Provenance

The Rowe family traced herein came from the Sunderland area of England about 1800; the Carroll line hailed from Cork, Ireland.

Early Generations

1. George Tumith (c1761…) and Jean — (…)

*The name Tumith appears variously as Tumath, Tumeth, Toomath, et cetera.
George Tumith (born circa 1761) and his wife Jean — appear to have been the parents of four children (possibly six) children :
Edward and William are thought to have been brothers, but perhaps were cousins.
Robert Tumath of Oakville, Ontario, Canada (2000) is a descendant of a John Toomath, who was recently traced to the parish of Doonan in Co Fermanagh with a birth date of 1795.

1.1 William Tumith (c1786…1861) m. Margaret Noble (c1793…1861)

William Tumith and his wife Margaret Noble arrived in Australia on 28 March 1841 from Co Fermanagh IRL, having sailed from Liverpool ENG on the 568 ton St Johns-built (1834) A1 ship Margaret on 23 October 1840. William was the son of farm-workers GEORGE and JEAN TUMITH (the latter having died prior to 1841), and Margaret was the daughter of wheelwright ALEXANDER NOBLE. Her mother has been variously identified as dairy-woman ??SYDNEY SYLVEY/SIDNEY NOBLE/MARGARET LITTLE.
Listed as being with William (38 years) and Margaret (38 years) aboard the Margaret were their children WILLIAM (16 years), JANE (13 years), BETSEY (?Elizabeth - 8 years), ROSE (4 years) and KATHERINE (2 years). Listed as single males and females were five other children, twins SIDNEY (?a girl) and ANN (20 years), GEORGE (19 years) and twins FLORA and MARGARET. The parents seemingly understated their ages to qualify for bounty passenger benefits, as their death certificates give earlier birth-dates. Margaret died, aged 68 years, on 29 April 1861 at Newtown (living with her daughter Catherine). She had been in the Colony 20 years, and this would mean she was 48 years when she emigrated. William died, aged 75 years, on 31 October 1861 (also residing with Catherine), indicating that he was 55 years in 1841. Both the parents' death certificates agree that there were two boys and six girls living and two children deceased in 1861. The family had come from Drumkeeran FER (now included in Co Leitrim), not far from Enniskillen. Jane's death certificate lists her birthplace as Enniskillen.

Thus the known children of William and Margaret Tumith, all born in Co Fermanagh (Leitrim) IRL, were:

In later life several of these children spelt their surname Tumeth..

1.1.1 George Tumith (c1821…?1894) m3. Sarah Gullum

A marriage was recorded in Sydney during 1861 for George Tumith and Sarah Gullum. This was probably George, son of WILLIAM TUMITH and MARGARET NOBLE, who arrived aged 19 years per the Margaret in 1841. George and Sarah raised seven children, the first three having their births registered at Richmond west of Sydney, where George’s younger brother William sister and Jane were raising their families. In a pattern similar to that of his younger brother William, after 1867 the births of George and Sarah’s children were registered at or near The Glebe (1869, 1871), Sydney (1874) and nearby Redfern (1875), indicating that the family had moved into Sydney’s inner south-west. The children were:
A descendent of George William Tumith is Malcolm Butters of Wyoming NSW, who is working on a book about the Tumath's. Another is Wendy Rose née Jackson, through George William Tumeth and his third wife Sarah Gullam.
The death of a George Tumeth, son of William, was registered at Windsor NSW in 1894.

1.1.2 William Tumith (c1824…) m. Maria Allen

A marriage is recorded for William Tumith and Maria Allen at Christ Church St Lawrence, George Street, Sydney in 1850. This was probably William, son of WILLIAM TUMITH and MARGARET NOBLE, who arrived aged 16 years per the Margaret in 1841. His movements are parallelled by the family of George Tumith, arguably his brother, and Jane Mitchell née Tumith, and maintain proximity to William and Margaret. Following their marriage, William and Maria moved to the Richmond/Windsor district on the Hawkesbury River west of Sydney; they lived at Richmond until 1867, and all their early children were baptised at the Church of England at Richmond or born in that district, save Eliza S who was baptised at Windsor. After 1867 the births of children were registered at or near The Glebe in Sydney. Their prolific brood included:

1.1.3 Jane Tumith (c1827…1900) m1. William Mitchell (…1852-57), m2. William Layton

Jane Tumith was born at Enniskillen FER c1827, seventh child of WILLIAM TUMITH and MARGARET NOBLE. She was married the first time to William Mitchell at the Scot's Church, Windsor NSW, in April 1847. William was a shopkeeper at Windsor, and died 1852-1857. Their children were
Jane Tumith's second marriage, in November 1857 at Scot's Church, Pitt Street South, Sydney, was to William Layton, a squatter. Jane died at Grafton NSW on 2 April 1900.

