Wow, Cherilyn, thanks for that.
Looks like the Sigismond disappearance is accounted for!

Thank you so much Chris and Sylvia - many apologies for lateness of reply, but work got in the way yesterday and I didn't get home till very late, just had the energy y to flop into bed.
The Australian marriage looks pretty likely doesn't it - I mean, how many Sigismond Myatts born around 1830 can there be!
Those newspaper clippings are really interesting, what a great find,
All that info is really appreciated, thanks again.

Thank you Sylvia, this is my last 'sighting' of him.
Sorry, yes he was living in Manchester 1841/51.
His wife is on 1861 census, alone but recorded as married, then 1871 as a widow,
Sig was born abt 1831, so I just wondered when the above marriage took place.
Thanks as always for your reply.

Hi everyone.
Asking for a favour please!

I am trying to trace what happened to someone in my tree, namely a Sigismund Myatt, who seems to disappear after 1855.

I have come across the following, and wonder if someone might be kind enough to check it out for me?

Australia Marriage Index, 1788-1950
Sophia Ford
Spouse: Sigismund Myatt

Many thanks.
