    Notes:

    POSSIBLY 'SARAH COOK' - born 1 Sep, 1793, Ravenstone, father William Cook, mother Martha?

    BIOGRAPHY: Came to Launceston 1841 on the 'Ullswater' with their 8 children (mentioned in Launceston Advertiser (5/8/1841) and Cornwall Chronicle (7/8/1841)). Last name was noted as 'Cock' in some places, 'Cook' in others. From http://www.thecorys.com/sayer/d11052.htm - Elizabeth Medwin must have been a resourceful woman: once when bushrangers Bradley and Connor called, planning revenge on William for having replaced Bradley services with the more reliable ones of a ticket-of-leave man, Elizabeth calmly tied up 60 pounds in her skirts, keeping 2 pounds visible. Since William was not at home, the bushrangers took food and the two pounds and went away, leaving the bulk of the family savings safe in Elizabeth's skirts.

    Elizabeth married William Medwin 1824. William was born 1798, Buckinghamshire, England, United Kingdom; died 26 Apr 1869, Horton, Tasmania, Australia; was buried Stanley, Tasmania, Australia. [Group Sheet]
