John Bath was born in 1811 on the South Atlantic island of St. Helena (Ascension Island). He was a wheelwright by trade and died 27 July 1881 at Cowra NSW aged 70 years. His wife Mary Naughtin was incorrectly recorded as Mary Brennan on his death certificate. John married Mary Naughtin on 27 January 1840 at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Mary was an Irish convict and permission to marry was granted on 24 December 1839. At the time of his marriage John was 29 years old, residing in Sydney, a bachelor and recorded as Catholic. He arrived in Sydney as a free immigrant on the ‘Harriet’. The exact date of his arrival hasn't been located. Mary was 19 years old when she married and recorded as Mary Norton otherwise Naughton. She was a spinster and Presbyterian having arrived on the ‘Margaret’ in 1837. |

James Bay, St. Helena (1794)Mary Naughtin
Mary's convict record describes her as Mary Naughtin alias Naughton, McNaughton, Norton, a Catholic born in 1821 at County Clare, Ireland (she is recorded as Presbyterian at her marriage). Mary was 16 years old when tried at County Clare on 24 October 1836 for stealing money and received a seven year sentence. She was transported on the first voyage of the 'Margaret' in 1837, her calling being a children's maid.
Mary was granted her Certificate of Freedom on 7 Nov 1840 at Picton NSW. She is described as being 5'½" tall with a fair, ruddy and a little pock pitted complexion, brown hair with hazel eyes, the wife of John Bath, per 'Harriet' who arrived free.
John and Mary's children were Edward, Charles, Elizabeth and Winifred.
Edward Bath
John and Mary's son, Edward was born 30 April 1843 at Picton NSW. Edward married Winifred McNamara in 1876 at the house of Winifred's father, Martin McNamara of Neraga Creek, Boorowa NSW. Winifred was born in 1860 at Moreton Park near Camden NSW and her mother was Honora McDonnell.
Edward's marriage certificate doesn't state his birthplace, age or parents, only that he was a carpenter by trade and resided at Neraga Creek NSW. Winifred was under the age of 21 and also residing at Neraga Creek with her parents. Her death certificate reveals that she was 16 years old at the time of marriage.
Edward and Winifred's children were all born at Cowra NSW except Winifred (aka Millicent) who was born at Goulburn NSW. Eldest child, Elizabeth Mary's birth wasn't registered, she was born 1875-1876. Charles was born 1877, Mary 1879, Edward 1880, Winifred (aka Millicent) 1881, Honora Ruth 1882 and John Joseph 1884. Winifred died in 1886 at Cowra NSW leaving behind a young family and was pregnant at the time of her death.
Edward didn't remarry but it has been discovered that he had a son with Catherine Teresa Adelaide (nee Jones, 1st marriage Martin) Atkins in 1892 at Harden NSW. Catherine registered their son as Arthur Herbert Atkins and stated incorrectly his father as John Joseph Atkins. An early family legal document reveals that Catherine Atkins (aka Kitty) had one child since her husband left her. I believe he left her when he found she was pregnant.
On 28th November, 1864 Edward Bath was accused of the attempted murder of a Chinese miner at Young, NSW. He was described as a half-caste and also as having Negro complexion with black hair, dark brown eyes and very dark complexion.
Edward died 15 March, 1907 at Temora NSW.
Winifred (aka Millicent) Bath
Winifred, daughter of Edward and Winifred Bath was my grandmother who was married four times:
Her first marriage was to William Warren about 1903; second to William John Smith
in 1908 and third to William Carver about 1912.
Her fourth marriage was to George Frederick Elliott in 1924. My mother, Doreen Blanche Elliott
was from this marriage.
Winifred died as Millicent Winifred Elliott in 1960 at Glebe, Sydney NSW. Her daughter, Doreen, is the informant and states Millicent's marriages but children to these marriages are unknown.
Millicent had another daughter, Marjory Flora who was born on 21 July 1900 at The Home of Hope, Stanley Street, Newtown where Millicent was also residing. She states herself as the mother, Millie Bath, 21 years old and born at Cowra NSW.
