Lookup Richard Filgate South Australia

[CHERAN]

I am looking for any information re

FILGATE, Richard

I have found a  FILGATE R arrived in SA 1850-02-13 aboard Brothers from London 1849-10-14 via Plymouth which may him and that he worked for HM Customs

I think he is born about 1807 in England working from his age at his death 4th December 1872 at 65

his wife is Mary Jane Birch and it looks like they married abt 1849 in England??

would BISA have any more details re their parents etc.

Thankyou

Hi Cheran,

Looks like your Mr R. Filgate was appointed to the SA Customs Department in 1853 effective 1st March 1853.

South Australian Government Gazette, February 24th 1853, page 136.

Mr Richard Filgate to be a weigher, vice, Wilson promoted.

There are a few mentions about him on Trove if you haven't seen them already (just enter his name in the search box) including his arrival with wife in Feb 1850.

I don't have an Ancestry sub at the moment, but I see there is a record of the marriage banns which lists his father as Alexander Filgate and her father as Charles Birch.
