Chapman's of Newtown Mount Kennedy

Wicklow

I am seeking information about George Chapman, Elizabeth Chapman and Elizabeth Hall.

Elizabeth Chapman is my gggg grandmother, she married in Western Australia in 1839 ( as a widower with the surname Wood/s).  She married again 1865 and at the time her parents were recorded as George Chapman and Elizabeth Hall from Newtown Mount county Wicklow.

I can not find any information of when  or how Elizabeth arrived in Australia. I am hoping I might be able to find out more if I unearth some information on her parents. So far I haven't . 

 

Would anyone know of the family and be able to shed some light on them?

Posting a few more links I come across may or may not be your George Chapman?

George Chapman in entry for Benjamin Joseph Chapman, "Ireland Marriages, 1619-1898" • FamilySearch

George Chapman, "Ireland Tithe Applotment Books, 1814-1855" • FamilySearch

Kilmacanogue 9 km from Newtown Mount Kennedy

Elizabeth Wood, "England and Wales Census, 1841" • FamilySearch 

Looking into al your named ancestors,

Did Elizabeth and her husband Woods move to England and make their way to Australia from there?

There are a few Richard Floods who pass away in 1830s in the UK.

Nothing found on Elizabeth Hall. I wonder was she from somewhere other than Wicklow?

Thank you everyone. I think Richard Woods is a good chance. I'll see if I can find more on him. He might of died in Australia.

I think Elizabeth Hall Might be from somewhere else too as I havent been able to find her.

I found newspaper articles of George Chapman school master from Newtwn Mount Kennedy in  High Court case v Rev Stennett in 1827. Featured in lots of newspapers.
