Selina GOWLLAND

1808 - 1900  (91 years)

 Set As Default Person

• Name	Selina GOWLLAND
  Relationship	with Teresa Ann GOATHAM
  Born	25 Sep 1808	Dover, Kent, England
  	About 1808 from age given when death registered in Australia, but shown as aged 61 on emigration papers. Parents named on her death cert. indicates it was the Selina Gowlland with the baptism below that John Gotham married, and hence that the age given at death rather than that on the emigration papers was right. Actual date from the baptism entry, place from censuses (1851-1871)
  Baptised	9 Jun 1809	St. Mary the Virgin Church, Dover, Kent, England
  	From PR (transcribed data on KFHS DVD) Shows Selina, daughter of Joseph [sic] and Peggy GOWLANDThere is also transcribed data from the PR entry on FamilySearch. This gives the father's name as Josiah, suggesting an error in the KFHS transcript, and also gives the dob as 25 Sep 1808
  Gender	Female
  Emigration	5 Apr 1880	Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
  	Arrival
  	Selina Goatham, aged 61, English, arrived in Australia on board the Chimborazo in 1880 - as did her husband (although strangely they weren't listed togther in the passenger list). The arrival port is shown as 'Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney, Australia', I think meaning the ship called at all three. As John subsequently lived in Melbourne I am guessing that that is where he disembarked.
  Died	1900	Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

  Marriage License	6 Feb 1807	Canterbury, Kent, England
  	"Josiah GOWLAND of St Mary Dover bach[elor] & Peggy THORNTON of the s[ame] sp[inster]. 6 Feb. Wm Pearce of the s[ame] bond." (from Willis, Canterbury Marriage Licences, 1781-1809)
  Married	8 Feb 1807	St. Mary the Virgin Church, Dover, Kent, England
  	From PR transcribed data from KFHS DVD) Shows Josiah GOWLLAND, Bachelor, of this parish married Peggy THORNTON, Spinster, of this parish, by Licence (Same on FamilySearch.)Estimates of years of birth of the 6 children baptised in 1823 (where not seen in another source) from their order in the PR, though they may not be listed in age order. Whilst I have spaced them as much as possible between Selina and around Richard 1814 (the date his age at death suggests he was born about 1814) there may have beenone or more who died in infancy after this so in reality there could have been larger and smaller gaps.

  Family	John GOTHAM,   b. 30 Oct 1818, Deptford, Kent, England ,   d. 13 Aug 1901, The Lunatic Asylum, Kew, Victoria, Australia  (Age 82 years)
  Married	6 Nov 1848	St. Mary’s Church, Paddington, Middlesex, England
  	From PR entry (image from LMA on Ancestry, 18 May 2011) Shows both of full age, both signed, bach and spinster, John Goatham as son of William, cooper; witnesses James Gill and Frances James(?). GRO ref: Goatham, John to GOWLLAND, Selina q4 1848 Kensington RD 3 328 Probably no children - if there were any born to the marriage they almost certainly died young. Selina was 40 when the couple married reducing the liklihood of children, and none is with Selina in any of the censuses.
  Family	This couple had no children together
