Bloomin' family did a disappearing act!!!! New eyes needed!

Ah yes - the Argus, my relative from Aus sent that one to me.

There are a load of these 'departure' adverts in the Times around this time too.

Hello,

I came across your post with great interest.  Rochford Augustus Nassau was my great great grandfather.
I will need to check against my research at home but here is what I know:

Mary Elizabeth married John Augustus Nassau.  At that time her name was Austin nee Chamberlin - I'm pretty sure I have the marriage certificate - which suggests she was widowed twice.  John was indeed decended from the Earls of Rochford.

Their son was Rochford Augustus Nassau who married Jessie Warren.  They had several children, two of whom died at a very early age - Nellie Thirza and Lotta May.  It's interesting that the name was taken through onto this side of the family.

I have found these records in Great Bentley Parish Register,

parents Edward & Mary (Carpenter)

No other baptisms listed for Edward  & Mary at Gt Bentley,  Gt Bromley,  Little Bentley or Little Bromley.

There is a marriage entry for Gt Bentley ....

11 December 1837
Edward Osten of full age .. Bachelor Carpenter of Great Bentley
father John Osten (Carpenter)

Mary Chamberlain a minor spinster Servant of Gt Bentley
father William Chamberlain (labourer) 
Marriage by banns

Hope this helps with your puzzle

I also came across with great interest! Mary Elizabeth is my GGGrandfather's (Percy Edward Austin Chamberlain) aunt and was named after Mary's first husband Edward Austin. Until now we knew very little about her and these marraiges. I would be interested to know how large a  posterity came through from the Nassau side.
