William Tasker & Mary Ann Kennedy

[Freya Ellingsen]

Yes I did look briefly at convict records, but wasn't sure but if the dates tally I'm a happy girl
So the William Tasker I'm looking for must of marry again when he arrived in Victoria as here is his marriage? Any ideas?

I would not yet assume the convict is your man who married KENNEDY.
The marriage certificate uniting the two, will have more details.

Meantime, really grasping at a straw 

A possible for the marriage of the parents of convict William TASKER.
We know his father was William and his mother Mary...
William TASKER
Marriage Date 26 May 1801
Marriage Place Saint Stephen,Norwich,Norfolk,England
Spouse Mary EDRIDGE
FHL Film Number 0993969, 0993970

Does EDRIDGE sound enough like 'Hateridge'
Common to see mother's maiden name as a given name in offspring.
Don't know!

That's interesting, as I have been searching for 'Hateridge' and have found nothing other then his birth. Then I found a VIC birth to a 'Gutheredge' Joseph TASKER and Mary Ann SAMPSON. This is the only reference to the couple I can find.

Then on Trove I found references to Tasker Sampson's in TAS.

There is also a burial for a George Utterage Tasker at Karrakatta and the age fits with the Hateridge birth in 1867.

I can only see this which is a death. So hard to connect.

For interest

In 1841 William and Mary TASKER, the probable parents of the convict live in Baldock Hertfordshire and he is an ag lab

Of significance, they have a son named Eddridge (sic).

So it begins to look like it was indeed the  TASKER/EDRIDGE marriage who became the parents of the convict William TASKER.

ADDING
Eddridge and Utteridge (Per the West Australian burial cited by Jamjar)
Quite similar

Thanks for your research I will keep that in mind about Hateriage Tasker, Yes will get marriage cert of William Tasker and Mary Ann Kennedy

[Freya Ellingsen]

Yes Thank You very much

[sparrett]

Good.
Very interested to hear the information contained.

By the time of Edridge's marriage his name was .

Marriages Sep 1845   

PEEL  Ann       
TASKER Edridge Wires    
Hitchin  6/ 715

Wires would be a misspelling of the name WHYERS which, as a middle-name, was shared by convict William TASKER, and other siblings of the family too.

I think I've worked this one out. There are Thomas TASKER and Isabella GUTHERIDGE having children in VIC in the 1860s.
