My 3xgreat grandmother was Mary Ann Scammell born 1818 in Clerkenwell, London, ENG to William Scammell and Ann Sedgwick. At some point prior to 1837 she turned up in Hobart, Van Dieman's Land, AUS where she later married my 3x great grandfather Walter Simpson.
William Scammell, her father was a silversmith or silver chaser born in 1792 in London to Joseph Scammell and Mary Ellewell. He was made a freeman of the Goldsmiths Company in 1813 after serving his apprenticeship. William & Ann Scammell had five children - Mary Ann, Eliza Sarah, Emma, William Sedgwick and Fanny. I know nothing of my 3xgreat grandmother's siblings.
Joseph Scammell, father of William, was a silversmith born 1752 in Tetbury, Gloucestershire. He married Mary Ellewell in 1778 at St Alphgate, London Wall, ENG. They had only two sons -Joseph and William. The son Joseph was also a silversmith. Joseph the father, was the son of John Scammell and Mary Comport.
I would be interested in contact from anyone who thinks they may know anything about these families.

Click on Joseph Scammell at the bottom and you will be able to trace your line back to around 1640
Our family come from Tetbury in Wiltshire.

Hi I am research a number of connected families who arrived on Asia 1839 and took up selections in Mt Barker Wistow area's. One of these is Archibld Simpson, his wife Isabella nee Ross & 3 children, also Fanny,Maryann,Walter & Sarah Simpson & Mrs Maryanne Simpson nee Scammell.....
Other Mt Barker History sites also have a Walter Simpson living at White Peg Lane,Wistow and he and his wife Mary ann were involved in starting a school in Mt Barker . Cemetry listings have Walter Simpson d 17/1/1876 @ 76y.o father of Walter...
Do you have any more information on the Simpson as this may assist me working out if their is a connection between these families...
