The State Library of Victoria holds a watercolour painting of the ship Bussorah Merchant in the La Trobe Picture Collection. You can see an image of it at http://members.iinet.net.au/~dodd/gail/tallships/Bussorah.html The vessel, formerly a convict transport, has the dubious honour of being the first known to use North Head, Sydney, as a quarantine site in August 1828. With smallpox raging through the ship, the Bussorah Merchant landed her passengers and crew on a small beach at North Head, the dramatic and ruggedly beautiful northern promontory at the entry to Sydney Harbour. Migrant Ships for South Australia 1836-1860 by Ronald Parsons: BUSSORAH MERCHANT 530t/659t, 3 mast ship rig, B.1818 Howrah, 117'x31'11"x5'9" tween decks, Duncan Dunbar, London. (Engaged as a convict transport 1828-1831). Arrived 10 November 1848 from London and Plymouth, Capt. Edwards ('Register' 11 November 1848). The Somerset Years - Government Assisted Emigrants ...states that the Bussorah Merchant was built entirely from teak at Calcutta in 1818. "An older vessel than most on the emigrant run, she had carried the first group of government-assisted emigrants to Sydney in 1833. The ship had undergone repairs several times over the years. She was felted and doubled in '33, had repairs to topsides and decks in '46, and was sheathed with yellow metal in '49..." The book details an account of a journey in 1850. Doug

Wilmott Melhuish THOMPSON and her future husband John SHIPWAY left Hawkesbury and emigrated to Australia on the Bussorah Merchant along with their parents in 1839. Andrew Charles Bussorah SHIPWAY was born on the voyage. The medical report of the ship's surgeon is available at the PRO Kew under catalogue no ADM 101/76/5. There are reports for the ship also referring to voyages in 1828, 1829/30 and 1831 when she was designated a convict ship. In 1839 the designation is emigrant ship. I found these other details of the ship which were given at her registration in 1853 in London. BUSSORAH MERCHANT - 1853 Master: Captain P.D. Blyth Rigging: Ship; sheathed in felt and doubled in 1833; sheathed in yellow metal in 1852; fastened with iron bolts. Tonnage: 531 tons Construction: 1818 in Calcutta, using Teak; top sides & deck doubled in 1846 Owners: D. Dunbar Port of registry: London Port of survey: London Voyage: sailed for Sydney Some of the descendants may be interested in this. Doug Thompson

An interesting day and more of it to come. New listers may not be aware that in 1839 one branch of the Hawkesbury THOMPSON's set sail for Aus on the Bussorah Merchant. Other list members have relatives that were on board for the same voyage. Cousin Doug has now come up with lots of interesting information about the vessel whcih he promises to post to the list in the next few days. Wake up Linda BARRACLOUGH. Australian listers may also like to know that the trustees of the SS Great Britain were today awarded millions of pounds to ensue the great ships survival.

Tell it like it was Marilyn! The women were on trial and if there was no conception, it was assumed to be her fault, so she was ditched. Or that's the way it was told to me.

If your reading this Karen didn't find any WHITWORTHs either. Regards Robert. Millard The Grave Robber

Charmaine STEWART is a direct descendant of Rodelinda Rowena THOMPSON and lives in Victoria, Aus. Charmaine has evidence of Augusta Edith THOMPSON in Austarlia as well. Augusta is sister to Rodelinda and Alletta. It is possible that Asenath also emigrated. Watch this space as the saying goes ! Is there anbybody in Aus who isnt related to a THOMPSON ?

Thanks, Geoff, for the reference to the Canadian poster with the ALWAY name. The incident was the Rebellion of Upper Canada which took place in December 1837, with the principal skirmish between the rebels and the militia taking place on 7th December. It lasted 20 minutes. The rebellion was an attempt to secure a reform of the narrow and tyrannical institutions in Canada at the time, and was eventually successful, although the rebellion itself was badly managed and many of the insurgents were captured. Some were executed. Some of my LAWRENCE family were caught up in the events, and as a result moved on to Ogle County, Illinois, where they founded Canada Settlement just north of Polo, together with other refugees from the rebellion. I have further information if any listers are interested. On the subject of illegitimacy and the WHITWORTH/HOPKINS query, I can quote an example from my own family, although in Sussex, not Gloucestershire. My gt-grandfather Frederick was born in 1836, the son of Emma SARGENT and William HOMARD. William HOMARD married Harriet BARDEN in 1838 and emigrated to New South Wales the same year. Emma SARGENT had a second illegitimate son in 1840 (the father was William BARDEN, brother of the aforementioned Harriet), but then disappears from view. The son Frederick, now having neither father nor mother, was brought up by his HOMARD grandparents. However, while on most official documents (census, marriage certificate, etc) he gave his name as Frederick SARGENT, from time to time the surname HOMARD was used, and this eventually became the norm. My grandfather put the two names together with a hyphen between. My feeling is that there was a much greater tolerance of illegitimacy than is generally thought. At a time when many brides were pregnant on their wedding day, and life expectancy short, it would seem that a bastard child was an accepted event in the early 19th century, and treated sympathetically. Perhaps it was later that morality took its revenge. Nothing to do with Hawkesbury there, but hope it helps someone.

