William Jose Born 1827 Cornwall England

[Regy53]

I am searching for information on my great, great grandfather William Jose.
He was born in 1827 Cornwall England.
He was married in 1853 to Sophia Thomas inSt Austell Cornwall.
They had two sons John born 1855 and William Thomas born 1857.
They migrated to Adelaide South Australia in 1857 and first settled at Kapunda South Australia.
Sophia died in 1860.
I am trying to find out when and where William died if there is anybody out there that can assist me ?

Welcome to Rootschat.

A possible funeral notice, first column:

http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article208969529

Two possibilities:

1865   21/107 JOSE William Kapunda
1907   328/161 JOSE William Adelaide

This has the correct birth year connection:

St Judes Anglican Church Cemetery (Brighton) JOSE William 80y 1907

Just had a look at Cemetery register http://www.light.sa.gov.au
and there a few members of the Jose family buried at Kapunda Cemetery, including Sophia, and William

What ship did they arrive on?

"... first settled at Kapunda South Australia."
And then moved to ....where.....when?

Did William JOSE and Sophia THOMAS have any children in SA?

Did widowed William have a second marriage....where / when / who?

You are descended from......John born 1855?.......William Thomas born 1857?.

Can you please give all the information you have about this family.

This obituary of the Wm JOSE who died in 1907 in his 80th year states he was indeed born in Cornwall and arrived in SA in 1848. He left a widow, six sons and four daughters.
https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/88430262

His death notice states his wife was Mary Jane:
https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/57362771

She died in 1910:
https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/207204927

This is most likely Mary Jane CHIVELL who married Wm JOSE in SA in 1856 (reg 26/18).

Possible arrival?
JOSE William, Mary TIPPATT, son (d@sea) arrived 1848-12-05 on Baboo from London 48-08-24 via Plymouth
Also mentioned in the newspaper under Baboo arrivals: https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/48726486

But if so, what happened to first wife Mary?

The other Wm, of Kapunda, possibly married in 1861 to Mary McINERNEY and died aged 27 in 1865 (b. c1838). Possible death notice for Mary in 1908 - https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/208916571

Sophia is possibly the first wife of young William, as she died in 1860.

I feel this younger William in Kapunda is not your gg grandfather? He is too young to have married in 1853.

Great find, Cass!

This shows that buried with William at Kapunda is a 5 month old infant named Richard.

SA BDM shows a birth of Richard JOSE in 1865 to William and Mary Ann (nee JENKINS) in Kapunda - and a death of Richard JOSE in Kapunda in 1865, son of Richard and Mary Ann...so error for father's name.

Both Richard and William show their last place of residence as Victoria 

Sophia JOSE (d. 1860) is buried in another part of the cemetery. Very nearby is an infant Sophie JOSE and a boy named John Thomas JOSE who died aged 6 - is this the John b. 1855? No death record found for either of them.
