Richard HOWLING and Sarah EMMERSON

Thank you Cando.  

And I did look at both the links you sent - the cemetery one and the one from my remote cousin whose post was what I had accessed by googling Richard's name - and why I am now here, getting all this wonderful information from you kind people!

cheers

And thank you too, Sue!  I shall persevere with searching out what I can.  It is a bit of a mystery about Richard; he obviously came earlier that Sarah and the children.

Richard's son William (b1841) is my direct ancestor.  is missing from the 1861 census - as are they all, as far as I can tell.  So I was thinking that maybe he came out with the family and then returned to UK.  He is on the 1871 census, back in London, and is married to Emma Wellington, my great great grandmother.

William died in 1920 in London - a good long life - having carried on the Howling family business of builder/decorator/plumber.

But I am so happy to now know why my direct ancestors Richard and Sarah disappeared from the UK records!

I found a reference to a  HOWLING departing Sydney for Melbourne on the JAMES GIBSON in Feb 1852 but cannot locate the ship's arrival in Melbourne.  The ship may been a coastal trader.  I spent quite some time searching the SHIPPING ARRIVALS in the Argus newspaper.
 
There is also an advertisement in the MISSING FRIENDS column of the Argus. 
HOWLING Richard   4 Dec 1854.

If this should meet the eye of Richard Howling of Polar, he will hear something his advantage by writing to William Spinkle, on board the ship Blackwell.

Angela,

From a record called "Tasmania Reports of Crime" 1870.

Page 182 November 4th 1870 there is a paragraph that discusses a lost or stolen leather pocket-book belonging to a Mr Robert Carter and part of its contents was a letter from a Mr Richard Howling of Ballarat,

The only relevany point here is that Richard could have still been in Ballarat up until 1870 depending on how old the letter was!

This is him for sure!  It is mistranscribed as "Polar" - it was actually "Poplar", which is in the East End of London - this where the Howlings came from.

This is fantastic news because it means that he came out to Oz a lot earlier than Sarah and the children.  In the 1851 census he is in Poplar - and three years later he is in VIC!

Thank you so much for your efforts Cando.
