Mary Louisa Wells, born Point Nepean 1842?
« on: Tuesday 09 July 13 06:52 BST (UK) »
I have a lot of information on this family. Most is taken from other sources.
The fisrt Mary Louisa was said to have died on the Androamche in 1841
Parents Henry Cadby Wells & Martha Cadby
I find it hard to believe that they have another daughter so close to the birth & death of the first

Information on the net states Mary Louisa was born on board ship in 1839 and died soon after.  Henry Cadby WELLS wife was Hannah HILL.  You are confusing the WELLS generations.

Marriages Sep 1839 
HILL    Hannah    Bath    11/44   
WELLS Henry     Bath 11/44

The ANDROAMCHE arrived in June 1840 not 1841.

Elizabeth JANSON has done an enormous amount of research on the pioneers of what became the Colony of Victoria.  Lovely lady :)

I helped someone with research about families on this ship a few years ago.

Have a look on familysearch.org as the baptism may have been transcribed.

Henry Cadby Wells married Hanna Hill 9 September 1839. In December 1839 they boarded the ship Adromache in Plymouth and sailed to Port Philip Bay. Onboard Mary was born and was nicknamed Polly by the captain. Polly died and was buried at sea. The ship arrived in June 1840.

Henry and Hannah went to Point Nepean where Mary Louise Wells, also nicknamed Polly, was born 7 June 1841 in Sorrento and Baptised in the Church of England, Parish of St. James on 10 October 1841.

The dates and Henry's wife don't seem to add  up. I am pretty sure that Henry Cadby Well's father and mother were Henry & Martha

I should have checked further....not like me at all :-[ :-[

They married 9 Sep 1839 and they sailed from London on 28 Feb 1840.  So the child was born at sea in 1840 not 1839, and according to a family story, near the Isle of St Paul in the ?Indian Ocean
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%8Ele_Saint-Paul  Possibly a premature birth.
