The Mayburys of Australia and New Zealand

Members of the Maybury family were among the first Europeans to settle in Australia. Several Mayburys came to the colony of New South Wales as convicts. This convict heritage, once a source of communal shame, has now become a matter of pride for many Australians who share that heritage. In these early years of the colony, other Mayburys came free and their numbers grew as the 19th century progressed and the Australian colonies evolved beyond their initial roles as penal settlements. Economic opportunities, especially during the gold rush period, played a key role in attracting Maybury family groups to Australia and New Zealand.

Listed below are summaries of some of the early Maybury (Maybery, etc.) immigrants to Australia and New Zealand. The stories of these individuals and other Maybury families are told in greater detail in the chapter, ‘The Mayburys of Australia and New Zealand’, (edited by Mike Smithson) in The Mayburys, published in 2011.

William Valentine Maybury [1799-1883]

Transported to Australia in 1828

Gaps and contradictory information in historical records have led to a good deal of confusion surrounding the life story of William Valentine Maybury, a convict transported to Australia in 1828. William's death certificate names his parents as Henry Maybury, a cabinet maker, and Elizabeth Winifred. However, it is more likely that William Valentine Maybury was born on Valentine’s Day 1799 at Shifnal in Shropshire; the sixth of ten children of William and Jane Maybury:

  1. Martha Maybury, bapt. 2 May 1793 at Upton Magna, Shropshire

  2. Mary Maybury, bapt. 2 May 1793 at Upton Magna, Shropshire

  3. Charles William Rogers Maybury, bapt. 26 Sep 1795 at Upton Magna, Shropshire

  4. Sabrina Maybury, bapt. 23 Nov 1795 at Upton Magna, Shropshire

  5. Sabarina Maybury, bapt. 23 Oct 1797 at Shifnal, Shropshire

  6. William Valentine Maybury, born 14 Feb 1799; bapt. 17 Feb 1799 at Shifnal, Shropshire; his baptism was also recorded in the parish register at St. Mary's, Shrewsbury, Shropshire on 9 Aug 1801

  7. Letitia Maybury, born 17 Oct 1797; bapt. 9 Aug 1801 at St. Mary's, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

  8. Hugh Farmer Maybury, born 9 Nov 1800; bapt. 9 Aug 1801 at St. Mary's, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

  9. Mary Maybury, born 5 Mar 1803, bapt. 8 Apr 1803 at St. Mary's, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

  10. Robert Acton Maybury, born 30 Jun 1804; bapt. 15 Jun 1806 at St. Mary's, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

William was first married to Mary Hill and they had a daughter, Margaret Maybury, born around 1821. By 1826, the family was living in London where William worked as a clerk for a blacking manufacturer.

On 30 October 1827 at Old Bailey in London, William Valentine Maybury pleaded guilty on four counts of embezzlement and was sentenced to fourteen years transportation. In 1828, after four month's imprisonment on a hulk, he was transported to the colony of New South Wales. During the journey, William kept a journal that has been preserved in the collection of the Royal Bank of Scotland, Edinburgh.

Once in New South Wales, William was assigned to work as a groom, then as a clerk. He was granted some freedom to reside and work at Windsor, west of Sydney, NSW, under a Ticket-of-Leave in 1834 and was issued with a Certificate of Freedom at the conclusion of his sentence in 1842.

In 1830, William had unsuccessfully attempted to obtain an early permission for his wife and child to join him in the colony. Thereafter, nothing is known of Mary Hill and Margaret Maybury. Church records indicate that several children were born to William Valentine Maybury and Sarah Gillespie at Windsor, NSW, between 1836 and 1846. The record of the baptism of their first child, William Charles Maybury, has not been located. His death certificate states that he was born in Sydney in c.1832, although Sarah's death certificate gives his year of birth as c.1834.

According to Sarah's death certificate, she married William in c.1833. No record of this marriage, or of a permit for a convict marriage in the name of William Valentine Maybury, has yet been located. William's death certificate states that he married Sarah in 1847. This date is much closer to that of the only official record of a marriage between William and Sarah, which took place at Rylstone Catholic Church on 22 April 1855. Sarah married under the maiden name 'Meriner'.

