GARDAM Robert - KING Maud Tasmania Marriage look up

The ship sailed from England and ages on shipping records are not always reliable.  Her occupation was domestic.  Port B indicates the ship left a British Port. 

Both Ada's and Maud's death certificates should give you a better idea of when they arrived ie if the informant knew.

These were the other names of children I had been given in ancestry born to Maud and Robert through a Gardam family tree.... Im thinking there may have been another wife earlier in Tassie...

Beryl
Betty
Joan Dorothy
JohnRobert
Maxwell John

Robert was in his 30's when he married Maud so these ones could easily have been to someone else. What do you think ladies and gents?

Thomas H King served in the British Army in India mainly the Bengal area. He was a widower when he married Ada and his fathers name on the Cert was Thomas King. I presumed he came from England. He is mentioned in Thacker's Indian Directory from 1892 last mention 1900. He was in the Commissariat Department Served up to Captain then Superintendent in 1900.  Ada was born in india they married 7th May 1883. Ada was 16 when she married.

May need to look up those other names in Fibis now to see wherther they are his children to his first marriage..maybe they all came to Australia together... though Ada is not mentioned in 1908. Exciting hey...

I have given you four births to Robert and Maud - Quentin, Winifred, Evelyn and Ruth...and the newspaper snippet indicates that the first three are in the same order - did you search for the death notice....url in an earlier post.  I very much doubt there was an earlier marriage.  The other children were obviously born post 1920.

GARDAM.-On November 10. at Dandenong, Robert John, the dearlv beloved husband of Maude Gardam. of Peel street, Berwick, and loving father of Quentin, Winifred (Mrs. Gardam), Evelyn (Mrs. Meiers), Betty (Mrs. McQuire). Ruth (Mrs. Macdonald), Beryl (d'ceased) Joan (Mrs. Robson). John, and Max, aged. 72 years.

-In God's care.

The birth index in Victoria only extends to 1920 and in Tasmania 1919.

May need to look up those other names in Fibis

From the limited research I have done in India, I understand it was not compulsory to register events.  I think most of the birth records are actually baptisms.  I have found some baptisms on Fibis and other children of the same family who were baptised did not have their records transcribed for some reason.

If Thomas H was born in England perhaps you do have a search to see if you could find him on a census.
