TREVITHICK of Melbourne, Australia.
MarieneeHILL
Elizabeth Jane TREVITHICK married John HILL 1868 in Melbourne (his 2nd. marriage).
He had been living in Wellington, New Zealand, where he owned quite significant land. He died 1884, buried Bolton Street Cemetary, Wellington, NZ. She was sole beneficiary, despite some of his 10/11 children still being in Wellington.
No further trace of her in NZ. Where did she go? Did she have siblings/parents in Melbourne ?
Further : On 23 September 1867 a ship by the name of John Temperley arrived in Hobson's Bay (Port Phillip) near Melbourne, from London via Plymouth, one of the passengers onboard was Elizabeth J Trevethick. Aged 23.
Anyone know of this family - would be very keen to hear from you!!

Groom: John HILL.
Birth place: Given as Arbroath.
Bride: Elizabeth Jane TREVITHICK.
Birth place: Given as Cornwall.
Year married: 1868.
Place: Victoria, Australia.
Ref: Registry of Marriages Victoria. Reg #1074.
The marriage certificate should give you a few more details and help to confirm Elizabeth's age and names of parents.
The Elizabeth J TREVITHICK arriving on the "John Temperley" in 1867 was 23 years old and puts her year of birth circa 1844. There were a few Elizabeth TREVITHICKs baptized in Cornwall around this time but you need to confirm her year of birth and parents names to assist with further research.
Cheers.
