• Notes

  Immigration. They came to Australia in 1842 on board the "Samuel Boddington". Mary must have been pregnant, as her baby, Charles Boddington was born on the 5th January, 7 days before their landing in Melbourne. The baby's middle name was taken from the name of the ship - Charles Boddington Paynter. He was christened 3 days later, but there is no record of him after that. Edward Bristow was also on board the same boat, so Mary would have met him then. He was 15 years younger than her. They claimed to have married in1843 or 1847 and Mary's 2 children - William and Eliza- were born in 1843 and 1847 in Collingwood (where Edward was also living). They were baptised as Paynters with Thomas named as their father, but were later known as Bristow, so perhaps they were Edward's children after all. They moved to Warrnambool in 1848/49 and had another child, John, in 1850, born there. Mary took William and Eliza to Warrnambool with her and Edward, but all her other children, (James, Henry, John and Francis) who were the only ones still alive, went with Thomas to Carngham. Another daughter Mary must have stayed in Melbourne as she married Francis Ford there in 1853, but then they also moved to Warrnambool. Thomas claimed in his will that he had not seen his wife for 20 years, so they must have still been legally married. On Mary's death certificate her children are listed as: 1st marriage Thomas William (dec.) James Camborne 59 Mary (dec.) Henry Mounsteven (dec.) John Edward 62 George (dec.) Francis (dec.) 2nd marriage William (dec.) Eliza (dec.) John 35
