ARC----An Oldswinford Mobberley DownUnder
Posted: Wed Jul 06, 2011 11:17 am
Greetings, Everyone. I'm a newbie to this forum, but quite excited by it all.
I have been researching my husband's family tree and came upon the Black Country Connections website. What an amazing effort that is! It was very helpful and reaffirmed that I was on the right track. Thank you!
This MOBBERLEY family line has descended from Raphe MOBBERLEY (born 1570) in Oldswinford. Our early lineage is as follows: John MOBBERLEY (1648)m. to Dorothie HILL - William MOBBERLEY (1683)m. to Sarah SKELDING - William MOBBERLEY (1710) m. to Hannah LANE - William MOBBERLEY (1738) m. to Ann FOLEY- Thomas MOBBERLEY (1776) m. to Elizabeth ROUND - Thomas MOBBERLEY (1815) m. to Ann RUSHTON.
When I follow the family line down to the 1800's things start to diverge and get interesting, and since this information is missing from BBC, I thought I'd pass it on for your confirmation.
Thomas MOBBERLEY (b.1815, Amblecote) married Ann RUSHTON (b.1814, Ashwood) on June 6th, 1835 at Oldswinford. Their firstborn son, Samuel Rushton MOBBERLEY (b. 1836 in Kingswinford) married Elizabeth Ann NEALE (Neil?) on March 1st, 1857 at Stourbridge (possible registry wedding).
They emigrated to Auckland, New Zealand sometime after their son John Waltho MOBBERLEY was born at Stamber Mill, Oldswinford, on August 9th, 1858 and baptised at Oldswinford on April 27th, 1859. They are not located in the 1861 UK census, and their next son Samuel was born April 8th, 1863 in Auckland.
John Waltho married Elizabeth (Eliza) Ann CLARK on Nov. 6th, 1880 at the registry office on Mary St. in Thames, NZ and they eventually left NZ some time after the death of Samuel Rushton MOBBERLEY (Sept. 8th, 1885), leaving mother Betsy and siblings behind, and moved to Sydney, Australia where the family line continues in the area to this day.
(I found a listing for a Mrs Mobberley travelling with a child and infant as passangers on the Wairarapa, sailing from Auckland to NSW on the 25th of April, 1887 and daughter Gertrude was born on May 23rd, 1887 in Sydney).
John Waltho MOBBERLEY appears to have been much loved by his family, and had 9 children, 6 surviving into adulthood. My husband is descended from the eldest son, Charles William MOBBERLEY (b. 1889 at St. Leonards, NSW) who married Elizabeth Blanche PARKER in 1909 at Waterloo, NSW.
If any of you are related to this Mobberley branch of the family and/or wish to add this information to your family tree, please feel free to do so. Any additional information you might have about this branch of the MOBBERLEY tree will be greatly appreciated.
