William Woodhams Mary Oakes

David Woodhams 1 publican (1859) 2 born 1792 baptized 20 May 1792, Fairlight, Sussex 3 died 13 July 1868, Newtown, New South Wales buried 14 July 1868, Camperdown, New South Wales Notes: Information for the Woodhams families is from the Parish Registers of Fairlight and Udimore in Sussex, and from the census returns of 1841, 1851 and 1861 and was provided by Chris Hogger. The information for birth and death dates and marriage information comes from an LDS pedigree file submitted by J. Carlyle Burt. This, in fact, states that David Woodhams was born 21 April 1795, Fairlight, Sussex and baptized there on 20 May 1795, which is apparently contradicted by the parish register. Bill Miles from Queensland tells me: David & Lucy Richardson Woodhams, described as agricultural labourer and dressmaker, with their four daughters Caroline, Mary Anne,Charlotte Elizabeth and Eliza, all described as dairy maids, along with two males, Richard Woodhams and James Woodhams (possibly brothers or cousins) migrated to Australia in 1839 on the Neptune. Bill Miles also says that there are, in the New South Wales Historical Indexes, a Richard Woodhams who died New South Wales 1840, aged 19, and a James and Ann Woodhams who were having children from 1844 onwards.

Ten children were born to them there. (but Bill Miles informs me that they had 7 children, of which 6 survived to accompany them to the United States in 1857). Mary Ann Gingell was disowned by her father when she and her husband and five of their children identified themselves with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. On 27th June 1857, aboard the 'Lucas', they set sail from Sydney for America and they disembarked in St. Pedro, California, on 13th October. Mary Ann gave birth to her tenth child on the high seas. The group of immigrants rested for a while in San Pedro then started their trek across the Western desert for Utah, arriving in Parowan late in the fall of 1857, and on to Paragonah. In this little community they endured all the hardships of pioneering, their last child was born. Sometime between 1861 and 1870 they moved to Evanston, Wyoming. Mary Ann Gingell died in Evanston.
