DeathMary died on 15 May 1858 in Launceston aged 40 years. Cause of death was inflammation of the chest. The informant was John SIMPSON, undertaker. Her death was registered on 18 May 1858. ImmigrationMary arrived free to Tasmania some time before 1841. She is listed as arriving free on the 1842 Census for Richard CHUGG’s household. Marriage 1Mary BIRD married William HICKS sometime before the birth of their daughter Emma Theresa HICKS in November 1839. There is no record of the marriage. They may have been married when they arrived in Tasmania. Marriage 2Richard CHUGG married Mary HICKS (nee BIRD) on 27 January 1845 in the district of Launceston at the Baptist Chapel, York Street. They were married by Henry DOWLING according to the rites and ceremonies of congregationalists in the presence of Harold BARKER (BOWLER?) and Samuel WARNES. Richard
was a widower aged 45 years. Mary was a widow aged 23 years.
Mary had previously been married to William HICKS who is presumed to have
died, though there is no record of his death. Mary brought at least one child to the marriage; Emma Theresa was born in November 1839 and was five years old when her mother remarried to Richard CHUGG. Emma kept her father’s name of HICKS as Emma Theresa HICKS, aged 21 married Thomas GEE, aged 22 at Evandale on 14 December 1860. SiblingsThere was a male child (aged between 7 and 14 years) listed on the Census of Richard CHUGG’s household on 1 January 1842. This may have been a younger brother to Mary. It is unlikely to have been her son. |
