J CHAPMAN, Toryburn
R CHAPMAN, Toryburn

G CHAPMAN, Waterloo


Do you have a copy of the 1859 marriage for Phobe CHAPMAN and William BENTLEY, (NSW BDM #3109)

If Phoebe was not  yet 21, then it should give the name of the person to gave consent to a minor’s marriage, this information was usually recorded in the ‘white space’ section of the document, near to where it shows “according to the” (rites of the denomination).

As it was a rural marriage, it is likely that the NSW BDM received only a summary of the registration, and so it is likely that the NSW BDM copy has not listed the parents for either the bride or the groom, or their Dad’s occupations, or their own places of birth, or their own ages.    However, these vital family history clues can usually be found as the clergy were required to record them.   These details are usually recorded on the original registers, which (being rural) have not been reconciled to the NSW BDM register.

NSW BDM birth registrations also required the informant to state the places of birth for each of the parents, their then ages, and where and when married.  So perhaps there’s some clues re Phoebe’s origins on one or more of the civil registrations for the couple’s children.   

Well found Sue  :)

Cheers,  JM

Hi David,

Looks like Sue has found some answers for you regarding Phoebe. You are right that there were very few women in the New England in the early days, particularly the 1840-60s.  The Railway came in 1883 which opened things up more.   

There are quite a few Chapmans around the area, my surname is Chapman however my husband's family were from the Hunter.  I have knowledge of Chapmans in the Inverell and Moonbi areas particularly. The Moonbi school had an exhibition with photos of some and the Inverell Pioneers village also have pics of Chapmans on display.  So many relatives around the New England for yourself.

PS my index of Aboriginal identities is now up to 470 and I still have some more finds to list. www.armidalehistory.com

Thanks all for these very quick and generous responses. I am now more intrigued than ever and will have to look into this further.
