GREATHEAD family in Kent

[DaveHam9]

Joseph Greathead & Sarah Dunstall
9 March 1821 Gillingham, Kent
Joseph Greathead & Sarah Dunstall
21 March 1821 Gillingham, Kent

Don't know why two dates. Does not look like Banns - not 14 days.

Sarah Dunstall c. 16 Nov 1800 Chatham, Kent

Age at death for Joseph gives dob 1798. Probably born Kent.

Births Sep 1839
Greathead Emma Jane Sheppey 5 371


Looking for the family in 1841 and possibly 1851 depending when they left.

Family arrived 1841 - 1856 ???

Thanks,

Dave

Joseph Grinstead 61 [b. Thurness. Druggist] different occ from 1841
Sarah Grinstead 8 dau [do] age looks like 16y on the image
Emma Greathead 12 dau [b. Sheerness]
Elisa Greathead 10 dau [do]
Edward Greathead 8 son [do]

Not sure where wife, Sarah is

Joseph and Sarah are on page 19 and the others are on page 20, possibly why there is an error in the surname for Joseph and dau., Sarah

Geoff

Edit: I wonder if that is the correct family?

Some nice pictures of Joseph and Sarah also a transribed letter written 1816 by Josephs mother. Joseph trained as a druggist he was the ships doctor on the voyage. Also a diary extract and letter from Joseph and an article from the City Mission Journal.

Thanks Julie.

Thanks Geoff.


Unassisted to Victoria
AUG 1853 DIANA B 046 001
GREATHEAD —- MR 57
GREATHEAD -- MRS 54
GREATHEAD —- MR JUNR 29
GREATHEAD J MR 27
GREATHEAD -- MISS 20
GREATHEAD M MISS 17


Junior must be the eldest Joseph not with family in 1841. Mr J must be Joshua. Miss 20 must be Sarah. Miss M 17 must be Emma.

Emma married in 1858 in Victoria.
