Thanks dave.

The Sydney Morning Herald - Tuesday 28 July 1857 p.1
PERSONS ADVERTISED FOR.
SYBELLA CATHERINE BATHER, (maiden name Berkhead) is earnestly requested to write to her sister SUSAN, care of Mr. Groves, 91 Flinders-street East, Melbourne.


Sybella supposedly married a BAITHER in England because a daughter Emily Alice born 29 Sep 1855 married in NSW as a BAITHER.

Don't know how the three sisters can be Assisted and Unassisted:

Assisted to Victoria
BIRKHEAD SUSAN E 17 APR 1853 KENT 9 94
BIRKHEAD FANNY CLARA 18 APR 1853 KENT 9 94
BIRKHEAD ROSA M 20 APR 1853 KENT 9 94

Unassisted Index to Victoria:
Family NameGiven Name Age Month Year Ship Port Fiche Page
BIRKHEAD FANNY CLARA 18 APR 1853 KENT B 034 007
BIRKHEAD ROSA MATILDA 20 APR 1853 KENT B 034 007
BIRKHEAD SUSAN EMMA 17 APR 1853 KENT B 034 007


Sybella's arrival not found 1851 - 1857. Sister Susan obviously though Sybella was in NSW in 1857.

Married using her maiden name.

Australia Marriage Index, 1788-1950
Name: Sybella Catharine Birkhead
Spouse Name: John Alexander Carter
Marriage Place: Victoria
Registration Place: Victoria
Registration Year: 1858
Registration Number: 2720


Marriage 2736/1875 CHANNON JOHN - BAITHER EMILY ALICE - ADELONG ** Not CofE **

Death 10128/1934 CHANNON EMILY A (-BAITHER) 79 YRS MANLY SYBELLA C - MANLY

If Sybella married using her maiden name because she didn't marry in England then why did her daughter marry as BAITHER and not as BIRKHEAD. And where is the birth reg for Emily Alice?

1823 Sutton Saint Nicholas, Hereford
Batch: M139631

1851 shows Sybella born Sutton but 1841 shows bic.


Seems the father of Emily Alice was an Edward Baither/Bather. One tree has her birth as 29 Nov 1855.

Sybella and daughter Emily and a John Alexander CARTER travelled together from England to Australia sometime 1856 - 1858.

John was a steward on 'S.S Alexandria' on a voyage to England. It's not clear if he was still crew on the return to Australia or if it was the same vessel.
