Hi
In my direct line I have quite a large Stallworthy family. I saw an old post on another forum from an Australian descendent but his email address has disappeared. He said, "My maternal grandmother was born a Stallworthy. Her father and his parents and three siblings, as well as other relatives, a total of 33 arrived in Port Phillip (Melbourne) in July 1853, aboard the ship Richard."
I didn't know I was missing so many!
Last seen in Middlesex, 1851, parents born Buckinghamshire:
Edward Stallworthy, b. 1815
Mary A Stallworthy, wife, b. 1817
John E Stallworthy, b. 1843
Richard E Stallworthy, b. 1849
George Stallworthy, b. 1850
I've found Edward, and his son John E, on the NSW BDMs, but I can't find the ship Richard arriving 1853, let alone any passenger lists and certainly not 28 other family members! :D
Would be most grateful for any information. :)
Cheers

You mentioned 33 members, maybe the others have different surnames.
There is an entry on First Families 2001 website for Edward Hutton Stallworthy born Wheatley, Oxfordshire, died 1899 Young, arrived on Richard in 1853. His wife, Mary Ann Viccars and eight children listed. Was this the entry you saw as there is a contact email.
Hope this is helpful

Also, your family may have had service records

The Embarkation Roll is quite useful as it lists next of kins name and address

Thank you Cazay and Genni. I've struck gold on the Service records already ... and what's even better, they survived WWI and returned to Australia. ;D
The births in Australia of Edward and Mary's children are perfect, as are the marriages! :) :)
Arthur A and Wallis Stallworthy are definitely mine, however, the list of unassisted immigrants with the initials has me really confused. I can, with a bit of creativity, fit names to them, but if those are their ages then there aren't obvious parents - it's as if they are all siblings. Very odd!
I Googled for the First Families 2001 site, and found the family there. It has been put in by the same fellow whose post I saw, so I'll try his email address.
Thank you both very much for all your help.
Best wishes

I'll be going to the SLV or Pub Records in the next couple of weeks will check the passenger list for you.
Can tell you though the 'Richard' left from a Foreign port and not a British one. The 'F' on the index indicates that.

Hi Genni
I think I'm being a bit slow on the uptake here!
When you say "the 'Richard' left from a Foreign port" are you referring to the R Stallworthy in the list that Cazay posted? Do you think he might be the Richard Ezra Stallworthy that you gave me so much info about?
Thank you so much for offering to check the pasenger list. That would be wonderful.
Regards
Koromo

The "Richard" I refer is the Ship.

Hi Koromo
Found this entry for Rookwood Cemetery...........
STALLWORTHY Dicky, died 28 December 1921, age 8
Catholic Mortuary 2 & 3, Section 5, Row 38, Grave 1534
INSCRIPTION READS: Son of R & J Stallworthy, Collarenabri and Grandson of E Kirkpatrick. Accidentally killed
This looks like a match to death entry on NSW Bdm's for Richard E STALLWORTHY, parents Richard E and Janet I (1921)

Sorry, Cazay, I've only just caught up with this.
There are far too many Richard E Stallworthys floating around ... well, that's three of them in Australia now. It's just a matter of working out which one belongs to whom! It will all get easier if/when the NSW birth records go beyond 1905.
I think I've got it sussed, and yes, the one who died so young :( does seem to be mine.
Thank you very much. :)

Also found an entry for Janet Imelda Stallworthy aged 88 30 January 1977 at Collarenebri Hospital on Ryerson Index(various newspaper funeral and death notices)
A couple of the other entries may belong to your family as well.
If you Google Ryerson Index you can search the names yourself

Hi Koromo
I checked the passenger List of the 'Richard'. It a left Paraiba (i think thats the name) and arrived Melb 7th July 1853. The master was William White.
It included passengers from 'Sir Fowell Buxton' (wrecked).
I don't know if the Stalworthy's were originally on the 'Sir Fowell Buxton'. There is no mention of children but the written listing is as follows:
E Stalworthy 39 Male Married
M Stalworthy 41 Female Married
E Stalworthy 26 Male married
C Stalworthy 38 married (i forgot to write whether male or female) sorry
R Stalworthy 34 Single male
W Stalworthy 29 Single male
C Stalworthy 27 Single male
They were all british subjects.
Sir Fowell Buxton struck Tapioca Shoals off the coast of Brazil, north of Cape San Roque, 16 December 1852.
Cheers

Hi
Cazay, thanks for directing me to the Ryerson index - as well as Janet, I found one other definite member of the family. ;D
Genni, thank you so much for going to the trouble of looking up the passengers. I am presuming now that the children might not have been on the list, so I just need to match up the adults - and now I know which are married or not. It must have been a really crowded voyage with extra passengers from the wrecked ship, but very lucky!
Thanks again, I really appreciate it. :)
Best wishes

Dear Koromo,
I just came across your enquiry on the Edward Hutton Stallworthy and families emigration to Australia.
I posted the info on the First Families years ago. I actually have a copy of the passenger list for the "Richard" as well as some information on their departure from UK on the "Sir Fowell Buxton" which was apparently shipwrecked. They joined "Richard" at Val Paraiso in Chile.
I have a lot of info, far from complete on the family in Australia.
I have some information on their Buckinghamshire family however I am looking for more.
I would like to hear from you. Keep in touch
Regards

Gidday Jeff!
How super that you've found RootsChat! I guess we must be related somehow. :D
I would love to hear more about the Australian Stallworthys and I do have a reasonable amount of info on the Buckinghamshire forebears.
I've sent you a private message with my email address.
Best wishes

Dear Koromo,
Last week I had a visitor, a cousin, Ray Stallworthy who has been, along with me, researching the Stallworthy family.
We have both been very slack, however we jointly resolved to “get stuck into it” again.
My first resolution was to try to contact Jean Hinder (Stallworthy) from Aylesbury, which I have done and then to contact you to see what you have been up to. Hopefully your email address hasn’t changed.
I know I promised to send you some information on the Australian branches of the family.
I’ll start with a couple of photos of a grave at Young, NSW. I know I need to update my Stallworthy file, and as soon as I do I will send you a copy.
The first? Stallworthys in Australia departed England in Oct 1952.
Edward Hutton Stallworthy was born, 1816 in Wheatley, Oxfordshire, England, married Mary Ann Viccars at Padbury in 1840. His parents were Ezra Stallworthy and Betsy Perkins.
They sailed on the ship “Sir Fowell Buxton” which as you know was wrecked, and arrived in Port Phillip (Melbourne) on the ship “Richard”.
I really just wanted to get in touch again.
Regards and Best Wishes

Hi Jeff
Long time no see! :D I've sent you an email.

I've not used RootsChat for a long time and this is a very long shot too. If Jeff Thorne is still available I am interested in the shipping list for The Richard coming into Melbourne in July 1853. I volunteer as a family history researcher at my local library and one of our clients may have a passenger on board that ship following the Sir Foxwell Buxton shipwreck earlier. Name I am seeking is Michael Ryan from Ireland (common name I know) but I have to try everything. Thank you.

Hello, I am Jeff Thornes daughter. Unfortunately dad passed away in 2017. I’ve been attempting to sort some of his family history bits and pieces but I haven’t come across the full list of people who were on the ship. I’ll keep looking
Best Regards
