14 CHAPTER 2. SECOND GENERATION 1814 - 1849 Figure 2.1: Mary Anne Floyd née Belcher the other seven children were all baptized at St Mary’s Church of Ireland, Clonmel. (A baptismal certificate was obtained from Ireland in 1888, presumably to supply information on the children’s dates of birth). Then, in 1864, Mary Anne migrated to Australia with her husband Thomas and the 7 young children. They travelled via Liverpool, on the 1118 ton ship Annie Wilson, captained by John Duckett, and arrived in Melbourne on 23 August 1864, bringing a young girl named Ellen Cahill aged 18, possibly to assist as a nursemaid. Her husband, Thomas Floyd, immigrated as a labourer, according to the shipping lists, as the demand in Australia was for agricultural labourers, shepherds, female domestics and farm servants. He was listed in Clonmel as a coach maker on his children’s baptismal certificate and was employed as a Coach Painter in Beechworth, for a coaching firm, Crawford and Connolly, who operated coaches in North Eastern Victoria and Southern New South Wales. Between 1865 and 1888, Thomas and his wife acquired 2 blocks of land in John St., Spring Creek, Beechworth, where the family built their home, and lived until their deaths, and also Crown Allotments in Oxley, Long Gully near Bendigo, and Whorouly. The reasons for ownership of the

The family were staunch members of the Beechworth Congregational Church, and would almost certainly haved helped with the construction of a new church, to accompany the existing building, used as a Sunday School, in 1869. Their youngest son became the organist at that church for a while, and their descendants continued to support it. The church was sold after the formation of the Uniting Church in 1979, and is now a library. On 23rd November 1907, Mary Ann Floyd died at Beechworth of stomach cancer at her home in John Street aged 88. At this date, only Eliza Ruth 58, Anna 53, Sarah Beatrice 50, Susan Amelia 48 and Henry 44 were alive. Her husband had predeceased her on 12 September 1888, when he died at Spring Creek, in Beechworth, of bronchitis anddementiaattheageof73years, not18thSeptember, asappearsonhistombstone. They are both buried in the Congregational Compartment of Beechworth cemetery, in a family grave.
