SHUMACK/SHOEMARK in Martock
« on: Thursday 12 May 11 06:26 BST (UK) »
My ancestor Elizabeth Schumack's obituary in 1893 says she was a native of Martock, England, and was of a long-lived family. Her father died at the age of 87, her mother 98, her brother (accidentally killed) 72, her sister 68, making their united ages 412 years. So she died at 87 - born circa 1805.
She emigrated to Van Diemen's Land [now Tasmania] with Captain Langdon of Montacute 55 years before her death [c1837].
I am hoping to find out more about her family in Martock.
