Hi there
Thanks for that. Is there anything that looks like death of wife Martha?
They also had a daughter Martha in 1850 not sure when she died (or married?) either.
Thanks.

Wow that's a bit odd would you think possibly the same person?? Lot of coincidences if it isn't wouldn't you think??
I had them having a son John WHITTENBURY born 1843 married to Mary Ann Lewis no death details tho
Daughter Martha born 1850 no marriage or death.
few other children I have details of, then a son Thomas born 1859 married to Alice no death details tho.
Thanks
Lilygirl.

Hi Lilygirl,
They didn't have much luck with their Children. I see 8 births in SA to Benjamin and Martha CAMP (one says Margaret)
Deaths
WHITTENBURG Martha 6 Jan 1851 not recorded Dist Ade 2 54 she was aged 4 months 2 weeks father B Whittenbury Residence Richmond
WHITTENBURY Charles 23 Feb 1854 Not Recorded Dist Ade aged 5 months parents Benjamin and Martha Residence Cowandilla Plains
WHITTENBURY Alice 3 July 1855 Not Recorded Dist Ade aged 6 months. Father Benjamin, mother M Residence Richmond
WHITTENBURY George 21 Mar 1858 Reedy Beds Dist Ade 5 463 aged 4 months father Benjamin Residence Reedy Beds
WHITTENBURY Alfred Camp 12 Nov 1860 Reedy Beds Dist Ade 9 186 he was aged 22 days father Benjamin Residence Reedy Beds
Although I can't find Martha's death I wonder if Benjamin may have remarried, can't find her death either
WHITTENBURY Benjamin Full age Status not recorded father Thomas = HISKEY Hannah Full age Father William HARROLD 6 May 1861 St Luke Church [Adelaide]

PS: I haven't looked at the passenger lists yet, been busy with this. Seems awfully similar as you say and only one couple having children at that time Benjamin and Martha CAMP

OK Looks like he did remarry
WHITTENBERRY Hanna 26 Sep 1901 Thebarton Dist Hin 280 347 She was aged 80, a widow, Residence Thebarton Relative Benjamin Whittenberry Deceased husband

The family are listed on the Prince Regent
http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/passengerlists/1849PrinceRegent.htm
No-one with a name similar on the Florentia in 1849, so a mistake in BISA
Cheers Kris :)

Am interested to see the birth for the one that says Margaret. Does it say mother was Margaret CAMP or just Margaret?
Ben and Marthas eldest son Benjamin married a Margaret so suppose it could be a child of theirs?? should be able to determine more with date??
WHITTENBURY Alfred Camp 12 Nov 1860 Reedy Beds Dist Ade 9 186 he was aged 22 days father Benjamin Residence Reedy Beds
Although I can't find Martha's death I wonder if Benjamin may have remarried, can't find her death either
WHITTENBURY Benjamin Full age Status not recorded father Thomas = HISKEY Hannah Full age Father William HARROLD 6 May 1861 St Luke Church [Adelaide]

Am wondering if Martha may have died during childbirth if she had a son died in Nov 1860??
Thanks for all the help....fascinating!!!!

Hi Kris,
Thanks for that.
Looking at the children there's possible gap for another one to be born in 1856 and Martha's surname was Camp so am guessing Frances is one of theirs too.
Is there a marriage or death for Frances at all?
So don't suppose there's a death for Margaret WHITTENBURY?
I'm sure you would have checked that already tho.
Thanks again there's certainly lots of gaps that have been filled in today!!!

Hi Lillygirl
Reading this thread I found fascinating.
Are you related To Benjamin?
I am bored so started doing other Whittenbury trees so one day I will find the link in about 1760-1790. They all seem to block that date.
Another reason I am interested in Benjamin is in the 1840s they lived in Lee in Lewisham where 3 more of their babies are buried, my line lived in Lewisham the same time. :)

Hi Den,
This is sure a blast from the past! Would you believe I was at state records office back in 2009 and overheard someone mention researching the name Whittenbury. I'd been talking to a friend the day before who had been researching that surname so of course introduced myself and got chatting! Turns out they were from interstate and couldn't believe the connection! I connected them to my friend and they shared lots of info.
So no I'm not related was just helping out at the time.
Happy to put you in touch with my friend who has Whittenbury relations/research etc. in South Australia tho if you think there may be a connection?
Kind regards,
from Adelaide, South Australia
