GUEST, Charles

[fmlindsay]

Looking for descendants of Charles Guest and Maria Turner. He was born about 1823 in Gresford, Cheshire (1851 census), married Maria Turner (b1826 Birmingham, Warwickshire) Jan 1844 in West Bromwich, Staffordshire. Children - John Guest b1845, Wolverton, Ellen Guest b1849 Northampton, Charles Powell Guest b1851 Northampton, Margret Guest b1854, Birmingham, Mary Anne Guest b 1856 Birmingham, William George Guest b1866, Sydney,New South Wales. The family emigrated to Australia in 1861 arriving in Melbourne Oct 1861 aboard the Elizabeth Ann Bright. Then moved to Sydney arriving Feb 1862 aboard the Montezuma.
William George Guest is my great grandfather but I would like to find out about the rest of the family. Have only found a Charles Powell Guest who married Susan Rebecca Meadley in 1873 but I am not sure if he is the right one as there are a couple with the same name.
I would appreciate any information about this family, either in Australia or the UK.

William George Guest is my great grandfather

Can you tell us a little more about your G Grandfather? His marriage and his death? Just sometimes tracking a sibling can help find the others.

John Guest supposedly died in 1918 in Geelong VIC. He is buried with his wife Martha who died in 1908.

Of course this will have to be verified but i dont have access to the VIC bmd.

According to a tree William George Guest married a Emily Mallan ...I have found some of these births that might be related
Una Grace Guest b 1887 Richmond Victoria
Ruby Estella Guest b 1893 Collingwood Victoria
Rita Lillian Guest b 1898 Collingwood Victoria
These children all have father listed as William Geo Guest / Emily Mallan

This could be more only the mother's name is Emily Hallan father William Geo Guest
Alma Florence Guest b 1890 Richmond Victoria
Gladys Olive Guest b 1896 Collingwood Victoria

Thank you for those replies. My great grandfather, William George Guest married Emily Frances Mallan in 1886 in Richmond, Victoria. They had 8 children, Una Grace b1887 in Richmond, Emilie Eileen 1888-1947 (my grandmother) m Frederick Page, Alma Florence 1890-1964 m Albert Buckley, Ruby Estella 1893-1968 m Arthur Fleming, Gladys Olive 1896-1993 m Thomas Armstrong, Rita Lillian b1898, William George Howard 1900-1976 m Sarah Healy, Clarence Vernon, b1906 m Nita Ann Key. All the children were born in Richmond, Collingwood and North Fitzroy. According to the electoral rolls they lived in North Fitzroy and William George Guest was a confectioner and then a fireman.
I am interested in finding where William's siblings went in Australia - there are a couple by the name of  Charles Powell Guest and I'm not sure whether either is a brother.

Victoria  unassisted arrivals  Nov 1861   ship     Elizabeth A Bright
Carly Powell    10
Ellen Maria  12
John          15
Margaret     8
Mary Ann   6
Maria          34             

I am not seeing father Charles GUEST on the passenger list. Did he travel ahead of them?

Do you have  certificate for GUEST - MALLAN marriage.....might find a family member as witness?


If the ship arr. Melbourne Nov 1861, this family should  be in England for 1861 census in April?

Charles Guest may have travelled earlier to Australia. He is not listed in the 1861 UK census - Maria Guest is the Head of the house. However he is listed on Victorian Outward passenger list with the rest of the family going from Melbourne to Sydney in 1862 on the Montezuma.

Without the marriage certificate or death certificate of Charles Powell GUEST, you cannot be certain he is the brother of your great  Grandfather William George GUEST.

This would seem to be his death.

However regarding the confusion of more than one Charles Powell Guest.

This man is possibly the immigrant Charles GUEST, husband of Maria nee TURNER.
You have not mentioned whether or not his middle name was also Powell.
