The Priaulx family.


Busy with Guernsey and the Priaulx family still not all information was in this blog.
So lets start from the beginning.
Nicholas Priaulx had a son Henry Priaulx in Southampton.
Henry Priaulx married Amelia Hide in 1828.

They went together to Tasminia where their children were born.
Henry William Priaulx born 1 DEC 1830 Tasmania, Australia and died in 1858
Emily Hannah Priaulx born 12 SEP 1832 Tasmania, Australia who married William Heath Vlieland
Maria Margaret Priaulx born 31 JUL 1833 Tasmania, Australia who married Eugene Bellairs.
Clarinda Elizabeth Priaulx born 03 JUN 1835 Tasmania, Australia
Louisa Priaulx born 26 OCT 1836 Tasmania, Australia
Priaulx
Marianne Helen Priaulx 19 jan 1839
Elizabeth Chapelier Priaulx 22 Nov 1843
Official sources give different dates for the births !
Henry became the Assistant Commissariat General based in Hobart.
He returned to Guernsey after the death of Amelia Hide in February 8th, 1855 with 5 unmarried daughters.
Amelia died in 1853 in Hobart as did his son Henry William George at Sandy Bay in 1858.
He also worked in the Commissariat Department.
One daughter remained in Tasmania, Maria Margaret Priaulx who married at the beautiful St George’s Church in Hobart at the end of January 1855 Eugene Bellairs, surveyor and explorer, and she died in New Zealand

I feel that the families Bellairs and Priaulx family´s probably knew each other through their seafaring activities.
Two children were born to Eugene and Maria at Launceston, Adele Marie Louise in 1859 and Henry Eugene in 1861.
Eugene’s mother and another sister, Mira Elizabeth Georgiana, also emigrated as both died in Tasmania.
In 1862 Eugene returned to work in New Zealand for the British Government where four more children were born. Unfortunately, all of his offspring either died in
infancy or did not marry so there are no direct descendants today.
Eugene passed away 23rd September 1898 at Parnell,
Auckland. A photograph is in the 1902 Encyclopaedia of New Zealand Vol.2.
Another daughter of Henry and Amalia is Emily Hannah Priaulx
Who married William Heath Vlieland
He was the executor of the will of Henry Priaulx who then lived at Linden cottage, West hill
The jointly started a school ,but went bancrupt.
Emily Hannah Priaulx died in Ulverston still being a teacher .

Henry Priaulx had a difficult time in Tasmania .
During his commissariat of Tasmania a lot went on .
