1700s St. Kitts Leeward Is
Late 1700s & early 1800s Royal Navy - Southwark

... eldest surviving son of the late Mr. Thomas Hawkins, Roxburghshire ...
I can only find the one baptism in NSW so when was the marriage and where were the other children born?

Did Thomas senior and Mary Ann leave NSW?

The 1842 baptism was Presbyterian. I will try to look that up on Wednesday.

for Stephen Perdrian & Maria - found some discussion on A.. forums which has:

Stephen (V) was born on St Kitts in 1768 and died in London in 1820 while still in the RN attached to HM Semaphore Station at Southwark. His father Stephen (VI) was born on St Kitts in 1731 and died there in 1801. He married Margretta LANGLEY on St Kitts in 1766.
It is easy now to see how Stephen was able to enter the RN aged 12 on 12 Aug 1780 as Captain's servant on HMS 'Venus' in WI Squadron of Admiral Sir George Brydges Rodney (a family friend). One PERDRIAU was even named after the Admiral.
Stephen served on HMS 'Boreas' and then HMS 'Endymion'. Later on 2 May 1785 was captain's servant when NELSON took command of HMS 'Boreas'.
[There is a probably gap here in his service]
Navy List of May 1808 has him as Perdrieau S. a Lieutenant [promoted 1796]

1801 HMS 'Alkmar'
30 Sep 1803 HMS 'Pylades'
16 Dec 1804 HMS 'Scout'
8 Mar 1805 HMS 'Royal William'
1808 HMS 'Hardy'
later 1808 no longer in command of HMS 'Hardy'.

In 1817 he relinquished command of HMS 'Waldemar' and was appointed to HM Semaphore Station West Square, St Georges Southwark.

I don't know when he was promoted to Commander. He married Maria ROWE daughter of Dr George ROWE a Surgeon in the RN on 23 Jul 1802 St Mary's Portsea. Maria's sister Mary Ann married Dr Henry CARTER.

Stephen & Maria's three youngest sons trained as captains for the Merchant Service.
George Augustus entered the Blue Coat School (Christ's Hospital) in 1821 and Joseph Packwood in 1824. Youngest son Henry Carter was born on 5 Nov 1817 Southwark and baptised 13 Oct 1826 at St John the Evangelist Lambeth.
He was living with his sister Catherine. He was admitted to the Lower School at Westminster Rd Lambeth on 4 Dec 1826 and to the Upper School for Officers on 10 Apr 1828. The Greenwich Royal Hospital School became the Royal Naval College in 1873.
Henry arrived in Australia in 1837 where he died in 1892 after a long career as a steamboat proprietor at Balmain.
This little snippet from the London Times explains, it also appears to add more to the confusion surrounding his “promotion” to Commander:

The Times, Thursday, Jan 27, 1820; pg. 1; Issue 10839; col A
“Category: Classified Advertising
VERY PECULIER DISTRESS.- The WIDOW of Lieutenant STEPHEN PERDRIEU, R. N., No. 36, Telegraph West-square, a gentleman who stood high in the estimation of his superiors both as a good man and zealous officer, with nine small children, the youngest not exceeding seven months; this distressed family excites the pity of neighbourhood, their loss is lamentable, their circumstances most afflicting; their father lying a corps, the three youngest children almost at death’s door from the effect of hooping-cough, and without the common necessaries of life, dependent upon kind friends for daily support and also for clothes. Any aid from the humane will be thankfully and gratefully acknowledged, and it proposed to place whatever sum is raised in the hands of a committee for the relief of the family; references in the immediate neighbourhood; and of the committee; at 37 West square, next door to the deceased, will satisfy any enquiries as to the authenticity of the above. Subscriptions will be received by Mr, Sholl, 37, West square, and 7 Clement’s-inn, Strand; Mr, Bonner, 86, Fleet street; Mr, Webb, Salisbury Street, Strand; Mr, Egerton, book-seller, Whitehall; and Messrs, Hodsell and Stirling, bankers, 345, Strand.

Subscribed by friends 4-10-0
Lieut Grant Allen R. N. 2-0-0
N.B. The unfortunate officer was native of St. Kitts, and without a relative in this country.”

He married Maria ROWE on 23 Jul 1802 St Mary's Portsea, Hampshire.

Thanks Val.

Henry Carter is said to be the only one to come to Australia but the connection between Perdriau and Hawkins I think must be Mary Ann.

Too hot to leave the house today with forecast 38 C. I'll try to check the 1842 baptism tomorrow and hope it has Mary Ann's maiden name.

This makes it even more puzzling.

Bap V1842591 45A/1842 HAWKINS THOMAS - THOMAS - MARY A

Page -
Presbyterian Baptisms solemnized in the Parish of - in the County of - in the Year 1842
No. - When Baptised: 13th Octr. 1842 When Born: 2nd Octr. 1842 Thomas - Thomas Hawkins & Mary Ann Gregg Abode: Sydney Quality or Profession: Private H. M. 99th. Regt. By whom the Ceremony was performed: J. D. Lang Minr.


What can be found for Mary Ann GREGG? * Image has Gregg but I'd include Greig.

1st / 99th Foot (Lanarkshire) Regiment of Foot 1843 - 1856
1842 saw the 99th Regiment leave Chatham for Tasmania and arrived in Sydney 1843. ??

Five vessels are listed as bringing soldiers of 99th to Sydney in 1842 (the earliest possible year) yet none of them are on the list of convict vessels. ??

Nothing is fitting.


What can be found for Thomas senior re his army service?

Thanks,

Dave

One baptism in NSW but no others ?? No death for either in NSW ??

Thanks Val.

2x Mary Ann GREGG.


Apart from the birth in Hobart we have little else on the one in Tasmania.

Children Born to Female Convicts Under Sentence
Mary Ann GREGG Mary Ann Female 16 December 1854 Hobart Colonial Hospital
No Mary GREGG on the transportation database to VDL or on the list of convicts. Or Greig or Greg or Greeg.

TOL in 1838 so she can't still be under sentence in Hobart in 1854.

Thanks Val.

... having been in Bathurst for more than sixty years.
20/7/1843: Married at Holy Trinity Church of England, Kelso. They had 6 children, William b1835, Sarah Anne b1837, Elizabeth b1839, Catherine b1841, John b 1844, Henry b1846 – 4 children were born before they married.
A child born 1842 Thomas Hawkins the father? Baptised Presbyterian not CofE.

How would Thomas be in Bathurst in early 1842?

And then Mary is in Hobart in 1850 for the birth of her 4th child with Thomas?

Very few with spelling Gregg but I can't see how it fits.
