Just trying to find a few details about an ancestor called Ezekial SCATTERGOOD who emigrated from UK to Australia in 1922. I've found the details of his trip, he travelled on the Diogenes from London to Sydney with his sister Nellie Stenson. Ezekial was 17 at the time. I've noticed some references on Ancestry.com.au to the name to suggest that he lived in Australia until the 1980s but i don't have a subscription to the site. i wonder if anyone is able to fill in any details about his life there, ie Marriage, children, death, where he lived or what he did. I'm hoping he had a big family and that there is a big clan of Scattergoods over there now :P
Many Thanks
Paul Scattergood

Hi
I can see a 1935 marriage between and Ezekiel SCATTERGOOD and a Rita Florence GAMBLE in Culcairn NSW. This couple are on the Electoral Rolls together until 1980 in Culcairn.
Have you explored the Trove website with old Australian Newspapers? You can find it at
trove.nla.gov.au
There may be some reference to this family there.
Cheers

Hi Paul. Your Ezekiel, married my Rita Florence Gamble #18442 1935 Culcairn N.S.W. I'm hoping to meet with her direct family over easter, so i will get more information then, will get back to you without fail, sorry for the delay though. Cheers Jenny

hello Jenny
i really should have followed up on this post earlier (can't believe it is well over a year ago). So just to bring you up to date:
a member sent me a private message after these conversations and supplied me with an address of Scattergoods living in the correct area and who seemed to be almost certainly related. I took a punt and wrote to them.
I received a lovely letter back and it turned out that the family was indeed descended from Ezekial. They kindly supplied some photos and other information about the family. Unfortunately i haven't been in contact for a while, so your post has kindly prompted me to do so.
So, do you know the family, Jenny?
Kind Regards, Paul

Hi Paul. No haven't met anyone direct of Rita, but have spoken to 2 people over the phone, 1 in N.S.W. the other in Tasmania, and am working at getting information to Jill in Tassie, funnily enough, we don't know of each other, but are directly related, (family dispute way back then seemed to have broke us), and am high hoping to meet Pat over Easter holiday in N.S.W. Would there by chance be a possibility of you sending what information you might have, via email, and any scanned copies of photos, i have nothing, and would love to see some of my distant relatives, What little information i have of my tree, i would happily send to you, if you need/want... Sorry for delay,
Kind regards, Jen

Cheers, Paul

cheers, Paul
-
Thank you, that's fine, and please don't go out of your way, anytime will do, i really appreciate this, able to put faces to names, Thanks Paul..

Hi I am interested in Ezekiel Scattergood and his descendants. I believe a Richard Scattergood and Jeanette fits into my tree.
If they had a child Catherine.
For reasons I can explain later there is a huge gap in knowledge of the family, only a certainty that Ezekiel and Flora Scattergood are part of it.
Thanks

Hi I have just joined the roots chat forum. I too are interested in tht Scattergood family. I have big gap between present day and Ezekiel Scattergood who married Flora Gamble.
I think that Richard Clemence Scattergood and Jeanette play apart in my family especially if they had a daughter Catherine.
For reasons I can explain later there is gap in my knowledge. I saw the photo that was sent to you and was interested to see any family resemblance.
Can you help me a bit?
thanks
Christine

One more question. How many red heads are there in the Scattergood family or is that a Gamble trait?