1.1.3.1 Mary Ann Jane Mitchell (1848…) m1. George Miller Avery (1844…1875), m2. John Kirby

Mary Ann (Marion) Jane Mitchell, born 1848 in Sydney to WILLIAM MITCHELL and JANE TUMITH, married twice, first to George Miller Avery, in February 1868 at Grafton. The birth of a George Avery, son of SAMUEL and ARABELLA, was recorded in 1844 in the Clarence River district of the NSW north coast. George and Marion were the parents of:
The death of a George M Avery, son of Samuel and Arabella, was recorded at Grafton in 1875. Mary Ann's second marriage was to John Kirby in December 1877, seemingly in Sydney.

1.1.4 Elizabeth Tumith (c1832…1876) m. Samuel William Brown (c1821-26…1907)

In May 1851, Samuel William Brown and Elizabeth Tumith, daughter of WILLIAM TUMITH and MARGARET NOBLE, were married at Scot's Church, Pitt Street, Sydney. Both were noted as residents of Sydney, he a bachelor and she a spinster. William Tumith and Margaret Noble with Elizabeth and their other children arrived in Australia on 28 March 1841 from Co Fermanagh IRL aboard the Margaret. Although Betsy Tumith's age of 8 years in 1840 does not tally with Elizabeth Brown's (née Tumith) age of 27 years stated on Arthur Earnest Brown's 1863 birth certificate, it remains likely that they were the same person. Samuel William and Elizabeth Tumith had at least ten children:
In 1854 and 1855 Samuel William's profession was listed as a dealer, residing in Windmill Street, Sydney, in 1854 and in Queen's Place, Sydney, in 1855. Arthur's birth certificate shews his father was in 1863 a business proprietor living in Grose Street, Glebe.
Elizabeth Brown née Tumith died at home in Derwent Street, Glebe NSW in August 1876, aged 43 years. Her death certificate lists her father William as a farmer. Samuel William Brown later remarried (see Section 3 below for further details), ; he died in 1907:

William George Toomath, born 1833, known as George, son of EDWARD and MARY TOOMATH, emigrated to Canada where he married Catherine/Kathryn Ferguson in 1861. Thought to have been farmers, they later emigrated to Charlevoix MI where they raised eight children (a ninth died at birth):

1.2.1.1 Robert H Tumath (1874…) m. married Carrie Ferris

Robert H Tumath (born 1874) married Carrie Ferris, they had four children:
Robert died and Carrie then married John Carroll, the two boys taking the name Carroll.

Dorothy Jane Tumath, born 1897, married Louis James Harrington; their four children were:

2. William John Armstrong m. Fanny Adelaide Mooney (c1847…1917)

In her first marriage Fanny Mooney, born c1847 in Belfast, Ireland, daughter of tailor EDWARD MOONEY and FANNY ?SIDWELL (or, according to his daughter’s death certificate, born c1845 in Dublin to tailor JOHN MOONEY and his wife FANNY ——) married William John Armstrong in 1866 in NSW. Children born to Fanny Mooney and William Armstrong were:
One story has three of these children going to live in Western Australia.

2.1 William John Armstrong (1864…) m. Sarah

William (* William J) and Sarah Armstrong were parents of :
It is possible that Sarah Armstrong was born Sarah Gough in Sydney in 1868, daughter of William and Ann Gough, and who married a William J Armstrong in Sydney in 1888. It appears that she died at Manly in 1930.[Alternatively, Sarah Armstrong could have been born Sarah Shakespear who died aged 70 years in 1937 at Lakemba. This Sarah had married a William J Armstrong at Dubbo in 1888.]

Sidney Brown in 1992 recalled details of three Armstrong children (most likely three of the above, remembered as uncles and aunts rather than cousins). These were Alfred Armstrong (Alfie), Edward Eric Armstrong (Ned) and Elsie Armstrong. Alfie became the Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia; late in life he married the widow of Sam Lands (?Doris Helen née Pitt-Jones), a well known Sydney jeweller. It is thought that Alfie was knighted for his services to the community. Elsie never married, but lived some of her later years in a beautiful apartment at South Manly c1932, and was remembered by Sid (recalling trips from his Auburn home by suburban steam train and harbour steam ferry to Manly) as a very nice lady, good looking and with a kind face, aged about 40 years. To his knowledge she did not work; she may have been well off financially, or have been supported by her brothers. Ned rose to a senior engineering position in the NSW Government Railways. Edward Eric Armstrong, aged 55 years, died 4 March 1949.

