CHILDS, Thomas L. From Huntingdonshire? Emigrated to NSW in 1850s
Greg Patch is looking for Somerset ancestors and others:
John and George PATCH were brothers who emigrated to NSW - John on
Washington Irving from Weston Supermare (or possibly Plymouth) in 1857,
George via New Zealand. They were natives of Bagley SOM and the sons of
George Patch and Anne nee Rossiter. Sarah Patch (b. 1762/3 Meare SOM) was
the mother of the latter George (father not known). Sarah (re-?) married
James Parsons in 1799 Wedmore SOM.
Mary Ellen Norris was a native of Somerset but no other details, except that
she was the paternal GGM of Greg Patch.
Phoebe Ganfield was of Meare SOM and was John Patch's wife. Phoebe's brother
John Ganfield also emigrated to NSW.
All of the above appeared to have settled around Paterson/Gresford/Hinton in
the Hunter Valley of NSW in the 1850s, and then moved to the Richmond River
area of NSW in the 1870s.
Ambrose Rossiter was half brother to John Patch and emigrated to NSW on the
Harriet in the early 1850s. He settled in Surry Hills (Sydney) where he was
recorded as being a gardener.
Greg Patch would appreciate contact with other of these names from Somerset.
