Classification: Query
Surnames: BEDGGOOD, MITCHELL, BERTRAM, GILLIES, THORNBURY
I have hit a brick wall with a cluster of details for the Bedggood family from the East Coast of Tasmania. I am hoping someone may be able to furnish information regarding the following:
1. Death details for Margaret BEDGGOOD(nee Mitchell) born circa 1825 (date of birth based on her admission to the Queens Orphan School on 2 Feb 1850, aged 5).
Margaret married Joseph Bedgood at the school house at Swansea on 28 Jun 1843. In addition to my g grandmother Martha, Joseph and Margaret had 10 children I know of*, they were;
Mary Ann born 1846
Hannah Marie born 1848
Margaret born 1850
Joseph born 1852
John born 1854
Thomas born 1855
Richard born 1856
Charles born 1858
Clarence born 1860
Alice born 16 Apr 1866
A web source gave Margaret's date of death as 17 May 1866(one month after the birth of daughter Alice) but Tas Archives was unable to find any record of Margaret's death and sent marriage cert 1885 for daughter Margaret.
*I am presently awaiting birth registration of several of these Bedggood siblings but at present can only confirm Mary Ann's birth date. The stated ages on the death certificates of Richard and Alice are consistent with the dates I have for these. I think it may be possible that youngest sister Alice may have been the daughter of Joseph's 2nd marriage.
2. Birth details for Martha BEDGGOOD. Martha married James Brown GILLIES in the house of Mr Bedgegood, Templestowe near Seymour, on the 22nd July 1867. Her marriage registration states she was a spinster aged "above 21". Martha died on 24th Nov 1902 at Seymour. Her headstone states her age as 58. A search by Tas Archives was unable to locate birth records for Martha for 1846/7 and registration for sister Mary Ann was sent instead.
On her death certificate her stated bithplace is given as Bicheno and her age is stated as 50; the informant was W.Rust, SI of Police Swansea .
3. Birth details for Ellen Laura (Nell) BEDGGOOD, half sister of Martha. Ellen married William THORNBURY at Queenstown in Jul 1899. Her marriage cert. gives her birth place as Seymour and names her parents as Joseph and Mary Ann BEDGGOOD. Her age is clearly stated as 33 but again a search by Tas Archives for 1866 was unsuccessful (not surprising as Alice Bedggood was apparently born in 1866).
I would also be interested if anyone has details of death or 2nd marriage for Ellen. She was widowed in 1909 when William THORNBURY was killed in a mine accident. She later remarried and lived in Valley Road Devonport from around 1920 til her death sometime after 1940s.
4. Lastly I would be interested in knowing details for the 2nd marriage of Joseph BEDGGOOD (1814-1880) to Mary Ann(Maria Annie). I believe Mary Ann's former surname was BERTRAM but I have not confirmed this.