At least two births were registered to Alfred E and Harriette Armstrong (this may have been Alfred Edward, born 1870):

3 ♦ Samuel William Brown (c1821-26…1907) m2. Fanny Adelaide Armstrong (née Mooney) (c1847…1917)

Samuel William Brown's year of birth has been estimated from three sources. His death certificate (1907, aged 85 years) suggests London 1821/22, while his second marriage certificate (1881, aged 56 years) indicates 1825, and the birth certificate of his son Arthur Earnest would indicate 1825/1826. Samuel's 1907 death certificate, for which the informant was his son L S Brown (youngest child of his first marriage), states that he had been in New South Wales for 70 years at the time of his death, and that his father was –– Brown, a hotelkeeper. This would suggest that Samuel emigrated to Australia about 1837, aged 12-15 years, presumably accompanied by one or more adults, possibly including his father. No details are given concerning his mother. It was for a while conjectured that our S W Brown was possibly the son of W W Brown and A Hucks remains just a possibility — research by Rosemary Rees (pers comm December 2002) has shewn that was not the case.
The specifics of Samuel's emigration remain a mystery but research by Glenn Browni gives some possibilities:
1. Arrived on Ship Asia V (3) on 2 December 1837 in Sydney from Torbay, UK. Left the UK on 4 August 1837. Gained Certificate of Freedom on 19 January 1844. Born c1802
2. Arrived ship Buckinghamshire as a bounty emigrant. Left London 31 December 1838. Arrived Adelaide May 1839
3. Samuel Brown, convicted on 3 April 1837 at the Old Bailey. Sentenced to 7 years, arrived 1838 from London to NSW on the ship Emma Eugenia (departed 2 November 1837.) Occupation labourer. Born c1816. Pardoned between 1842 and 1845.
4. Samuel Brown, convicted at Suffolk on 28 July 1835, sentenced to life, transported on the ship Recovery on 26 October 1835.
Examination of the IGI index reveals the following possible Samuel William Brown:
Samuel William Brown, born 9 August 1819 at Waltham Abbey, Essex, England to John and Sarah Brown. Other children to John and Sarah may have been: Sarah (b1800), John (b1803), Charles (b1805) and Mary Jane (b1809). Also see Samuel Willliam Brown .


Samuel William Brown first married Elizabeth Tumith, on 12 May 1851 at Scot's Church, Pitt Street, Sydney, with ten issue resulting. Elizabeth Brown née Tumith died at home in Derwent Street, Glebe nsw on 25 August 1876. (For further details of this marriage and it's descenants see Section 1.1.4 above.)

In April 1881, Samuel William Brown, gentleman and widower aged 56 years, and Fanny Adelaide Armstrong (née Mooney), dressmaker and widow aged 34 years, both residents of Sydney, were married at Bethel House, George Street North, Sydney. Fanny, born c1847 in Belfast, Ireland, was the daughter of EDWARD MOONEY a tailor and FANNY ?SIDWELL (or, according to his daughter’s death certificate, born c1845 in Dublin to tailor JOHN MOONEY and his wife FANNY ——) and in photographs later in her life looked "marvellous for her age". Fanny met Samuel William in the course of his collecting rents from his Glebe properties.

[Fanny Mooney's previous marriiage had been in NSW to William John Armstrong in 1866 [see Section 2 above for further details].
The issue to Samuel's second marriage, to Fanny Armstrong née Mooney, were:
Samuel William Brown, property owner aged 85, died May 1907 at 20 Derwent Street, Glebe. Samuel Brown’s Will, granted Probate, directed that Fanny should receive his household effects and an income of 10/- a week from cottage rentals until sold and on division of the estate another £50, and that their children receive legacies plus interest when they came of age. The legacies were £40 and watch to George, £40 to Florrie and £25 to Charles. The rest and residue of the estate was to be equally divided when sold among Thomas, James, Robert, Samuel, Louis, Arthur, Sarah Kimber [ie. Emily] and Albert, being the children of his first marriage.
Fanny Adelaide Brown survived her husband to die intestate aged 72 at Kensington NSW in August 1917.

