172 "Bennets of Tresillian" by R. G. Kerswell:
There was a long-running dispute in the 1810s & 1820s between the two brothers of the Bennet family and their Receiver's Accounts i.e. of Francis Paynter, and following his death, of his son Francis Camborne Paynter, made more complicated by the fact that F.C. married one of their sisters, Elizabeth Bennet. Neither of the Paynters and their firm are thought of in a very good light.
Elizabeth and Francis brought up her two young nephews, Richard and John Bennet, when their mother Loveday died in 1821.

174 "Early History of South Geelong" Geelong Advertiser November 18, 1933:
Mr Bedggood's son, Mr C. A. Bedggood, married Miss C. Ham, and for some years after their marriage they resided in Melbourne. On returning to Geelong they built a house on the opposite side of the street to Mr Wilmot's and here they lived. (Fyans St., north side)

Minutes of Quarterly Meeting of Geelong Circuit held at Yarra St Methodist Church, Thursday 28th December 1882:
Present at this meeting were Bedggood, Warr, Ham, Walters and Hunt, circuit stewards. [this may be his father]

Charles had many occupations over the years. At one stage he ran a produce store in South Geelong - one of the first in town. He grew many of the vegetables for his own store and made regular trips to Melbourne for supplies. The story is told that he would tell his wife he was going toMelbourne for produce and he would go to the races. His wife was a very religious woman and would have frowned on such frivolities. He would also visit his uncle Daniel at the shoe factory. [Doris Makeham]

"The insolvency schedule of Charles Augustus Bedggood, produce salesman, of Belmont, was filed on Saturday before Mr M'Grath, chief clerk.Liabilities £1172 9s 6d; assets £707 14s 2d; deficiency £464 15s 4d. Causes of insolvency: depreciation in value of real estate, and adverse judgement in a County Court action brought against insolvent by the Southern Star Lodge of Oddfellows."
Charles filed for insolvency on 20th May 1899. He was living in Belmont and gave his occupation as produce salesman. His estate was placed under sequestration in the hands of Charles Jesse Mead, one of the assignees of the insolvent estates. The cause of his inability to pay his debts was"depreciation in value of real estate and adverse judgement by Trustees of Southern Star Lodge of Oddfellows." He became unable to pay his debts about May 1898.
The Insolvent Schedule lists:
£680 owing on the mortgage of the house and land in Fyans St, South Geelong to the Lodge. He was loaned £1000.
£240 owing to Alexander Webb, Belmont, on the mortgage of 2 pieces of land, one in Yarra St and the other in Fyans St. He was loaned £400.
There is a long list of smaller debts owed for produce to various suppliers.
£150 in wages owed to his son Fred Bedggood since 1896.
Charles owned household furniture to the value of £25.
The Assignee's Report, 9th January 1900:
"The assets in the estate consisted of Freehold Properties mortgaged at nearly double their value, the Mortgagees took possession and have since realized at considerable loss. Book Debts - the Insolvent had been out of business for several months and collected most of the debts of any value, after considerable trouble collected amounts shown in Statement. Household furniture mostly claimed by insolvent's wife and mother and of no value to the Estate."
The family home in Fyans St had to be sold as a result of Charles' insolvency.
Geelong Advertiser:
In August 1886, the Geelong Council were reviewing the dues that they levied on produce sold at the markets in Geelong. Charles appeared to give his opinion.
"Mr Bedggood, produce dealer of Ryrie Street, said that produce taken direct to the dealers and shops should be be free from dues. All produce taken to a market should be charged dues. The market had recently fluctuated a great deal for potatoes. Persons bringing fruit to Geelong hawked their fruit for sale, and brought the unsold balance to the produce dealers. If they abolished one set of dues, they should abolish all. If they abolished all dues and fees, the ratepayers would want to know where the revenue was to be got to keep the streets in repair."

175 "Early Pioneers of Rochester Area":
HAM BROS., Richard, Henry and William , selected separate blocks at Diggora in 1872. Ex-councillor W.S.C. Ham, M.B.E., R.P. Ham and Mrs Bodger,whostill live in the district, are children of the original settlers.

