Ellen S BOUGHTON and George PEACOCK

[haney]

Hi Everyone
    I am trying to find more information on the above couple who were married in 1850 at The Parish Church St. George Middlesex (hope that is correct).  Ellen is the daughter of Elijah BOUGHTON who was a Cutler.  (Sister in Law to the George SMITH I received help with).

   From research yesterday this couple seem to have had a daughter by the name of HAPPY Honor PEACOCK 1854-1839 (aka Appie Peacook etc).

Happy was supposed to have been born in Bendigo/Kangaroo Flat in Victoria (Australia) on FEB, 11 1854 I am trying to follow up on that now BUT there is nothing on the Victorian BDM to suggest any births to Ellen and George PEACOCK in Victoria, no deaths of Ellen or George either.

  Happy was married in 1875 to Amanti CODIGA (CODRIGA) in Victoria.  I don't have that marriage certificate as yet!  I was hoping that some of the other researchers from the trees I saw may have put the marriage certificate in their Gallery/Documents ! 

So I am trying to find out if Ellen S. and George PEACOCK actually came to Australia, I could not find any evidence of that so far.  This is a strange one.  LOL.  Thanks for any help.  Kind regards Dianna

Yes that is a strange one!  No Happy Peacocks on Free BMD index. 

I wonder if her parents were a different George & Ellen    although the couple that married in 1850 do seem to disappear after that.

Death for Appie names her father as George Walter Peacock so a middle name to go on there.

There's an Ellen Sarah Peacock marrying in Victoria 1854 to John Wells.  And a daughter Mary born.

There was a George Peacock death in London 1853 age 25.

So speculating he died and she came out to Australia and remarried?  Maybe Appie was born en route!

Hi Milliepede
    Thank you for that information.  Let me follow up on that!  I did notice an Ellen BOUGHTON on the immigration records, could have been using her single name!  I will check now on the Vic BDM.  Could lead somewhere.  Kindest regards Dianna

After some digging around today, these are "possible" if George PEACOCK died OR Ellen Sarah left him???  I'm surprised they are not on the 1851 Census though.  Will see what else turns up.

 I have found the marriage record in Victoria for  ELLEN SARAH PEACOCK marrying  JOHN WELLS in Victoria in 1854!
 
Did Happy Honor have any siblings? Possibly these two Wells children!
 
1857 MARY WELLS born  In Sandhurst Mother ELLEN SARAH PEACOCK Father JOHN. 
 
1864 Mary WELLS died aged 6 in Sandhurst Mother  ELLEN BOWDEN Father JOHN.   
 
1859 JOHN HENRY WELLS born MOTHER ELLEN SARAH BOWDEN Father John WELLS.  Looks like place of birth is Charcoal on Vic BDM
 
1899 JOHN WELLS dies in K FLAT aged 40 Mothers maiden name BOUGHTON. 
 
That is as far as I have been able to get.  The only thing I guess I can do is perhaps purchase the birth certificate of Mary Well 1857, that may have Happy on there?  Or some other details on Ellen Sarah BOUGHTON/PEACOCK/WELLS.  I have not found a death for Ellen as yet!
 
There is possibly a death for JOHN WELLS in Gulgong NSW.  Without some certificates I won’t be able to link it all up though.  Will just have to wait and see if perhaps other researchers have the relevant certificates OR some other information can be located. 
 
No death found in Victoria for Ellen S. WELLS (or variant spellings).  Nothing so far in Trove in family notices.  Kindest regards Dianna

Yes of course the 1851 census, I neglected to search on that but will do so. 

Does it say she was a widow when she married John Wells or is that information not given?
(not familiar with Australian records)

There's a Sarah Ellen Wells death in 1885 Ballina NSW.

Could take a chance on the death for George Peacock to see if occupation matches - although I can't read it clearly on the marriage - and if Ellen was the informant.

Will look some more first.

Ellen S Broughton age 26 arrived Port Phillip Bay Australia 5 Jul 1850.

Hard to read but ship name Culloden and it looks like she was from Islington. 

Found a George Peacock engine driver in Battersea 1851 age 23 so he is likely the one that died in 1853.

Described as nephew and there is a Sarah Peacock 20 described a niece.
