Jemima Gwyther born Bristol
Greetings
My Great Great Grandparents were Thomas Gwyther and Elizabeth Unknown. So far I have only found one daughter, Jemima born circa 1842 at Bristol England. She was christened at St Andrews, Clifton, Gloucester 19th June 1842 Ref IGI
Jemima travelled alone to Australia in 1861 on the ship Utopia, and married James Bowden Searle in 1865.
They had 3 children, Eliza Ann b 1866, Thomas James Bowden b 1868, Mary Emily b 1870.
Eliza Ann Searle married Hector Melville Macfarlane 24th December 1888, and had 8 children, Linda Bowden b 1889, Myrtle Irene b 1891, Arthur James b 1893, Hector Melville B 1896 (Lived for 2 days), Frederick Gordon b 1898, Emily Melville b 1900, Hector Walter b 1903, Lillian Beatrice b 1905.
Jemima's inlaws were early settlers in Melbourne Australia, arriving in 1840, just 5 years after the first settlement of the town.
I am particularly interested in going back to Jemima's family and beyond.
Regards
Graham
