KATHERINE WILSON

Katherine arrived in the colony of New South Wales on 6/12/1885 on the Florida

GEORGE MOBBERLEY

George arrived in the colony of New South Wales on 15/8/1879 on the Northbrook

CHARLES MOBBERLEY

Charles arrived in the colony of New South Wales on 15/8/1879 on the Northbrook. Charles Mobberley's death certificate incorrectly records his father's name as JOSEPH. He was aged 28 when he married, and was then described as a fireman (he worked as a fire attendant at the Excelsior Brickworks at Croydon). He was described as a gardener on his death certificate. Charles arrived Sydney as an assisted migrant on the Northbrook 15/8/1879 when he was described as a 41 year old labourer. He was buried in the Methodist section of Rookwood cemetery.

PHOEBE LEES

Phoebe arrived in the colony of New South Wales on 15/8/1879 on the Northbrook. Note that Phoebe Lees' birth and marriage were both registered as "Phebe", though she was named as Phoebe on the birth certificate of her son George and on her death certificate. She arrived Sydney 15/8/1879 as an assisted migrant on the Northbrook. Phoebe died aged 82 on 18/8/1925 at the home of her daughter, Mary Ann, at Ponsonby, Auckland NZ and was buried 19/8/1925 in the Methodist section, Hillsborough cemetery, Auckland NZ. Her death certificate details are as follows:

Her death notice reads "On 18 Aug, at the residence of her daughter Mrs Butler, 1 Clyde St., PONSONBY, PHOEBE, relict of CHARLES MOBBERLEY, aged 82". It seems that her son CHARLES (who it is understood was a "meat dresser" and went to the USA) was dead. It seems that her daughter HARRIET was also dead. The age would be correct for our PHEBE, and the time in NZ would be correct for time in Australia and NZ. We now know that CHARLES and PHEBE MOBBERLEY had an elder daughter, MARY ANN MOBBERLEY, and that MARY ANN MOBBERLEY married SYDNEY BUTLER in NSW in 1884. We know that PHEBE's husband, CHARLES, died 7/10/1894 and it seems likely she then went to NZ to live with MARY ANN and SYDNEY. Kelvin McCallum says that he recalls that there was a MOBBERLEY connection with NZ. He recalls an "Uncle Fred" about his mother's age who visited from NZ in the 1940s. Perhaps this was a grandson of MARY ANN and second cousin of Kelvin's mother. Put together, the above seems adequate circumstantial evidence that the PHOEBE MOBBERLEY who died in NZ on 18/8/1925 was PHEBE MOBBERLEY (née LEES)

EMMA JANE HAMBLY

Emma Jane arrived in the colony of New South Wales on 21/12/1858 on the Forest Monarch

JOSEPH SAXBY

Joseph arrived in the colony of New South Wales on 25/2/1840 on the Earl Grey

ELIZABETH ARNOLD

Elizabeth arrived in the colony of New South Wales on 25/2/1840 on the Earl Grey. Notes: Elizabeth Arnold arrived Sydney 25/2/1840 on the Earl Grey as a bounty immigrant, and was then described as a cook. She was buried 18/2/1890 at Botany cemetery. It appears that at the time of her death she was in Young with her daughter, Mrs Anna Jane Starr. ELIZABETH SAXBY (née ARNOLD) is described in F A Lascombe's publication The History of Botany 1788-1963 as "the first midwife" of Botany

WILLIAM HAMBLY

William arrived in the colony of New South Wales on 21/12/1858 on the Forest Monarch. Notes: William Hambly arrived in NSW 21/12/1858 on the Forest Monarch and was described as a gardener. William was buried 26/2/1918 at Botany cemetery. The following is a quotation from page 10 of F A Lascombe's publication "The History of Botany 1788-1963": "Lord's grant was partly subdivided and a piece was purchased by William Hambly, the founder of a well known Botany family. Born in Cornwall in 1823, Hambly followed local tradition by working in the mines and then on the land. He emigrated to NSW in 1853 and purchased 11 acres on which he established a market garden. Like Lord he was the father of a large family, having 10 children. Hambly's sons maintained an interest in market gardening and other enterprises. Amos opened a butchery at Botany while another son, Frank, later served two terms (1898-99) as Mayor of the municipality."