Geoff and Karen I was very interested in this message - last Friday I discovered my 2xg grandmother Hester born in Charfield was a WHITWORTH - I found her on Gordon Beavington's CD listed with her family WHITWORTH James 43 Woollen Cloth Spinner Chard Martha 39 Burler Wotton under Edge Humphrey 16 Brusher Charfield Elizabeth 11 Joiner Charfield Hester 6 Scholar Charfield I found James WHITWORTH listed in the 1881 census as a widower with his son George who was born at Kingswood (I don't know where George was in 1851). Although I can't see a connection at the moment - there are quite a few coincidences. A friend is ordering Hester's marriage certificate next week from the FRC - after that I will get her birth cert. Hester married James ORGAN from North Nibley and lived the rest of her life there.

Morning All Received today from Odette BADMAN in Glastonbury, who members will remember we went to visit last week. Odette is a RODWAY - ALWAY descendant. Her letter includes details of a cousin of Bernadette SIEBERT in Canada. Bernadette lives in New Zealand. Also enclosed is a photocopy of the following web page which is brilliant :- http://www.nlc-bnc.ca/events/twofift/gat12.gif the poster is dated 16th December 1837 or 87.

At the suggestion of The Pond Dipper I am re-posting my interests. Was my Lucy descended from a Hawkesbury STINCHCOMBE? Lucy, from Yate; married in Bristol and lived in Wickwar, just a spit from Hawkesbury, is my one and only STINCHCOMBE . Lucy STINCHCOMBE, my great great grandmother, married George REDDY on 25 Jun 1831 at St.Phil. & St.Jac. Bristol; their daughter, Lucy REDDY, born in Wickwar, married Ezekiel Holman TREVETHAN and their eldest son, Sydney Charles TREVETHAN, was my mother's father. Lucy STINCHCOMBE's birthplace and date are established as Yate, 1808 from the 1851 & 1881 census. The only Stinchcomb family producing children in Yate c.1808 were: Arthur STINCHCOMB m Charlotte BAKER (b. Yate 1792), 22 Feb 1806, Yate Their children were: Harriott STINCHCOMB b. c.27 Jul 1806, Yate (Father - Arthur; Mother - Charlotte) George STINCHCOMB b. c.26 Aug 1810, Yate, (Father - Arthur; Mother - Charlotte) Unfortunately there is no sign of Lucy, who would fit neatly between these dates. I am informed that that the entering of data into the Yate Parish Register at this time was fairly haphazard, with a number of christening entries missing the surname, and sometimes one or both of the parent's names. There is no Lucy Stinchcomb christening recorded in the IGI for 1808 ( +/- 10yrs). Notes on George REDDY and Lucy STINCHCOMBE: George REDDY b. c.25 Apr 1802 at Wickwar. 25 June 1831 George REDDY m. Lucy STINCHCOMBE St.Phil. & St.Jac. Bristol George and Lucy's eldest daughter, Sarah, was born in Wickwar c.1834. George was dead by 1881 (Lucy recorded as Widow in the 1881 Census).

Hello All, This is an indirect Hawkesbury question, and is a followup on the info that Kaye provided in early July, regarding the immigration of William SHIPWAY to South Australia. I have found William on the passenger list of the "Alquis" which arrived in Adelaide,SA. 26 August 1856. His wife Sarah, sons Edgar and Edward, 10, (twins?) and daughters Rachel 13 and Charlotte 3, are listed also - but - according to the 1851 census William and Sarah had two older sons, George 15 and Henry 11. My question is - did George and Henry stay in Gls. or did they also come to Australia at a later date? Another one - can anyone tell me Sarah's maiden name? ( she was born in Ozelworth, re the census) Helga, Takura, Australia.

Dear Brian, I can't remember reading the message below, although I had kept it in my "Inbox". I apologise for that!!!! Have you proceeded any further since you wrote the message about Hester? I haven't got any further, but just noticed this message,(still don't know how I've let it slip through!) so I will hope that HESTER id ROBERT'S sister. Have you any idea who her Parents were?

My apologies to all listers for keeping you waiting for news of our expedition to Tresham. All the readable momuments have now been recorded and I will transcribe these shortly.

On the 18th of February 1822 Mary Ann WHITWORTH was removed to Butterworth, Lancashire by the parish of Kingswood. She was with child. In 1851 the child, Charles WHITWORTH is a servant in Charfield. In 1861 he is married to a Hwkesbury HOPKINS and in service at Westbury on Trym (now part of Bristol). His father is named on the marriage certificate as Charles HOPKINS. A christening record can be found on the online IGI but with a patron submission number for May 1822 in Rochdale, Lancashire ( Butterworth was part of Rochdale). Is it possible that MAry Ann WHITWORTH did not go back to Lancs and instead went to Charfield ?Is it possible that the boy was sent back to live with dad because mum died ? What do listers think ? Karen DAVIES would welcome your thoughts and help on this. If you havent posted your interests for a while then you should do so. 60 people on this list are waiting to hear from you. Dont forget the get together on September 30th to which all listers are warmly invited Geoffro The Pond Dipper Http://www.HawkesburyFamilyHistory.co.uk

Hi Jewel I saw the family of James WHITWORTH in Charfield (1851) also. I am feeling quite strongly that once my mystery is solved, we may find that the James WHITWORTH family is going to fit in somehow with my WHITWORTHs. I'm so glad to hear that you've found someone in your tree because of the chatter about my tree. I suppose we shouldn't hold our breaths but may have a connection. Stay tuned.
