Edward Patrick & Mary Ann Tabor

Edward Patrick

Edward was born 3rd. Dec. 1834, son of William Patrick and Sarah Sunderland, christened in St. Johns, Parramatta. 

Edward's marriage to Mary Ann Tabor in 1865 was registered in Orange [i].

• Electoral Roll 1878-79 for Orange, show an Edward Patrick resident at Spring Hill in the district of Orange. Wikipedia "Spring Hill is a small village 13 km south-east of Orange, Australia. Its buildings date back to the 1870s."

One man of the name, Edward Patrick was recorded in Sands Directory from 1913 - 1925, as a sheep farmer, with 826 acres on the Corowa Road near Blayney, New South Wales. 

Edward Patrick senior died on 9 Nov 1923 aged 89 in Blayney, New South Wales.

Mary Ann Tabor

Mary Ann Tabor, (aka Taber or Taper) may have been born in New South Wales, Australia or may have arrived by ship. "The name Tabor is from the ancient Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. The name was given to a person who was a person who was known as the taborer, the player on the small drum". (Source: https://www.houseofnames.com/tabor-family-crest). 

The following information has not been confirmed as applicable and either reference requires further investigation:

1.  A person named Mary Ann Tabor was born in Campbelltown, New South Wales, the daughter of Thomas and Bridget (Carroll?). (NSW BDM - 2666/1845 V18452666 134)

2. A Mary Ann Taber, aged 7, arrived from Yaxsley (Yaksley), Huntingdonshire, England. Her family sailed from Downs, on 22 November 1852, and arrived in Sydney on 24 April 1853 aboard the ship Java, 968 tons under master J Christianson.  This TABER family consisted of Thomas E. Taber aged 36 from Peterborough, Nottinghamshire a shepherd and Mary 38, Jane 12, Mary A 7, Joseph 4, and Maria (20 months) died on the voyage. 

A Jane Taber married Willie Hardwick in 1862, Sydney and was the marriage recorded in the family bible of Elizabeth Patrick (Luck).

Mary Ann Taber / Tabor (b.abt 1845), died 20 Oct. 1921 in Blayney, New South Wales, Australia.

We can assume an affinity closeness between the Ewin and Patrick families, as three marriages were celebrated between them in 1895/96. The names of Sarah, Jane and Irene appear in the Luck Family Bible (circa 1880) also as recordings of deaths of family members. 

 Irene Elizabeth Mary Ewin was subject to a 'Coroners Inquiry' of September 1904, when a finding was death from:“Shock, consequence upon severe burns accidentally received at Lime Kilns. Irene was 3 years and 10 months”. Jane Ewin was also subject of a 'Coroners Inquiry' of November 1924, as her death resulted from a fall from a sulky.
