Thomas Hume

b. circa 1837
Last Edited: 7 Feb 2018
  • Birth*: Thomas Hume was born circa 1837 at Ratcliffe, London, England.1
  • Residence*: On 5 April 1891 Thomas Hume lived at 2 Braemar Vill, Tottenham, Middlesex, England, a boarder with Margaret Ward & her two children.1
  • Marriage*: Thomas Hume married Margaret Richards, daughter of James Richards, in 1896 at Shoreditch, London, England.2
  • Anecdote: Denise Smith from New Zealand writes:
    Did you know that Thomas Hume had also worked for the EIR as a Foreman in the Locomotive Department. He was appointed the 1 May 1859 and was in India at least until 1886 when his wife died in Allahabad [this wife is Denise's 3xgt aunt]. Thomas was her third husband, prior to that she had been married to two soldiers, her first marriage taking place 3 months shy of her 14th birthday. Something she and Margaret Richards had in common, with Margaret only 17 at the time of her second marriage. I thought you might like to know about the India connection, which was probably why Thomas was boarding with the Wards on the 1891 census.3
  • Residence: On 31 March 1901 Thomas Hume lived at 34 Claremont Rd, West Ham, London, England, a boarder, age 64 years, widower, retired mechanical emgineer.4

Jane Mary Ward

b. 27 August 1865, d. 26 February 1947

Parents:

Father: Edwin Ward b. c 1840, d. 14 Nov 1896
Mother: Mary (?) b. 1841, d. 22 Sep 1867
Last Edited: 4 Sep 2018
  • Birth*: Jane Mary Ward was born on 27 August 1865 at Howrah, Bengal, India.
  • She was the daughter of Edwin Ward and Mary (?)
  • Baptism: Jane Mary Ward was baptized on 29 September 1865 at St Thomas, Howrah, Bengal, India.
  • Anecdote: Jane's death certificate confirms that her father was Edwin Ward, Engineer. It states she was born in India and had spent 55 years in NSW.
    She died in 1947 at age 87 years which would put her birth c1860. However, the death certificate also says that she married at age 16 years, which would put her birth c1866 if her marriage was in 1882. Her sister Frances married in 1879 at age 17 years, so Jane Mary is likely to be born after Frances.1
  • Marriage*: Jane Mary Ward married Philip Henry Skelton, son of Philip Skelton, on 31 January 1882 at Calcutta St John, Calcutta, West Bengal, India, from probate of Will of P H Skelton in the NSW Court 1927. Also, Parish Register transcripts from the Presidency of Bengal 1713-1948 (Archive Reference: N-1-179, Folio 104, Brithish India Office Marriages). Bride's age 16 years.
  • Married Name: As of 31 January 1882, her married name was Skelton.
  • (Witness) Will: Jane Mary Ward is mentioned in the will of Philip Henry Skelton dated 3 October 1886 at Asansol, West Bengal, India.
  • Residence: On 30 October 1887 Jane Mary Ward and Philip Henry Skelton lived at 16 Newman St, Marylebone, Middlesex, England.
  • Emigration*: Jane Mary Ward and Philip Henry Skelton emigrated in 1892 to Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, arriving 18 Apr 1892 on the Nevasa with three children and one infant.
  • Residence*: In 1903 Jane Mary Ward and Philip Henry Skelton lived at Hall St, Merewether, New South Wales, Australia, (1903 Electoral Roll.)
  • Residence: In 1909 Jane Mary Ward and Philip Henry Skelton lived at Port Maitland Inn, Plaistowe St, Maitland West, New South Wales, Australia, (1903 Electoral Roll).
  • Anecdote*: The 2nd September 1914 was the last day that Jane Mary Skelton saw her husband, Philip Henry Skelton, as he mysteriously left her and disappeared. He withdrew all his money from the bank but mailed her a bank book with 150 pounds deposited for her. She received no further communication from him and the courts finally pronounced him dead in 1927. According to Barry Brown, a descendant of Jane, the story from his family was that Philip Henry Skelton ran off with a barmaid as he used to manage a few hotels, the last one being in Richmond NSW.
    Hugh Philip Brown's wife Eva reported that c1913 (when child Hugh was a baby) that there were family meetings concerning the Ward family. Hugh Philip Brown would go off to see his family and tell her "it was none of her business". This was possibly concerning Jane Mary Skelton (nee Ward) who was Hugh's mother's sister. The family meetings may have been about helping Jane, either financially or in some other way. Interestingly, Jane died in Toronto, NSW in 1947 which was Hugh Philip Brown's birthplace in 1891.
  • (Witness) Anecdote: Jane Mary Ward was a witness: On 6 September 1927 the probate court granted leave to swear to the death of Philip Henry Skelton as having taken place on or since September 3, 1914.2
  • Residence*: In 1937 Jane Mary Ward lived at Margaret Street, O'Brien's Estate, Cessnock, New South Wales, Australia.
  • Death*: Jane Mary Ward died on 26 February 1947 at Coal Point Rd, Coal Point, Toronto, New South Wales, Australia, at age 81. Jane Mary Skelton death cert shows the informant as a A Gracie, grandson, of Coal Point Rd, Coal Point, Toronto NSW she was 81 when she passed away born in about 1866 in India she married Philip Henry Skelton at 16 years of age in about 1882 in India at the time of her death Jane Mary Skelton had been in NSW for about 55 years the same amount of time as her son Alfred Edwin John Skelton. Jane Mary was buried on the 28 February 1947 at the Church of England Cemetary Toronto NSW.1
  • Burial*: Jane Mary Ward was buried on 28 February 1947 at Church of England Cemetery, Toronto, New South Wales, Australia.1
