Sophia Janetta Anderson born 1847
« on: Sunday 29 January 23 12:26 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find information on Sophia Janetta Anderson b 1847  to Jemima  (nee)Fowler  and William Henry Anderson. She was listed on the 1851 census as a 3 year old living at 5 Aberdeen Place Marylebone and in 1861 she is listed as a 13 year old  scholar, visitor at the residence of James and Annie Postlewaite (sp?) and large family, still in Marylebone.  I have information that her mother Jemima - (daughter of James Fowler and Sophia Wood) died in 1859 .We have lost track of her after this as by the next census she had probably married. No Marriage or death certs have been located as yet. There is a lot of information re some of Jemima's, Fowler family, however not a lot about her. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
 Thank you
Jillian  (Brisbane Aust)

Perthshire Advertiser, 24 Aug 1844
MARRIAGES
At Radderty House, Ross-shire, on the 14th current, William Henry Anderson, Esq, London to Miss Jemima Fowler, daughter of the late James Fowler, of Radderty.

Note - the newspapers refer to "Radderty" but checking old maps it would appear to be "Raddery". Also the 1841 Census has "Raddery".

Thank you every one for your responses so far.
 We have  William Henry Anderson's family history once he married his second wife  Mary Ann Wood Whitehead in 1862, in Sydney. William Henry was my great, great grandfather through his daughter Emily Augusta Wood Anderson (b.26/11/56 d.1928). William Henry Anderson arrived in Sydney on the 'Cyclone' 15/5/1854 as the only passenger. Though listed as a Sea Captain,  a newspaper report  (1853) has him as a 'supercargo'. Why he came to Australia is unknown. Did he just not return to London after delivering his shipment?  William Henry Anderson did not marry  Mary Ann Wood Whitehead until 1862. Somewhere in my searching (can't find the reference at the moment)  I recorded that Jemima Anderson died in 1859. Can anyone confirm this?
I am still searching for any records of Sophia Anderson (Fowler) b. 1847 after the 1861 census. The closest I've come to a marriage, that would fit the timeline in anyway, is a marriage to Alexander Ridell in 1861 but have not found proof that this is correct.
The census record for 1871 Cranes Cottage could not be our William as, by this time he was living in Sydney. The  'Anderson Family Tree'  has been researched and can be followed from 1597. As with many families it becomes rather complex and confusing with all the names being repeated. There are still some gaps to be filled and the Jemima Fowler union is one that I would really like to solve. Along with the allusive Crawford Allen b. 9/5/1855 at Caramana, County Galway, Ireland.
Thank you once again l your help so far in my search.
Jillian.  (Brisbane, Aust)

"Though listed as a Sea Captain,  a newspaper report  (1853) has him as a 'supercargo'"

Can you identify where you see him listed as sea captain, and also the 1853 newspaper item.

Father of Sophia, baptised 1848, is a gentleman on Ancestry BDM London website.

William Henry ANDERSON, died 1873, Sydney, has death notice but no mention of occupation.


Can you please list all the information on the marriage certificate, 1862, Sydney,

and....the death certificate, 1873, Sydney.
