Biography

Flag of Somerset (adopted 2013)
James Welsh was born in Somerset, England.

James Welsh, son of Charles Maddox Welsh (1808-1881) and Louisa (Andrews) Welsh (bef.1827-1867), was born on 13 April 1856 in Twerton, Bath, Somerset, England.[1]

The Birth registration has his name as James Welsh, father Charles Andrews, mother Louisa Andrews formerly Clement so he was registered as James Welsh Andrews. James' father was actually Charles Welsh, but the birth is prior to Charles and Louisa's marriage in 1863. James' older siblings were also all registered under the name Andrews. James was referred to as James Welsh for the whole of his life.

In 1861, James was a Scholar aged 4, living with his parents and siblings at Brinsey Rd, Congresbury, Somerset, England.[2][3]

In 1867, James aged ten travelled with his family from London to Port Chalmers, New Zealand aboard the Warrior Queen.[4] The Welsh family left Gravesend, London, England on the 21 October 1867 with Captain Wilson in charge. Although the whole family would have been on board (Charles Maddox Welsh, his wife Louisa, and children Julia Louisa, Ellen or Helen, Sarah, Charles, James, Frank, Alfred, and Kate), only a passenger list with James' three eldest sisters listed has been found.[5] During the journey, James' mother Louisa died on 19 November 1867 during childbirth.[6]

The Warrior Queen arrived at the Otago Heads off Port Chalmers, New Zealand on 27 January 1868, and docked at Port Chalmers on 30 January 1868. On the arrival of the Warrior Queen in Port Chalmers as part of a full description of the trip, the Otago Daily Times on 29 January 1868 reported on the death of James' mother during the voyage:

On the 19th November, Mrs Louisa Welsh, aged 40, died through premature confinement brought on by seasickness; her child also died.[7]
The final voyage of the Warrior Queen was on 19 May 1874 when it sank off Northern California.[8]
New Zealand
James Welsh lived in Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand.

James Welsh married Ann Veary (Hogg) Welsh (1856-1900) on 22 March 1878 in All Saints Church, North Dunedin, Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand. Witnesses to this marriage were James' future brother-in-law, Robert Hogg and sister Helen Welsh.[9][10] Ann Veary Hogg's brother, William Hogg, and Emma Miller were married at the same time in a double wedding.[11][12]

Children from the James Welsh and Ann Veary Hogg marriage were:

  • Charles Robert Welsh was born in 1879 in Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand. Charles married Agnes Mair in 1901 in Victoria, Australia. He died in 1964 in Parkville, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia at age 85.
  • James Hogg Welsh was born in 1880 in New Zealand. He married Cecelia Amelia Emily Gange in 1907 in Victoria, Australia. James Hogg died in 1956 in Croxton, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
  • Mary Louisa Welsh was born in New Zealand in 1883, died in 1891 in Brunswick, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia at age 8, and was buried on 9 April 1891 in an unmarked grave [C of E Y214] at Melbourne General Cemetery, Carlton, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia with her 9 week old sister Veary Amelia May and mother Ann Veary.
  • Robert William Welsh was born in 1885 in Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand. He married his sister-in-law Amelia May Gange in 1909 in Victoria, Australia. He died in 1957 in Trafalger, Victoria, Australia.
  • Veary Amelia May Welsh was born in 1892 in North Melbourne, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, died aged 9 weeks in 1892 in North Melbourne, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, and was buried on 28 August 1892 in an unmarked grave [C of E Y214] at Melbourne General Cemetery, Carlton, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia with her 8 year old sister Mary Louisa and mother Ann Veary.
  • Ivy Violet (Welsh) Simons (1893-1971) was born on 26 August 1893 in 37 Melrose St, North Melbourne, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.[13]
  • Thomas Welsh was born on 23 August 1895 in Kensington Hill, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Thomas married Mary Carol Budge on 1 June 1915 in Eaglehawk, Victoria, Australia. He died on 31 August 1976 in Windsor, Victoria, Australia at age 81.

At the time of his marriage to Ann Veary Hogg on 22 March 1878, James Welsh was working as a Pastry Cook in Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand. In 1887, James, Ann and their family of Charles Robert (age 8), James Hogg (age 7), Mary Louisa (age 4) and Robert William (age 2) travelled from New Zealand to Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. In 1893, when Ivy Violet was born James occupation was a Confectioner living at 37 Melrose St, North Melbourne, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. James brother-in-law, Alfred Thomas Hogg, was informant to Ivy Violet's birth, and was also living at 37 Melrose St.