Sarah's use of two maiden names has given rise to the erroneous belief that William was married twice in Australia. Sarah's father was John Mernagh, an Irish political exile, but it appears that a Gillespie family had raised her. No record of Sarah's birth or baptism has been located, but her death certificate places her birth around June 1816. She has been confused with Bridget Mernagh, John Mernagh's second daughter who married Patrick Farley in 1828.

After obtaining his freedom in 1842, William continued his work as a clerk in Windsor, moving to Maitland, NSW, around 1851 and on to the Rylstone area around 1854. William Valentine Maybury finally settled in the Gulgong area where he died 1 Nov 1880. Sarah Gillespie/Mernagh died 10 August 1900 at Gulgong, NSW.

The children of William Valentine Maybury and Sarah Gillespie were:

  1. William Charles Maybury, born 21 December 1832 at Sydney, NSW; died 13 July 1923 in Sydney, NSW. m. Ann Whitely in St. Matthew's Church of England, Windsor, NSW, on 20 April 1854.

  2. James Maybury, born 9 January 1836 at Windsor, NSW; died 24 February 1837 at Windsor, NSW.

  3. Ann Maybury, born 1 February 1838 at Windsor, NSW; m1. James Kelly in St. Mary's Catholic Church, Dabee, NSW on 12 June 1853; m2. Edward Hyland in St. Mary's Catholic Church, Mudgee, NSW on 10 April 1856.

  4. Francis George Maybury, born 26 August 1840 at Windsor, NSW; m1. Jane O'Neil (d. 5 July 1889 at Tamworth, NSW) at Mudgee, NSW, on 31 December 1859; m2. Jane Emmerson at Mudgee, NSW, in 1892.

  5. Louisa Elizabeth Maybury, born 7 August 1843 at Windsor, NSW; m. Cornelius Wade (b. 4 July 1838 at Pinchbeck, Lincolnshire, England) in St. John the Baptist Anglican Church, Mudgee, NSW on 16 December 1861; died 7 August 1931 at Sydney, NSW.

  6. Alfred Maybury, born 20 September 1846 at Windsor, NSW; died 1914 at Cobar, NSW.

  7. Susan Emily Maybury, born 10 October 1851 at Maitland, NSW; m. Thomas Saunders in the St. John the Baptist, Church of England, Mudgee, NSW on 15 February 1872.

William Mayberry [1799-1842]

Founder, soldier, convict, whaler, sawyer, farmer.

William Mayberry is believed to have been the son of Thomas Mayberry, a forgeman, and Arrabella Barlow, baptized on 28 July 1799 in Rawmarsh, Sheffield, Yorkshire, England. Little is known of his family.

William worked as an 'iron founder' before joining the British Army. He served as a member of the British occupation force in France following the Napoleonic Wars. He was court martialled in Guines, France, on 17 February 1818 for the attempted theft of a French customs collector's portmanteau and was sentenced to seven years transportation.

Four months later, William was imprisoned upon the hulk Bellerophon, near London. On 29 September 1818, he was transported aboard the convict ship Surrey to Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania, Australia), arriving on 18 March 1819. William served his sentence without incident and received his Certificate of Freedom on 18 February 1825.

In January 1829, William Mayberry signed aboard the whaling brig Caroline as a seaman. The Caroline was the first whaler fitted out in Hobart, Van Dieman's Land, to hunt the sperm whale fishery. By 1834, William had left Van Diemen's Land and was working as a sawyer in the forests of the Williams River, north-west of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia.

On 4 January 1834, William Mayberry married a convict woman, Mary Hale or Hall at Christ Church, Newcastle. Mary was the daughter of David Hales and Bridget Hall and was born c.1810 in Louth, County Louth, Ireland. Soon after, William took up farming. William 'Mabray' died on 3 March 1842 in the Dungog district, NSW, probably due to an accident with a gun.

William Mayberry and Mary Hale had four children and the family adopted the Maybury spelling of the surname. After William died, Mary Hale apparently married Samuel Richards about 1844, and they had 2 children. After the death of Samuel Richards in 1848, she had another daughter, Catherine Maybury. Mary then married Samuel Dowdie in 1851 - her name was recorded in the marriage register as Mary Mabry. Mary died on the 23 September 1890 at Coolongolook, NSW and was buried at Coolongolook.
