son of Thomas CROSS died in 1868

The William CROSS who married Ann TIMMINS had children up till 1856, so he cannot be the William CROSS born in 1797
