Coumbe in North Hill, Cornwall Family History & Genealogy |
Mostly Coombe – Migrants – Lady Ann 1862
The following arrived in Adelaide in March 1862 on the Lady Ann: Benjamin Coumbe, Edgar Coumbe, Alice Coumbe / Ellis Coumbe, John Coumbe, Selina Coumbe and Susan Coumbe. Within 18 months both parents had died. The eldest son soon returned to England. A daughter remained in South Australia.
If this should meet the eye of RICHARD HARRIS, late of Paddington, London, by immediately applying to Mr. J. Coumbe, butcher, Topham-street, Adelaide, he will hear of something greatly to his advantage through the death of his father and sister (Mrs. Mullins.) Sep-Oct 1862
John Coumbe’s colonial life was short. He was the subject of a controversial assault in December 1862. In March 1863 there was an inquest into the death of John Coumbe, butcher, of Topham-street, Adelaide, who died in an accident driving a cart. Benjamin William Coumbe, son of the deceased, said his father was 50 years of age.
Susannah died at home in Brompton, recently widow of John Coumbe.
