Notes for Christopher Parkinson (Spouse 1)
CHRISTOPHER PARKISSON (Parkinson) THWEAT lived with his father in Burnden Street, Bolton in 1841. Their surname was recorded as Thwaites in this census.
Christopher’s second name, Parkinson comes from another old family in Bolton-le-Moors.
He arrived in Australia as an immigrant 4 Dec 1841 on the “Columbine”.
The person writing out the forms on the ship has changed spelling of surname from Thweat to Thwaite as had the person who filled in the 1841 census. Immigration record gives his occupation as “ farm labourer”.
He married Maria Wiseman (1st marriage for Maria) 3 Oct 1842 at Scots Church (Presbyterian) in Sydney by John Dunmore Lang.
It is not known when or where he died, but one account said he had left to go to the goldfields at the time of the Eureka stockade and it is felt he may have died there. The Eureka Stockade was in December 1854 after Maria Wiseman had remarried which would mean either he and Maria have parted or he was already dead at the time of her second marriage in May 1854. The Victorian deaths were searched but no record of his death was found in that colony and there is no record of his death in New South Wales.

Notes for George (Spouse 2)
He was a convict. the Convict muster of 1825 lists a George Irby arriving 1823 on “ Recovery” plus John Irby & Thomas Irby. George was convicted in Oxford 3 Mar 1818.
The 1828 census records George’s age at 27, this would suggest he was born circa 1801, 7 years later than expected. George and bothers were working for John Macathur of Bowral.

Notes for Thomas (Spouse 3)
Brother of Maria’s second husband George. He also had been a convict. He was not listed as being pardoned in the 1834-59 records, but may have occured either before or after this time but before his marriage in 1864.