MARY ANN LOBB

Mary Ann arrived in the colony of New South Wales on 21/12/1858 on the Forest Monarch

Henry arrived in the colony of New South Wales on 25/2/1840 on the Earl Grey. Notes: Henry Saxby arrived Sydney 25/2/1840 on the Earl Grey as a bounty immigrant, at which time he was described as a gardener. Henry was buried 6/12/1875 at the Wesleyan cemetery, Botany.

ANN TURNER

Ann arrived in the colony of New South Wales on 25/2/1840 on the Earl Grey. Notes: Ann Turner arrived Sydney 25/2/1840 on the Earl Grey as a bounty immigrant. She was buried 27/6/1861 at Botany.

JAMES BRETT

James arrived in the colony of New South Wales on 13/2/1857 on the Plantagenet. Notes: James Brett arrived Sydney 13/2/1857 on the Plantagenet. He was buried 26/10/1900 at St Thomas' Church of England, Enfield NSW.

SUSANNAH HAMMOND

Susannah arrived in the colony of New South Wales on 13/2/1857 on the Plantagenet. Notes: Susannah Hammond arrived Sydney 13/2/1857 on the Plantagenet. She was buried 2/1/1899 in the cemetery at St Thomas' Church of England, Enfield NSW.

ADAM BOND

Adam, also known as ADAM THOMAS SEYMOUR BOND, arrived in the colony of New South Wales on 6/12/1829 on the Sarah. Notes: Though known in later life as Adam Thomas Seymour Bond, he was baptised on 18/12/1810 at Clavering simply as Adam Bond, in which name he arrived in the colony in 1829. The names "Thomas Seymour" come from the death certificate of his son, John Charles Prior Bond. His gravestone names him as Adam Thomas Bond. The death certificate of Adam Bond also raises problems in that it names Ann Parrott as the first wife. However, Adam Bond "married" Mary Ann Prior first. As Adam Thomas Bond, he married Mrs Ann Parrott (née Martin but in fact married under the name of Ann Martin) on 16/4/1851 at Sydney. Adam Thomas was described at that time as a bachelor, which seems to indicate that he had not formally married Mary Ann Prior; that rather she was a common law wife. Ann died 17/7/1884 aged 70. Adam arrived in the colony 6/12/1829 as a convict on the Sarah. The convict indent for the Sarah records him as a 17 year old uneducated protestant, born in Essex, who was convicted at Chelmsford assizes on 9/3/1829 of poaching firearms at Wenden Lofts, Essex, on 18/12/1828, and sentenced to be transported for 7 years. He was charged with 27 others, including a William Bond, and was 17 at the time. There seems no doubt that there was some sort of relationship between Adam Bond and William Bond (the first fleet baker who arrived on the Charlotte aged about 50 and who died 22/9/1839 aged "110 years") as we understand William established Bond Farm and Adam subsequently took it over. Adam Thomas (Seymour) Bond is buried at St Savior's Church of England graveyard at Belmore with his second wife, Ann Bond (formerly Mrs Parrott née Martin).

JOHN DORROUGH

John arrived in the colony of New South Wales on 13/2/1842 on the Broom

MARGARET ELLIOTT

Margaret arrived in the colony of New South Wales on 29/4/1844 on the United Kingdom. Notes: Margaret Elliott arrived Sydney 29/4/1844 on the the United Kingdom. She was buried 29/9/1902 at the old North Lismore cemetery.

EDWIN FRANCIS

Edwin appears to have been the E Francis who arrived Sydney 10/4/1853 on the the Nihalennia in company with a William Francis. This would fit in with his arrival in Port Phillip, Melbourne, on the Clara Symes on 9/2/1953. In Melbourne he heard that his sister Ann, and their cousin Martha Francis, had arrived in Sydney, whence he travelled. His death certificate gives his occupation as a retired boot manufacturer, place of birth as Bath, Somerset, UK and says he was 67 years in NSW. He was buried at the Methodist section of Rookwood cemetery. Edwin's death certificate also names his mother as "Helen" but this is not given much credibility; it is possibly a corruption of "Allen", his mothers maiden surname.

