DescriptionWilliam Inskip and Maria Carter were married 12 October 1828, in Bedfordshire, England.
In the records of the Workhouse and Poor Law for December 1840 Maria Inskip is recorded asking for relief, as her husband was in gaol.
In 1841, William made an application to the Workhouse and Poor Law for assistance as their three years old child was ill.
William Inskip, Maria and their six children came to Australia as assisted immigrants, from Maulden, Bedfordshire, England, on the 'Neptune’, and arrived in Sydney 11 February 1844.
Shipping records show William was a farm labourer and Maria a lacemaker. Both could read, and William was able to write.
William had a sister living in Wollongong, and that may have been the reason they chose to settle in the area.
Of their children -
Charles bn.1832 (married Eliza Jane Pugh Nichols in 1852, died 1912, Shellharbour)
Daniel bn.1833 (married Mary Ann Clarke & Johanna Clarke, died 1904, Cobargo)

William and Maria had another child in Australia, Martha bn 9 January 1845 (married Hugh Perry, died 1893, Bega). Martha’s baptism records show they were living at Macquarie Rivulet on the Terry Meadows Estate, at the time.

William died in 1877 in Bega, N.S.W.
Maria died in 1888 Brogo, Bega N.S.W.