"Pioneers of the Echuca and Moama Districts, pre 1925":
The prospect in the 1870's for Richard Ham and his family of new land becoming available from the Crown, north of the Murray, was exciting. Withfivesons and three daughters, spreading out from their property "Windermere" in the Diggora district seemed the natural thing to do.
For Richard, securing the property "Altcar" north-west of Moama, was the culmination of a long journey which he had started in north Cornwall asaboy. Together with his father, Richard snr., and five older brothers (two other brothers had arrived in Australia earlier) Richard disembarkedin1852 at Port Phillip from the ship 'Bombay'. It had been a tragic journey, with his mother and young sister dying in an accident on board astheship neared the Victorian coastline.
After a period of farming with his father and brothers at Dowling Forest (where Richard snr. is buried) near Ballarat, and working on theEurekagoldfields, Richard and wife Margaret (who had been a teacher on the diggings) moved north. Other Ham families moved north also, to Lascelles(nearSwan Hill and later to Queensland) and Lockington, where Richard's brother William settled. By all accounts it was an arduous journey toDiggorawith a son Richard percy being born in the wagon on the way.
So it was that three of Richard's sons and a married daughter, Margaret (Mrs Robert Docherty) moved to the Moama - Tatiala district. George andhiswife Flora lived at "Altcar" on the corner of Thyra and Hams Roads; Edwin and his wife Jenny (Reid) took up another Crown land grant at"Glenburnie"in the Tataila parish, with Frank and his wife gertrude (Cable) on the property "Ilsley Park", nearby on the banks of the Murray River.
Richard Percy stayed in the Diggora district, eventually retiring into Rochester. Norman farmed at Bamawm and at Griffith, NSW. The othertwodaughters married in the Elmore-Rochester area. Alice became Mrs Roger Shotton and Mabel became Mrs Bill Bodger.

"Then ... the Water Wheel Turned" by Fae Stevens & Elizabeth O'Brien, 1967:
Told by Mrs Bodger, of Rochester, who was born at Pannoo-Milloo in 1886.
Her father Richard Ham and his wife and four children faced the long trek by covered waggon from Dowling Forest near Ballarat in 1874, comingthroughthe Whipstick, then almost a trackless forest. Clearing timber to start cultivation was the first task, and mother and a five months oldbaby in thepram helped each day in gathering up the lighter scrub and firing the heaps. This baby was the late Percy Ham.
The Ham families were very musical and helped form a choir.
The Ham family owned the only buggy in the district for some time and often loaned it for local weddings. A fine vineyard was planted in an acreofsandy soil and yielded grapes of fine flavour and quality. The original property still remains in the Ham family, and Mrs Bodger considers itsomeof the best wheat growing land in the district.
Ed and Cliff Ham, sons of Henry, also farmed in Pannoo-Milloo and only recently the property was sold. Cliff Ham was a councillor for 36 years andin1952 was awarded the M.B.E.
The Pannoo-Milloo post office was opened in the Ham residence in 1877 and until it closed in 1923, this office was in the hands of only twofamilies,Hams and Hanleys. Mrs Park (mother of Roy and David) herself a member of the Ham family, was in charge for many years.

179 "History of Launcells Church"

The tower of the Launcells church is 64 feet high and houses six bells that are famous for their fine tone.
These were the bells commemorated by the Rev. Robert Stephen Hawker, the Vicar of Morwenstow, the Cornish poet, in 1836.
On hearing that the Launcell's ringers had rung at the accession of George III, and the same again at his jubilee, that three of them had livedtoring in George IV and that two had survived to celebrate the coronation of William IV, he dedicated his poem to their memory.

"Parochial History of Cornwall" by David Gilbert, 1838.
Volume 4, page 18:
An instance of longevity has been given in the parish of Stratton, and an occurrence has been stated to the Editor, which proves thatLauncellsparticipates in the general healthiness of that district.
It seems the identical six men who rang the bells in Launcells tower on the Coronation of King George the Third, rang them also on the day ofhisjubilee, having continued in the parish ringers during all that time.
Their names are recorded in the parish, and may therefore be inserted here,
John Lyle, Henry Cadd, Richard Venning, John Ham, John Allin, Richard Hayman.
And of these, John Lyle rang at the accession of King George the Fourth, and of his present Majesty King William the Fourth, then being inhisninety-sixth year: but all are now gathered to their fathers.

Dates:
George III accession17606 ringers
George III jubilee1810same 6 ringers
George IV accession18203 of same ringers
William IV coronation 1830 2 surviving

John Lyle and John Ham
John Lyle baptised 1736, buried 1832 [therefore 96 in 1830]
John Ham baptised 1740, buried 1823 [therefore could have rung the bells 3 times]

Frederick Smallfield painted a famous painting called "The Ringers of Launcells Tower" in 1878 after being inspired by Hawker's poem. The paintingishoused in the Museum in Truro.

Launcells Monumental Inscription:
To the memory of JOHN LYLE of
Rhude in this parish who departed this
life January the 10th in the year of our
Lord 1832 aged 96 years.
In memory of Margery his wife who
departed this life the 24th day of
February in the year of our Lord 1791
in the 50th year of her age.
"Farewell, our children and our friends,
We bid you all adieu.
Live and love and serve the Lord
As we have done before.
Our years were many, that you see
But they did seem but short to us.
And now with Christ we hope to dwell
And now we wish all friends farewell.
They that are lofty, rich and proud
in spite of all their powers
That all their ways the Reverend heads
Must lie as low as ours."

