In researching my own ETHERINGTON ancestors, I have also been collecting information about any other ETHERINGTON families and their descendants in Australia. The following are two such families in Australia in the 19th century.
Family 1: Ellick (or Allick) ETHERINGTON and Sarah GOFF lived in Surrey, England, and had children Dinah and John. Ellick remarried, this time to Hannah ROBLEY and had son James (born 1791) and daughter Lydia (born 1794, married Benjamin ESDEN in London and then was sent as a convict to NSW where she married Thomas BARNES).
James ETHERINGTON married Penelope BULL and migrated to Sydney. They had the following children:
- Thomas ETHERINGTON who married Ann Maria TIBBEY
- David ETHERINGTON who married Mary WATSON
- Hannah ETHERINGTON who married James PHELPS
- Martha ETHERINGTON who married John EMERTON
Family 2: Henry ETHERINGTON married Grace BURDEN in England, and migrated to Sydney in 1878 on the "Northbrook". They had the following children:
