Australia / Re: Dr. George Edmond Farncomb HATCH
« on: Wednesday 05 September 12 23:03 BST (UK) »
Hi Cando. Yes I have seen the Probate Grant. It was less than 600 British Pounds. I don't remember if I have read the transcribed report from the Old Mersey Times though. I have seen numerous newspaper reports on the shipwreck and barryd, it was in one of these reportings that I saw that Dr. George was buried in the Church grounds near where the wreck occurred. His body was identified by one or more of the survivors and I also know that Martha was in dire financial difficulties for some time until his Will was settled. I would still like to obtain a copy of the tribute to Dr. George that was delivered a couple of years ago, though.
Peter.

Cando.
As I said in one of the earlier postings to "barryd" there was still plenty more to Dr. George and his Family that I did know of and although I didn't say exactly what it was, the Will for him and the Will for his wife Martha were known to me. I do sincerely thank you, though and am sorry that I wasn't more specific, but in trying to keep my messages as brief as possible, I guess sometimes it doesn't help.

Hi barryd, Yes, they did find his body and they buried him, and others from the disaster, in a cemetery near where the ship went down, but for some reason a Death Certificate was never issued. All that you have posted is correct but of course there is plenty more, eg Wills etc.
Thanks for your interest, though.

Once again everyone, thank you for your valuable help, some of which I had, some I didn't but it just goes to help me compile more of the Family story.
Thanks.
Peter
Thanks.

Thanks Cando.
I did have a look at the summary and a lot what was on there, I did have. It was quite some time that I made the request and the person who I made the request to said that she didn't have the tribute but would contact the necessary organisation and ask them to get in touch with me but that never happened. I have been away for a while and am just getting started again and I have lost my original contact, so I am starting from scratch once mere.

Australia / Dr. George Edmond Farncomb HATCH

I came across information that a year or so ago a Victorian Medical Association wrote a tribute to Dr. HATCH for his work as a "ships surgeon" during the mid 1800's. He was the husband of my great grand aunt, Martha (COLLINS) but, unfortunately, he perished on his last voyage back to the UK from Melbourne, when his ship, the "Royal Charter", was wrecked on rocks off the coast of Wales, in 1859. I have tried to obtain a copy of the tribute from the Victorian Medical group but to no avail, they just haven't replied to my email's. I would very much appreciate it if anyone might be able to help me get a copy of the tribute.
Thank you

A big thank you to everyone who assisted me with my search, I'll try to see if any of it is relative to my Family History.
