The message posted yesterday did not include details on children of Henry Pitt MEREDITH. More continues to be learned about each of these children as research progresses. Hopefully these details will help those who are trying to answer questions I posted yesterday about wives of Henry Pitt MEREDITH. 1. Ellen BUCKLEY, also used surname MEREDITH. a. Born about 1855 in California, United States, possibly a daughter of Henry's first wife before he married her. Records of that time period in the gold rush area are difficult to find. b. Ellen BUCKLEY, age 5 on 1860 La Porte, Sierra County, California census c. MAYBE--Ellen MEREDITH, age 18 on 1871 census, birthplace unknown, dressmaker, at Hanover Square, London, England (not sure about this one, but she was one of several unrelated individuals in the home) d. Ellen MEREDITH, age 26 on 1881 census, birthplace San Francisco, America (Sierra County is north and east of San Francisco), draper's assistant, at St. Albans, Hertfordshire, England in home of a draper who employed seven assistants. e. Ellen MEREDITH, age 34 or 36 (hard to read) on 1891 census, draper's assistant, born United States (British subject), living with married William MEREDITH and listed as his sister. This census is the one that makes me pretty certain that the first wife of Henry died in America. f. Have not found Ellen after 1891 nor a death record. g. Ellen likely did not marry. Relatives in Australia have indicated that two maiden aunts (sisters to Henry James MEREDITH) wrote to the family from the British Isles. I believe her to be one of these two. 2. Mary Ann MEREDITH. a. Born about 1858 in California, United States to Henry Pitt MEREDITH and first wife Margaret RILEY. b. Age 1 on 1860 census, La Porte, Sierra County, California, taken in June. c. Believe she also did not marry and was the other maiden aunt that corresponded with relatives in Australia. d. Have not found her after family returned to the British Isles, either on census or a death record. 3. Henry James MEREDITH. a. Born in 1859/1860 in California, United States to Henry Pitt MEREDITH and first wife Margaret RILEY. b. Family Bible in Australia that he wrote in gave birth as March 1860. c. On 1860 census for La Porte, Sierra County, California that was taken in June 1860 and was to show those in home on June 1, 1860, showed him as six months old. d. He would have been under ten years old when his father married second wife in 1869 in Breconshire. e. Have not found him on 1871 or 1881 census records. f. In 1885 he went to Australia, married shortly after his arrival to a girl who was born in Australia, had five children, and remained in Australia. I am corresponding with his descendants who live there. g. Died in 1921 in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. 4. William T. MEREDITH. a. Born about 1862 in California, United States. b. Age 19 on 1881 census, born in America, railway clerk, Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, with his father Henry MEREDITH c. Married by 1887 to Elizabeth (who was born in Tredegar, Monmouthshire). d. Daughter Sadie MEREDITH born about 1887 in Blaenavon, Monmouthshire. e. Daughter Annie MEREDITH born about 1888 in Merthyr, Glamorganshire. f. Age 29 on 1891 census, born in United States (British subject), railway agent, at Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorganshire. "Sister" Ellen MEREDITH in home in addition to his wife and daughter Annie. (Actually Ellen is believed to be Ellen BUCKLEY, his step-sister.) g. Son Raymond Palmer MEREDITH, born in mid 1895, Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorganshire. h. Age 39 on 1901 census, born in California, U.S.A. (British subject), railway agent, Abergavenny, Monmouthshire. 5. Not aware of any children of Henry Pitt MEREDITH and his second wife Ann HAMER. 6.

Daughter Violet Augusta GWATKIN born spring 1899, died 23 June 1901, age two years of tubercular meningitis. h. Elizabeth Ann (MEREDITH) GWATKIN died before 1901 census was taken, as husband was listed as widowed. Elizabeth's own widowed mother was with Alfred and the three young children on the 1901 census in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire. 7. Frederick George MEREDITH. a.
