Hi Colin
I am researching the Woodford family from Somerset. I believe Hannah born 1820 arrived on the James Pattison in 1838[also listed as arriving on the Fairlie] Her siblings and parents arrived also . Was your Francis chr 30 April 1810 Taunton?
Regards
Marlene

Hi Marlene

Many thanks for your enquiry which I received a few hours ago. I have been checking my old files and can confirm the following from my research.

Hannah Woodford was born in Taunton, Somerset on 6 Jan 1820 and christened at Paul Street Independant Church, Taunton on 26 July 1820. Parents were Alexander Woodford (b.Wellington, Som 1780; d.1858 NSW Aus.) and Hannah Phippen (b. Taunton 1783; d. 1860 NSW). She was one of six children.

Her brother Francis Woodford (b. 20 Feb 1810 Taunton; m 22 Aug 1830 Taunton; d.12 Oct 1890 NSW, Aus) married my GGGgrandfather's eldest child Elizabeth Perkins (b. 16 Feb 1813 Taunton; d. 12 Jun 1894 NSW)

They sailed from Plymouth, Devon on 28 Aug 1838 and arrived NSW, Aus on 11 Dec 1838 on the 8th voyage of the 'James Pattison'. The ship was built in London in 1828, and sank in the Atlantic in 1840.

Francis and Elizabeth took their four UK born children with them, and were also accompanied by brother William Woodford (1814-1888) and sister Hannah (1820- ?). After arrival in NSW they had six more children.

Alexander and Hannah did not sail with the party in 1838, but sailed out later.

I hope this helps you - please feel free to contact me again.

Kind Regards

Eliza Annie Jarman Woodford supposedly born c 1852 Sydney died as Robinson 20 July 1895 [F] George Woodford [M]Hannah JARMAN- could find nothing on her parents.My interest is in the children of Eliza Annie and husband William Johnston Robinson. I realize postings on Family Search may not be correct.
