Hi Michelle
Interestingly there is a Eliyah Ealdon taken before the court June 1823 Middlesex , although he
was acquitted, I thought worth mentioning.
It may be worth considering that Elijah may not have been deceased when Rosian remarried, it would not be the first time this has happened, of course there may be another explanation. I noticed the dates were wrong above stating that Rosinas husband died 10 years after she remarried, was that just a typo?
I located this on freebmd 10781/1892 EILDON ELIJAH UNKNOWN UNKNOWN PARRAMATTA there parents were unknown.
I know this may not be exactly what you want to see, and that also it may not be the right one, but you may consider it worth investigating?
I would be delighted if it turns out the right person for you.
kindest regards
Sharon
Hi Sharon
Thank you so much for your reply and your interest! Yes it was a typo re: the remarriage date - Rosina and James Hammond were married in 1857 NOT 1847, and the date of death of her first husband was given as July 1957.
The Eliyah Ealdon before the court in June 1823 COULD be Elijah. Thank you for that - I'll go have a look. Elijah Ealden/Ealdon/Eilddon etc seem to be fairly common in England, but not in New South Wales :)
I'll also check out the Eildon Elijah in Parramatta - that actually could be him too... as you say, he may not have actually died before Rosina remarried.
Have you had a look at my blog posts about this mystery? If not they are at michellesheritage.wordpress.com if you are interested. I'll keep updating as I find things.
Doesn't help that his parents are unknown though, does it?
Thanks again for your interest and help.

You may be interested in the attached file, if the same person it seems he attended court a few
times before being transported
kind regards

ahhh, yes, I have seen this - I have located a tasmanian convict who I think is the James Hammond that Rosina married - and this is him. I haven't conclusively linked the convict James Hammond to the one who married Rosina, but the dates all seem to match fairly closely.
If Rosina DID marry an ex-convict it lends credibility to Elijah also possibly being a convict. There is also the James Ealden convict who came from the same area as James Hammond (they may have known each other previously). If Elijah and James Ealden are the same person (and this is possible, but again not conclusive and not as likely as the James Hammond / James Hammond link), it's possible that they all knew each other before Rosina and James Hammond married.
It's fairly fascinating, but still all conjecture at the moment. The James Hammond who seems to have been in and out of prison in England before being transported does look like he might have been my great great great grandfather though.
Thanks again for your help. I'd be really interested to see anything else you turn up!