3.1 ♦ George Herbert Brown (1882…1948) m. Johanna Wills (1886…1976)

George Herbert Brown was born at Derwent Street, Glebe in August 1882, son of SAMUEL WILLIAM BROWN and his wife FANNY ARMSTRONG née MOONEY. For both Samuel and Fanny it was their second marriage, each having been widowed prior to their marriage in 1881 at which their declared ages were 56 and 34 years respectively. George had fourteen step-brothers and step-sisters from his parents' previous marriages.
In November 1909, George married Johanna Wills at St Phillip's CoE, Auburn NSW. Johanna, born at Orange NSW in March 1886, was the daughter of SAMUEL KESSELL WILLS, an engineer-miner, and his wife PHILLIPA ANNE GREEN. Johanna's death certificate has her father named as Samuel Thomas Wills.

On 11 May 1907, George was involved in a accident on his bicycle where he knocked down a person. The Coroner's inquest, held on 22 May 1907, was reported in The Sydney Morning Herald on Thursday 23 May 1907 (p8):
CASUALTIES AND FATALITIES.
ACCIDENTAL DEATH.
An inquest was held yesterday by the City Coroner on the body of William Rickardson. The evidence showed that deceased was crossing George-street at about 8.35 on the morning of May 11, when he was knocked down by a bicycle ridden by George Herbert Brown, of 20 Derwent-street, Glebe. His head struck the roadway. Deceased was taken to the Sydney Hospital, and died on May 16. Brown rang the bell to warn deceased, who appeared to hesitate, as if to let him pass, but again started to cross the road, with the result that he was struck. The Coroner found that death had been caused by injuries received from the collision, and added that it was one of the bicycle cases where one could say without any doubt that the rider of the bicycle was not to blame.

Perhaps it was George mentioned in the following report in The Sydney Morning Herald on 15 February 1916 (p6) [this needs to be substantiated]:

IN EQUITY.
(Before Mr. Justice Simpson.)
LAND TRANSFER.\An application was made by Mr. H. H. Mason (instructed by Messrs F. E. Ward and Hill), on behalf of George Herbert Brown for an order directing Conrad Machen, to pay the costs of vesting certain land in the applicant. The application was made under The Trading with the Enemy Act Prior to the outbreak of the war, Brown purchased a piece of land a part of the Railway Estate, at Epping, from Martin Frederick Vollmar and Conrad Machens. Vollmar had already transferred half of his Interest in the land to Brown but as Machens was a German subject, and resided in Germany, he was unable to do so. On December 10 an order was made testing Machens' hire of the land in the purchaser, who paid the balance of the purchase money to the Collector of Customs under the Trading with the Enemy Act. His Honor made the order asked for, and directed that the costs incidental to the application should be made a charge on the moneys in the hands of the Collector of Customs.

The four children born to George Herbert Brown and Johanna Wills were:
George worked for the New South Wales Government Railways as an engine-driver, a quiet and family-minded man. He died in June 1948 at Katoomba NSW. The Sydney Morning Herald, Tuesday 8 June 1948 (p12) noted:

Charlie later married Mary Cleophus Sylvia Turnbull née Vaughan, a Roman Catholic and chorus-line girl from Sydney’s famous Tivoli Theatre [indexes have marriage marriage of Mary C S Vaughan and Leslie D Turnbull registered in Sydney in 1913, and marriage of Charles P Brown and Mary C S Turnbull registered in Sydney in 1926]. The birth of Mary C Vaughan, daughter of JAMES E and ELLEN, had been registered at Redfern in 1895. The Sydney Morning Herald of Wednesday 7 April 1926 noted:

U-1 William Williams Brown (c1804…) m. Adelaide Hucks (1804…)

[Based on information from Rosemary Rees [rose@lycopod.freeserve.co.uk] (December 2002) who established that this family has no obvious relationship with that of Samuel William Brown above]
William Williams Brown (a cooper, age 15) married Adelaide Hucks, at St Olave's, Southwark, on 26 December 1819. Adelaide Hucks, born 5 September 1804, was the daughter of SAMUEL HUCKS, a cooper of Canal Row, and his wife HANNAH, whose issue, all christened at St. Mary Magdalen, Bermondsey, included Henry (no parents or date of birth on record), Jacob Humbert (christened 6 December 1800), Anthony Orlando (christened 2 January 1809) and Thomas Anthony (christened 17 August 1810).

Not more than three kilometres apart, Westminster, Kensington and Battersea straddle the Thames about twelve kilometres west of central London. Clapham is in Surrey, immediately southwest of Greater London. Edward Street (part) and Mills Street were later renamed Eckett Street and again, later still, Edward Street (part) was renamed Decima Street. In 1989 Edward Street no longer existed and Eckett Street couldn't be located; Decima Street however still runs off Tower Bridge Road on the south side.