In 1900 at the time of his wife Ann Veary's death, James was living at 114 Gladstone Ave, Northcote, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

In Melbourne in 1899, 21 year old Hannah Tucker (Arnold) Reeves (abt.1878-1964) had a son, registered as Mervyn (Murwyn) Ernest Arnold[14] born in Carlton, Melbourne, with father Unknown. Hannah, daughter of John Peake Arnold and Jane Hogg was born in 1878 in Geelong, Victoria, Australia, the ninth child in a family of 14. There is no known relation between Ann Veary Welsh (nee Hogg) wife of James Welsh and Hannah's mother, Jane Hogg, and perhaps only coincidence that she ended up as a maid in Ann Veary's house. Hannah was probably living with the Welsh's with her new born child, presumably looking after James' wife Ann Veary, who had carcinoma of the stomach and died on 5 August 1900.

After his wife's death, James and the two youngest surviving children, Ivy Violet and Thomas, returned to New Zealand in November 1905 (based on James' death certificate) with the housekeeper, Hannah Tucker Arnold and her son, known as Mervyn Ernest Arnold Welsh. The three eldest Welsh boys, Charles, James and Robert remained in Australia and were subsequently disinherited by their father.[15][16]

James Welsh married Hannah Tucker Arnold, daughter of John Peake Arnold and Jane Hogg, in 1907 in Caversham, Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand, shortly before James' death.[17]

James Welsh died from Pulmonary Tuberculosis on 23 October 1907 at 97 Forbury road, Kew, Caversham, New Zealand at age 51. His occupation was listed as Engineer on the death registration.[18][19]

James was buried on 25 October 1907 in Southern Cemetery, South Dunedin, Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand.[20][18][21]

James signed a Will on 27 September 1907 at 97 Forbury Road, Caversham, Otago, New Zealand. James' three eldest sons were not mentioned in James' Will, only Ivy Violet and Thomas. James' wife Hannah was a beneficiary of £100:

a.. appoints nephew, Robert Charles Collins, bootmaker of Dunedin; and John George Lewis Hewitt, solicitor, Dunedin as trustees and executors
b.. appoints sister, Helen Welsh, spinster of Dunedin, the guardian of his children Thomas Welsh and Ivy Violet Welsh during their respective minorities
c.. bequeaths to his son Thomas Welsh - a marble clock and two gold gentlemen's watches with chains attached
d.. bequeaths to daughter, Ivy Violet Welsh - two gold ladies watches with chains attached, and all of my other jewellery and trinkets, and piano
e.. real and personal property is to be sold and money used to:
1.. pay funeral expenses and debts
2.. pay wife, Hannah Tucker, the sum of 100 pounds
3.. residue to be invested in trust for two said children, Thomas and Ivy Violet Welsh, to be divided in equal shares when they reach the age of 21 years[16]

The final accounts of James Welsh included an Affidavit stating James died on 23 October 1907, with:

Property value £965/7/- (allots 3 &24 Block II Kew)
Cash £139/4/-[16]

The cash included a Draft from Louch, Son & Gorde Solicitors Langport, England in account of the children's share of income from Thomas Welsh, James Welsh's uncle, the residue of James' grandfather Richard Welsh's estate. James Welsh owed 29 year old Hannah Tucker Welsh, the ex-housemaid and wife of less than a year, £184, along with the £100 mentioned in the Will and £17 10s. for the children's annual maintenance. The sale of James' house and land was advertised on 20 February 1908.[22]

Research Notes

Missing Daughter
Ivy Welsh's 1893 birth certificate listed three sisters (two dead before 1893):

Charles - 14; James - 13; May - dead; Mary Louisa - 9; Robert - 8; Veary Amelia - dead

However, in 1900, Ann Veary Welsh (nee Hogg) death certificate didn't list Mary Louisa:

Charles Robert - 21; James - 20; May - dead; Robert William - 13, Very May - dead, Ivy - 5, Thomas, 3

Birth, death and burial records have been identified for both sisters Mary Louisa (1883-1891) and Veary Amelia May (1892-1892) who died before 26 August 1893, but no records that could account for the Mary Louisa - 9 born about 1884 and still alive in 1893. This is probably a mistake on Ivy's birth certificate with May and Mary Louisa being confused and mistakenly assigned to still being alive in 1893.

