Good afternoon Andrew, My husband's Doughty family has been traced back to a James Doughty and an Ann Stailer both of the parish of Terrington St Clement, who were married in the parish church by Banns on 23rd Nov 1785. Their son Robert Doughty married Alice Gathercole on 14 May 1807 by the Rev. Ambrose Goode at the parish church. Witnesses were Hannah and William Reader. Children born to the couple were John Doughty 1808(died ???), Robert Doughty 1811 died before 1819, Hannah Doughty 1813 died 1813, Hannah Doughty 1814, Mary Doughty 1817, Robert Nicholas Doughty 1819. Robert Nicholas Doughty is my husband's line. Robert Nicholas was baptised at Walpole St Peter in Norfolk by Rev. John Nelson on 19th December 1819. Robert Nicholas Doughty was married first to "...unknown..." and she died before 1846. In 1846 Widower Robert Nicholas Doughty married Elizabeth Burcham at the Abbey Church of St Mary and St Thomas of Canterbury at Wymondham. Elizabeth was born 1829 in Wymondham. Elizabeth was the daughter of John Burcham (born circa 1793 - Wymondham - Innkeeper) and Elizabeth Burcham (born circa 1800 - Bracon Ash-NFK). John Burcham was an Innkeeper of "The Dove Inn" Town Green also at another time the "The Two Brewers" and also a Butcher in Damgate Street. There were five other children born to John and Elizabeth Burcham, we know of, John, George, Ann, Frederick and Sophia. Robert Nicholas Doughty's older brother John Doughty married Jemima Chilvers on 25th December 1827 at the parish church, Terrington St Clement by Vicar, Ambrose Goode and they had ten children, their youngest was Hannah baptised 24th August at the Parish Church, Terrington St Clements. Hannah is significant to the family story and her name will again come up later. Back to Robert Nicholas and Elizabeth Doughty (nee Burcham). Robert was a Surveyor on the construction of the Sewer line being laid through England, so their ten children were born as the job moved further south. They were born in Ruburgh and Towngreen, Wymondham in Norfolk, Tottenham in Middlesex, Plumstead in Kent, Farlington, Purbrook and Portsea in Hampshire. The family settled in Portsea, where Elizabeth used her skills she learnt in helping out her father in his pubs and the family ran "The George Public House" at 84 Queen Street, Portsea. Five of Robert and Elizabeth's sons left England and immigrated to Australia, between 1876 and 1888. The family story, was the boys became fascinated by the seafarers stories while they were drinking at their parent's Pub. Especially the stories about Down Under and how a family could do very well down there. Also, reading how well their cousin John Doughty and his family were doing from the letters they received from him. John Doughty had immigrated with his wife Rebecca (nee Griffin), her sister Sarah and her husband James Barnes to Australia per "Trafalgar" back in 1853. The first of the Doughty brothers to sail away from English shores, was Robert and Elizabeth's second eldest Robert John Doughty. Robert had married in Portsea in 1876 his first cousin Hannah Doughty, the youngest daughter of his father's brother John. It was a bit of a scandal in the family, not only were they first cousins, Hannah was 6 years older that Robert and she was pregnant at the time of their marriage. It is believe the family thought it would be a good idea for them to join Hannah's older brother John and his family Down Under. John was 14 years older than his sister Hannah. John and Rebecca were living in the Southern Tablelands village of Tumbarumba in New South Wales, raising their large family on their property called "Terrington". So Robert and Hannah left behind their families and sailed on the "Clyde" arriving in Adelaide in South Australia in 1876. Robert and Hannah disembarked on 6th Jan 1877 in Port Adelaide, where they stayed with Burcham cousins until the birth of their son Robert. They then made their way to the town of Albury, which is on the border of the states of New South Wales and Victoria. There they took over the running of the Terminus Hotel, Robert using his knowledge gained from working as his parent's Pub in Portsea. They remained in Albury raising their growing family Robert, Alice, John, George and Roger. They were so long in the town the corner where the Pub stood, became known as Doughtys Corner. Their youngest son, Roger, is my husband Alan's grandfather. Robert John Doughty made a fortune in Albury, from business at the Pub and also backing miners going to the Goldfields. However, as quickly as he made his fortune he also lost everything, leaving him a Widower and a broken man. He did not even have enough money to have a Headstone erected on his wife's grave.
