PRIOR family

[DaveHam9]

Variation: Rosina, Rosanna, Rosann, Rosannah
Rosina PRIOR b. 2 Sep 1827 c. 2 Dec 1827 Bexhill, East Sussex
- parents Henry PRIOR & Eliza WEST ??

I can't find that marriage.

Family said to have arrived in Australia on 11 Oct 1837 on the 'Augusta Jessie' Emigrant ship - 380 tons - Portsmouth - 63 males, 62 females & 102 children under 12 - 1 adult & 7 child deaths

Henry PRIOR 31 Collar maker - married with 5 children - no other info on that 'card'

Rosina married 3 times and this is probably her death - don't know where she is buried. Not at the Northern Suburbs Cemetery which is nearby. The closest actual one is Gore Hill Cemetery but that is not on-line. Records of it in local library.

3229/1898 MACGREGOR ROSINA - HENRY - ELIZA - ST LEONARDS

The 'Henry' fits the shipping record but I don't know if the 'Eliza' bit is accurate.

OH Looks like your Prior family lost a baby on the ship

Folio 18: Louisa Prior, aged 7 months; disease or hurt, bronchitis. Put on sick list, 23 August 1837, at sea. Died, 26 August 1837. She had been seized in the night with a [stifling] which prevented her from suckling and was labouring under dyspnoea when taken to the surgeon

[DaveHam9]

Thanks gibbo.

Apart from Rosina I have no idea yet of the other children. Not even 100% sure that is the right family and vessel.

Noticed another name on that sick list - James Rootes from Sussex - he is in my tree too.

On Rosina's 2nd marriage her father Henry is a shoemaker - very different from a collar maker on the shipping card.

Two families or an error with the word 'collar' ??? Or my error in reading 'shoe' off the parish register.

Rosina was 68 when she died. Shocking to read that is so i had a look on the actual copy of the paper and it states 68 Does that age tie in with the Rosina you are looking for?

It's news to me. :2fun:

I have no idea if Eliza remarried. I have no death for Henry or Eliza or any of the 5 children (if that is the right family on shipping record) apart from Rosina.

Thanks. Yes, that is the right one. Age is a bit out - born 1827 I think.

William McGREGOR was #3. I have no death for him.

Stephen, M.A., Mr. W. R. Green, of Sydney, to Mrs. Eliza Prior, widow, late of Newtown

Rosina's 2nd marriage in 1859 lists her parents as Henry Prior shoemaker and Eliza West. May or may not be proof they are both still alive just because it does not say 'deceased' on the record.

That is a marriage I should be able to find on film at the Mitchell Library. I wonder if Eliza had to wait a minimum 3 months after Henry died?

Death 1344/1861 PRIOR HENRY - HENRY - HANNAH - NEWTOWN

No age and probably no death notice:

PRIOR Henry Funeral notice 25MAY1861 Funeral late of Sydney Sydney Morning Herald 25MAY1861

Seems only one was born in NSW:

V1838326 23A/1838 PRIOR FREDERICK W - HENRY - ELIZA
V183896 149/1838 PRIOR FREDERICK W - HENRY - ELIZA

Children possibly and not in order:

Rosina
Louisa
Mary Ann
Eliza
George
Albert
Edward

If only 5 arrived then two died before they left.

 

[DaveHam9]

Marriage V1843314 27C/1843 BIRD JOHN - PRIOR ELIZA CI= St Peters Campbelltown

I can get that one on film.


This is curious - 2 RC marriages:

V1854435 138/1854 MILES WILLIAM - PRIOR MARY A LD= RC St Marys Sydney

V1854445 100/1854 PRIOR GEORGE - MANNING MARGARET LD

Can't see a marriage or death for Louisa, but we know she was on the vessel.


V1854769 81/1854 PRIOR ALBERT - WALLACE JANE JY= Presbyterian Bungonia, Goulburn

Louisa died on board the ship Dave. Posted earlier on this thread

Oh, it's not even 8 pm. :2fun: I didn't read past the 'Put on sick list'

We either have 2x PRIOR families - one RC or we have at least one who arrived separately from the family because we have more than 5.

 

[DaveHam9]

One tree only has Rosina and brother Albert. No death for Henry or Eliza.

The tree has her death as MARSH in 1907. That author didn't even know she married a 3rd time.