Australian Immigration
James and family travelled to Melbourne, Australia in about 1887. Ann Veary Welsh's 5 August 1900 death certificate indicates that she had been living in Victoria 13 years. Also around 1887, Ann Veary's brother Alfred Thomas Hogg emigrated to Melbourne. According to Marie Elizabeth Hogg's (nee McGuire) divorce application her husband and Ann Veary's brother Robert Hogg left Dunedin for Melbourne in December 1887. Robert was unemployed and financially strapped at the time and so it is highly likely both the Welsh family and Hogg brothers travelled together in December 1887.

Veary Amelia May (born 1892), Ivy Violet (born 1893) and Thomas (born 1895) were all born in Melbourne, Australia. They returned to New Zealand in November 1905, as on James' death certificate he had been living in New Zealand for 23 months in October 1907.

    a fine frigate-built ship of 988 tons, traded to Dunedin from 1865 until 1874, and always made good average passages. Captain Wilson commanded the ship for eight years, and during this period the vessel never sustained any serious damage. With the exception of the last voyage, in 1874, from Bristol, the ship sailed from London Docks . The Warrior Queen was not fitted up to carry immigrants, but she had comfortable accommodation for about seventy saloon and second-class passengers; she averaged about fifty each voyage.

  7. Otago Daily Times, 29 January 1868, page 4. The Otago Daily Times full report:
    The frigate-built ship Warrior Queen from London, arrived off the Heads at nine p.m. on Monday the 27th, and was observed in sight, about 10 miles off, at an early hour yesterday morning. The steam-tug Geelong proceeded outside and towed her in to the anchorage off Deborah Bay, where she brought up at 5.45 p.m.
    Captain Wilson, who still retains command, reports that he left Gravesend on the 21st of October, and had variable winds in the channel. On the 27th she was off Scilly, and encountered a heavy westerly gale. The weather afterwards continued principally from the westward to the Equator -- no N.E. Trades having been met with -- which was crossed on the 2nd December in longitude 29 30 W. The S.E. Trades were good, and carried to latitude 25 S. when variable winds were experienced to the meridian of Greenwich, which was crossed on the 20th December, and the Cape on the 26th. Her easting was run down between the parallels of 48deg and 49deg, and was characterised by winds veering from N.N.E. to W.N.W. The Snares were made at 8 p.m. on Friday the 24th, and Stewart’s Island sighted at 4 a.m. next day. From thence, thick weather and variable breezes were met with to arrival.
    She brings upwards of 90 passengers, all of whom have arrived in good health, no infectious disease whatever having occurred during the passage. There were, however, three deaths. On the 19th November, Mrs Louisa Welsh, aged 40, died through premature confinement brought on by sea sickness; her child also died. On December 19th, the infant son of Mr W. W. Wilson died of a mesenteric disease; and on the 8th January, Mr Edward Green died of consumption, from which he was suffering previously to coming on board.
    The passengers, shortly after arrival, presented Captain Wilson with a testimonial congratulating him on the successful termination of the voyage. The harbor steamer Golden Age conveys the passengers—amongst whom are a few assisted immigrants—to Dunedin this afternoon.
    By the reports of the E.P. Bouverie and Warrior Queen, both vessels must have kept close together from lat. 5 north, where they spoke. The E.P. Bouverie crossed the Equator one degree in advance of the Warrior Queen, and was again a day a-head in crossing the meridians of Greenwich and the Cape. A close race must have ensued from the Cape, as the E.P. Bouverie only made the Snares eight hours in advance of the other. Both vessels ran their easting down the same parallel of latitude.
  8. Otago Witness, 5 Sep 1874. Transcript:
    The Warrior Queen was spoken at 5 o'clock p.m. on the 19th [May] instance at 6:30 pm, without any idea that the ship was in any danger, she struck heavily, and although the wind was light, in fact almost calm, she went well up on the rocks, about five miles north of Point Reyes. No land was seen, nor, in fact anything was known of the danger until she struck. The ship's boats, three in number, were launched, and the crew, numbering some twenty-seven, all told, were put in them. The captain remained aboard the ship all night, which was not a very desirable position for one not knowing on what part of the coast he was. At four o'clock in the morning he arrived at the conclusion that nothing could be done to save the ship; he reluctantly set about saving the chronometers and personal effects of himself and crew, which they succeeded in doing to a certain extent, and the ship was abandoned, at which time she was lying easy, with 3 1/2 feet of water in the hold.
    ... Some surprise was expressed at the captain abandoning the ship altogether, considering that she was lying easily, and with only three feet of water in her, according to his own statement, as many thought that some one might have been left there out of the crew or officers.