MATTHEW DORROUGH

Matthew arrived in the colony of New South Wales on 13/2/1842 on the Broom. Notes: Matthew Dorrough arrived Sydney 13/2/1842 on the Broom. His death certificate incorrectly records his mother's name as Matilda Donagh. Matthew was buried 19/8/1897 at the North Lismore cemetery.

MARTHA BOGLE

Martha arrived in the colony of New South Wales on 13/2/1842 on the Broom. Notes: Martha Bogle arrived Sydney 13/2/1842 on the Broom. She was buried 6/6/1869 at East Kangaloon.

ROBERT ELLIOTT

Robert arrived in the colony of New South Wales on 29/4/1844 on the United Kingdom. Note: Robert Elliott arrived Sydney 29/4/1844 on the United Kingdom at which time he was described as a native of Dromore, County Tyrone, Church of England and an agricultural labourer.

MARY ALEXANDER

Mary arrived in the colony of New South Wales on 29/4/1844 on the United Kingdom. Notes: Mary Alexander arrived Sydney 29/4/1844 on the United Kingdom at which time she was described as a native of Dromore, County Tyrone and Church of England.

SARAH HIGGS

Sarah was born and married as Sarah, but by the time of her death was known as "Sarah Jane". She was buried in the Church of England section of the Kingswood General Cemetery.

JOHN HIGGS

John was buried 31/1/1862 at Weatherboard, Hartley NSW

ANN LIDDY

ANN SUTTON (née LIDDY) died 1/3/1891 and is buried at Rookwood with her husband HENRY in the old Church of England section, ref 437 EE.. On her death certificate her name is recorded as ANNE SUTTON, and her father as (unknown forename) surname Lydiard.

It is noted that Ann's surname from the 1828 census and from her marriage certificate is Liddy. Ann is recorded in the 1828 census as "born in the colony" in 1816, a servant of Hannibal McArthur and then resident at Vineyard Cottage, Parramatta (note that her husband, Henry Sutton, was assigned to Hannibal McArthur). There are no Liddy's in the 1828 census other than Ann herself, and no Lydiards. Her place of birth is recorded on her death certificate as "County Clare, Ireland" and it is stated that she was 70 years in New South Wales, though of course the 1828 census records her as born in the colony. Note that 70 years would put her arrival at about 1821. ANN was placed into the orphan school 28/2/1828, and was taken out seven and a half months later by HANNIBAL McARTHUR on 14/10/1828. Some members of the family insist that ANN was initially adopted as a baby by John McArthur and that HENRY SUTTON was John McArthur's bootmaker before he was assigned to Hannibal McArthur. It is perhaps relevant that according to the Pioneer Register that ANN LIDDY married GEORGE COLLESS in about 1879. The chidren of ANN and HENRY SUTTON include SARAH SUTTON (died 1856). We find no other reference to SARAH, but find a COLIN SUTTON, born to ANN and HENRY in 1853.

THOMAS VENESS

Thomas is described as a labourer on the death certificate of his son, John

JANE WATERS

Jane was buried 7 days after the baptism of her daughter, SARAH, suggesting perhaps her death was a consequence of complications of childbirth

MARY RUNDLE

Mary is recorded in the 6/6/1851 census as head of household, widow, aged 42, farmer of 40 acres, born Michalston, Cornwall. Her maiden name comes from the birth certificate of her daughter, Maria

ARTHUR BURDON (OR BURTON)

Arthur is buried in churchyard, St Breock, Cornwall

JENEFER STRONGMAN

Jenefer is buried in churchyard, St Breock, Cornwall

JANE VENESS

Jane's maiden name from the death certificate of her son, Edward. Children's names were extracted from Battle parish records

No details known of Eleanor other than that she was the wife of JOSEPH HAWKEY and of the parish of Lanhydrock, Cornwall UK

JAMES WILSON

James was described as an excise officer on the baptismal certificate of his son, Joseph Henry. In the 1851 census he was described as "supervisor inland revenue" and resident at 34 Victoria Street, Lakenham (a suburb of Norwich), Norfolk UK.

