Jemima Thame
- Born: 1826, Twyford, Buckinghamshire England
- Christened: 26 Aug 1826, Twyford, Buckinghamshire England
- Marriage (1): George Washford Page in 1858 in Sydney, NSW Australia
- Died: 1859, St Leonards, Sydney, NSW Australia at age 33
Noted events in her life were:
• source. Trevor Davison & Alex & Robyn Leeflang in SMH who notes that she sailed to Australia from England in 1853 with her cousin Richard Thame and the Hitchcock family comprising John, Sarah, Mary Ann (who married Richard Thame in 1854), Elizabeth and Jane
Who later on writes:
I am the great/great niece of Jemima Thame, wife of George Washford Page, sister of my great/grandfather Richard Henry Thame. Jemima sailed to Australia in the emigrant ship "Star of the East" in 1853 in company with the Hitchcock family. She was in Australia for 6 years before she married George but their marriage was short-lived as she died of tuberculosis and pneumonia in 1859 after only about 18 months of marriage. They were in business in Blues Point, North Sydney at the London Store when she died and she was taken to her burial at the Gore Hill Cemetery. She was so young. George went on to marry again and have a family. Richard Henry Thame had various businesses in Sydney from about 186l - he eventually moved to Barraba NSW where he invested in Woods Reef Gold Mine and bought the Commercial Hotel there. His daughter Annie (later Banfield) took over the hotel after Richard Henry's death.
I would like to find out as much as I possibly can about Jemima - where she lived, where she may have carried on her dressmaking and millinery business - anything at all.