The ministry of the Octagon Tabernacle of the Congregational Church in Penzance was continued by the Rev. Owen Morris, who married MissHarrietpaynter of Boskenna in 1798. Harriet came from a strongly Calvanistic background. Her brother and his wife, James and Betty paynter, weredeeplyinvolved in the Calvinistic movement.
At Boskenna, where the Paynters lived, a hall was made available for religious services to be held whenevr they could get a "shining light" tostayin the house. Boskenna was one of the earliest nonconformist private chapels."

185 "Pioneers of the Echuca and Moama Districts, pre 1925":
The prospect in the 1870's for Richard Ham and his family of new land becoming available from the Crown, north of the Murray, was exciting. Withfivesons and three daughters, spreading out from their property "Windermere" in the Diggora district seemed the natural thing to do.
For Richard, securing the property "Altcar" north-west of Moama, was the culmination of a long journey which he had started in north Cornwall asaboy. Together with his father, Richard snr., and five older brothers (two other brothers had arrived in Australia earlier) Richard disembarkedin1852 at Port Phillip from the ship 'Bombay'. It had been a tragic journey, with his mother and young sister dying in an accident on board astheship neared the Victorian coastline.
After a period of farming with his father and brothers at Dowling Forest (where Richard snr. is buried) near Ballarat, and working on theEurekagoldfields, Richard and wife Margaret (who had been a teacher on the diggings) moved north. Other Ham families moved north also, to Lascelles(nearSwan Hill and later to Queensland) and Lockington, where Richard's brother William settled. By all accounts it was an arduous journey toDiggorawith a son Richard percy being born in the wagon on the way.
So it was that three of Richard's sons and a married daughter, Margaret (Mrs Robert Docherty) moved to the Moama - Tatiala district. George andhiswife Flora lived at "Altcar" on the corner of Thyra and Hams Roads; Edwin and his wife Jenny (Reid) took up another Crown land grant at"Glenburnie"in the Tataila parish, with Frank and his wife gertrude (Cable) on the property "Ilsley Park", nearby on the banks of the Murray River.
Richard Percy stayed in the Diggora district, eventually retiring into Rochester. Norman farmed at Bamawm and at Griffith, NSW. The othertwodaughters married in the Elmore-Rochester area. Alice became Mrs Roger Shotton and Mabel became Mrs Bill Bodger.

186 "Then ... the Water Wheel Turned" by Fae Stevens & Elizabeth O'Brien, 1967:
Told by Mrs Bodger, of Rochester, who was born at Pannoo-Milloo in 1886.
Her father Richard Ham and his wife and four children faced the long trek by covered waggon from Dowling Forest near Ballarat in 1874, comingthroughthe Whipstick, then almost a trackless forest. Clearing timber to start cultivation was the first task, and mother and a five months oldbaby in thepram helped each day in gathering up the lighter scrub and firing the heaps. This baby was the late Percy Ham.
The Ham families were very musical and helped form a choir.
The Ham family owned the only buggy in the district for some time and often loaned it for local weddings. A fine vineyard was planted in an acreofsandy soil and yielded grapes of fine flavour and quality. The original property still remains in the Ham family, and Mrs Bodger considers itsomeof the best wheat growing land in the district.
Ed and Cliff Ham, sons of Henry, also farmed in Pannoo-Milloo and only recently the property was sold. Cliff Ham was a councillor for 36 years andin1952 was awarded the M.B.E.
The Pannoo-Milloo post office was opened in the Ham residence in 1877 and until it closed in 1923, this office was in the hands of only twofamilies,Hams and Hanleys. Mrs Park (mother of Roy and David) herself a member of the Ham family, was in charge for many years.

Of the four Griffiths daughters, Margaret, born 1859, married in 1888 Charles Pender Paynter who was a blind musician, a teacher of the pianoinEchuca. There are newspaper reports of this family living in Moama prior to his death on the 18th June 1893, where they had gone to fromBallaratfor the betterment of his health just 6 months prior. There are more newspaper reports of a local fundraising effort to raise funds for hiswidowand 2 children. The son, Leslie, died soon after aged 9 months. Margaret died at Strzelecki aged thirty seven. Their young daughter, Rita,spent alot of her time in the Foster area while she was growing up, and she eventually married William Jones, a stockman.

188 'Grunter' was well known to Denholme. Brendan & Curtis Chapman who visited their grandmother Doris's flat in Umbilo Road many times.

An affable fellow, Grunetr was apparently a professional footballer/soccerplayer goalkeeper in his younger days in Durban; often showing Denholme a large silver soccer trophy.

