James Charles PARTRIDGE of Bedford
« on: Thursday 22 October 09 19:33 UTC (UK) »

James Charles Partridge born 1835 Bedfordshire, Eng – came out to Australia around 1850 -1853, don’t know where he landed but (according to a member's submission on the IGI) married Mary Ann Hatfield 20 March 1854 Caledonian Church, Inverbrackie, S.A . Aust. – He died in Broken Hill New South Wales, Aust on 2 June 1919.

Can anyone find me shippimg list records as to when/where  he actually arrived, or confirm his marriage - and would that tell me his father ? Trying to find him in UK prior to his emigration.

regards John Partridge, Bedford

Hi John,

Sorry fathers not listed.

PARTRIDGE James 19 status and father not recorded = HATFIELD Mary Ann 17 status father not recorded 20 Mar 1854 Caledonian Church Inverbrackie Dist Ade 18 82

James may have arrived in SA in aboard the CATHERINE 26 May 1851 although age does not agree. I don't see another James arriving in SA

Nothing in the BISA - clearly only listed through the immigration record.

PARTRIDGE James born b about 1831 Bedfordshire arrived 1851 aboard the CATHERINE 0ccupation Labourer

I would have suggested NSW death certificates as they are a wonderful source of information but it seems the parentage was unknown to the reporter if this is him......mmm aged 94

PARTRIDGE James died 1919 Broken Hill aged 94 years

He is buried in the Broken Hill cemetery in  the Catholic section.

You may find further information for this James Patterson from an obituary in the local paper.

thanks for looking Judith...

so it seems James was 19 when he married in 1854 - born 1835
& was 20 when he arrived in 1851 - born 1831
& was 94 when he died in 1919 - born 1825

.............so there's a 10 year time span

on IGI there is one James Partridge christened Bedford St Cuthberts on 21 Apr 1833, parents William & Ann (but not all Beds parishes are on the IGI for this period). Will go & see if I can find him on 1841 & then 51 UK census.

Interestingly on the Catherine's manifest  there is an 18 year old James Sawford, labourer also from Bedford, I wonder if they were travelling together, & perhaps came from same area.

regards John

Hi John,

My apologies  Embarrassed Just noticed I entered Mary Ann's age at marriage as 27. She was 17.

As to the death entry for James I suspect the person did not know much about him. No parents names etc. Seems when Mary passed the informant knew her age and parents names. So they have gone from being close in age at marriage - She dies 1903 aged 67 (pretty good match) He dies 1919 aged 94 ( I don't think so) Probably a pity he did not pass before his wife - may have been more information provided. NSW Certs are often a very good source of information.

I had a bit of a look for James in Bedford the other day and didn't have any luck. Hope you have more luck than I did. I thought I had him - mother Susan which I liked as James seemed to like the name giving it to two daughters but alas the chap I had in mind was still in Bedford in 1851 so not him.

Good Luck

Bother - the other Broken Hill newspaper is not available.  I also had a look at the Adelaide Advertiser (just in case) with no luck there either.

Hello Kris,   There are 2 contacts on Genes ReUnited that descend from the same James P & Mary Ann H but have no info regarding James. One is convinced it must be the James baptised at St Cuthberts in 1833 but I don't buy that so easily.  On 1841 census there is one James Partridge aged 6 living in Holborn London with parents, all were not born in county.

I notice from Beds Archives Gaol database records that a James Sawford age 18 of Sharnbrook living in Bedford Union Workhouse, was put into the House of Correction for refusing to work in the workhouse - dated 7/1/1850
Also there is record for a John Partridge age 20 of Bedford similarly living in the Bedford Union Workhouse was put into the county gaol for also refusing to work in the workhouse - dated 15/1/1850

So is John the James I'm looking for ? I will take a visit to Beds Archives to look at the workhouse records next week to see there are more details. Do you think that at that time ne'er-do-wells were encouraged to emigrate to Australia. 

Also on the Catherine's manifest are 3 other single men from Bedford.
Stephen Croft age 22 - he's on the Gaol database in 1850 & from Great Barford
Edward Edwards age 25 - he's on Gaol database in 1848 & from Milton Ernest
James Dorrington age 18 he's not in the Gaol.

Plus a family William Moyes age 23, wife Mary 22 & son Levi age 1.  After a bit of research last night I think this is William MAYES of Knotting who married Sarah Lamb at Souldrop in 1847. William's sister Sarah married Thomas Sawford, brother of James Sawford.  Interesting link - but not for James Partridge. I have links to both Sawford & Mayes in my tree, just got to find a connection.

Regards John

Hi John

Following on from your extra info I thought I'd have an explore although you probably have all of this.

It certainly sounds as though some or all of these chaps could have met, some at the gaol or at the workhouse.  I can see possibilites in the 1841 census, for each of them (a James Dorrington indexed as Darrington and living at Roxton - 2 miles from Great Barford)  all within 10 miles of Bedford, and all around 15 years old (remembering that ages in the 1841 were rounded) and all ag labs - many of them listed at farms with no relatives, which is, I would have thought, another pointer to them being in the workhouse later.

And yes, there was plenty of encouragement for labourers etc to come to Australia.

I see a Levi Mayes reg Wellingborough June qr1849 who could be the child with William and Mary Ma(o)yes.  I see a marriage, reg Bedford for William Mayes with Mary Lamb on the same page - Dec qr 1847, which fits your information and is on IGI also at Souldrop.  (Just trying to get it in my head!)

I wonder if someone with access to BISA might be able to find some of these people which may give us more clues.

As for the John/James conundrum - it sounds plausible that it is the same chap. 

Just another possible:
1841 census shows a James Partridge BiC living at Eaton Socon listed as aged 15, ag lab, with a family surname Squire.  Eaton Socon is now in Cambs but is only 5 miles from Great Barton, and was in Beds in 1841.

Enjoy your day at the record office!