ELIZABETH ANN PICKESS

Elizabeth Ann's maiden name of Pickess comes from the baptismal certificate of her son, Joseph Henry. In the 1851 census she is recorded as resident at 34 Victoria Street Lakenham (a suburb of Norwich), Norfolk UK.

JOSEPH HAWKEY

No details known of Joseph other than that he was of the parish of Lanhydrock, Cornwall UK

JAMES GORMAN

James was buried in the Catholic cemetery, Parish of St James. His place of abode at the time of his death was Bankstown.

ISABELLA BROWNE

Isabella's death certificate suggests that she first married aged 17, which would have meant about 1832 - this is incorrect in that she married first (to James Gorman) in 1840. It is in fact understood that she bore a number of illegitimate children to James Gorman from about 1833 and subsequently covered up that fact by claiming a young marriage. This is supported by her death certificate recording an age of 34 at the time of her second marriage in 1851, 11 years after she married James Gorman "aged 17". Her death certificate records 52 years in NSW which suggests an arrival date of about 1831. Isabella was described as a widow and "of Bankstown" when she married George Begnell in 1851. Strangely, her funeral notice in The Sydney Morning Herald is in the name of Gorman, and records her being the widow of the late James Gorman rather than naming her second husband, George Begnell. She was buried as Isabella Begnell in grave 225, section 6, Catholic section of Rookwood cemetery.

DOUGLAS STANLEY SLACK is buried in Row A1 Of the Baptist Section of Lithgow Cemetery

EDWARD FREDERICK FIELD

EDWARD FREDERICK FIELD, who worked for James Hardie, died of the cardiac consequences of massive asbestosis. This diagnosis, which resulted in a posthumous "out of court compensation settlement", arose from the later re-examination of tissues taken at autopsy and is not reflected on his death certificate. His grave is No. 2812, Section K, Sydney's Rookwood Independent Cemetery and his monumental inscription reads "Edward Frederick Field, died 6/4/1965 aged 47, loved husband of Ruth"

CHARLES MALCOLM MOBBERLEY

CHARLES MALCOLM MOBBERLEY was variously known as "Charlie" and "Malc". He attended South Strathfield Public School and Ashfield Junior Technical School, leaving the latter aged 13. It being the depression, any income he could obtain was important to the family, and he had a number of short term jobs before obtaining employment as a cleaner at the depot of a private bus company at Strathfield. The bus company was taken over by the state transport service in 1937, and this was the start of a long career that was only interrupted by army service during the Second World War. Charles Malcolm's transport department service saw him rise from cleaner, via bus conductor and bus driver, to being 1st Class Depot Inspector at the Randwick bus depot at the time of his retirement on 22/6/1978. Related to his career, he was President of the Enfield Branch of the Transport Bus Worker's Institute 1963 to 1969, and president (and later Secretary) of the Branch's fishing club 1959-69. After his retirement he became very actively involved in the Retired Bus and Tram Employees Social Club, and was the outings convenor for some years. On another plane, he was deacon of the Strathfield Homebush Baptist Church for a number of years, was a keen fisherman and, for a time, an enthusiastic golfer. He was also a keen bird keeper and breeder. He claimed to be the joint holder of a longstanding sporting record - about 1950 he (together with one Bruce Hall) shared the record highest opening partnership of 255 in the Western Suburbs District Cricket Union's C Grade Churches Competition. His contribution to the partnership was 75. Charles Malcolm Mobberley was cremated and his ashes repose in a memorial wall at St Thomas Church of England graveyard, Enfield.

DORIS MAY FIELD

DORIS MAY PRIESTLEY née FIELD's surname evolved from PRIESTLEY to the hyphenated LANGLEY-PRIESTLEY. When DORIS and FRANCIS ("Frank") married, FRANCIS had the forenames FRANCIS MERVYN LANGLEY and the surname PRIESTLEY. At some stage, for an unknown reason, the surname evolved to become the hyphenated LANGLEY-PRIESTLEY, the name adopted by both DORIS and FRANCIS by the time of their deaths.