197 1. 1n 1844 Henry Solomon the son of Barnett Solomon died "of the prevailing fever" at Falmouth,Jamaica while staying with his cousin Abraham Hammond Solomon, the other son of Solomon Solomon. In the same year George Solomon came to Falmouth and was employed by his elder brother Abraham Hammond Solomon for a time.
 
SOLOMON, Henry (I980)
 
198 1. Abraham was working in Falmouth, Jamaica in 1844, when his cousin Henry Solomon the son of Barnett Solomon died there,and in New York in 1851 and 1861.
2. When his brother George Solomon came to Falmouth Jamaica in 1844 at the age of 19, he was initially employed by Abraham.
3. He renounced his share of his fathers estate.
4. Charles Franklin Solomon, his son, married his cousin Alice Solomon on 29 April 1890 in Melbourne, ref Solomon/Bedwell family. Alice was the daughter of Abraham's brother Henry Solomon.
5. 1881 London census gives:-
- 58 Beresford Rd. London, Islington
- Philip Solomon, head, M, 42, W. Indian merchant,b. Jam.
- Lottie, wife, 38, b. Sydney, Australia
- Kate, daugh. 9, b. Mid. London.
- Margaret, daugh. 8, b. Mid. London.
- Emily, daugh. 5, b. Mid. London. I wonder if there is a connection.
 
SOLOMON, Abraham Hammond (I972)
 
199 1. Alice acted as informant in 1891 at the death of her father (her age 39).
2. Charles Franklin Solomon born 1851 died 1919 at Fitzroy (6805) was the son of Abraham Hammond Solomon and Elizabeth Abrahams of NY. This sounds like Alice's uncle who went
to America. Ref Section 19, also the use of the name Franklin is like that of Lazarus Franklin who married Miriam the daughter of Israel Abrahams. Henry Roche referred to a book on the Franklin Family, it needs checking out.
It seems that we may have first cousins marrying and possibly a link back to the Abrahams family here.
3. Alice Solomon Probate, Series 299/No.760, Widow, granted 19/11/1938.
4. Was this the Charles Solomon who taught Clara Mendoza the piano & who was a Professor at the Melbourne University? 
SOLOMON, Alice (I1048)
 
200 1. As Solomon Solomon, Barnett's brother, gave London as his place of birth in the 1851161 Census' it is probable that Barnett was a/so born there and that they came to Portsmouth (Portsea ) from London at some time before 1808 when Barnett's name first appears when he marries Betsey the daughter of a member of the local community (Synagogue) and automatically becomes a member himself.
2. Barnett's Hebrew name was, "Issachar (Ber) b.Zvi Samuel"
3. Barnett probably died at Ordnance Row which is given as one of addresses and is referred to in his son Henry's obituary in 1844 in the Hampshire Telegraph.
4. Various addresses at Portsea and Portsmouth are given in the Rate Books and Navy Lists in Henry's first letter.
5. The Navy Lists give the Trading Addresses of Navy Agents.
6. A Navy Agent dealt with sailors pay arrangements as they were often at sea and wanted to have a good time when on land.
7. After the death of Barnett in 1828, Betsey continued to appear in the Navy Usts as his "widow and administration" at 38 College St. Portsea from 1828-Dec 1829 and then from March 1830-June 1835 at various addresses in LONDON.
8. Ref. letter dated 2. 1. 1996 from Henry Roche for London addresses if required.
9. Betsey was listed in the 1830 Portsea directory as "Clothes Saleswoman and Navy Agent'
10. To flesh out the family of Elizabeth Isaacs - The 1841 Portsea, Portsmouth Census gives "Henry Solomon aged 15 (which fits perfectly with the age of Barnett's son, Henry) at the home of Samuel & Lewis Isaacs at Hawk St.Portsea". Samuel, Lewis, Abraham & Henry Isaacs were sons of Israel Isaacs (Hebrew name of Asher b. Isaac lbshits i.e. from Ipswich), this family arrived in Portsmouth around 1805. Henry Roche thinks that when the death of Elizabeth (Betsey) Solomon is found she will be a Peski/Peska or maybe Beila bat. Asher (bat.= daughter of) and the sister of the four brothers above.
Also in 1828-1829 (after the death of Barnett in 1828) she is living at 38 College St.which was next door to L.(ewis) Isaacs, so she is probably living next door to her brother. The above is hypothetical but the evidence is compelling that it is a valid family connection.
11.Elizabeth married Aaron Joseph at Great Synagogue London on 9 March 1845, Aaron was a witness at the marriage of Lewis Phillipos & Sarah Solomon in 1846. 
SOLOMON, Barnett (I977)
