  • Notes 
    • John Baukham born Brighton 1786 - married Rebecca Long on 9th February, 1813 at St. Peters, Thanet, Kent.

      Elizabeth Boakham 9 Feb. 1817

      David Pettit
      Edward Pettit
      John Henry Gilmore Pettit
      Frederic Pettit
      Rebecca Emily Pettit

      Change of name...?
      why..............?
      family came to Western Australia aboard the 'Gilmore" arriving in December, 1829 - part of the Thomas Peel contingent.

      John Baukham/Pettit was a boatman, Custom House Officer, sailor or mariner - depending on which child's baptism you are looking up.

      William Bankham bapt. 1813 - died 29. 1. 1814 John George Bougham bapt 1815 - drowned as a result of a boating accident here in W.A. 8.7.1837 - body was not recovered Perth Gazette 8 July 1837 Richard, Sarah and Mary Anne were all born in Sutton cum Seaford - others in Thanet.

      Most of the records are from St Peters Church, Thanet. She also obtained confirmation sightings at the Society of Genealogists where copies of the Parish Registers were held. Also cited were copies of the Coastguards Index (station: Seaford) The copies are not too clear, and may not scan well, but I will give it a try. I see a note here too, from a J. Corpus, who I take to be a paid researcher, and dated Oct 16 1989, which confirms much of the information

      Cheers
