I now have viewed the birth 10/02/1825 , marriage, and death certificate 1900 of the single female BRIDGET FLOOD arrived Sydney 5 October 1840 on "ELPHISTONE" as a BOUNTY IMIGRANT and married George Whitacker at Maitland in 1843.
Her father was listed as Thomas Flood Monasterevin district Kildare.
There is no evidence I can locate to suggest she could have been related to the James and Catherine Flood family that settled for the next 100 plus years around Carcoar but as she went towards the Hunter region Maitland and not west across the Great Divide with the James and Catherine Flood family and Thomas Flood snr I suspect that this Bridget might have only had the FLOOD name in common with the two brothers JAMES and THOMAS snr.
There was on the same ship a girl Bridget aged 6 daughter of James and Catherine who went on to marry Royal ATKINS at Carcoar in 1856 and there died in 1868.
see my previous posting of CARCOAR BURIALS.
What interests me is that THOMAS and WILLIAM get a mention but not JOHN or other brothers born after they arrived at CARCOAR like JAMES, PATRICK, or nothing other than birth of CHRISTOPHER.
Such is the complex interactions of siblings? even in the late 1800s.
I am still attempting to locate the death and burial place of JAMES FLOOD husband of CATHERINE.
Can anyoe with an interest in FLOOD FAMILY HISTORY assist?
