| Notes |
- Daughter of Charles Williams, millwright and Martha. Martha died at Moor Farm, Reedbanks, South Australia 21.05.1848.
The parish records state “Dec. 8 Abraham Hopkins Davis, Bachelor, of this Parish, and Mary Williams of this Parish, Spinster; by Banns. John Rose, DD, Rector. Witnesses: Martha Davis, John Davis Martha being his sister and John his father.
On 15 October 1837, Abraham Hopkins Davis, Mary Ann Davis and their children left Gravesend, London for Australia on a ship named “Lord Goderich” as part of the Wakefield Scheme. They travelled for 6 months. There were 157 passengers on board (111 adults and 46 children). Abraham, Mary and their children was given free passage to South Australia even though Abraham and Mary was too old to qualify. Abraham was 41.
Here is a photo of Charles Williams (1796-1866) and Mary Williams (1793-1871?, nee Smeeton).
The dates shown in the caption are when he was the minister of the congregational church in Lombard street in Newark.
This comes from a little book called "New Light on an Old Town" by G H Peters, written in 1951, about the various nonconformist churches in Newark and their ministers.
There is also some text about him in the book that we could scan and send.
Pictures of the chapel and its history can be found at

He is the chap who wrote books about all sorts of topics including "Dogs and their Ways" and "The Alps", and the father of Frederick Smeeton Williams who wrote the books about railways.
